  1. 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


  2. 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!!!!


  3. 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


  4. 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


  5. 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


  6. I can help witha spare handle if you want mate you will just need to change your lock barrel

     

    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


  7. Yes, they are interchangeable. As you say, only difference is the raised lock. You can use Passat B4 but if I recall correctly you need to use the lock mechanism as well

     

    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!


  8. 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


  9. Hello iam trying to trace a fault on the central locking for a 92 car

     

    i gather interior lights etc are connected to the same fused supply?

     

    these are fine but reading Bentley Manual its says check fuse S16 & S52 before commencing any test with multimeter

     

    i can find fuse S16 but where is fuse S52?

     

    thanks


  10. 48 and counting

     

    always been into vw with mk2 golfs gtis just wanted something different and the g60 came up cheap 2010

    not on the road yet but will be next summer. made big progress with it in the past 6 months as with working with classic cars i find you need to be in the right frame of mind as seized nuts and scrapped knuckles drive me mad!
