Not working for me

Whereabouts are you? Maybe someone local could take a look for you and advise you better?

Sooner or later you're going to have to spend money. What are you trying to achieve, get it running then sell or a resto for yourself?

The first thing I'd do is get the dash light working as it should, then you can see if the abs is disabled when the wheel locking occurs

If water was inside the servo it will still be there, the point I was making was a faulty servo could hold the brakes on (not that your servo was actually full of water like B5 Passats). It sounds rather dangerous, I'd be tempted to leave the glovebox out so you can pull the fuses if needed. Is the light still on the dash all the time?

Take the cam cover off and remove the cam, a stuck Valve will be easy to spot. You can do a proper compression test without risking Valve damage as all valves will be closed and there's no chance of shredding teeth on the aging belt.

First of all the ABS pumps job is to release a locked brake, not lock them on. I'd look at the brake servo, I've heard of passats filling up with rain water from blocked scuttle drains and locking on the brakes. Scan, then clear codes. Drive the car then rescan for current faults. ABS fuses and relays are behind the glovebox, check they're clean of corrosion. ECU is in the passenger footwell behind a panel next to their left ankle, again check for corrosion on its multiplug. EDIT, if the light is on the dash the ABS is disabled, if the brakes still lock on its definitely nothing to do with ABS its mechanical

If you jack up the car the axle will drop so you'll need to open up the compensator (use a cable tie or similar) to bleed them

I agree, I have a pair from a 90 G60 as spares and they are better than both my late VRs. That said environment (freezing Highlands, to southern coastal habitats and everything inbetween) as well as various chemicals used to wash the cars will also have an effect.

Before they remanufacture anything they ask here for good OE spare to copy, therefore I doubt original tooling? Then there's the plastic mix chosen, again a non OE mix who's long term durability will be an unknown quantity. Its still good news for the Corrado community though, better an alternative than nothing.

They too will be replicas? There will be plenty of volunteers for a free set to test fit that's for sure lol

The next time you go for an MOT put some weight in the boot to give more rear bias, the valve should free up with use, speed bumps will exercise it for you

You can jump above me, they only make you paranoid, purchasing batteries, alternators, oil pumps and engine rebuilds. Tape storage units come without such worries.

He's not French? Mockney innit

It is, it also stops noise. I meant the whole pump and swirl pot?

The frustrating part is people have thrown away the swirl pot when their pump failed. I wonder if a MK4 / TT pump would fit?

I agree, but there are some "bad boys" amongst us who are buying to resell at large profits on ebay. I spotted one that had a current ebay listing for an ABV inlet who placed a wanted ad here stating "no silly prices!" the exactly the same part.

You need a 2.8 Golf manifold then

It looks like dragon green to me? So LC6P if I'm correct

I can't find an image, from memory its the OSF corner that catches, once fitted if you close the bonnet slowly and use a torch you'll see where its about to catch. Open the bonnet and put some blutack on that corner then some emulsion paint blobbed on top of that before lowering gently again you'll put a mark exactly where it catches on the framework.
