what colour is this?? i belive it to be aqua but need to confirm before i go out and buy paint to do my rust spot on tuesday.... also where is the paint code found on the car (dont say in the handbook as i dont have one) aslong as i know the name though i can get the code off here http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=71628&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

ah ok sweet, is it an easy DIY job? not sure what im lookin at exactly but is the slave the one thats down the right of the engine block on the 2l 16v quite low in the engine bay, if so it dont look to bad a job, might just give it a go myself, iv got all the tools etc and a workshop manual on the way so may just blead it myself aswell if the manual explains it ok, i blead bike brakes all the time and it cant be much harder can it???? cheers rob

well its off to the volkscentre next week sometime to have the system bled to see if that rectifys the fault then they are going to see where we go from there, realy good having an indipendant vw specialist on your doorstep, any clues what price i would be looking at to change both the master and slave cylinder??

thats exactly what i though, i love a good trawl through all the crap you can buy off ebay!!! but please, if its going to be dung let it be tinyhorse dung 8)

well on one of my usual trawls through the dregs of ebay i came across this, i find it hard to belive that magnest can adjust the way that fuel is used, has anyone on here got the knowledge of how fuel reacts to magnetic fields to tell us if the claims made here could possibly be true? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fuel-Saver-for-VW-BORA-CADDY-CORRADO-GOLF-LT_W0QQitemZ360077676292QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item360077676292&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 cheers rob

hi all iv had the corado about a month now and recently started to notice that the clutch pedal sometimes dosnt return to its original position and instead sits halfway, nomatter where the pedal is positioned the clutch bite is at the same point and there is never any slipping when he pedal is sitting at the halfway point of its travel just above the bite, i can life the pedal with my foot to the correct position and after doing so it sometimes returns and sometimes sticks half way again, has anyone got any clues as to what may be causing this?? everything is working correctly and all gears engage perfect its just a tad irritataing sometimes, i was wondering if it could possibly requier the fluid topping up?? i have used the search but nothing seems to describe the same problem as i am experiencing. any help would be greatly appreciated cheers rob

hi, been looking at a couple of items for the corrado, its a 2l 16v on a M plate and i was looking at a 50mm inlet manifold from a mk2 golf 2l 16v inc throtle boadies, will this fit and/or give any perfomance gains?? also been looking at this stainless exhaust manifold on fleebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-CORRADO-MANIFOLD-1-8-2-0-16V-STAINLESS-STEEL_W0QQitemZ160274069146QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160274069146&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 again will this make any difference?? thanks rob

yeh need to start saving for coiles now as dont want to fit any crap, looks like i need to get some overtime in, didnt realise you were on here mate, small world lol

yeh im over the moon for the price i paid, more over the moon that it can take two downhill bikes with the seats down, belive me its very important ha ha!!

special pedal adaptors make using the pedals no problem, yeh wheels are deffo staying on after the feedback you guys have given, :clap:

funny you say that as when having the tyres fitted by a mate he said the exact same thing, get the black paint out and do the inset areas, im also thinking of going for a almost mirror polish with them, they shune nice now but i want more, on the prowl for porsche centre caps aswell as i though they looked like scaled down design 90s too, to sum it up i love this car, never thought i could get such a good car for so little cash

yeh they are the 15" mate, was going to change them but they realy have grown on me since i got the car and i think they will look with the car dropped and possibly some spacers to bring the wheels out a little, to be honest i put the plates on whne i got the car almost three weeks ago and got stoped having fogs on and the plates wernt mentioned, cheers for the advice though. paint has come up amazing with good old autoglym resin polish then dodojuice blue velvet wax!! cant belive how good it looks, will hopefuy bring it to some vw meets at some point, any one know of any up here in the north east?? rob

i had this and thats what it was

only palns at the mo are to get it mint, new head lamps and fogs, sort some tiny rust patches, tidy engine bay up, get new roof strips, new splitter and wheel refurb

yeh i bought it the day it went up, paid 1700 aswell as it needed and exhaust!! bargain of the year for me

blue will be best when its 40mm lower

after owning the car for a couple of weels now i finaly got a break in the weather and from work to do a wash, polish and wax, realy wanted to do a full detail but was working against the looming clouds and didnt want to risk it, anyway here it is: 1995 2l 16v with just 54k on the clock, pics realy dont do it justice but never mind

ooo those cups are sweet, going to try and get some!!!! chocolate removal shal commence on friday when im off after i have fully cleaned and waxed the exterior, cheers for the tip on the halfords stuff, hope it smells as ood as you say :)

right, left the car in the sun yesterday with a foil wraped bar of chocolate on the little shelf below the dash, when i returned i found a nice pool of chocolate had hardened, at first i thought i would just remove it when i got home but have just realised that it is felt lined, any clues how im going to remove this big mess?? cheers rob

oops sorry guys, my lack of spelling skills caused me not to find the correct info, is the blue/white wire in the loom?? do i just pull it oput and isolate it with tape?

right, finaly got my stereo to work last night and thought all was well uintill today, firstly the thing wont turn off when the ignition is off (i belive i know how to fix this) and 2nd an most irritating the spoiler wont raise or lower automaticly but it was working yesterday, weird thig is my mate had it out last night after i put the stereo in and the spoiler was working although the front was not on it, this is a weird fault and i have tried the search with no joy, any help realy would be appreciated as this fault is so irritating cheers rob

good stuf mate cheers, shall go and get them ordered on tuesday when im off,

cheers mate, so its thrue that i need two drivers side blades rather than 1 drivers side and 1 passenger,

hello, my wipers move etc perfectly, the only problem im having is that they barley wipe the skreen, its like they are hovering above the surface not doing anyhting, has anyone else had this problem, will a lupo conversion sort this out?? if so how do i go about doing this? cheers in advance rob

balls, so it looks like i have a problem somewhere else then, not good, any ideas why i might not get the feed then?? hope i dont have to pay anyone to sort this one out,
