  1. I want to make a back bark to the luggage-carrier. what timber to use and with what to cover?
  2. I have steering wheel but I can not understand is it correctry this model for my car. Is the ring must be exactly for Corrado or may be universal? Can I buy only the horn button for the wheel because I haven't? What's the difference between MOMO and other non wheels?
  3. what about 2: 185/55 and 2: (back one) 195/50 ? is that would be better? that's original?
  4. Why the front one of my Corrado (1.8i 16V) must be 185/55 VR15 and the second 195/50 VR15? This must be the original sizes? What's this 81V and 82V? (when you open the left door you see them - about sizes)
  5. You say that get Bridgestone and Good Year for about 50 evro... In my country they are min 100 evro for piece! And I'm gonna buy BFGoodrich G-force Profiler. What you will say about him? So 195/50 VR15 are the original for 1.8i 16V Corrado right?
  6. Is there a bulb (lamp) into the second small ash-tray?
  7. I had another two holes for speakers on my door bark. When I fill them with what to cover? I have enough black skin... What will happen if I stick it on the old one (the fabric). If anyone have any suggestion how the cover the door bark pls to say...
  8. I'm wondering because I see that only VR6 of all Corrados is with 205/50 and I don't know will they be too heavy for the 1.8i 16V ?
  9. What summer tires to buy to my 1.8i 16V? 195/50 or 205/50 for 15" wheels?
  10. Mine mex. connector is for new. I don't know what to do. To change only the Ferodo or the whole set? What to do?
  11. My question to all is: Is your sensor of the cooling fans is like mine? Mine starts on 1 st 88 (slow) and 2 nd on 92 degrees (fast).
  12. The man that sold me my car (1.8i 16V) told me that I must never drive it on 1st gear over 5000 turnover. When I drive it like that I'm gonna crash the engine. That is typically for all Corrados. Is that true? Unless the pointer come to red zone I think there is not such a problem? But I know that 1 st gear is only to start. Why only 16V Corrados are with 8000 turnover? turnover - a motor with revolutions
  13. When I turn it off it runs only 2-3 mins...
  14. my car: 1.8i 16V (with auto air conditioning) Before I write about my problem (that my car go to 110 degrees water temp) now I fixed it. The problem was that the sensor of the cool fans starts too late (1 st on 100 degrees and 2 nd ot 110 degrees). Now I buy a new (they told me it's universal of all vw's) that starts on 1 st 88 and 2 nd on 92 degrees. And my car now go to traffic (in the city) to 92/93 max 94 degrees! Is that now the normal water temperature! And is it normal every time when I drive it in the city my fans to starts. Will the motor (of the fans) stand! Is this normal when I turn it off to hear how the fans works (1st the fast one then the slow one). I buy one motor with 2 fans (with strap) from Passat.
  15. I bought my Corrado with 15" original wheels and with Dunlop Winter Sport tires (195/50). Now I have to buy a new summer tires? I'm wondering to buy 205/50 (like onVR6). Will it be better with theese? What make tires to buy? Dunlop?
  16. Except that when you drive it with A98 it is faster is there another difference? Is A95 "damage" the engine or something like that...?
  17. I find this information: A total of 97,521 Corrados were manufactured, of which approx. 9000 were imported into the UK. Is that right?
  18. How many fans have 1.8i 16V with electronic climate control? One or two? And does the run-out cover the whole radiator?
  19. Today I talk with one guy with Corrado (G60). He told me that 110 degrees are not problem and is usual for Corrado (no matter what engine). He told me also that the Corrado (no matter with air condioning) have one FAN and the run-out did not cover the whole radiator. Is that true?
  20. My car: Corrado 1.8i 16V 136 HP with air-conditioning (electron climate control) The reason why my car is going 110 degrees (water) in the city is that she have only one (not original?) ventilator. The run-out is too small for the radiator and the ventilator can not cooled the car. My question is: is my car (with air-condition) must have 2 ventilators. What's the original? What ventilators can fit to my car (from Audi, Seat...)? I want to buy them from old cars (they are too expensive).
  21. My Corrado is 1.8i 16V 136 HP. I have this problem: When I drive the car in the city she go to 110 degrees. When I drive it out the city she go to 80 degrees and there are no problems. Why the car is warming up? Before a few days my vane (fan) has broken. They told me that his motor (of the vane) is broken. But when the vane (fan) was ok the car was still warming up. What is the problem?
  22. I'm from Bulgaria, Europe. I bought the car from Italy. in the web sites I find this Information: The 1.8 16v Corrado was made solely for the UK and Italian markets and the first available Right Hand Drive (RHD) version of the Corrado to be available in the UK. This model Corrado uses the Bosch K-Jetronic continuous injection type of fuelling system. This model can only really run on 98RON super unleaded as the engine cannot be adjusted for 95RON unless you fit something like a K-Star injection/timing kit. And I feel difference when I drive it with 98 and 95. What can u tell me more?
