    Hopefully someone will come up with a solution with a repair kit of some form. Mine still works and i did strip and clean it with the correct lube etc but to me it still struggles and when i use it (once a year with our weather) i await the dreaded failure. One thing i did was to replace the rubber ends on the arms (im sure it was on this forum) to ensure the arms lift as they slide along the mechanism 9

    seen it ands in in my ebay watch list surprised it has not gone as it has been on a while - maybe its not a great duration as we all know most motorsport cams do not make great everyday road use

    Wow Keyo How on earth did you find out about those gearbox parts i would have thought those parts would have been confined to history and anything available today will have used, abused and generally fit for scrap How did you even get through the door at gemini !! Cant wait for the build Who is doing the build for you?

    if i can remember these things pop and bang when you come of the pedal (clue is in the name) and you can be heard several streets away before you arrive i always remember them being attached to vauxhall novas for some reason

    Looks a very good example there someone has put a lot of effort in that one for sure i am not a great lover of the bbs splits to be honest in general - to much effort to clean and maintain Dubshed is the biggest VAG show here with plenty of cars from all over the island turning up (no show last year and i doubt one this year also with the covid nightmare) Plenty of trailer queens also with some owners with deep pockets

    Is there any difference in golf and corrado vr6 cams Part numbers show a different figure at the end

    i had a look at one several weeks ago and completely agree on the alloys - look a bit naff to be honest everyone is just waiting on the R as far as i can see cant help but think the gti will be in its shadow for the foreseeable future

    why ?? for not that much more you would be able to buy a running driving car at least?? maybe he or she has seen it in the flesh and know its a decent car
  21. ger040
    Thats a good tip there - have not seen that before by the way owning old vw's can drive us all to drink!!
  22. ger040
    ah is it door cards!!
  23. ger040
    clue?
  24. ger040
    at a guess to create some type of membrane - the entire underside of your car to help keep the dreaded salt at bay??
  25. ger040
    Been looking at that car on ebay myself - curious to see what it goes for You will need to see that car in the flesh before bidding as it could be an absolute rot box as you say keyo No idea of mileage , early vr6 seats also
