TexasCorradoVR6

wow! take em both!!! :D

Armrests never came on Corrado's in the US or elsewhere, and the one in the picture is a Jetta IV armrest. The lines are too smooth to be an old A2! :? Bloody great conversion though! :lol: you could look on ebay or a parted out jetta Will

same thing happened to mine. my C had a custom sunroof installed (apparently its bigger than the passats!) but the stripping on the outer edges (where the glass and the roof meets) had been worn down, and had made a gap. Water was just flooding down there! It runs down through a small duct and there's a hole where (im guessing yours) just runs down to the foot well. Mine soaked up the headliner on the drivers side, dumped that in turn on the drivers seat, and trickled onto the floor :mad: (i live in houston(if you saw the rain on the news!!!)) But try checking the weather stripping on your sunroof and gaps and all that. Also try your A/C Will

I've heard that the turbo is very hard on older engines, probably over 100k, and really doesn't get complete traction until third gear! Plus you've got turbo lag. I think the supercharger would be the way to go, but a VR6T does sound awfully good! Will

I had the alternator readings checked at an NTB (battery place in the US) and he said everything was A OK. Becuase my rado was eating batteries like they were going out of fashon, it turned out to be my secondary water pump that was sucking it dry, so i disconnected the secondary pump ( i won't need it again till summer). The electrics might be to blame for this as well, but as far as where to start on the whole thing, i don't have a clue! oh, and it revs well over 13-14 ish! :twisted: Will

I don't know if they recalled the ignition in the UK, but there is a recall for the US Corrado's for the ignition, they'll replace the whole kit n' kaboodle for free! Along with this recall is the heater core (this i found out after my C decided to puke antifreeze INSIDE my passenger foot well :oops: !) give VW a ring, see if the recall stands in the UK Will

Gavin - how do you take out the quages to replace the lights? Will

howdy chaps! My VR6 has just bust an electrical nut! My drivers side headlight blew ( i checked the connection and the female part of the wire plug in is toast :cry: ) My gauge lights have systematically blown from tach to fuel gauge! (tach is almost impossible to see at night) and my MFA is completely messed up! :mad: Does anyone have INTRICATE maps of wiring diagrams for these areas? The Bentley book's rather confusing. If anyone has anyother ideas, feel free to shoot! :shock: Will

It's still in the making. i might just do the VR6 DOHC thing on the Engine cover, looks easier, but if more people want a 16v one or G60 i'll do it. thanks for the feed back, i'll keep y'all posted! :D Will

Im gonna print this logo on a T Shirt, i haven't decided what colour, i'll probably do a few colours. I dunno how many, any input? :wink: Will (i can do different engines on it, i now you guys have 2.9's :cry: but i could do a G60)

thanks a lot chuck. just what i needed, its definitely the info i needed. love the pics, it looks real clean! 8) cheers Will

Does anyone know how to do a shaved door handle conversion? :? My door handles both bit the dust, so i was entertaining the thought of getting shaved door handles 8) Pics, estimates, info, anything, cheers everyone! Will

I own a 92 VR6 and the climate controls are sliders instead of dials (like the 93 and up) has anyone changed theirs from sliders to dials? or know how? cheers! Will

Props again jimbo, lookin clean as hell dude! :lol: Those taillights are the icing on the cake, very nice. the blue lights on the interior are spot on too! 8) Will

I think I'll give it a try on mine :lol: thanks for the tip Will

hey that might have been my car, the guy i got it from lives in Houston, and he lived in Houston 2 years ago!!! whatta ya know! cool 8)

when i got my corrado the carpet on the passenger side got ripped out (who knows why :x ) and i got antifreeze all over the drivers side (yeah before the Heater Core recall replacement :cry: ) so my carpet needs some serious help. does anyone know what kind of carpet i can use and whether i can get 'Corrado carpet'? thanks Will

My friend's Rado had a shot serpentine belt casing thingy (the casing in what the serpentine belt) and that cost him $2500 dollars to replace from VW! just thought youd like to know! Will

Saw a Green VR6 going down Queenston, i live in Texas so the guy driving is never gonna read this!!! I wish I could be spotted :cry: !

As soon as i get my hands on a set and tyres, i'll put my pics up!! :D I think i'll go with the 205's! :twisted: Will

My MFA completely doesn't work, apart from the time. Does anyone know why? Will

No- fitting the longbeaches on would be with a 1" drop. Eibachs, whatever. So would the 205's still fit the longbeaches with the drop? Will thanks for all the advice

The Long Beaches being the factory 17" wheels for the Jetta (01 and up i think) The Jettas run on 215tires, but Rados run on 205s? Can you fit them on Corrados, or has anyone tryed? thanks Will

Good advice G60! thanx! finding someone parting out a rado, let alone in Canada will be hard! Will

Yeah, funnily enough european lights are surprisingly euro spec! *brain fart*! so G60- do you have the automatic seat belts or manual, i want to put in a set on manual ones on mine, i don't know where to look for them though?! :( Will
