Got a tube of this from the stealers last week - circa €23 - see below. I've done the front guide rails and the wind barier pivots, but it is pretty tricky to get at the mech that's used for the tilt position - anyone any ideas ? Does the roof have to come out for greasing up - I'm thinking of using a small conical tip that's quite long, with the end cut off.

Finally finished my uprated wiring loom and will fit today - I bought a loom from ebay and then modified it by putting the realays in a waterproof container, added plug and play by using OEM connectors for each lamp and for the original headlight feed and sealed it with tape as well as I could:

Will do - I'm waiting for the stalk to come in, and will take some pictures of the kit contents and various components over the weekend. If you keep an eye on this thread, there will be updates as I go along.

Many thanks - mine arrived yesterday. A great find and it may help to cure my ABS light issues. Does anyone have a how-to on replacing these ?

Some more info: Part# for cruise control stalk is 1H0953513D €91.00 + VAT from stealers, currently on back order from Germany. If anyone is looking for a pre-facelift version of this stalk I have one purchased by accident. http://www.urotuning.com/shop/turn-sign ... -1812.html

I'll second Jon_vr6 on that - many thanks for all your effort in organising this.

That sounds about right for the dealer prices - they're in euros over here. You might pick them up cheaper in GSF or the like, or even better a Bosch distributor - they are standard relays and can be cross-referenced with the correct part number. The 167 fuel one is in a lot of VAG cars - if you do get one from a scrappy's, go for a relatively young car, as relays can and do go wrong over time - otherwise we wouldn't even have such a thread.

Here are the part numbers for the two relays - these were got from VAG on 10/5/2010, so should be the most recent. ECU Relay - (109) - 1J0 906 381 A Fuel Pump Relay - ( 167) - 191 906 383 C Hope this helps someonw when ordering.

Just hwat I was looking for - should have used the search. Mea culpa.

Hi. What's the recommended way of keeping the sunroof mech running smoothly ? What kind of grease/lubricant do you use ? Noticed that it's a bit slower to close recently, and remembered reading that it's a service check. Bearing grease Lithium grease Wd40 Multip purpose oil etc. and for all the wags, I've already thought of most of the funny (or not so ) answers...e.g. KY, butter, vaseline etc. so no need unlees it's really original. Cheers.

I'll have volksworld's sensor please if it's still available - let me know the payment details and I will sort paypal swiftly. Cheers.

Ordered part today - should be at dealer's on Monday. Once I have both the ECU and Fuel Pump relays verified and working, I will post both part numbers. Cheers.

Cheers for the info jon_vr6 and hodaz, I should be able to sort something out with that.

Apologies for ressurecting an old thread, but does anyone have the part number for a fuel pump relay (167) that has been purchased recenlty for a VR6 ? My stealer shows lots of superceded part numbers and the one I have in the car shows up as an ECU relay on their system.

I bought the kit, but haven't got around to fitting it yet. It looks relatively easy to fit - I'll see if I can take a few pictures of the contents. I also need to get hold of the correct later style cruise control lever, as the one I have is pre-facelift. There seem to be two ways of doing cruise control: - get hold of a full original kit from a Corrado/Golf /Passat and rip everything out and fit - this means taking out the pedal box etc. and means using second hand parts - fit one of these aftermarket items, the install seems easier, but I don't know anything about how well it works yet, although it is quite a standard retrofit for camper vans and motor homes so I can't see that there should be too many problems. Of course if you have a conversion to a later engine such as a 1.8T, or a even a diesel, cruise control is a simple plug and play affair that you can turn on in software as it's fly by wire.

Add me to the list if anyone pulls out please. Have some ABS funnies and would like to have one around for peace of mind.

pearl grey metallic of course ! - atlhough some of the rarer colours are nice too.

I believe you may be able to wind the motors on by hand using an allen key, same as the sunroof. The door cards would have to come off though. Some bin liners and duct tape as a temporary measure ?

Would be interested in the answer to this as well - I'm pondering a full 288 front and Mk4 rear conversion on my brakes. AFAIK they bolt straight on - they can also be got new from ATE, might be worth considering as you may have to do a rebuild on secondhand ones - although the rebuild kits aren't expensive and the later callipers don't seize as easily as the MkII ones.

Cheers for that - looking forward to it.

Here's a few links to get you started: Sample wiring pins -various sizes Loom tape A terminal extractor tool - you can get them cheaper than this Wiring repair set Connector - this a lighting one - but all the standard ones are available, just check the part # on them. The VAG parts system has a whole set of pages on connectors, wiring and terminals in the Electrical section. Check this link out for some part numbers: http://www.quattroforum.com/forum/elect ... basic.html Hope this helps.

These are all still available new from the stealers - they are standard connectors found on many VAGs of the era. Go in with the part or the part #. Not expensive. If they give you the runaround, just go to another dealer that is more helpful. To rewire you can order repair kits that are basically a 5 inch length of yellow wire (available in various gauges) with a pin crimped onto each end - cut them in half, insert into the connector and splice into the loom. It's also possible to order just the contact blade crimps themselves, but you will need a specialist crimp tool to form a good join. Use exterior fabric wire wrap or heatshring to seal the connection and you're done. The existing pins can be removed either with a specialist extractor tool, or a very small flat blade jeweller's screwdriver. Alternatively find a car in a scrappies or one that is being broken and take the bits you need off the loom - I'm sure there are plenty on here.

If they are new OEM springs they will sit very high until it settles down - drive it for a while, put something in the boot and wait at least 500 miles before doing an alignment and tracking again if you've done the fronts as well.

@mrbeige Sound - would you be able to add me to the list and send on payment details via pm please ? Thanks.

Would be well interested in a set of these as well. Can you post to Dublin, Ireland ? And how much do you need, paypal etc. Cheers.
