update checked with multimeter and getting voltage to the headlight connector still no light working i have a spare headlight so i try it and it works!!! cant understand why the original headlight works with the standard loom but not the uprated one the connections on both lamps are clean and in good order

no the bulb is fine just reconnected the existing loom and its fine - just to confirm the bulb thats out is the small bulb (first click of the headlight switch) - how do i check alternator brushes?

spoke to soon just noticed no dipped headlight passenger side - have removed the ballast on the passenger wing and the battery light flickers on start up but goes out with a press of the accelerator - will look at it all again

its all sorted - pretty obvious once i looked at it again - feel a bit stupid to be honest as i say hopeless at electrics!! but wow what a difference excellent upgrade also changed the bulbs to nightbreakers - thought i was going to eat a lot more carrots just need my wheels refurbed and an mot so hopefully on the road for the summer

just got delivered an uprated headlight loom and just about to fit it (i believe its of a former forum member busybok?) anyway why is there two additional connectors at the headlight connections? i can see the four pin for the headlight bulb connections but these connections where do they attach? one is one pin and the other is three pin?? i am a complete numpty when it comes to electrical!!! just noticed the battery is dead so will wait until the morning to fit let it charge overnight. thanks in advance

are these parts rare?

some very polished metal there. lovely. like the mirrors to see the underside of the red Corrado

I found a Dutch company Sinatec who make them but a minimum order was 250 Euro plus postage I passed the details to Anna at heritage to consider. was hoping someone would make them 3D printer? need them myself

as above looking a early passenger black door speaker grille with all clips intact thankyou

My corrado needs new front door speakers so was about to order a set of alpines of ebay i noticed that a charity shop were listing a set for roughly the same money - so feeling charitable i bought the set. they arrived today and the alpine packaging box was perfect - so i was happy something to do this weekend decided to open them up to see what they looked like as i have never used alpine before. what was inside - A SET OF SPEAKERS FROM A KIA - with S**t outputs YOU GOT TO LAUGH!!!!

thanks for the reply Cressa

I am reassembling my door cards but can remember how the trim finishes at the top where it meets the door glass is there 2 parts to this? - one part that attaches to the upper door frame and another that clips in to it that the door card fits into so as to give a neat finish at the top. i have various pieces here some may be of a mk2 golf but these parts carry no part numbers thanks in advance

on the funny side - where i live its generally the criminals and the drug dealers who have these set ups!!!

just purchased this to see if it helps TECHNICQLL from the-tuning-shop @ £9.99 for a tin

does anyone know what type of adhesive used to stick down the door card material my leather door card needs the edges refixed - the existing seems to be a non setting type? thanks

After what is a long time my corrado resto is finally on the home strait After almost completing the interior (only door cards left) i have come across a seal which looks like a sunroof seal and i cant remember where it has come from its to thick to be the exterior seal and its grey in colour how many seals are on the corrado sumroof? i have refitted 2 the black exterior - new to make the sunroof watertight and a second that fits around the headlining and sunroof is there a third ? Thanks

check etka for part number kr engine therefore same as mk2 golf I believe one may be blanked off? would need to check if you car has abs the part will have a different part number again

Hello just noticed the late style grille - are all the clips intact if so how much to post to belfast

correct if if I'm wrong I read somewhere that you can't modify cars in France?.but that looks a fantastic car!!!

sure it was a horrible colour anyway

well got it sorted this morning vw tech had it quickly diagnosed once he looked at it it all started to come back to him - all the gremlins associated with the Corrado. first the drivers door handle was faulty (switch in the handle) but the main fault was in both doors electrical connections within the electrical wrapping around the handle plug connection was an electrical connection which he called An Electrical Dode ! ( think I'm correct here) three wires are basically connected together which with age had corroded once cleaned and reconnected the central locking operated again - result happy man

thanks lilfuzzer I might take you up on that. I wait until the vw tech has had a look at it. last night I changed the drivers door Handel over and the central locking operated once I.e the car locked and that was it the central locking stopped

thanks for the reply swiftkid I thought they would be but wanted to be sure. I assume once the micro switch is proven faulty a new handle is required!

as above are all corrado door handles interchangable i.e those with the micoswitch for central locking / elect windows. reason i ask spoke to vw technician today and although its been years since he worked on corrados he has agreed to look at mine he believes the fault with mine lies with faulty switch within the door handle my car is the change over model from 92 and in its history the drivers door lock was changed (later raised face lock type) passenger side has the smooth handle type. i can get hold of another lock set of a 95 car but will the micro switch be different and will not be suitable? thanks

just got an email from them and it appears they only deal in large quantities and postage will be excessive?
