    confused

    Hi, the forum is now subscription in most areas, hence why you can’t post anywhere but here. Very few cars sell here tbh as we already have one lol. If you put it on eBay post a link here

    dash speakers

    Most modern cars sound good? They alway have separates, tweeters in the dash or mirror housings? if you have a stereo at home try moving the speakers to point at the side walls, 90 degrees from the side walls and lastly pointed at your ears. my mrs dad is into his classic hifi, stands full of sand, spikes in the floor etc he sits in the chair, dead centre speakers aimed at his ears.

    It mean high (directional) frequencies will be aimed between your knee and your ankle.

    ISV/IAC valve

    RAC guy gave a tip a few days ago for finding inlet leaks, use a gas torch unlit around seals, gaskets, breathers etc if engine revs increase you’ve found a leak. Were adults and take reasonable precautions, do it out side in small bursts away from arcing plug leads etc If in any doubt don’t do it!

  6. I've seen bushes that literally fall through wishbones being slightly undersize causing a knock on a neighbours A3. Toby can have issues with people reproducing diagrams from manuals (not naming names as their searches look for such names).
  7. 288s will have the clip into the piston. The carriers hold the pads, were thes refurbed / new?
  8. The spring thingy is fitted to the outside of the caliper?

    dash speakers

    Pros usually use mdf and body filler. There may be better solutions these day

    dash speakers

    I can't remember if it was my MK2 or MK3, I ripped the cones from the speakers and fitted tweeters to the remaining baskets using silicon. You could use a gluegun and experement angling the tweeter towards the driver whilst trial fitting the grills. You can use the screen to bounce the sound towards you, high frequencies are directional, mid and bass less so. Mine were MB Quarts, but below is a similar tweeter set up for example. TP-005A Car Dome Tweeter 500W 4Ohm Speaker High Frequency Audio Loudspeaker | eBay You'll get better performance from the mids if you bolt them to the door itself rather than the flimsy doorcard which wont cut off the out of phase (noise cancelling) frequencies from the rear.
  11. Re dremel, you need to cover the tank from sparks , sounds obvious/ condescending, but better safe than sorry
  12. I’d only replace the one from the pump to the engine, the other is the return and is not under pressure

    Electric windows

    Sorry, I missed that. I’ve a pair of croc clips (ex battery charger), in-line fuse and the two common sizes of female spade connectors, I power up many things with them to test off the car. A worthwhile addition to any workshop and free

    Electric windows

    The motor has 2 connections, I suggest before you remove the whole assembly you apply 12v directly to it to se if you actually need to remove it.
  15. Sean lists A, B, C in his for sale post. On a different note, how many times have you had to brake hard watching the spoiler raise / lower in the rear view mirror lol
  16. You could be right, but its the speed at which the spoliler lifts that the suffix of the part number denotes, all should work - plug and play?
  17. Check out ebay, I've just bought Uniroyal rainsport 5 for my Audi A2 via Demontweeks, different size, but so far in the dry they're great

  19. Welcome, there are two modules because there are 2 different speeds that the spoiler lifts at, UK spec is the lower of the 2 speeds I believe?
  20. He does how to videos on YouTube for corrado fixes. it’s worth watching even if you don’t always agree with the content https://youtube.com/user/harpersteven
  21. 1987 Audi Quattro UR For Sale By Auction (carandclassic.com)
  22. My situation is exactly the same, all be it 6 years ago and the car remains in the garage. What I have found that some cars "fit" me much better than others, MK4 Golf and the Corrado, so I'll just keep the Corrado until the day I can't physically drive it (55 and already have arthritis in both wrists and thumbs, knees and hips not too far behind) I'll widen the drive before the car goes.... At a local coffee and car meet I totally ignore the Maclarens, Lambos, new Porsches and head for the older stuff and 80s, 90s German stuff with the odd brit car thrown in, basically I'm in my own time warp. The Corrado is staying.
  23. Seller would want to maximise his sale, buyer would want some surety of condition for that kind of money - farmers are incredably tight with their money? I'd be shockedif it sold without an MOT
  24. V5 issued after MOT expired, I'd say the owner changed address, who'd buy / sell with no mot?
