i will ask my friend who has the camper van hire business as im sure he knows a very good one

me too but there are people who have changed switches, motors, cables, cartridges, looms & wiring - all to which the issue has persisted i wonder if its worth getting an auto electrician to do some testing

a good discussion about best options to get us all out of our shared sunroof woe's lol

ha ha ha the plot thickens lol

it does indeed make sense sean thanks just to recap: use a MK3 golf sunroof if leave the moonroof panel it is a straight swap fit - is the moonroof panel the same outline as the rado one then im guessing? if want rado metal lid need to swap the sliders (i have a feeling one of mine is broken on the VR) does the mk3 golf use the standard late rado sunroof motor?

sorry sean, you say you cant use the golf cartridge but then said you used a golf one as a donor - which model pls m8 interesting that the issue persists though, i may just make my interior light cover cut out look better & stick to my 'manual' mod lol

i see. ok thanks Jamie thinki will go through the history folder to see if i can find anything about the new cartridge. i did inspect the channels a few weeks ago & couldn't really see much of the grey scoring that happens as it wears that ive seen mentioned

tidy thanks the one in the VR is an odd fella though as im sure they guy i brought it off got impatient with his mechanic fixing the sunroof & had a brand new cartridge from VW not long before i brought the car off him would i need to change anything else for the golf mk111 to work? eg the motor. or is it a case of remove the old cartridge, swap the metal lid onto the golf cartridge & then reinstall? ive been putting off venturing to fix them as id heard they are a bugger to refit. the Bentley manual has alsorts about a mm drop here & not there etc lol

thanks for the input Jamie when you say MK111 golf mech do you mean the sunroof cartridge itself but then swapping over the original rado top panel? i might need 3 of the buggers if so lol

the house refurb is taking most of my time lately & though i had planned to do some jobs on the rado's during my week off i hadn't anticipated it taking me 4 days to cut my hedges i did get my G11 & G12 & scuffmaster dye from the Glyptone outlet the other week & have made a start on refurb'ing the VR steering wheel from VAG-hag. i couldn't believe the amount of dirt that the cleaner got out of it as it looked very decent indeed prior to starting on it i will put some pics up if i manage to progress it any this week on the note of steering wheels......winner winner chicken dinner ive just managed to get a brand new early style steering wheel from someone on the Corrado Chat facebook page for a steal. just hope it arrives now as i must say im a tad anxious about sending some random from FB a paypal payment but hey ho it will be great as long as it does

good work Jim well done wrestling the engine back in on your own

sounds like some good testing completed m8 id be interested to hear if you find the issue as the sunroof in my VR also works both slide & tilt but sometimes when i press the button nothing happens. then you get back in the car after 2 minutes & it works regreasing with the correct silicone stuff made no difference but ive not tried a new switch as it does work but only when it wants to lol ive made a mod so as i have an easy 'manual' operation for when it doesn't play ball......i cut a small hole in the plastic light cover so i can access the allen key winder ;)

welcome lets see the purchase :)

not heard of those, duly noted thanks

yeah a cracker that love those wheels too!! are they ronal turbo's?

Jim it was sublime! A proper old skool oil / fuel / heat kinda smell it gave me a twitch i can tell thee lol

This turned up in our car park today... it was still warm when i walked out to have a look & all i can say is WOW the smell was just awesome. i wish i could have captured it to go with the pics below

thanks rob im in the VR today so will take a look at the valver over the weekend. appreciate you removing yours & letting me know about the side clips

tidy! sounds excellent i went the dam with the gf for her 40th in feb this year & going in april next year for my 40th - love the place & the country nice to hear the motor ran well & that it still performs with that extra added weight

i saw this yesterday & im even more inquisitive now got what?

cracking little video too, love the drone footage :D what event was it m8? might have to try & do that next year

nice pics EJ how did you get on during the trip?

yeah i had a quick look after reading your previous post rob a couple on there around £50

good info thanks Mike ive just popped outside of work for a quick look & i think it must be secured somewhere as you say because it didn't want to move, i was however very gentle as i don't want to break a tape slot i will try the wiggle & torch on my next attempt

ha ha id just typed my last reply lol ok thanks rob i will proceed with caution i wonder if any of the cassette trays remove to give fitting access
