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

I can relieve you of them if no longer needed Jim?

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

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

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!

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?

i have been looking for replacement water deflector trim clips for the windscreen 535853832a

i have come across a dutch company SINATEC - which lists them

their website even if you translate it to english is confusing

has anyone on here used them and if so how did they order them?

thanks

as above looking a working central locking pump 357 962 257

must be willing to post to belfast

thanks

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

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!
