What became of G733 ALP? The Bordeaux red valver I swapped with your mk3 golf gti many moons ago? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeah I did the same check, I was just curious if anyone on here had it now, think I sold it to a member called Big Ben

As above really, just curious as to who owns my old rado 1.8 16v, hoping it's still on the road :)

Wish i could buy it back off you now mate! looks lovely after the respray! well done mate, wish i could of shown her the attention that you have :)

Good to see my old valvers in good hands now mate lol

This may sound stupid cos im not too clued up with the finer details but here goes. Is it possible to have diagnostic tests on corrados? Mines a G reg 1.8 16v and i just wanna find out if any sensors are faulty/not working and other things. Any help and info appreciated

ah right how is that achieved?

Just changed the fuse unit connected to the blower but still not working, will changin the blower itself work perhaps?

no when its started it runs just fine, any other ideas?

Many of you will probably of already heard this one countless times and i have searched on here but havnt really found anything of defenite idea of what is wrong Basically my 1.8 16v starts fine in the mornings and within half an hour of it being turned off but any time between half an hour and 4-5 hours of it beeing left and its not starting smoothly at all. again apologies to the regular users here who may get this one all the time cheers

do you have any pics of the finish? im a trainee paint sprayer, if its edging it usually means the egdes of the repaires have not been feathered out properly and if there are scratches under the paint that also means that the filler hasnt been sanded down properly which can cause the primer, basecoat, and laquer to sink into them leaving the lines, or that theres not enough primer on the repaires, some pics could help though mate. i wouldnt pay him anymore, it should be down to him to correct his mistakes for free!

What temperature is the rad fan supposed to cut in at on a G plate 1.8 16v?. Normal running temps for mine are around 90 and usually hovers around 95 in traffic, but recently had my timing knocked back slightly to get rid of a pinking issue and now its seems to be running slightly hotter occasionaly brushing the 100 mark. cheers for any info

ok just had a play around and switched the headlights around to see if the passenger side one would work plugged into the drivers side socket and it worked fine so there must be something wrong with the headlight itself

Changed the bulb and the fuse, still no joy, not really good with electrical stuff, any ideas?

Hey guys, quick question, if one of your full beams is not working does it cause a MOT Failure? cheers

Sorry to hear that bud, hope its found without damage and the person who stole it lashed!!

do they cause knocking when steering at slow speeds?

quick question, which part of cv joints usually need replacing, the inner or outer or both? cheers

Hey guys, Above really, my blower only used to work on number 4 like alot of others but today went to turn it on and nothing, changed the fuse but still no joy, any ideas? 1.8 16v

cheers mate!! also if i was to get a knocking noise when reversing on full lock, what would that be? its usually just two knocks everytime through the manouver

Hey guys Bit of a strange request but can someone who is more mechanicaly minded than me, list all the different perishable joints that are part of the front subframe and suspension, basically anything that may need to be replaced, such as cv joints, bushes etc apoligies and thanks :notworthy:

oops sorry i meant fitted lol

As above really, any rough estimates? cheers

right ok, guessin its gonna be my clutch then?

so its better to get the corrado one?
