I'l be picking up scruffydubbers BahnBrenner corrado this week or next week. The charger sounds absolutley mental and ive totally fallen n love with it. You won't be dissapointed. Just make sure you fir a top quality induction cone, as I know of one bahn brenner that was destroyed when it sucked in the induction cone innards..

Hi. Next time i'd take out an agreed value insurance package before hand, saving all the botther. 15 quid and HIC will give you agreed value. :(

Audi wouldn't let VW use the name Quattro so they had to use Synchro, thats about all I know

newcorradoowner, notice much of a diffrernece with the 52mm manifolD?? Im toying witht he Idea.
-
Mines crumbling now. Was gonna buy a nice shiny machined one at VW Action, but it was 30 quid :shock:
-
not to my taste on a corrado. But each to his own!

Lo all. Ive got an alpine white rado. As you can imagine the surround on the lights and the 3 bar grille are black plastic, while the eyebrow spoiler, chin spoiler and bumper are white. Do you recon I should colour code the grill and the surround on the lights? Im in bit of a quandry, and help would be appreciated. Ive seen colour coded silver and green rado's at VW Action and they looked well smart..
-
They even sell them for my mk4 polo 1.4 8v. Theyre supposed to cure flat spots during acceperation. But ive been told by the garage that sells em that theyre not muc good unless you've medded your engine and its gonna need more fuel. I think we in uk can get em fro around 90 quid.
-
i definatley want one, but the website dont stock any for VW's :(
-
botched it on, and fitts better than the original, and you cant see the zip ties because the slats on the grill cover them. exellent
-
riiight im with you. Ive just popped to vw to get a cam belt and a vee belt as the vee is lookin a bit ragged. Is it a change-it-meself jobby or one for a garage?

exoert reqd: Is The 1.8 engine the same as a golfs?
capnahab replied to madhatta's topic in Engine Bay
would anything be gained by putting a mk2 GTI 16v 52mm inlet manifold on me rado, replacing the smaller one? -
Im with HIC too. They don't charge extra for: --> Alloys --> Backboxes --> Strut Braces --> Lowering And to top it off, theyre pretty cheap :D
-
why didnt the fools just go through the window???? They did on my polo a couple of months ago, did a nice clean job, didnt mark my car at all, just did the rear quarter window. Got away with £350 quids worth of sub and amp. I did chase the buggers for 3 miles mind. Scared them sh1tless :evil:
-
oooh yes indeed. If you havent drilled your airbox yet, then get to it. Sounds fantastic.
-
righto
-
I take it the Valver uses the same part? My valver is considerably slower than my mates MK2 GTi in all gears, and im thinking this could be it.
-
this used to happen to my gf's seat ibiza 1.2. She'd be driving along normally, and the revs would just drop without warning. Pull over and wait 30 seconds and it'd restart fine. Im sorry to say I dont kno wwhats causing this, but shes now bought a Corrado 16v and looking to sell the Seat, so at least something good has come out of it.
