Window lifting bushes(rollers) available from the stealers,about £2 each part no. 535837437 heres a link how to do them - http://www.corrado-club.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2890

Mine rattled, i replaced the window lifter bushes.about £2 each, while doing this i found the lifter mechanism had broken its weld ! A spot of weld later,all cured ,no rattles and a super smooth window.Took about 45 mins, sorry dude i didnt take any pictures.

Still available,not cheap ! Dont buy 2nd hand, its not worth it.

Forgot to mention in the original post,it all comes with a three year warranty !

Fitted price was £550, or you can buy the kit for £200 ! Watching them fitting it, the electrics looked easy.But i didnt feel confident doing the leather ! Theres many on here who could easily fit their kit themselves. I'am more a spanner man

Years ago when i owned a pick-up i always put a krook lock on it ! It got broke into,and where the scum tried levering the lock off,the wheel got very mishaped, but the lock stayed put ! They must have got bored or disturbed(it was during the day) they left it. I drove it many years with the distorted wheel ! My Corrado has a cat 1 alarm,immobiliser,tracker and the ever visible Krook lock :D

Had my seats converted to heated today,it took two and a half hours !! The owner (Stef) stripped my seats,and fitted the carbonfibre heating elements,while his Auto electrician fitted the wiring and loom ! I kept myself busy,asking stoopid questions :cuckoo: The drivers seat works on the switch,the passenger seat has a pressure sensor,so only works when someone is seated and the switch is on! Id like to say what a friendly and proffesional outfit they are,check out their website http://www.heated-seats.co.uk/fitting.htm I took a few pics so you can see whats involvedpassat climatronic wiring diags.pdfpic fone 7 169.jpg[/attachment:1z3lj3i7]climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfpic fone 7 170.jpg[/attachment:1z3lj3i7]2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfpic fone 7 171.jpg[/attachment:1z3lj3i7]pic fone 7 172.jpg[/attachment:1z3lj3i7] The switch is illuminated,goes from 0-5, i know its not as nice as the original corrado one,but it works ! Tested it on the way home,PHEW !! I had the two front seats done,the loom is there in case i want the rears done aswell ! When you add up the price of the original switch,loom and relays and now obsolete seat elements,its a viable option. Your seats dont have to be leather to be heated. If anyones interested,mention my write-up on this forum,he said he would give a good deal !

Thanks Colin, i will give them a ring.

Nine years as an everyday user, I go on holiday,and i get withdrawl symptons ! Ive personally done 101k and still counting

Thanks David, did they fit 90amp ones to the 88-92 Passats ? Or have i got to go custom,like Brise ? Cheers Edit- just found some 90amp passat ones on e-bay

I have a 65amp alternator,(thanks jon)i need a 90amp one,do i need one specific to the 9a engine ? Or will one fit from another model Corrado,golf,passat . Thanks

They do come up for sale,now and again ! Perhaps a wanted ad may turn up one.

You have done a top job on your arches,they look like they "rolled" out of the factory like that ! Looking forward to seeing this where it belongs,on the road

Where is the Amp output marked on the alternator ? Mines a Bosch,but without taking it off,is there another way of finding out ? Reason for asking,i should have my heated leather working this week,and suddenly thought is my alternator 65 amp or 90 amp. Thanks in advance

To me thats cool !! Just imagine getting a Lambo and re-shelling it with a Corrado, :shock: To think i was only 5 numbers away from winning the lotto this week !

On the days that the batteries had "died" was it a cold/frosty day ? Meaning if you had a current drain, the frost/cold could have killed the batteries off !

I had a google on your behalf,hope it helps http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_kills_th ... he_battery

Are the batteries under guarantee ?
