The newer aerials carry the current for the amplifier in the base over the aerial cable, the older ones like mine have a seperate live feed that plugs into the base - so check what you have and make sure you get the correct one. You can get bases and aerials all over the place.

Yeah, it's very simple and comes with clear instructions. I used posi twist/posi tap connectors to splice into the loom and they haven't given me any trouble in over 4 years. One of the first mods I did on the electrics along with the auxiliary gauges.

I have one of the shorter arials and it updates the car nicely.

Smoke and mirrors...that's what I Corrado is held together with! If you treat the seals/rubbers with silicon spray regularly it stops them from deteriorating. Apparently it should be standard VAG maintenance procedure.

I have the comfort indicator in mine - works very nicely.

Tell me about it. Mine's a daily driver as well, and my RHS electric window has just stopped working, so I have to get out and wipe it on the outside on these cold and damp mornings. Not too many probs with condensation inside the car though, and the heater makes it nice and toasty quickly.

@science - check out this old thread: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=46616

AFAIK you need to use a T piece and sender, or you can get a 2 pole sender that does both the low pressure warning and drives a gauge. Mostly found on Audi Coupes with the 3 dial aux gauge panel. I did mine with a VDO sender and a connecting piece that has the existing pressure sender sat on top and the new sender to the side.

I'll pull out if that is ok.

The inner door scrapers are available from Classic parts - I've just bought one of each. What about the red VR6 badges? Would be nice to have.

You need to remove the wheel and the cowling to get to it. For the wheel, pull off the horn cover, unclip the horn wire on the inside, and then a 24mm socket to undo the nut that holds it on. The cowling has three screws underneath (need a long thin screwdriver for this), but most have them missing so it might just clip off. The stalks are then held on with long screws - you'll see them, and there is a multiplug connector or two going to them that you need to unclip. Not sure from memory if the MFA stalk on the right needs to come off first or not to get to the indicator one.

If you mean the trim clips, you can still get a lot of them through the dealers.

Just a 24mm socket as far as I remember. Carefully pop off the warning horn cover in the middle by pulling the corners in turn and you'll see the nut holding it on.

I've dealt with Peter before - he's a nice guy and very quick to come back to you. It would be nice to negotiate a club discount with them as well.

Funny - I meant pipe

Fuel wipe weeping? I think they are stainless on the 16v k-jet though? There are small washers on the junctions as far as I remember from my Audi Coupe Quattro inline five days.

What body work needs to be done on the grey car? It looks ok in the pics. I'm biased anyway as I have a pearl grey myself ;)

Must have the plastic tube that the water lead from the reservoir connects to intact, as this is what broke on mine, leaving a nice mess in the boot. I know you can get replacement nozzles, but the old one would not come out, even with drilling. Many thanks - postage is to Dublin, Ireland please.

Is there any way to make the site easier to read by having more contrast or changing the colours of the text? I found the old forum much easier to read, and now the search box is quite hard to make out. Thanks.

Don't know about the MkII roccos, but would love to have a Mark I !

Likewise

I speak German, but the guys there have pretty good English and are nice to deal with. Ordered quite a bit off them over time, last bits were the left and right inner door slot trims. They also have parts that are not listed in the online shop.

Now going on 75K miles - bad things that have happened are a knackered sunroof (usual symptoms) and a driver's side electric window that won't work. At least I have a full sunroof repair kit to hand. Not looking forward to taking the door card off thought and not even thinking about having to replace the window regulator! Since the last post I've had to do the crack pipe and thermostat housings, oil cooler seal and pipes, aux belt and tensioner. The cooling system stuff was not fun parked outside on the drive with no garage, but I won out in the end. Two tries and everything was water tight. The lights on buzzer worked a treat - followed the MkIII wiring and everything worked. Also fitted one of the new headlight switches from the group buy, with a slight mod to make the switch illumination all green. And a nice battery jacket to keep it all cosy in the engine bay. And good news - got front and rear bumpers resprayed and some touch up done. Now it's time for a full service and another round of the NCT (Irish National Car Test).

Not if it has the same faults as your old one. And last time I checked VAG wanted €1300 for a new one.
