  1. would be interested in this myself but lots of work needed and trailering it home is going to cost.

  3. Right royaly messed up!! took my coil off to clean up behind it and left it for a week and taped one wire so i knew it was live but can`t remember wether the block connector goes to the bulkhead side or the front of the engine! There are two wires the same colour (black) and a block conecter with a green an red wire, has any one got any pics how they connect, don`t want to take a chance and possibly do some damage
  4. Ok Rob Theres one on ebay from america and its genuine and he`s asking £24 delivered and its new, if you would take £20 delivered for the best one i will have it and i can assure you i wouldn`t sell on as ive had the car for over 10 years now and can`t see it ever leaving me! If you don`t want to let it go for that i`ll understand Regards Richard

  6. Can`t believe anybody thinks they can spend a grand on an 18 yr old car and have trouble frre motoring for 12 months, Sorry aint gonna happen personally i dont think you can buy anything other than a shed for 1k
  7. Thanks carpy, its just the 16v badge thanks
  8. Im after a late front grille badge for a 16 valve if anybody has a tidy one they are willing to sell as there deleted now
  9. Just lately every weekend has been taken up with either fixing things on the Audi or corrado or my pick up! This weekend for instance has been saturday/ thermostat and thermotime switch seal and a good clean up of the corrado after it being sat far too long in the garage then wash and hoover the TT and today its the pick ups turn! wash and hoover inside check all fluids, last weekend was changing the springs for H&R springs on mates A3 Quattro and then on sunday a Haldex oil and filter change on the TT and the weekend before it was H&R springs on my TT and oil and filter! It never ends with these old cars, Next weekend it is Rear exhaust rubber hangers and Water coolant outlet change on the c! I end up going back to work more knackered than i am in the week!! Let alone skint
  10. Thanks guys, wonder if something from the vag range will do the job
  11. The little collets or gromets that sit on top of the door card where the door locking pin slides up and down through! 1 of mine is broke so am looking for some but not sure what the correct term or name is for them
  12. The blocks fine jason and the engine runs like a dream after the rebuild, congrats on the new VR mate similar coulor to mine Bordeaux pearl, Im sure you will turn it into a minter
  13. I have replaced my kr bottom end with a 9a 2.0 block and used a gas flowed kr head and most of the parts are interchangeable including the cam pulley and belt but i used a 2.0 head gasket as its a steel gasket, davidwort is the best to ask as he gave me some valueable info as it was a while ago that i did mine but its well worth it for the extra torque! The manifolds do fit and depends which size inlet manifold you want ---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ---------- Not sure about the throttle body from the 2.0 but changing the water pump would be a good idea while you are at it ---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ---------- I think the cambelt pulley stud is different that goes into the kr head
  14. Mine has a 9a block with a KR head! converted it myself and used a 1.8 cambelt kit! positive there both the same

    1.8t vs Vr6

    1 good thing about the 18t is how easily and cheaply tuneable it is compared to the VR engine, My TT is the 225 bam engine mapped by DG and i have done the wak box conversion which gives it a bit more noise and a nice whoosh from the turbo and feels really lively and fast! My mate has a mapped R32 with an airbox conversion and sounds awesome but after going out in the two cars he was shocked that the TT is faster but i would admit the TT sounds nothing like his R32, The 18t would be a nice conversion in the four pots but wouldn`t want to butcher a VR for the 18t engine! and also how would front wheel drive cope with nearly 300bhp without the electronic trickery that the TT has?
  16. Lovely R there mate, my mates got one in blue! I repaired the door lock on it last weekend as there prone for going on them and the alarm doesnt work when they do go and a few other eleccy probs! his has been remapped and sounds really nice and shifts too!
  17. Anyone who pays £850 for them must be simple
  18. im sure someone on here would check it out for you
  19. I must of spent over 6k on mine over a period of 10 years which is good considering iv`e spent over £1200 on my TT in 10 months! Cars= expensive hobby
  20. It looks cheap if its as good as it looks! Its becoming increasingly hard to find a corrado in decent condition these day
