Thanks for the advise, do you know the best way to synchronise the motor and mechanism?

Afternoon all. I have a problem on my 96 vr6 sunroof where the roof will only slide only less than a centimetre at a time, it initally opens approx 4 centimetres OK before this behaviour happens in both directions. Tilt is fine. I have been reading all the sunroof problem threads I thought the motor may be weak so I got a replacement. Can anyone advise me on the correct procedure for fitting the new motor. Is it a simple case of with the sunroof closed take the old motor out and fit the new motor? Thanks for your advise in advance. :cheers: Rich

Thanks, it took me a while to find, eventually found it tucked away in the auto trader and only 20 miles away, bonus! The seats are heated and they work too. I have read up on the sunroof problem and think it's the motor, no scratches on the sunroof paintwork and relays clicking but sunroof sliding a centimetre before stopping and tilt works. Must be worth trying first I guess at £20 for a working Mk3 Golf motor. I also have the abs sensor and going to fit that this weekend, I will be a happy bunny if I manage to fix these problems for under £40! :dance: ---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ---------- BTW, anybody got any tips for abs wheel sensor removal/replace with new part? Thanks :scratch: Can I just clip on the new sensor to the abs lead before removing/damaging the old sensor to see if the fault has cleared?

Hi all, I'm new here so I thought I'd introduce myself. I have just bought a Corrado after a while not owning a VW. I used to drive MK1 Sciroccos and thought a Corrado must be next step. So after a while of looking I found a very original Blackberry vr6 with black leather and only 81k on the clock with history to back that up. I spent this weekend going over the car, trying to get to the bottom of it's problems and giving a cut and polish, whilst working on the car I can't help notice the similar lines of the Mk1 Scirocco. It's problems... The previous owner said the mirrors haven't worked since he owned it, a strip down of the controls, some electrical contact cleaner and some vaserline sort that out. Next the ABS light... I have been going through the forums and have been reading about all the problems and diagnosis techniques, I think it's a wheel sensor so ordered one and have been spraying wd40 on the old one in preperation to replace. I'm going to leave the sunroof until the winter, when the car will be dry stored so I can spend some time getting it right. Here are some pictures of the car after two days work...
