Cool. Have you started a build thread for this one?

Nice one. I've got a local guy who can make up shafts. So your retaining the 6 speed box? The only other bits I was wondering about were fuel pumps/tank and do you need to retain the golf clocks too?

Hi guys I've been away from the world of corrados for about 6 years. I currently have a mk4 golf TDI pd150. I'm considering using it as a donar for a corrado project. I've tried searching on here but I can't seem to find any info on the conversion. I'll be on the search for a suitable car to fit the engine in to also. Is there a certain model that lends itself better than others for the tdi? Any info/links to build threads/corrado a for sale would be appreciated Cheers

hi guys, what will i need to convert my m reg 2.0 16v to 5 stud, its got abs too, dont know if that affects anything? cheers

cheers, yeah iv fitted the old r1 race can off the red one, stil unsure what lights to get upfront.. thanks for the comments guys

This is my new one, as my previous red one has biten the dust its on coilovers, 18" Lenso RS5`s, Black interior, Debadged Grill, bra Future mods, new lights all round, and straight bumpers! Let me know what you think! Comments Welcome!

flying!! lol iv lost one now, it shot straight out the car.. not to worry, all sorted now. cheers fellas, found the best way to get the knobs off was to put a spanner behind them and lever them off. just the dash left to do but ill leave that for the weekend me thinks

ace666, how much was the screen if you dont mind me askin?? i need one for mine but keep putting it off as i thought it will be ££££s

my drivers one had the same problem, i took the door card off and watched it go up and down, there is like a scissor part which attaches to the alloy slider at the bottom of the window, one of the white plastic bushes had come off and was sitting in the door, luckily it slid back onto the alloy slider then clipped back onto the end of the scissor part, hope this helps

possibly something stuck in the fan causing it to stall now blown a fuse?? id check the fuse for it then take the motor out and see whats jamming it up

dunno if this helps but im turboin a 16v, a friend is breaking a punto turbo with a pace intercooler. iv offered it up and it will fit in front of the rad but a bit of the slam pannel's brace will need trimming but width wise it just fits between the 2 chassis legs spot on, 2" inlet/outlet and the pipes both bend backwards towards the rear of the car, another one is the frontera TD intercooler,the same layout as the one above, iv got one on my nova turbo and that copes with 300bhp no problems, ill post some measurements tomorrow if u like? this is slim too so it may fit between the rad and brace bar as is is, these can be bought for £40 upwards so quite cheap too

cheers guys.. what about the grab handle above the door??

im stripping the black interior out of my old red one to fit in my new blue one which has grey interior. iv managed to take everything else out without damaging anything but im stuck trying to remove the plastic which runs down the pillars and above the side windows. iv unbolted the seatbelt at the top but the knob for the slider has to come off to remove the plastic. iv tried pulling but iv got this far without breaking anything, i dont want to start now, other thing is the grab handle, how does this come off?? thanks alex

yeah, probably contact pad on the switch, mine used to do it if i didnt move them for a while, after a quick rough wiggle, they came back to life every time

hi, im about to resurrect my 1.8 16v c after being stood at my mates house for over a year, first task is to sort the engine, head gasket has gone but it also burns oil like hell when sitting at traffic lights. so, the plan is to fit a 2.0 bottom end, what do i need to complete this, which block do i need or would it be easier getting a complete engine and fitting the 1.8 cams, also, will my kjet injection run the 2.0 ok? thanks for any comments/advice, ps. if anyone has any of the parts i need, please let me know cheers, alex

im from wrexham in north wales. just on the boarder next to chester

was your c in broughton retail park the other sunday?? saw a red c with the same wheels on there :?

ask for one off a vr6 if your gonna get a new one.. its the same physical size as the old one in my valver but is a heavier duty

come on, im not that dumb.. would be funny if it did put them up though!!!!!!! :lol:

i know about the trick of holding the mfa button in wen ignition is on, turn ign off then back on, mfa button. would try the lock thing but ive got windey windey windows hehe :(

my 1.8 16v runs on 3 wen its very cold and has no power, but it usually clears wen i rev it. startin to bug me now so any help would be apprecieated

cut the bow.. i remover the detatchable front piece and cut the complete side out next to the wing.. ROARS like mad now.. do it :D

lol.. thats the problem, i havent got anythin for the thing.. dunno what some of the options are on the mfa. theres clock. mpg. oil temp. ave speed. outside temp. and is it time how long its run for since being reset? :shock:

its got a toad alarm/immob combo.. my battery was wrecked though, had trouble turning over some days.. my mpg prob though.. does yours reset on one of the two settings every time you start up? just wondering if its meant to be like that, one reading normally until you reset, and the other automatically resetting on every journey??? :?

mine does it sometimes too, but the mpg will reset too, but only on one of the mfa. the other one carries on as normal.. my clock hasnt reset since i fitted a new battery, maybe yours is gettin a little tired and the starter is suckin all the juice from it?? :shock:
