Hi all, My VR6 C is running really lumpy, like a tractor and the whole car vibrates like mad for most of the rev range and is very low on power. Tried changing, coilpack, plugs and leads to no avail. Got hold of a vag-com and it reported faults: 00515 - Camshaft Position (Hall) Sensor (G40) 30-00 - open or short to B+ 00513 - Shareware Version. To Decode all DTCs 03-00 - Please Register/Activate Has anyone changed this sensor before? Is it a right bugger? Or not to difficult?

Hi Hasan, How much would you be after?

I'm after some standard shifter cables from a VR6 Corrado. I'm guessing that any standard 02A shifter cables will do the job, but dont know for sure. Be great if someone could confirm.

Sorted, thanks Tim.

Hi Tim, PM sent.

As per title.

My effort of imitating the vwms style shifter. Hopefully should get round to fitting within the next month or so... ---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ---------- The wheels after the center caps were sprayed white and the car had a good clean:

Probably a good call Sam if an oem look is what you are after, these are more suitable for track/race use really. Thanks for showing an interest.

Bump!! Mike is now about to take orders so get ur name down if u want a set. Sam, Mike has said that he has now sent u a message so hopefully he'll be in touch more often now.

Sam, I'll chase him and ask him to answer your question. Just re-read this thread and I now understand what you mean by the black band that goes around the edge of the windows.

Bump

Picture pinched from CGTI of a set fitted to a MK1 Golf.

Jimbob, shouldn't be a problem to tint them. The cost of the windows on Deutsch ebay are around £135 + delivery so might be a bargain, depending on delivery costs. Not sure on the quality of those (could be great or not so great), they appear to be flat rather than curved judging by the photos but can't say for sure and the listing states they are 3mm thick. I'm going to wait for a price from the chap on CGTI (link in op) as the quality is top notch and they are curved so will fit the car very well. They are a little bit thicker at 4mm.

Bump. Anyone interested?

They are curved to follow the body.

It could be worth joining CGTI as membership is free. If I remember rightly, all you need is an email address. There's quite a few posts with pictures and some questions and answers in his thread. There are also a small number people already interested in a set for a Corrado on CGTI. If you don't want to join CGTI though I could ask him to join the Corrado forum and start a thread on here.

Quicky - yea that's right all sides and rear screen. Scrolling through the earlier posts in the thread mentioned in the op, he says that he can do either - a direct replacement for the glass which can be fitted with the original rubber or provide them with the black strips that cover the outside edge, ready for bonding to give the factory look. A few related points that might be worth noting to anyone considering: - Judging by the positive feedback from people who have received kits from him, they are of a very good quality. - The main reason for fitting plastic windows is to save weight (they are around 40% than their glass equivalent). - They will not be an aesthetic improvement as they will scratch more easily than glass however the poly carb windows are apprantly pretty good at resisting scratches.

That's a good point emu - I'll be putting them into my car and using it on the road and track. A couple of my friends have road cars with plastic windows and don't have any issues with the fuzz or at an MOT, though this does not necessarily mean they are legal. As far as I am aware for cars made after 1985 - the front windscreen must be specified safety glass and all other windows and screens can be made from safety glazing (a material which if fractured will not fly into sharp fragments). I believe the guy doing the window kits on CGTI makes them from lexan or poly carb which are classed as safety glazing. I can ask him for more details if this is a concern of anyone interested in getting a set. Tinting can also be an issue, so to be on the safe side I'll be asking for clear, tint free perspex. I found some info on safety glass/glazing through the following link: http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roads/vehicles/vssafety/summariesofconstructionandus4576?page=4 And an updated version (see page 30): http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2001/25/pdfs/uksi_20010025_en.pdf

Hi all. There is a fella on CGTI who is likely to be doing a run of perspex windows - he is waiting on receiving some CAD drawings before he can begin. Hopefully shouldn't be long before he can start making them. There will be a discount if he can confirm numerous orders for Corrado windows (the more, the merrier). Follow the link to the thread for more info, if you are interested then stick your name down. http://clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=209821&page=7

A few more pics...

Lol that's quite funny. I only met you once or twice I think so you may not remember me. I hung around with Gary, Glen Bridges an that lot from Andover. Probably saw each other at barend in winchester fairly often but i did ride Oxford wooden park once or twice. Do you still ride? I've seen Lima in ride mag a few times within the last year or so.

My name is Ali Plumbridge - I used to ride Bmx. The Poll I met was friends with with a chap called Lima.

OK thanks for the advice chaps. I suspected that that might be the best option.

Sorry for delayed response, I'll get some more pics up soon. On a unrelated matter - I once met someone from oxford with the nick name Poll!

As per title. From VR6 Golf to go with calipers I already have. Ideally in as good condition as is available but will consider anything.
