Well....hard to say, definatley enjoying it, 1st thing that struck mw was that i felt right at home within a mile of leaving the forecourt, have only driven hire cars in the last couple of years when ive been home for a week or too and its taken me an hour or so before i've felt comfortable behind the wheel. I've had a mk1 gti, a few mk2's 1.6's 1.8's and gti's a mk2 polo and a mk3 vr6 and the rado feels like a mk2 in the way its drives and feels like a mk3 from the seat, although can definatetly feel the weight difference from a mk2, doesn't feel overly heavy and balance feels quite good but can definately feel a bit heavier, but my driving style had matured over the years and i don't want something to race absolutely eveywhere, think thats what i loved about the mk1, just felt like a go kart, rado feels bit more of a crusier but has the ability to take for a kane when in the mood, And i love the grunt of the thing and the noise is awesome, plus the spoiler makes me smile everytime u opener up and it raises and that, i know its a little thing but i dunno just think its a cool little thing that suits the rado anyway thats enough ramblin from me tonite, best get to bed, sooner i sleep, sooner i wake up and can go for another play and start gettin her back to former glory :) cheers mart -
Hi all, Have today purchased me 1st rado, most of my cars have been dubs, and all but one golfs (the other was a polo) but have always had a soft spot for the corrado and after my last golf was a vr6. There was only one car i really had in mind after a couple of years beeing abroad and not needing a car..... a Corrado VR6, After searchin for the last month or so all the forums and adverts and viewin a few this last week, finally settled on one that was tucked away in the corner of a dealers yard. It's a '93, got 125K on the clock, completely standard, 9 months ticket, All the electrics work :shock: although the sunroof is a clear glass one, and there was a painted sunroof in the boot, Was the glass one from the passat?? Picked it up for just under 2.5K It needs a bit of tlc: The Paint needs a proper machine polish, mostly just swirls but no signs of rust or evidence of respray work. Front drivers side fog and ind are cracked and fog doesnt work, Both front windows have scratching runnin down them, looks like something is scratchin them when the windows have been wound up and down Mechanical its seems fairly sounds, no smoke, pulls well, no signs of anything leaking, suspension and chassis all feel soild, does pull slightly to the left under very heavy breakin, only slight though There is a quiet rattle from the left hand upper engine area, fairly certain its the serpentine belt tensioner Other than that everythings else seems ok although bound to come across a few other little niggles im sure, anyhow here's a few pics from the dealers adverts, will try and get some of my own pics up in the next day or two, but was too busy driving it to take photo's this afternoon :D Cheers Mart passat climatronic wiring diags.pdfNew Toy 1.jpg[/attachment:1vvcjdhx] climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfnew toy 2.jpg[/attachment:1vvcjdhx] 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfNew toy 3.jpg[/attachment:1vvcjdhx] New toy 4.jpg[/attachment:1vvcjdhx]

Know what u mean tom, love building engines, just wish i hadn't had to got rid of my broken mk3 vr as a whole, if i'd had the space to store some bits would have kept and rebuilt the engine Mart

Parts are around £200 IIRC and labour prob bout the same but would depend on how much ur mechanic charges per hour
