    I would have thought you'd remove the lining if its the original corrado one as it doesn't slide Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

    I'd say to anyone planning to do this, do it, like tom said it really lights it up inside But Tom, I was rushed putting mine in because I had a hour window of no rain to do the swap so I didn't use any washers and its sat fine and no wind noise, even on the motorway... I don't know if its quite, or I'm used to my old noisy uncovered sunroof so this is silent in comparison lol Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
  3. I'm having the same debate, I know that doesn't help but I think I'm gonna go with the subtle tint, from some of the pics on their site they look pretty good Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

    So I did it, really did choose the wrong day to do it, but it was sunny in the morning here so it seemed like a good idea, then it lashed it down all day till it had a little break, enough to finish the job thought I would include some pics for anyone who's considering it and wants to know how they look, not tested how loud it is though [ATTACH=CONFIG]60001[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]60005[/ATTACH]
  5. I'll look at the repair guide proper tomorrow when I'm more awake, I do like the mk4 heater controls, they suit it well, how much hassle were they to fit? Just had a quick look on eBay and there's loads of MK4 heater controls, seems like the better option if it's easy enough to swap Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
  6. There you go mate, pretty broke isn't it :banghead: Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
  7. Someone has snapped off the blower speed settings bit, then taped it back on, but it's working intermittently which was alright, till I really needed to demist the other night and I couldn't get it to turn on at all :-( it doesn't have to be a new one though, just working. I tried to fix it again but I don't understand how it works, as it's not how much contact it's making that adjusts the speed, if you know what I mean I'll post a pic when I get back from ASDA

    Will do, I can't wait to get it in, the runners have snapped on one side on mine since I got the car, so i've never had a working sunroof, but now i'll have one working and glass... not that it's being used much with the crap weather hahaha I did like you said though, I compared the motors and the Corrado one is much larger than the Passat one and from the sounds of it, has a lot more power as well

    cheers Tom wasn't sure about the fitting but i'll pick up some washers on the way home today, so you used your original motor? The guy has sent me a motor with this and it has the same connection as the original, think I should do the same and use my original motor or swap it for the one he sent me? Also, does the interior cover match your Corrado's trim?
  10. I know this is probably a long shot being they've been deleted but has anyone got a set of late spec heater controls for sale?... now for the long shot, cheap if possible? All the ones I find on eBay are going for £100... I presume this is because they're not a deleted part. cheers

    Hi all I'm sure this has probably been covered before but the search didn't bring up what I was looking for so I thought i'd ask. I know the Passat B3 sunroofs are a direct swap for the Corrado's, but I was reading on the Corrado Canada's forum that they're more a direct fit for the early type. so my question is, as i've been offered one, will a B4 Passat 94' sunroof mech fit into my 93' Corrado VR6? Before I go buying it and find I have problems which could have been avoided cheers
  12. Yea, i'd kinda figure that might be the case so I was having a browse for some, I need a good one in the Manchester area cheers though man
  13. alright guys hoping someone on here with some wisdom might be able to shed some light on this recently purchased my first VR... it's had a few niggles on it that i've been waiting for summer to sort out, one being the alarm/central locking. I have the cert for a Sigma M800 fitted alarm, but the actual alarm in the bay is a Gemini, which I have the key for and have a fob for it somewhere, but I turned it on and tried the Gemini fob and all it did was make the indicators flash, it doesn't turn it on/off or lock the car. Then I also have another fob... which is a Meta fob and a fob for the immobiliser... which works. Anyone got any insight in to what I could do to get it working? or where I can take it? Included some pics for what it's worth cheers [ATTACH=CONFIG]56389[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]56393[/ATTACH]
  14. ok, I'll let you know mate, I'm in Manchester as well so it will probably be easier to sort out me picking it up or something wouldn't it, rather than letting parcel force handle it lol
  15. quite possibly, how much do you want for it? cheers
  16. hey Guys Probably a silly question this but I thought i'd ask anyways, I'm going to buy a second inlet manifold to polish up, so i've been searching around and found some, but my question is I know there were differences between the OBD1/OBD2 inlets for the sensors etc... but what about size? I have found one that is OBD1 but it might be off a Golf, if it's off the AAA engine, will it be any smaller to go with the smaller displacement of the engine? or they the same bar the change in engine management any help would be great
  17. I know yea, it's awesome that everyone on here isn't the same as they can be on other forums... has to be OEM, or it gets hated on
  18. kept my old set of Speedlines for that reason, so i'm not limited to one set... I love it with Speedlines, but I wanted a change, every Corrado I see has them on... probably for that reason you said though, but i'm loving these for the time being haha that did cross my mind the day after I put them on :D ---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ---------- cheers man
  19. cheers everyone I was debaiting getting some coilovers fairly soon so I can lower it a bit more on them, one thing I do love about them... they're massively wide, so no need for spacers and they sit flush with the arch. coullstar, how much have you lowered yours by? yours is sat perfect on them, and where'd you source the VW caps for them hahaha
  20. Just thought i'd post these and get everyone's opinions on them, my mate had these spare, so I nabbed them off him, and with a bit of messing with the the right tyres I managed to get them on the other day. I can't decide if they're too big or not, sometimes I look and they look high, then I catch a glimpse in a reflection and they look spot on. [ATTACH=CONFIG]51047[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]51048[/ATTACH]
  21. Can I get one of these stickers? cheers
  22. If you could Jay that would be great, you're up towards Alderly Edge way aren't you? it would be great if I could have it working for next summer... not that we see much sun in Manchester anyways but it's nice to have aircon there if I need it, i'll see if I can lend a friends Tomtom this week and try and get up your way at some point
  23. right then, does look like mine was damaged when it had a bump, I was debating taking it to an Aircon specialist as well to make sure there's nothing else missing as well and it is just the condenser I need. Cheers for all the info though guys
  24. wondering if anyone could shed some light onto this... not a problem, but something I wouldn't mind sorting. I recently got my first VR6, and its had Air con at some point, the switches are still there and the compressor is still on, but one of the pipes off the compressor has been cut. I don't have a clue about Aircon, but its had a front knock @ some point and my mechanic says its had a standard Rad put on and needs one with aircon but I can't find one anywhere Is he right about the rad? and anyone any ideas on where I could source one, or does the MK3 Golf Rad work because I know they did come with Aircon standard? any helps would be great
  25. seen a really nice blue G60 near Trafford Centre today, looked like you was going towards the Chill Factor... anyone on here?
