this is a very common issue - i had my windscreen fitted by a local fitter who took his time and did a first class job The original seal was refitted but after a quick run up to 60 mph the seal began to come adrift in the end i got hold of a tube of black windscreen sealant and put a fine bead along the top of the screen and pushed the seal home and have not had a problem since. i assume the problem is at the factory the screens were fitted by robot and are fitted within a fraction of mm which cannot be replicated by hand

i will have one please

how much are they cant see any price?

can i have your lock tumblers please

standard thread - just chisel it to the left some come off easy some are tight to the last thread

thanks for the pics keyo - that exactly what i needed - looks so obvious now but just could not work it out earlier thanks again keyo!

all is well - is your parts hunt over! Its not the white hangars - these are metal coat hanger material (best way i can describe it) like y shape i cant up load pictures i had these quite a while now from the local vw dealer but never got them fitted drooping handbrake cables not a pretty sight - these may not be on a vr6? by the way that car is clean underneath - looks like a new car - shame to take it out in the rain to get dirty

does anyone have a fitted picture of the wire hanger that the hand brake cable attaches to as it moves along the rear axle finally getting around to getting these fitted but cant see how they attach? - same as mk2 golf i can best describe these as small curtain hanger type? thanks

thats a very fair price there - i paid roughly the same 4 years ago for a genuine one off ebay and roughly the same again for a genuine rear box buy it quickly you will not get another at that price last time i looked vw classic parts had these in stock (some time ago) and may be NLA - they were serious money the weight of them shows they are top quality!

advertised on gumtree (£2900) the usual non working sunroof, interior looks well worn but no apparent holes, both front and rear. from the pictures front suspension turrets look rusty - car living by the sea?

First car was a vauxhall nova 1,0 swing - great car for the hand brake turns! Bought in 1988 for £2600 from a vw dealer with the help of my father. followed by a ford orion and a mk1 astra gte (loved this cars driving position) then rust took it over

car looks fantastic keyo - must be interesting to drive with the shrick - how different does it make the vr6 engine?

it was a 1990 it was tornado red and at the time it reg was G834 YNF

i did the cardinal sin and traded it for a mk3 gti 8 valve (don't laugh please) at the time it was bleeding me dry and looking back i actually carried out 90% of the faults before i sold it! The last i heard was it was traded to another trader south of the border here in ireland

there is the crank shaft oil seal that sits between engine and gearbox - the clutch and flywheel have to come off to fix oil leaks can come from a number points and it surprises you where the oil shows itself i find a common point is sensors especially cars of this age

i had one of those back in the year 2000 - cost me a bloody fortune it was just at the age where everything goes wrong and because everything was unique to the car its ££££. The original exhaust centre box was £1000. I sold it for buttons at the time and now regret it.

i assume your talking about the rear quarter windows? If so the rubber is attached to the glass and the glass is bonded in - as with the windscreen and has to be removed by cutting wire - best removed by a good windscreen fitter.

they even list the elusive outer scraper seals

hello angus keen to get a look at this im from belfast - thanks - i think i may have seen this is it green and parked at a house as you enter saintfield from belfast?

Hello keyo we are all hoarders now with corrado parts !! with regards to these parts i have a car here for parts and these are still attached and intact (i will have to confirm this) but how do you remove them without breaking them as they are plastic and almost 30 years old

i dont do social media full stop, as far as i can see all it used for is abusing people. so facebook etc is a NO. Then again iam just getting old (just turned 50)

i changed the fluid on my car and the pedal was spongy but after a few hours driving the pedal stiffened up again

i love the g60 engine thats why i chose it when getting a corrado - i had a rallye in 2000 and it cost me a fortune as it was just at an age that everything started to go wrong - abs pump various sensors suspension etc but worst of all was the exhaust as i like my cars as vw intended the cenre box alone was £1000 - BUT I LOVED IT and regretted having to sell it as it was sitting outside and where i lived car thieving scum operated. it was well speced with electric recaros etc - cant believe asking prices today as i sold mine for peanuts its the g60 for me - just love the noise.

hi Angus with regards to traders (not all) you will find that they offer poor prices for your car finding faults and within a few weeks you find the car advertised at an inflated price keeping genuine enthusiasts out interesting number plate that was once on the car - probably worth more than the car today try to get a few pictures up. here is a great site to advertise on with many genuine enthusiasts

hello Angus. sorry to hear about your loss I'm from Belfast and I am a Corrado owner (sorry fanatic) as above it all comes down to its condition, spec and what it will cost to put it back on the road. six years for a car to be off the road is not good. has the car been kept in dry storage? it may be in your best interest just to advertise the car and people who admire these cars will come to view it and make offers to purchase it.just be aware of traders
