Do you know an engineer or machine shop that could machine them for you?

You'll need a calliper wind back tool too if you don't have one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-NEW-BRAKE-CALIPER-PISTON-REWIND-WIND-BACK-TOOL-KIT-22-34-PIECES-SET-/360643337387?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item53f8049cab I've used the above on MK4, Corrado and T5 so far and its worked well - you may find the same kit cheaper if you search ebay

Correct http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Volkswagen_Corrado_2.9_1994/p/car-parts/brakes/brake-friction/brake-disc/?104441738&1&886df1a2c6761d84d6b99e900591012b7888bdd7&000027

I have a 24mm M/C but don't want to change the servo due to its position sensor being needed for the ABS, I'd like shorter pedal travel if possible which will give better position for foot / lower leg to apply more pressure that's needed. My T5 has just had new brakes all around and its like throwing an anchor out of the back, compare this with the C and its night and day different. I want to keep it standard looking with speedos. I have a 288mm set up waiting in the wings too. The C is insured for commuting this year so will get more use than in previous years forcing me to sort the niggles I've put up with since I bought it (ABS light woes, occasional stalling etc ie typical C traits).

I beleive Fiat coupe non turbo 284mm disks are what you need for 4 stud fitment of 288mm calipers and carriers. I've not done this myself, just read it on CGTi forum I've searched ECP for the disks and I put this up so you can use it for the dimensions for comparrison, I've not done the conversion so accept no responsibillity if they are wrong and ECP wont allow you to return them. http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Fiat_Coupe_2.0_1998/p/car-parts/brakes/brake-friction/brake-disc/?104580078&1&a1e6673ce77b12fb76bda6842a8bd21c7e49110c&000027

229mm from memory

Front or rear he'll need conversion hoses too. I'm just fitting some rear Ferrodo pads I bought from you a few years ago Jim together with Bradi disks I bought from VagHag.

Mine puts the abs light on if the battery is a little down on power or a jump started, if the lights off at the time of the test its a pass. Mine also prefers a warm engine bay for some reason? I've swapped the pump for a different part number but its too early to declare it fixed as I've been there before several times - disturbing wiring plugs / relays etc seems to temporarily fix the fault only for it to return days or weeks later............

Demon tweeks sell the bits, not cheap though http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/brake-master-cylinders-reservoirs Would remotly mounting the reservoir allow the fitting of a larger diameter master cylinder to the VR6? http://www.europaspares.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=reservoir

Ive recently fitted A pump bought off here 2 years ago that has 6 inlet / outlet connections as the original but has a different part number to the original, numbers are similar to those you quote its early days but looks promissing. O can check part numbers for you over the weekend.

The ABS issue has been better than its ever been since I bought the car 4.5 years ago, but the light did reappear once tonight on the move (wheel sensor maybe - I've not had time to scan the car), it does go out when started providing the battery is good (I've had battery issues again and the ABS light because of it), the battery has now been replaced and I've done 100 miles today stop starting 10+ times.

The cams slots being in line to receive the locking plate mean nothing if number ones piston is not at TDC at the same time.

All Corrados are OBD1 as they left the factory, early OBD1 were dizzy ignition, late OBD1 with coil pack. MK3 Golf early were OBD1 dizzy ignition, later OBD1 with coil pack ignition, the last of the MK3s have OBD2 and have the idle valve built into the throttlebody which has a different fitting to the manifold. OBD2 manifolds wont fit OBD1 throttle bodies and vise versa

With number 1 piston at top dead centre TDC the cam lobes on that cylinder should be opposing one another (mirror image)and the valves closed, bare in mind the crank does 2 rotations for every one of the cams. Dont compare lobes on different cylinders.

Post a pic of your throttlebody. Corrados left the factory as obd1

The number on the barcode looks like the supplier number, you're quoting the VAG part number, they may be one and the same? How does the pump fit in the bottom of your tank?

I have a G60 tank free to collector from Cheshire This is the pump connection at the bottom of the tank, others may be able to advise if its suitable

Has it sat outside all winter with no antifreeze in?

whos diagnosed a headgasket failure? Have you been running the car all this time?

Have stealth done a dyno video yet?

Looks a nice one. I think I'd have used the login name Mungo, then your build thread could have been Mungo and Midge (number plate), who else is as old as me and remembers a kids classic?

Its only for radio supression reasons isn't it?
