vag-com , check fault codes, are you losing spark or fuel? could be many things. try swaping the fuel pump relay/ecu reay with a known good one and re-try.

gettin there slowly in peices at the mo, fabricating new lower sill, /arch bottom, corrsion is hidden evrywhere you would know until you have a poke, your welcome to have a look at her, if the cruise is comin this way?!!

im in newquay, can manage dartmoor/bodmin moor!! let me know ehere the cruise is goin! :D 8)

the crankshaft pulley is held on by allen keys as i rememeber, well it is on the 8v ady engine , i think this is the same for the vrs as well.

another tribute to the corrado community, good effort on restoring, quite a dab hand with paint and spanners, oh not to mention the sewing machine! :D :notworthy:

thats vanalism,call the police, no doubt you take much pride in your c, and scrotty kids climbing on your car would push me over the edge!! before you go and get paint chris? i am right corra doh i would get the dent guys out , really good job on myn, the swage line was bk perfect again for 30 quid!

rig up 240v from the house electrics to the door /handle,and bury the cable in the gravel,!

leave the outside light on where your car is parked and using the mini camera that everyones on a bout get filming see if they come around! also have the .22 loaded on a bipod on the window sill, ready to take pot shots :snipersmile:

i take it the joint has snapped/broken up, it is highly unlikely the the center part or the shaft itslef hass broken, sometimes when you strip the suspension steering down, especially when doing the bottom balljoint, is you have to be carefull in not pulling it out and dislodging the joint slightly, and when turning corners the joint popped completly out,im well aware the joint was held in byu a c clip, but this can happen.i would personally ring them up, and say trading standards are involved and that you will go to court over the matter if neccesary, perhaps then they may reconsider getting you a new drive shaft in a nd replacing it.

i tryed buying those black bolts/screw for the slamp panel and i got the wing style ones, i think they have superseded top the wing type :( if anyone knows the r :( igh p/n le me know!!

no they are a solid complete cap, part number off etka, p/n 867601173 saying 16 in total , there is another type that fits over genuine locking wheel nuts as well -p/n 535601173b, saying 4 in total

yes wheel cover caps came fitted as standard, but many prob got slung away,the callipers brand new come in a goldy/silvery colour, when i bough a rear calliper last, silver would look oem though. not anal question if anything i prob more fussy than you about niggles like that!! :D

ha its like your stocking all the parts up before theyre all gone forever!! good plan, thing is to buy/ keep and store and sell for a premium when its obsolete. sad thought all the parts being dropped day by day :(

there is a sticker in your boot and owners manual with the paint code on it, failing that ring vw with your reg or chassis they will tell you,

thats correct usually when the end number changes it usually get modifed slightly or something but it usually superseeds through the alphabet a,b,c, ect

the latter is just superseeded, so both parts willl be fine!

nice one,like the design too!!

if the steering is heavy and lightens up alot than it is reved ,it will more likely the pump is worn and not pumping as well, assistance should be the same idle and reved, tryed a known good one , and update the thread.

check oil level and condition, for any metal swarf ect, i think their is a gauze in the reservoir.do you have any noises from the pump? it sound like the pump isnt pumping anymore,try steering left to right stationary and rev the engine does the steering feel lighter when reved?

also you dint mention earthing yourself to the body,to prevent a static charge which could deploy the air bag.
