That's normal - it needs to be at about 80 degrees coolant before the standard ECU cycle and 02 kick in. Cold air helps as well.

NOW FIXED. I've had problems with drained batteries and needing jump starts in the last few days, and noticed that the cooling fan seems to run all the time with ignition off (obviously until the battery is empty!) whereas before it was just the after run. Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips? I'll have a read of the definitive cooling thread, and at the moment have the battery disconnected and will check all connections to the coolant senders and fan switch. Cheers for any help.

1H0915411B for the 54/63Ah battery, 357915411C for the 60Ah one, which is smaller I believe.

I have the 70mm Spoonfed item with a moderate height drop and am very happy with it, I think if the car is seriously lowered it has to be the 50mm, even though it doesn't look that good.

You can order these from VW or get one on german Ebay. I have one fitted, you'll see it in the Member's gallery in my sig.

Thought that myself when I was taking the pics - lol. The boot is half full of car parts, so that might explain it.

Just uploading some pictures to show the stance and drop with Bilstein B6 shocks and H&R green springs.

You can get these new from VW Classic parts.

I'll go last in line.

I could be interested in one if you get a second lot on the go.

Now sorted. Thanks to clumpy1 - cheers.

Daily or every second day driver here - bought at 36,000 five years ago and now just over 75,000 on the clock.

Not low at all. I run Boge sports shocks and H&R springs and the ride is just a little lower than normal and very comfortable.

This is mine before it went in: http://www.corrado-database.nl/index.php?item=view_media&sc_id=3471&media_id=30045_6870 But I like the idea of having everything hidden away apart from the wiring.

Looking good!

I simply put the relay part of the loom into a waterproof box from Maplins - the cables come out through some kind of round connector. HAs worked well for me.

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.
