Yes! PM me your details. :)

Parts still here. Need these gone now.

Very interesting. So to confirm, MK2 Golf braces for all around? The rear brace, such as the Trimsport style or the drilled/welded - pretty much a straight bars don't really do anything? Surely they must stop lateral role of the body shell from side to side? I must at least hold the two corners together and stop some flex? Whilst we are on the subject whats people's opinions on the front lower braces? I've fitted them to Polo's before with huge gains; but they didn't have a subframe.

Yeah, ideally it's the trimsport/trimsport copy I'm after. There are always MK2 and MK3 ones popping up for sale; but I'm unsure which one will fit.

I've had a really good search but I can't find a definitive answer. What upper rear strut braces fits the Corrado? Will a MK2 or MK3 item fit? I know MK2's fit up front, I'm unsure about the rear. Thanks

Ballsy, I wouldn't trust cutting and re-threading anything brake related.

As above. On my loom it was a duplicate feed. The black/red wire went into W plug then a second wire came from the same plug location with a single terminal on it. I purely checked for a brake light live feed using a multi-metre on all the loose single terminals behind the fusebox.

Forbes set up a demonstration. Obviously the hackers spent hours setting it up, but it shows its plausible.

Left of the oil filler cap. It fastens to the back of the head in two places and the threaded hole sits horizontal facing upwards. The threaded hole is what the HT lead cover screws into.

I've been noticing lately a lot of Corrado's for sale around the £3.5k mark. Are Corrado prices on the rise?

From a late post '95 MK3 Golf or a late 95-ish B4 Passat. The Passat is a straight swap, the Golf requires some modding and/or some parts from the B4 Passat. Have a quick search, its been discussed a few days ago and I posted pretty much everything you need to know. I'm on my phone at the moment so can't find it.

What kind of info are you after?

That's how it read, I just wasn't sure! Thanks for clarifying!

Right, just to confirm, everyone pays now or do we only pay when our batch is ready to order? Being at the bottom of the pile I don't want to pay up only to have to wait 6 months or anything?

As above really. You'll need all the correct running gear so the sensors fit etc. stub axels, abs rings, hub carriers. Whether or not the 4-stud is specific I don't know. As for the ABS system I can't recommend the later Teves20 system enough. Found on late MK3 golfs and late B4 Passats. No Corrado came with it but they can be retro fitted easily enough. If you have a blank canvas I would do this route. It's a 4-way system (all four corners independent) compared to the Corrado ABS which is 3-way (rear is combined) its smarter, faster, lighter, uses less mechanical parts, has a larger pump for better feel and spare parts are easier and cheaper to find. Also comes with EDL under 30mph.

And why is the 2.0 8v higher group than the 1.8 16v? And the G60 the same as the 2.0 16v? It makes me wonder if the people in charge of classifying cars actually know anything about cars in the first place?

Blue temp sensor? MAF? I believe (someone tell me if I'm wrong) that the MAF controls the fuelling when cold and then the lambda kicks in?

You gotta take the rough with the smooth sometimes! Owning a storm isn't all benefits!

What model Corrado do you have? Why do you want ABS? I personally prefer the pedal feel with non-abs.

The loom has to be from a Passat too; they are different to the Golfs. Just a heads up. You're best off looking for a Passat breaker.

I did exactly the same. MK4 GTi 288's up front, MK4 estate rears (larger piston), braided hoses and then the Teves20. It just feels better and has better bite. You can use the Golf ABS light to make sure everything works as it should for the time being, it'll throw up codes without the light. Just make sure the Passat light and loom is from a late B4 with the double suffix part number (single suffix is the early part) - I went through three until I got the right one. They are hard to get hold of. I contacted so many people breaking Passats with no luck, then "Zed." on UKPassats posted me one for free! What a hero!

Yeah, I had easy access to a welder so I simply cut the original Corrado bracket so I retained the three studs and welded it to the back of the Golf bracket. Alternatively I couldn't see why a decent nut and bolt arrangement and cutting three well positioned holes in the golf bracket not working? That was my back up plan. Just to confirm its a late mk3 VR6 ABS system right? Teves20? As for tips: *You need a late Passat B4 ABS light and ABS light loom (single loom going from ABS light to position X in fusebox - Plug and Play). The Corrado one will not work correctly - The lights always on and dimly at that - there is no way to reverse it. The Golf one works but is too big to fit in the Corrado Dash and the circuit board is too wide to make it fit. The Passats light is the same size as the Corrado's so you can simply swap the fascia's so it looks original. Look for the ABS/Airbag duel light and it HAS to have the double suffix after the part number such as "AB" - The single suffix (such as "A") works the same way as the Corrado light. *You can use a Passat Servo, ABS or non-ABS with the Golf M/C. Which I would recommend so you can remove the need for the position sensor. *You can retain your original front speed sensors and the Golf loom plugs right in. *You need either 6n2, late Passat B4 or late MK3 golf rear sensors. I used MK3 golf, although I had to extend the wiring some what; But I feel that was my error for routing the ABS loom within the car. Wiring: grey/white (Pin 16) - Goes to fusebox plug W2 which I believe is for the ABS warning light. grey/white (Pin 13) - Is the diagnostic connector which goes to the diagnostic block behind the centre console. black/red (Pin 12) - Goes to fusebox plug W4 which is connected to the brake light switch - There is also a same coloured wire coming out at the W4 connection going to a single female terminal which you also connect if you have it - That'll connect to a single terminal at the fusebox which is a brake light feed (i.e. live when the brake lights are on) - it's a grey or green terminal (different colours to the Golf loom anyway). black/yellow (Pin 23) - This goes to fusebox plug D7 (via a single terminal I believe) which is an ignition live. Connected to the W plug is a blue/white wire (W1) which is a VSS feed and plugs into the VSS block. As far as I'm aware it's plug and play, no real messing about other than tidying up. Thinking about it I may have spliced the black/yellow wire because on the Corrado it's a solid wire and on the Golfs loom it's a terminal, or vise-versa. Simple enough. And thats it. Simple as that. Oh, don't forget to remove your rear brake compensator. The Teves20 system works the rear pressure within the pump/ecu.

Just did this in mine. I ended up welding the Golf ABS bracket to the Corrado bracket as a simple fix. Any questions shoot away.

Pm'd

I have. Genuine. Only one though. I removed it as I've upgraded my ABS and my current system use different sensors. It's from a late (dec) 1993 VR6. Fully working and vagcom tested upon removal. It was removed about 6 weeks ago. Erm.. £20 posted?
