Hi all
Just bought my first Corrado - 1.8 16v. Fairly confident in the general condition of the car, apart from a few niggles which I could do with some help on! Am very wary of taking it to a garage just yet as I would like to find someone knowledgeable that I can trust. Being a female, I am obviously viewed as mechanically vegetated.
First off - I have slight problems with the gearbox which I understand are pretty common on old C's/VW's - v difficult to find 2nd, and 1st (on occasion). Am happy to take the cover off and have a play with the synchro etc, should this help to make for a smoother gear change?
Have a badly leaking sunroof, as discovered when first washed this weekend. Any easy fixes to the seals??
Finally, have windscreen wipers with a comedy mind of their own. Assume that the connectors in the sleeve are too close together, as they come on of their own accord (complete with sound of straining water jets) and switch off (eventually) with a couple of pushes of the arm. Is this something anyone else has come across, and can I fix it by pulling the connectors apart slightly??
Finally - does anyone know of a good garage in the Bristol area??!
Thanks all!!
