Fla got mine thank you again for this legand

Thanks buddy - really thank you. I am up in Aberdeen - and got some contact adhesive already will so the job fine.

Not sure if anyone else had this problem yet but Transair that sell the spray on adhesive recommended called yesterday to tell me Royal Mail have destroyed the adhesive as it is dangerous goods!! They are looking into couriers that will carry it for them but in the meantime cancelled my order.

Hi Fla - a set for me too please. Sent you a few pm's a while back - but been away, Thanks Smudge.

Can I have a set too please

Thanks Sean - I have sent Tom a PM to try one of his spare clocks - fingers crossed that will fix it and get the milage sorted out. Thanks for the milage correction info will google that and avoid any back street placed in Glasgow or Liverpool ;0) (I can say that have relatives in Glasgow!) Looking forward to getting this sorted!! The only other thing I can think of is the ignition barrel. I did have a while where the engine would turn over and cut out. I cleaned the plug on the ignition barrel and been perfect ever since? Hopefully the clock though. ---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ---------- Right - just back from auto electricians. They did take the clocks out found a fault with them but forgot to write the part number and put them back in. They took it for a drive and the fault has cleared. I have just been for a 30 minute drive and all well!! I will get some clocks as definitely the cause but sounds like it was just a bad connection. If I decide to sell whoever buys my car will be delighted I changed the senders, pump and sump at least someone will be happy :0) Thanks again for the quick replies!

Thanks for that - I might just get it back from them in the morning and go for a secondhand set. What it the story with the milage my car has done 115,000 miles the new (old) clocks will be different? Maybe I should go for new ones if I can get them 0 miles on the clocks with 2 carefull owners :0). I have all the old MOT's and have the service book so can prove the milage - might be a bit dodgy come next MOT? Hey Tom how much for a set of clocks? and what is the milage out of interest. Thanks again - Smudge ---------- Post added at 7:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 7:32 PM ---------- Just wondering how an Auto electrician can tell its the clocks without taking them out? Should be an interesting bill!!

Had an oil warning light and buzzer intermittently for a while and changed a few things thanks to the forum (see below). It has become less intermittent!! and much more annoying!!!! I booked it in with an auto electricians today in Aberdeen. They said (at 17:00 today) they have diagnosed it as the clocks and that some are still available from VW. VW can’t tell them without the part number. Before they take the clocks I wondered if anyone here knows if the part will be available. Don’t want to pay for them to take them out if I am going to have to get a second hand set? Is it just me or is it stupid that with the reg. and chassis number that VW can’t tell you if they have the part! My car is a 1995 storm. Stuff already done: I checked the pressure (fine), changed the senders and checked the connections and wiring I can see. I also changed the oil pump (when serviced and adding the 28V aluminium sump) as was planning to keep the car forever and that part was becoming obsolete. I have been thinking about selling my car I have had it for 10 years and spent in the last 4 years year over £10,000 on re spray, engine rebuild at Stealth, stainless system, brakes etc, etc. I stupidly drove a friends older 911 and have been having thoughts of a 911 or facelift boxster – my wife wouldn’t let me keep both :0) I should have told them to take the clocks out and check as from what I have read here not a big job – any help appreciated need to call them in the morning.

I need some clocks? probably just a wiring snag but want a spare set just incase when I take the dash apart! Thanks - Smudge

Nice one - Aberdeenshire is the place!!

Cool - no problem just let me know when you get paid. Thanks

Got my exhaust fitted - old one not in the best of shape no leaks but am sure can find a better one - sorry!

Thanks Asfi - just wanted my money back not trying to be gready and I have the plug, wiring and I info regarding what bits you need for nothing. Having said all that £180 and its yours:)

I have decided to sell my vdo pressure pod. I am terrible at electrics and was hoping to find a magical plug behind the dash but no joy. Since buying it I have had a bit of expense on my other car and also bought a dubpower exhaust system so can justify the extra cash in the gauges. I bought it from a member here who bought it from one of Pat's classic part buys. I did get as far as getting the plug for the back along with the wiring from VW and will included those free. Just looking to get my cash back £190 posted - thought I could see if anyone here would like it before ebay. They are new and unsed. Corrado forum wiring thread - http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?33405-vdo-oil-pressure-gauge-wiring&highlight=pressure+gauge Also Merlin Motorsport for the sender - Part No. - 360081030009C, VDO Oil Pressure Sender 10 Bar M10x1 W/C 0.5

Yep hopefully fitting the new one in a couple of days with a mechanic friend. When I do will take some pictures for you and let you know its condition. Smudge

Defo interested too. Thanks Smudge

Sound! like a sensible idea - hope my new exhaust not too loud!!

Hi have just fitted a 6 branch manifold and have ordered the cat back SS set up from dubpower. I bought my OEM exhaust 10 years ago and it cost around £500. It has surface rust and I have done about 35,000 miles with it on just fancied a slightly different sounds and the 6 branch manifold was going for a good price on here. What is the interest in OEM one - just the look or do you think they work better? Smudge.

Anyone know what these wire are for - I am terrible with electrics:) knowing my luck if I start messing with them I will start a fire!! Do older cars have the same few wires - very strange to have them hidden back there not doing anything - could they be aircon stuff? Thanks Smudge.

Thanks for the replies. I noticed the connectors were different but thought that might be to fit them through the rubber grommet in the top of the gap where the pod fits. Any idea what the wires are for - just curious now what they are for. Smudge.

I bought a vod gauge pod from a member on here (new one a while back from Pat - not used) and need a bit of help with the wiring. I have read all the posts on here and it seams that a few people mention late cars having the wiring for it behind the dash and I wondered/hope I have found the wires!! The wires are behind the ash tray and look like they go to a terminal block that is not attached to anything which made me think it could be the wires I need. The pictures are taken from the drivers and pax. footwell. Any thoughts that I might be on the right track? Thanks Smudge

I'll take it Mate - sent you a pm.
