  1. Yeah you can have them 28mm and 37mm or whatever lol I take it the daily is a dub too? 57.1mm centre bore?
  2. Would probably be about £90 inc postage mate, they use standard radius seat vw bolts to bolt to the hub, you would have to supply your own bolts
  3. I can get some made but they would be steel so fairly heavy, if that isn't a problem let me know :)
  4. I should be up for a group buy if it comes along within the next few months or so, the yellow Samco's on mine don't really do it for me!
  5. I've never been a fan of badges, I usually take them off so it doesn't really bother me, but for people who like to have the badges on its bad news when you have to resort to things like that Jim I might hide mine away for a few years lol
  6. I've got a passat passenger side de-locked handle and matching lock striker thing, that's my technical term for the latching bit on the side of the door ;) £20 if its any use to you mate, only in Billingham
  7. Ok guys, I appreciate the input and will be having a look at the points you've mentioned I am a little confused though, the things you have mentioned, surely these would cause an issue all the time, not just the first 2-3 minutes of cold idling? I'm not saying you guys are wrong, It just doesn't quite add up to me that's all I should get a chance to check a few things tomorrow :) Edit: Cazza, the PCV valve, is that just a one way valve? It has a 2 pin plug on it, I'm assuming that is just a heater in case of the valve freezing up?
  8. Payment recieved will be in the post ASAP :)
  9. I wasn't sure about the breather tbh, I didn't think it would miss a bit of hot sticky air lol ISV looks new yes, not sure on brand I will check tomorrow, I'll also have a look for leaks, is a spray bottle of water the best method to find small leaks do you think?

    R32 Corrado

    I know places that'll do MOT's without even seeing the car!
  11. Thanks floppyman I will check vagcom again over the weekend and make a note of the full fault description for lambda and ISV This is what the breather looked like I've tidied it up and blocked the hole in the intake elbow properly, also temporarily relocated the crappy little filter to the bottom of the subframe with a longer hose until I sort a catch can, it was spewing out quite a bit of oil vapour and covering everything! I've tried playing about with the MAF plug and it doesn't make any difference unless fully disconnected.
  12. I've got one, BNIB £85 delivered
  13. Hi Guys, I bought this VR a few weeks ago, it had been stored for a year because of this issue and the guy didn't think it was reliable enough for him to use as a daily. He had a garage take a look and they replaced the ISV(tried a couple of them i believe) as well as new plugs and leads. I've given it an oil and filter change(£60's worth :shock:), cone filter and changed the blue CTS, also have a fuel filter to fit but not got around to it yet. Whilst changing the CTS I replaced the coolant, after filling it up whilst I was squeezing the rad pipes i've noticed a metallic clanking noise so it needs a new thermostat now too! Here is a video of the issue Basically it does this whenever started after being left for a couple of hours, as the video shows after revving it a couple of times it stops hunting and settles to a slightly rough idle, if you let the revs drop too quick it will stall, but only during the first minute or two of running, after that its fine although the idle is still a little rougher than i'd expect. Vagcom shows ISV and Lambda faults, although i'm wondering if the ISV could be a wiring issue due to the fact the garage tried changing it and it had no effect? I've started buying parts to drop in a 24v after all the xmas stuff is done, so don't really want to spend too much money on it but it would be nice to get it running better for the next 3 months or so. When up to temp i've tried unplugging the MAF, the engine note changes but it doesn't stall like a lot of people say it should, should unplugging the MAF really cause the engine to cut out?? Thanks for taking the time to read my essay(and hopefully reply )
  14. Yeah it's the last one for a while mate!
  15. No worries mate :) I'm afraid not, I'm at work :(
  16. Lmao I've got a motor you can try if you want before you buy one mate, I'm not selling it though cos I'm gonna put it in the VR with the moonroof I think Just drop me a pm if you wanna pop over one day to try it
  17. :shades: I'm not saying anything
  18. I've got one in the 92 9a I'm starting to break, it's a late spec car if that makes any difference, if that's any good for you £25 inc p&p Cheers
  19. Cheers, I'll have a look at that :) I don't want to fit wind deflectors lol My other corrado doesn't do it so why should I be happy with the VR doing it :-/
  20. Mine does it from about 25mph all the way up until the window rattles so much I have to close it(must fit those new window rollers!) Everything seems to be fitted correctly :(, might try and stick a bit of tape over where the non painted bit meets the painted cap, see if that identifys the problem area! Winter is just around the corner anyway so I can probably forget about it for a few months lol
  21. Anyone else have this problem? As OP as soon as I put my hand between the mirror and door the noise disappears, my old valves didn't do it but the VR does and it's really quite annoying!
