    purge fuel tank

    i didnt have any problems with muck in my tank until my dad decided to keep 5litres of wood preservative in a jerry can and i added that to my fuel!!!!! :cry: :cry: :oops: didnt get far but after a couple of hours of removing/cleaning injectors etc..... it was fine!
  10. why dont you find some forum users in your area and see if they`ll take you for a spin? the 16v is a lazy car but it should provide you with enough fun if you keep the loud pedal floored, G60`s are a different kettle of fish and much more tunable....it just depends on your needs from a car :?
  11. here`s a pic of sonia`s new car after some little scote wrote off her C!! a tidy golf for now until we can afford another corrado

  14. snap-off wheel!! thats gotta be a good deterent
  15. IIRC there is a cog on the flap which directs the air up to the windscreen when you move the lever! this can break meaning the flap doesn`t get moved.... you`ll probably have to take the heater control panel off and the parts of the dash in the footwell s off to trace the bowden cable to see where it goes hope this helps
  16. cheers guys exactly what i thought!!!!! did try and see if was interested at a figure around 1500 but NO way, it`s a no no!!! i said i`d sleep on it and said i`d ask some friends who knew a thing or two about corrado`s!! (you lot!) thanxs again! any one know of a good one?? about £2k! :)
  17. went to look at this. h plate 1.8 16v 155K FVWSH, cambelt done 5k ago,discs last year,never had head gasket done,only a few dings, looks totally original, felt very good--straight and FAST compared to mine lots of pull! engine was quite dirty and the front seat was a little worn no sunroof?!?! good or bad? and the rooflining was sagging badly-price on repair?? was asking £2150 including a set of 17"wolfrace street racer wheels or something??? said i didnt want the wheels and got him down down a bit-£300ish opinions??
  18. hissing i`m thinking you`ve had the boost return mod done??? i`m no expert ....??? :oops:
  19. cheesy, you got any far away pictures of the spoiler?
  20. but why on a german plate?? do mazda have anything to do with VW?? my dealer has vw, audi, chrysler and mazda showrooms on the premises, are they all related?
  21. i`ve just noticed and i dont know if it`s been posted before but... the red RX8 in the ad has MAX 808 on a german plate does anybody know why???
  22. emmafwa, hey emma i take it your the same emma that bought sonia`s gearstick surround hope it fitted ok? there are more corrado`s round here than anywhere else i know.... silver one is a G60 owned by a lad i know a little bit called Rui, another mate called paul owns a clean yellow G60 dont think they`re on here though (although i have directed them here a few times!!!) i passed a sherry coloured one on the bends between menai bridge and beaumaris the other day, i flashed and got a wave!
  23. yeah i wouldn`t mind if they were all red but that purpley colour must be the colour of the laquer he sprayed over!!?? could this be a fix for the "how do i flash orange" problem!!?? i`ll ask when i get my other lights done and leave the white!
  24. Rhodri, i`d keep that car standard and spend the money on another car, it seems a shame to modify such a rare beauty... put some pics up mate
