Heres some details about the car. Comes with 6 months tax and 12 months MOT.

My driver's door handle has decided to break tonight , found the lever has broken off the back as usual so ordered a repair kit for it, but also found another clip on the barrel that has fallen apart? Anyone know where i could get one from or has anyone got one spare? Pic is below... ... http://the-corrado.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=48981&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1314876249

Funny really, i got pulled the other night for the exact same thing as i was running pressed plates with the german mark on the side (D) which the original owner had fitted. Luckily he let me off as he was too busy looking round the car commenting how you don't see many on the road any more, just told me to get some legit ones fitted :)

Just been reading this thread and seems like everything is ok now by the looks of things? And that it be worth me just uprating the wiring!? http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?30900-Charging...

Right made a bit more progress now. Put a spare battery on the car and it now starts ok and appears to hold charge (find out in the morning). However checked the charging system and something still isn't right. Discovered that the main battery lead to the starter motor was loose, so tightened that up, and also found the main lead to the alternator appeared to be corroded on the connector, so cut it back and put a new end on and then retested it. Charging appears to be alot better now, but as soon as things are switched on, i.e lights, heater etc, the charging drops. This makes me think that the voltage stabiliser isn't working, to up the charge rate when more load is put on? Checked the little wire going to the alternator, and with just the ignition on, I get 1.4V, then with the engine running i get 14.1V, whilst at the big lead on the alternator I get roughly 13.9V, and at the battery approx 13.8V. Is that right? I have also run a separate earth from the head to the alternator in case it wasn't earthing properly but doesn't appear to have done anything

Right well jumped started it this morning as it was flat again (neighbours love me) got myself to work no probs and switched off. Left it for 10mins max and had already dropped to 10.3V. So carried out a battery test and discovered that it has a bad cell, which isprobably why it won't take charge properly. Going to get the battery changed and then recheck the charging system

Oh I will mate, I'll post up my findings tomorrow, whether it be that I've cured it, or if I'm just as confused lol

Yeah when i checked the charging earlier with everything on and found it was only charging at 12.9-13V then i knew there definitely was a problem, and it was still dropping then aswell. I'll check that starter wire tomorrow then aswell and i'll also stick my battery on charge and test it aswell. Appreciate the help

Crap! :scratch: i'll have to see if i can borrow one, never used one before lol. The new battery is about 2-3 weeks old, going to battery test it tomorrow to make sure all the cells are ok. What i can't work out is why at the alternator i was getting 14V approx which dropped a bit as the engine warmed up, but at the battery was alot lower and kept dropping? The big terminal on the back of the alternator did look a bit dirty so may clean that up to make sure its a good connection, same with the little wire aswell

Mine tests to 20A, so i'm guessing that won't be enough considering most alternators are 65A rating?

Actually just realised i put the wrong measurement down.....my bad, its actually 8-7mm and 6-5mm oops sorry lads

How many amps should it put out roughly? my multimeter measures amps aswell so could do a check tomorrow, struggling with no light tonight :( ---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ---------- What should they be? Wheres the best place to get new bushes from? Its a bosch unit

Right just been out and jump started it so as i can get some readings now. Checked charging at the battery when idling and its 13.6V but slowly drops. When the revs are raised it goes up a lil bit but not a lot, then drops again once the revs are let off. Checked charging at the alternator and found it be charging at 14.04V, but does drop slowly. Also checked the little wire aswell and found thats got a permanent 14.05-14.1V, haven't checked the wire though, only the stud sticking out. Took the brushes out aswell and measured one at approx 0.8-0.7mm and the other at approx 0.5-0.6mm ---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ---------- Also did a drain check by taking the negative lead off with all the doors shut and everything off and found its only draining 0.015A, which can't really be enough to drain a battery can it?

Hoping someone can give a little advice on this. Not had my G60 all that long, and after a couple of weeks found the battery had died one night when leaving work. So i fitted a new battery, its a Varta Blue heavy duty one, and checked the charging system and found it to be working fine. Been using the car for the past few weeks no problems. However tonight before leaving work i put my lights on for approx 5 mins without the engine running whilst changing a bulb, then when i went to start the battery had dropped to 10V so wouldn't crank the engine over. Jump started it and got it running and then checked the charging at the battery again and found now to only be charging at 13.4V. Switched the lights on and stereo etc and its charging at 13.2V and if i put all the lights on and wipers with the heater blower it only charges at 12.9-13V. The heavens then decided to open so went inside til it stopped so i could do some more checks etc. Left the car for approx 30mins and the battery has already dropped to 10.4V and now won't start again! Obviously my first reaction is that the alternator is knackered, however not been able to check charging at the alternator yet, hoping to do so tomorrow to confirm my thoughts. Guessing that as the battery isn't holding charge now, that where the alternator has only been trickle charging it for a little while now that it may have knackered it possibly? Going to test it tomorrow and put it on charge to see if it'll hold that. The car does have an aftermarket immobiliser fitted and i've fitted my alpine headunit, which i've noticed when i insert the key into the ignition (without turning it) the stereo fires up, whereas my mk4 golf i had previously i had to put the ignition on to power up the stereo and would then only go off once the key was removed? Is this normal on corrado's? Any help is appreciated as its doing my head in :scratch:

It's not just a simple t-piece unfortunately as it's also a reducer where it goes to different sizes. I have been told there should be another part number for a part that is still available, but where my local dealer didn't really want too help I only found this out today. Going to be ringing another dealer tomorrow and see if they can hopefully be more help to me, as by the looks of it I could also do with hard plastic servo pipe that comes out of the reducer t-piece as it's been taped up also

Anyone? Should've said its for a G60 engine

After the inlet manifold vacuum reducer t-piece, part no. 037 133 783 C VW have discontined these and mines been gaffer taped up. Can anyone help?

thats cool mate, be good to look round yours properly as didn't see it properly at the peterborough meet

Not sure to be honest mate, all depends on the turnout really, but can PM you my number if you want and just drop us a txt/call to see if we're still there

This sunday people :dance:

i'll see about getting it booked in for a full alignment this week

Started stripping the G60 tonight to replace the N/S inner cv boot and the N/S gearbox oil seal. Been the told that the gearbox fitted is a CTN gearbox, and the driveshaft flange was bolted on, however the bolt was tight at all, not even sure that it was done up!! The flange is springloaded, so pushed it in and did the bolt up as tight as i could. Anyone else had this?? Also to remove the driveshaft i removed the two bolts that hold the hub to the shock absorber, however the minute i undid them the hub moved. When putting it back together i noticed that when the bolts are refitted, the hub can still be moved back and forth quite easily. Are they meant to be like this so the camber can be adjusted, or has the previous owner fitted the wrong bolts and it should actually be a tight fit? Any help is appreciated
