Correction, line 3 should read "around £16.00 delivered from LLL parts for all 6".

You could also use a genuine VW bolt, N90969202, this again is a M10x25mm x 1.5 pitch bolt, 10.9 tensile rating, so same as original, it also has the same size shoulder width, and head is correct at 17mm, also have a reduced diameter lead in on shank to ease installation. Bit more expensive than the Porsche ones, but more accessible for some ?, around £16.00 delivered from LLL parts, Deutsche Parts also do them for similar money (if you buy all six). I attach a pic.

Cressa, Not about this topic, but another thing I messaged you about, can you check messages please.

Lovely Job Chris, For anyone who wonders what a brand new Corrado VR6 looked like, check out the one coming up for auction on 20th Dec, by Bonhams Auction's :https://carsonline.bonhams.com/en/listings/volkswagen/corrado-vr6/ its as close as you are going to get to a new car, just 5k miles.... Fat wallet necessary though ! Starting price around £20k ?

Great job, silly question maybe, but did you drive it out or push ?

Note, This is for very early Instrument Clusters , from "M" Chassis Build onwards it was integrated into the main board on the cluster, and non replaceable.

Right, thanks for that, just wondered.

Hi, Re you original post for replacement early style Corrado scripted sill strips in 2018, do you still do these ? Posted August 13, 2018 Please look at our new "Corrado" - strip: https://www.pic-upload.de/view-35786063/20180723_153845.jpg.html

Hi, Thanks for replying so quickly. Hmmm, well if these are from OEM+ , run by a guy called "Darko" from Macedonia, then I will forget about it, i dealt with him before, of about 6 stickers on his regular website 4 were wrong shade, or wrong size, or wrong font, and just looked odd. When I queried this he promised to send replacements, but ultimately never did, I took him off my christmass card list. So thanks , I will go ahead with my originals. Thanks.

Hi, Can I ask where did you get the decals / stickers from ? I have overhauled my original servo and was going to try to re-apply my original ATE Blue sticker, I also have a brand new OEM Master Cylinder bought from VW 10+ years ago, and that had no sticker.. I could not find these correct number ones on line. Thanks.

Corroda, HI, Late to the thread, but unless I missed it, did you return the doors to Heritage for a refund, and if so is the moral of the story don't bother buying new doors, they probably won't fit ? Regards.

Chris, Many thanks for taking time out to post the pics and for the info, I have re-plated/ passivated the offending end fittings today, need to paint, the main pipes again, the olive green spray I used was rubbish, came off to easily, need to find the right colour and type of paint, but hopefully will get there, just another thousand things to do along the way with my G60. Have spent Far too much of my time, on this project, any sane person would have taken another direction a long time ago ! Hopefully will be on the road next year ? Cheers.

Ah, Many thanks for responding so quickly, so I home electroplated just the end fittings on mine , having taped up the main pipes and hose ends, all looked great at first but about 6 months later got corrosion spreading out from the small holes in the tube end fittings, some of the electrolyte must have been trapped and started leaching out. I started doing the plating myself (done majority of bolts , nuts, brackets etc) really only because I could not find any electroplaters within a 50 mile radius of Brackley that would bother to answer my voice mails, or online contact requests...perhaps I should have just knocked on their door, less easy to ignore me! Who does yours ? Many thanks, maybe I should try again , but plate the whole tubes with no taping so less chance of the problem.

Hi, You are getting on well, will be very satisfying for you when you have it back on the road. I have a question, your ABS to Master Cylinder feed pipes look New are they, or were they in that good a condition to start ?.

Hi, Only noticed this, and so you may have corrected this already, but I just thought you should know the handbrake cable clip shown in the picture is not fitted correctly, it will not hold anything on, the clip horsehoe end should butt up against the cable metal collar, and the end "legs" should clip over the caliper internal bracket where the cable passes through, see pic of my yet to be rebuilt caliper for ref. Cheers.

My VDO pump was not poorly stored , handled badly in any way, it was crack free when I bought it new, but 10+ years later had developed a couple of cracks on the swirl pot top casing when I went to install it, 18+ months later the cracks had spread on the swirl pot top casing only, so it is most likely the plastic has aged , and dried out , if it had been sitting in a tank full of fuel I am guessing it would not have aged and cracked in that way. The main plastic parts of the pump are made of POM (Polyoxymethylene), but the top casing that is cracking, has no markings at all to indicate the type of plastic. Anyway, I have probably spent too much time on this subject, so will get on with something else now !

Update, as I would have had to remove my "NOS", from about 2006 VDO Pump I mentioned I installed 18+ months ago to replace the fuel hoses (which I did change at the time , but stupid me, used the wrong hose, needs to be Submersible type, which I have now got Cohline 2190), it was just as well I did. The couple of small cracks noticed before install had spread like cancer, and given time probably the whole top cap would have broken apart, only the swirlpot top, where the return nozzle is affected, all the rest is fine, so its probably a different crappy plastic. See attached pictures, to me this evidence that the VOO NOS items, are probably not worth the risk, as even if the cracks are not there to start with, they could start sometime later. The Pump itself is ok, I have taken the unit apart completely to clean the filters, I obviously need to remove the old fuel (car has not been driven in 10+ years, has been started many times, but always on a low tank, and the fuel is now pretty horrible.! I may buy the JP Pump, and see if i can swap my VDO Pump into the JP casing, I would then have a spare pump.

Hmmm...don't know how I got that mixed up, i looked on the JP Classic Site, but hey ho, I sit corrected ! Good luck to anyone buying any of these manufacturers pumps, its hobson's choice. Cheers.

Hello, Just so you are aware the picture on Heritage Parts site shows a Unit with Screws holding the halves together, but this is different to the picture shown on JP Parts Website for 1H0919651Q, which I attach, the JP own parts website pictured item has no screws , the halves clip together 9 As an aside, has anyone ever traced the "FORST" supplier Heritage suggest they use?, I have never found that company on any web search. Cheers.

On 2nd thoughts looking again at your pics, the fuel spout cracks are too wide to just be plastic deterioration, as you mentioned previously it looks like this has been dropped at some point, ie leverage has been applied.

Hi, The worry would be cracks around the Pump flange / spout, as you seem to have, if they are all the way through you will lose pressure, | suspect if they had been in the tank environment the cracks wouldn't have appeared, but that's a big maybe. I guess the pump supplied to you is NOS, not new production, I personally would return it and request a new unit, or money back and buy another manufacturer unit as suggested in this thread. I was going to have look at VDO Aftermarket parts to confirm they still manufacture these, but you have to be a Dealer / Workshop with an account to access this info, cannot register as a private individual it seems. Good luck, I will follow this , as I may have to replace my cracked VDO unit also.! Cheeers.
