its only when engine is running, so im assuming it would more likely be the gearbox release bearing then :) any ideas on what the cheepast way to sort it is? are we looking at changin the box?

whenever i recently depress(push down) the clutch i hear a rubbing noise ive had a few people suggest it could be different things - any ideas? the nosie only is audible (and feels a bit rough on the pedal) when i press the clutch down - never in neutral or in gear thanks, rob

have just agreed purchase of a full grey leather corrado interior, except without front seats obviously im gonna keep and eye out for a pair (offers?), but failing that anyone know any alternatives that'll fit straight in and colour-match?

levels seemed fine yesterday but after leaving it standing overnight they dropped hugely. topped up and its fine now, cheers for that

this week for some reason the car was overheating (warning light flashing etc.) and i realised the fan had somehow disconnected its power cable, so i reconnected it (although not until the car overheated and water was pissing out the overflow valves....) after topping the water up and reconnecting the fan the problem seems to be sorted and its running fine, but the temperature warning light still flashes constantly after the car has been running a few minutes (even though the water temp is reading about 80 degrees and oil about 100). any ideas?

off the top of my head its the central locking, blowing between the downpipe and the cat, electric mirrors, rear wiper not sure how imminently i need all of that doing but i could definitely use getting the central locking sorted as i want to add a proper full alarm/remote locking kit

got a few odd jobs needing doing on my corrado - central locking dont work properly and a few other bits. im too busy with things to sort it out so is there anybody local who wants to sort it for me for a bit of cash?

Hi, the fuel pump has gone on my G60 I believe. The RAC guy got it working once by hitting the fuel tank to 'unstick' it, but it has since died completely. Problem is there's several different pumps on eBay, all stating they are for a G60 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-for-VW-Corrad ... 234wt_1054 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-for-VW-Corrad ... 234wt_1054 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN-CORRAD ... 853wt_1165 Which of those should I go for? Many thanks in advance!!

anyone know what courier g-werks use? expecting delivery today but hasnt arrived yet, was hoping to chase myself

fluid looks good so i guess its the belt. easy job?

my g-lader started rattling today, sounded like either maybe a bad bearing or some other rattle (gets worse when revved) ive taken it off and sent to g-werks, little worried though. whats peoples guesses - is this a sign of it being in need of a dire rebuild or do you think i've killed it? :S i've only had the car running 2 weeks after 6-years standstill, a rebuild was on the todo list but was hoping it would be ok for a few weeks until i could justify the cost...

can you recommend a good chip mate?

about a week ago the power steering (i assume) started squealing a bit on full lock (similar sound to a fan belt on its way out). this has now degraded rapidly to the point which it squeals whenever you try and steer either direction at very low speeds or standstill, and the steering goes VERY heavy and jerky. this happen to anyone else? diagnosis/easy to fix? also, would you continue to drive the car in this condition (is it likely to cause more damage)?

hadnt really thought about it much, is a remap necessary? im all up for increasing efficiency but i'd rather not tinker with too much that'll effect economy as 27mpg (which im averaging at the moment) is bad enough as its my daily driver! thoughts?

do you think it's worth the extra money to get it ported to stage 4 or just stick with standard rebuild?
