    No rear breaks.

    If you have front brakes it can't be the master cylinder. Is the car jacked up on stands? If so the load compensator will reduce the pressure to the rear brakes. You need to replicate the rear suspension under load of passengers to fully open the compensator valve.
  2. You wouldn't be the first to grind the calliper for clearance purposes.
  3. MK2 Golf / Jetta, MK3 Golf / Vento, Passats with transverse engines of the same era. One rear brake!
  4. For sale 1.8T AUM (drive by wire) engine, ancils, loom, revo'd ecu forge DV, G60 flywheel, starter, front mount. This engine has done 160K in a Skoda Octavia L & K estate, the previous owner commuted from Cannock to Derby daily, serviced every 10K on the dot, no oil leaks (the PAS pump did mist a little around its mounting), no coolant leaks or losses. I drove the car for 14K miles before I broke it, no sweat. Its due a cambelt and water pump. Offers around £400 Options include; The original EVS gearbox - known all good A MK3 GTI 16V gearbox - bought off another forum A G60 engine loom (so that you could sort the loom plug and play for a faster change over reducing downtime) If no interest in the next 7 days I'll begin to part out the above. Thanks

    Tidy 16v

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1993-VOLKSWAGEN-CORRADO-16V-BLACK-/200969982575?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2ecabe926f Relisted due to a timewaster..........................
  7. If you have a weak spark on all 6 plugs it suggests, poor coil performance - clean the 12V pos and neg connections, poor king lead (the lead between the coil and dizzy cap) check for security and corrosion of the ends, dizzy cap and rotor arm. I'd also make sure the battery connections are spotlessly clean and the battery - body - engine and gearbox earth points are spotless too. A few volts lost in the wiring will mean several 1000 volts lost at the coil, when cranking this will fall dramatically due to the power needed from the battery to crank over the V6 engine.
  8. Find out what's missing when the car is a non start, spark at the plugs, fuel being injected or both. Disconnect one of the spark plug leads and plug a spare spark plug into it, check for a spark when cranking the engine over whilst holding the plug against the engine block using insulated pliers and wearing gloves. Remove the plug from the engine and check to see if its wet with fuel. What was missing?
  9. Now on ebay? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Schrick-VR6-Variable-Inlet-Manifold-Complete-Kit-OBD1-Golf-Corrado-/321218832425?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4aca226829 Free bump :)
  10. Ill get it out of the loft tomorrow and text you.
  11. I can leave the coil in a safe place for you to collect even if im not around.
  12. Im about a mile from stapeley, i have a spare used but untested by me coil pack
  13. Does the car need a full respray or just the panels quoted?

    bonnet cable CLIP now!

    The trumpets and the clamps are separates pieces on the audi, it may be a workable solution though?

    Do you have a pic? I've just broken an Audi 80 cab, it has a cable set up with trumpet like pieces, as the 80 cab was still sold until 2001 you may be able to get them from audi?

    Corrado 4x4

    I'm sure this car has been up for sale at least twice previously in the last 12 months or so for £7K? I saw it when it was first listed this time and thought £7K straight away............ http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=80885 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-N-Reg-VW-Corrado-All-4-Wheel-Drive-20VT-Turbo-Syncro-Golf-Rallye-/190834970567?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2c6ea68fc7&clk_rvr_id=523714911276

  20. You should be measuring the centre of the centre cap of the wheel to the top of the arch.
