The V5 should state the first owner / keeper? I doubt you'll get any info via MK

Looks nice, HNV is a Bedford / Milton Keynes Reg so maybe a press car or registered to VW head office? Other than that I don't think I've seen it before? I can't remember the reg of my own cars let alone anybody elses lol

RADIATOR TO FIT VOLKSWAGEN CORRADO 1991 TO 1995 2.9 VR6 PETROL | eBay

Ignore this post

They're not all like that, ours now and previous are superb

If 118kw is at the wheels the above indicates a 32bhp loss over standard due to transmission losses which is about right

Kilowatts (kW) to BHP conversion calculator (rapidtables.com) IMO you shouldn't leave a professional evaluation more confused than before you took their advice?

I'm no expert, but Dave Walker at Emerald is:- EmeraldM3D.com - Rolling Road How Rolling Roads Work Before we consider how a rolling road measures power output, it helps to understand what we are measuring. We often talk about bhp (brake horse power) as if it was something that existed, rather than the reality of it being a convenient number - which we have calculated. Bhp is a rate of doing work and in order to do work you need to put in some effort and then you need to see a result for that effort. The effort is, in our case, the torque generated by the engine. The result is the distance moved by the flywheel (expressed in rpm). The simple formula for calculating bhp is based on 33,000ft lbs of work being done in one minute. This amount of work is regarded as one horsepower. The formula is: HP = Torque x rpm over 5252. From this you can see that when the rpm is at 5252 the HP and the torque are the same. If the power and torque lines do not cross here on the graph then someone is telling you porkies! We use the term "Brake" horsepower because the engine torque is measured on a device called an Engine Brake, or dynamometer as it is more correctly known. Dyno's measure torque at a given rpm and then we calculate the bhp from there. With an engine bolted to a dynamometer we take the torque reading directly from the flywheel and without any form of gearbox.

Also fit MK2, MK3, MK4, Octavia, Leon, A3 etc

Thanks, I’ve always suspected lots of running problems are due to wiring issues, if headlights are affected by voltage drop then engine / ecu must also?

Sounds interesting, how accurate is the reading with ambient temp after being parked overnight (engine cold)?

NO RESERVE! - 1992 VW Corrado G60 For Sale By Auction | Car and Classic

Banned from the classifieds and pms for refusing to pay a contribution to the running costs as he was a “breaker”. Placed wanted ads for sought after items stating “ No inflated prices”. He did honour all of his sales even after the ban. At the time subs for a breaker was £20 per year, so not a huge fee, most paid up even if they only broke their own car before leaving the community. He is still a member here, rarely if ever posts

He also has a bargainous set of black painted Speedline centres for £120 if you're quick

Worth mentioning that used on a 16V these complete with 280mm 4 stud disks make the much sought after G60 set up

I've PM'd pics torque settings from Bentley and Haynes for MK4. Bentley get touchy about reproducing their images, Haynes less so

I was going to use an old disk off a breaker and do a dry fit to see if my theory is correct (I already have a ne pair of MK3s). The write up looks good, those 280s look in vgc and would sell easily to recoup some of your outlay?

MK4 Golf 288s callipers and carriers are identical to MK3, both newer and more plentiful, 1.8T, 1.9tdi PD 130 and 150 bhp. Golf, Bora, Octavia, Leon, Toledo, A3 (TTs all have 312mm fronts) I'm going to try MK4 288mm disks (the offset differs to the MK3) and 6mm spacers (often used for the 312mm conversion) to see if they give better clearance.

Check the plug for corrosion, windscreen leaks leave the ecu vulnerable to water ingress. ECU is common, suffix E has a crude version of traction control, the whole set up was also fitted to early MK3s with rectangular wing mounted side repeaters, the ecu on MK3s lives under the rear seats in the dry. Expect to pay around £30.

Manufacturers want you to believe their product is so good temp never differs Artic to Sierra.. You could put a 2 way switch and measure both oil and water temp with the gauge?

I had a conversation with someone in design at LR who confirmed what you say above re manufacturers fixing temps at 90 degrees until the point of boiling over. I’ve witnessed this in one of my own cars that went fro 90 - 130 instantly as it puked pink coolant all over a traffic jammed multi storey car park one summer. I’m not sure how relevant this is to Corrados but mk4s definitely have this strategy From the factory.

The higher the ET the further into the arch, 43 will be closer to the strut than 35
