The discs were genuine vw - a rare bargain on ebay. i cant remember the pads but they would not have been a cheap budget brand - i dont go there. i replaced the original rear calipers (mk2 type) with genuine vw mk3 calipers - came off a low mileage mk3 vr6 still have the gold paint. i later replaced these with refurbed items but made no difference On a previous post i mentioned how my hand brake cables do not pull up square together within the tunnel these were replacement gemco type specific type length for corrado and made no difference.

my car has had an ongoing issue since i put it back on the road its initial mot it just about passed - just The second mot it failed on rear brakes - i could not see anything wrong - but i changed the rear calipers and again fully bled the system using a pumped pressure bleeder - i actually went through twice the amount of fluid it should have taken i applied for mot again and the fault was still there but the inspector let it pass as he could see new discs, calipers and brake bias valve and said it must have a bit of air in the system, (he said on my car the front brakes do all the work anyway) As we know there were no mots last year Its coming around to new mot time again so its going to be an issue again To me the brakes feel good all discs are all nice and shiny and pedal good To me the only thing left is the brake master cylinder - its still the original i have attached images its last mot fail sheet

Now thats rare something for a corrado that is readily available

looks fantastic - i assume with the skirts being zender the fitment was perfect can i ask with the vsr what does the p stand for - pierburg??

Over here (Belfast) we dont get vpower or even 99ron just super unleaded 97 and not every fuel station sells it

i have been looking on line and cant seem to find anything with regards to older vw engines and e10 fuel dont know when i will be back at a vw dealer to ask. is anyone aware of anything ??

I remember the Autocavan and Uro - They broke the vw dealer monopoly on parts as they sold a lot of genuine parts at half the price

It would be really interesting to see these i bet they possibly still have the new car smell!! Possibly these owners dont do social media or internet etc which you have to respect or just very private

If i remember top gear tested one of the first corrados to come to the uk - a silver g60 lhd on a f reg. Tif ? absolutely thrashing it.

That does not look to bad to be honest as normally there are holes now, it is behind that where the serious rot could possibly be along with the fuel tank support bracket Unfortunately you will need to remove the rubber boot and fuel tank to investigate - seller might not be too keen on this. What prices are being asked for corrados in Germany?

i know that well with these cars its buy buy buy what you can when you can and store it. has he still got the existing ? and get a new core.

that looks a great car and a good colour also

Great find this i was beginning to think that this was never going to be sorted as above i rarely use my sunroof and when i do i cringe waiting for the inevitable failure.

Jez what a collection - i just love 911 gt and rs models dont see any 993 cars though - they can keep the italian trash though !!

id bet its the alarm sticker thats fitted to the rear quarter glass!!

its funny how things come around again Years ago i was offered a set of these for £60 and a set has appeared near to me for £450 complete and i must admit they do look good on a mk2 golf (better than a corrado!)

Thats it Keyo and yes of course the centre caps are worth more than alloys now

5 stud is different i believe - mine had a sticker on the inside with blue writing beginning with the usual 191?
