spotted 4 in week :clap: a geeen vr6 oldish man going down east bracklesham drive.totaly standard on tuesday a black g60 i think, lowered and on a set of deep dish 15inch wheels looked and sounded great in the same place as above a white 16v looking sorry for its self out side mobys fish and chip shop in bracklsham. followed a grey not, sure what flavor into selsey on wedensday. flashed and waved at you all but no response :eek:

was nice to see a corrado racing in the vw cup on channel 4 this morning,even though it didnt win it was giving it its best shot. :clap:

well i fixed this today,the spring had jumped out of the cup.only problem is now it pulls towards the right quite badly,the steering wheel is about a 1/3 off center and i have not a clue why?? any input would be appreciated.

hi all put my raddo in for a mot today and it failed not on much just a new wiper,flexi brake hose, and suspension. my question is on the suspension.it failed on and i qoute,offside front coil spring not correctley located? what does this mean? how has it happened and why? the mot guy did not have a clue :confused4: . cheers dave

well i gave her a polish today,fixed the window,fixed the switches now just need to fix the sunroof :(climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfPhoto029.jpg[/attachment:3n65l3w0]2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfPhoto030.jpg[/attachment:3n65l3w0]Photo027.jpg[/attachment:3n65l3w0]

lost my temper and just pulled them off. the speedo had a very fine spring which uncoiled itself an snapped, :epicfail: the rev counter still sits on the spline but does not move. i am guessing i need a new cluster in reality.and i think i will let the pros fit the dials. :ignore:

i brought some lockwood dials for my vr6,easy fit it said should take no longer than 30mins :bad-words: well in my anger i managed to rip the speedo needle and rev counter needle off,neadless to say they no longer work :( anyway can this be fixed or do i need to buy a new cluster??? :cuckoo: cheers dave

going to drive down to winchester have a few beers and a bite to eat with some fellow rado owners. :wave:

new dizzy cap,leads,fuel filter,rota arm and gearbox mount.runs sweet as and returning 30+mpg. better than the 20-22mpg i was getting :lol:

put anew set of plugs in. now need a new dizzy cap,leads,and rota arm :( was not firing at all on the 3rd cylinder,6,4 were white near detonation,1,2,5 were fine :cuckoo: no wonder it was going nowhere fast :censored:

hi all just after a bit of advise on my vr6,i will explain the best i can :sleeping: after a fast run when i let the revs down and boot it again i some times get a puff of black smoke,this only happens when i have given a full 7k on the rev counter,under normal to moderate driving it does not happen. there is a load of black soot in the end of the exhaust and a strong smell of petrol. any idears what this could be? thanks dave

put new prada 2s all round and fitted a new super chip :luvlove: pleased with the results, not happy about my empty wallet.

very nice,lot of work gone into that.

thanks for the comments.got some leather seats for the front which will make it look nice. still have 1 slight problem,i have replaced the rear bushes,top mounts ect ,but i get a slight rubbing on the rear ofside arch when i go round a right handed bend,its just catching the tyre,damm anoying when your giving it some round the twisty stuff.its fine in straight line and uneven roads. :shrug: :help:

thought i post up some pics of my vr6ETKA Corrado.pdfPhoto0161.jpg[/attachment:2j4owqgi]stromlaufplan_gamma4.pdfPhoto0162.jpg[/attachment:2j4owqgi]Corrado92.pdfPhoto0163.jpg[/attachment:2j4owqgi]passat climatronic wiring diags.pdfPhoto0164.jpg[/attachment:2j4owqgi]climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfPhoto0165.jpg[/attachment:2j4owqgi]2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfPhoto0166.jpg[/attachment:2j4owqgi]Photo0167.jpg[/attachment:2j4owqgi]

would do but i dont have the space to store it. what about the front door cards,are they a no go? :shrug:

thanks for the quick answer.think i will just leave rear bench then.

hi all just had a wicked result got myself a complete leather interior out a golf mk4 vr6.can i use the door cards,rear bench ect. got till monday to strip it out before it goes to scrap yard. will it be easy to fit? do i need the runners/subframes? or just the seats? thanks dave

well 5mm spacers fitted,sorted the rubbing,spring cups are to big,so put them up a notch.fitted new rear bushes. much more planted now. just the wheels to go now and a slight bit of body work(faded ) bitch of a colour to match (red) and iam sorted. the look on the porsche drivers face priceless!!!!!!!!

i get the rubbing all the time.have ordered some 5mm spacers,hopefully this will solve the problem.
