Welcome fellow clayhead :)

Thank you

A lazy employee rather than shop stock though http://garagewire.co.uk/news/halfords-autocentre-fined-47000-following-undercover-sting/

That's the blueprint for any big retailer. Here's a question for you, I'm looking to recover the front headlining in my T5 van, I need something that will stretch around the console in the roof, but want an alcantara type material rather than stretch carpet, any advice?

Stock in Wrexham, Stafford, Inverurie only

I'll watch it, got to be better than Downton Abbey?

Ordered, thank you

Any plans to have more of these made please? Mine failed at the weekend, I've fitted a used replacement for now.

If I was going to do this (and I'm not - I don't drink in the car) I'd want to cover the diagnostic port under the gaitor surround to keep fluids out of it. Nice and neat, very well done

MK4 rear is actually a 2 cup holder, the console is early Corrado, I've no idea how much room there is behind the console for anything that will hang out of the back? MK4 front cup holder in the cubby hole HTH

I suspect a single MK4 Golf cup holder (from the rear of the console) will also be a goer too and be more readilly available too

Clear them, drive the car, stop and start it several times and rescan for codes without messing with anything

Early MK3 Gtis with the square side repeaters have the same set up (ECU is under the rear seats on the Golf should others need one) so may help widen your search. Or you can repair the soldered joints yourself by removing the sealant and reseal afterwards. I'm having these difficulties too at the moment http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?91372-ABS-pedal-sensor-repair-how-to-anywhere&p=1076642#post1076642

In the first place, not to break....

I agree totally, these are quite simple cars to work on compared with modern stuff, every day is a school day and what you learn today you'll benefit from another day. A good way of learning is to take something apart that doesn't matter if you dont put it back together again, I'd recommend buying a car to break it for spares for this reason. This is the type of car you should have bought http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?90370-Corrado-VR6-Satin-silver

Vvt will be either advanced or retarded, there's no in between other than the time it takes them to move, it's controlled by solenoids on the side of the head opening and closing Feeding oil to galleries onto the vvt sprockets.

If the bores were heavily scored from media debris then the car would burn huge amounts of oil. What fuel do you run the car on?

Mine appears to have a grey foam tape holding it in? Do you just pull to remove it?

Well I've found my spare sensor and it has been opened like you say What holds the sensor in the servo?

I've got a spare, but can't find it when I need it, is there an online guide to repair the pedal sensors dry solder joints? TIA

I presume the car is not being used for 2 weeks at a time? You could try a solar charger clipped to a sun visor if the car sits for several weeks without use?
