Glad to see that you are still enjoying it Ian. I always found the rear brakes squeaked but it didn't bother me, probably just need cleaning etc. The front wishbones had new bushes all around plus track rod ends so might be worth checking the top mounts and bearings? With regards to the oil leak, I recently had one on mine and it turned out to be coming from one of the oil pressure switches so perhaps clean up and check around there as I can't imagine that genuine VW seals would have failed in the Oil Cooler already? My replacement clicked over 225K last month and is still going strong but as always they can tax your patience at times! Hope you find a new job soon. Ian.

Who said true romance (even if it Corrado based) is dead?????????

According to Vagcat the 24V Sump uses a M6 x 20 Allen Key Head Bolt. Ian.

It is the N/S (Passenger side) one in particular but would perhaps be interested in having both off you. Ian.

Think I've cracked one of mine now so interested please in the fog lights if you do find them? Ian.

Brings back memories, a few years ago I used to travel most weekends from Ringwood to Gloucester passing via Fordingbridge! Ian.

Are they genuine VW wishbones from a VR6 Dan? If yes, how much posted? Ian.

I have an early foglight but not sure, without checking, which side it is? Ian.

Hopefully post Xmas, as discussed, that can be arranged? Ian.

Mine's a 1994 model and also has a Red Cap. Ian.

Thanks for the kind words from yourself and Adrian, it was nice to meet you both and everybody else who popped by the stand - The general reaction was very positive to the cars plus the position was good with both MK1 Golfs behind us and Scirocco's to the side! Ian.

The MK4 Golf one is what I have fitted, which is higher C.R. so hopefully slightly more power - Only slight disadvantage is that you must use good quality higher octane fuel! Ian.

Mine will be there too! Ian.

Watching it on E Bay, if the lottery numbers come in tonight?????????????????? Ian.

There are some good S/H ones on E Bay currently or this seller in Germany used to/may still do them on an exchange basis: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Lederlenkrad-Lenkrad-VW-Golf-3-VR6-GTI-Passat-Corrado-r-/140535782747?ssPageName=ADME:L:EOISSA:DE:1123 Ian.

Tempted to make a silly low offer for them whilst also pointing out that they are available from Classic Parts for about 2/3rds of his asking price? Ian.

Happy (belated?) Birthday Rob! Ian.

Get to Maplins, gotta be worth a tenner? - http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/maplin-automotive-digital-multimeter-with-inductive-pickup-n58fu Ian.

Yes you can, see: http://myquickfix.co.uk/2013/12/replacing-the-blue-coolant-temperature-sensor-in-the-golf-vr6-mk3/

The Blue Temp Sensor, as far as I understand it, controls the fuelling via the ECU - Normally if they are shot you have problems starting the engine when it is hot. Have you hooked it up to Vagcom Jim? Ian.

I'm not sure of the exact name of it but there is a "bellows" type valve on the throttle body that can be adjusted, maybe a previous owner has tinkered with it to hide an ISV or similar fault? Ian.

I still keep getting 'phone calls + texts about an accident that was settled over 3 years ago, very frustrating! Ian.

When mine went recently I replaced it with a Golf V5 one, has made an amazing difference in turning the engine over! Ian.

I believe it belongs to liam_raddo off the forum? Ian.

You are right, it was limited on what you could diagnose compared to the VR6. Ian.
