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?

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

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!

Thanks for the reply will send you a pm

I have had a lot of vehicles over the years but 2 in particular have me regretting first is a mk1 Astra gte ( have not seen one in years) as mine was a solid car with only a minor oil leak which I did not bother to investigate and I regret to say was quicker than a mk2 golf gti that replaced it. these cars are really sought after now. the second is a golf rallye I had for a mere 10 months. it caused me grief for the first 6 months with numerous leaks including a replacement rack and a new genuine complete exhaust that cost a small fortune. but the car was well speced with electric recaros and low mileage but in the end after I got it all sorted I hated the sight of the thing and sold it for buttons (4K) I knew from the moment It left my home that I would regret it and I have especially for the value of them now I should have just put it away.

£650.00 what a laugh. but vw classic parts are going to do a rerun of these if I am correct (Annavr6) although they will be expensive I can't see them being £650. so people hold on if you can or buy a set from karmanski on here who has put a great deal of effort to get replacements made.

drivers side front indicator crack free?

tried both pe and abs plastic welding rods - could not get any of them to bond to the splitter So done a bit of minor grinding of the split areas to create a gap reinforced the rear of the damaged splitter with additional pvc (used pvc window trim) it was all that was at hand not the prettiest but its at the rear and who is going to see it maybe the MOT man. filled in the joints with flexible body filler, rubbed down with fine wet and dry paper and sprayed the entire splitter with textured bumper paint (thanks STU) and it has come up a treat - very happy looks like a brand new splitter from the front just made my day - this will do until they become available again

hello Sr Neale I may have pm you by accident I meant to pm the seller. sorry

hello I have been looking for a decent front door cards for a while now how much for them and would you be willing to post. if no one else before me takes them. thanks. I'll send you a pm

that looks first class stu - hate having a nice newly painted car let down by poor plastics good to know that also fla

nice repair stu come to think of it i have a good soldering iron here tempted to have a go! just looked on the ebay for plastic welding rods and there are so many for various plastics The splitter does not have any marking on if for what type of material it is - maybe was not required during the nineties when recycling was for the geeks and anoraks!!

i have checked it against my mk2 plastics but it feels and looks slightly different or maybe it just its age? The guy just wants to be sure in case he makes a b***s of it

As above need a front splitter 90mm been in contact with vw classic parts who say they are currently seeking a manufacturer in the mean time i know someone who will attempt to weld my existing splitter but needs to know what type of plastic it is made from most modern plastic panels are marked with exactly what they are made off but having looked at my splitter all i can see is part number and date of manufacturer any one any information? Thanks
