Mine was hit by a Volvo V50 on the A38 at Trerulefoot. At least there is a chance of it going somewhere that known's what the car is.

This is mainly for anyone in the Plymouth area. Last week my rado was rear ended quite badly and is about to be written off so it may appear, in a car breakers in the next few weeks. Its a 96 Aqua Blue VR6 with leather interior and heated seats. The hatch, bumper, rear panel and front passenger seat were all broken in the shunt. Would be good if someone off the forum got it to keep a few others going.

Had a very similar issue it was the cap with mine. Seal wasn't gone, the valve was stuck open and the system did not pressurise, as soon as the water hit boiling point it dumped a load of water out the overflow. Spent £10 on a genuine replacement. Its worth a try for the cost of a replacement.

Toad and Cobra (Had both) are good and if you get them fitted they are Thatcham approved. Cost me about £400 for my corrado and with the install certificate insurance companies like them.

Personally i would go with good quality bulbs driven by relays, If my memory has not let me down you can go to about 100 watts without to much trouble legally,or creating to much heat and damaging the light unit. I can understand about problems with night vision i used to have a car with 4 x 100 watt spotlights which came on with main beam. When you went to dipped beam it was like turning the lights out.

How would you want paying?

The "what went wrong with my Corrado today" thread
Mr Edd replied to huggy's topic in General Car Chat
Might be the start of it going,but I use it a lot and it has not happened since. I was thinking the control system got its self in mess and thought it was closed even though it was open. -
Had a great one today absolutely nothing. Just got to drive.

Corrado virgin, is the storm edition worth the extra premium?
Mr Edd replied to maximusiv's topic in General Car Chat
I have not long bought my first Corrado and faced the same problem myself. I would go for a VR6 with a leather interior. Other than that Condition is the most important thing. If it helps i went down the non storm route and have not regretted it. Personally keep the extra money you would have spent until you have one for the unexpected once you have bought and a few nice bits eg headlight upgrades, new alarm etc. -
Dark Blue on the A361 going north out of Daventry. Was in the boring car.

Newbie Question I have to do both track rods on my VR6. Being new to Corrado's i had a look at the manual and it calls for the Rack to be removed. Is this anything to worry about ? Or is it a case of try this way and if its stuck in tight take the rack out.

Sunroof would not close using the switch. Closed it manually and now it works. Dont know what caused it but it works fine now. -

Hello Just bought my first Corrado. Its a VR6, i am loving so far but, as i have never had a VW before i have a couple of questions. Are there are any companies I should avoid or keep look out for. My car is missing a headlight washer is there any good resources for exploded views with part numbers for missing / broken parts.
