looks like a short fat crossfire http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/st ... 32,00.html Rob

they need a respray when they chip you can seen the yellowish primer below so i think i can of paint will sort it ,no idea what colour silver vw use on their wheels Rob

this feed for the ashtray light will be 12v ,you need to reduce the voltage from 12 down too somewhere near 5volts a little over won't make any differance ,the cheapest way to do this is with a resistor from one of the big radio spares companies like "maplins or radio shack " don't wire 12v directly to your mp3 player it will just go bang Rob

and we complain about our MOT glad our test is not that tight my mate would borrow wheels and tyres to get an MOT then put his worn ones back on until pay day ,many years ago i may add things you do when your kids Rob

why not bond some plastic arches on for the test then remove them later ,must be boarder line out of the arches ,flaring metal arches will not be cheap and will need painting afterwards this way you have a year to sort it out mk2 golf arches may do the trick no pretty but only for the test rob

out side temp sender for the mfa clips into a hole in the top of the r'h brake cooling ducting Rob

no syncromesh on reverse i dont think ,clutch may be tacty a little first thing in the morning and draging or maybe the clutch needs bleading and as said above new oil is away a good thing ,does it happen after a short drive if not just put new oil in and get into the habit of engaging 1st before putting it in reverse Rob

rev counter is for a 6 cylinder so at will missread , rev counter pick up on coil pluses 4 cyl pluse every 90 deg 6 cly every 60 deg so it should read one third over sorry won't work you can get it recalibrated but not worth it as lots of g60 clocks out there Rob

the most annoying thing about this is dare i say it "it's more than likely a fellow corrado owner replacing his (they wot fit anything else )and because his has been nicked by someone else " it's a mad world we live in ,all we can hope is they broke it putting it on their car and they get caught by a six foot nine rugby player when they try to pinch another Rob

No end plates are mostly alloy but body rusts so will be ferrous black part in this pic http://www.samarins.com/glossary/starter.html as for alternators depends what type you have this type has the outside of the magnet exposed pic top right http://www.premierpowerwelder.com/specs/200amp.html this type has an all alloy casing http://www.autoshop101.com/digitalphoto ... nator.html hope that makes sense Rob

you can get an adaptor from most motor factors costs about £3-£4 Rob

i live about 12 miles from one of clubgti so called discount dealers my mate phoned up to price a cluch for his cabby got a good quote of £90 or so went down to pick it up shows his clubcard asks for the offered 10% discount and was told its already been taken off , strange that until he'd shown the clubcard he'd never mentioned clubgti need less to say he contacted clubgti and as of 6 months later hes still wait for a reply i will name the dealer if requested but this post is not ment to be a slur on them but a comment about the GREAT deal we have all been getting for our £25 Rob

if your using the tool the little pins are set so they only catch one way but from memory its clock wise looking from the piston face (the face that contacts the back of the pads0 rob

who would go to all that trouble to put a corrado back end on a passat :drinking: Rob :D

your not the only one jay i got a letter today telling me about their changes to the set up and the intention to reduce the membership fee to £10 per year,dropping the hard copy of the rabbit going more internet based and giving me the chance to object ,they have been clever about the way the letter is worded as you have to reply to object and as most of those that would object can't be bothered to reply anyway as i said above hope they pull it off but they won't be having any more of my money sorry Rob

i think light colours show the lines better :) Rob

i'm a member of club gti have been for around 4 year won't be paying next year as our local branch has broken away due to the members feeling they weren't getting value for their money , i have to say personally i felt the we were being treated as second class members compaired to other regions. £25 is a lot of money for a few mags and they are becomming full of adds , hope they pull it together don't want to see them fold but they do need to open their eyes and see the whole picture Rob corrado club member polo club member club gti member newport edition member

as said above oil can get contamiated with petrol passing the rings and as it warms and turns to petrol vapor the crank case breather feeds this vapor back into the inlet manifold to be reburnt this can lead to a richer mixture,as its so close try a hard 30 min drive before the test to burn off all the petrol vapor sometimes getting the engine hot can sort out small over readings of co2 rob

16v one has another vaccum conection audi 80 is an 8 valve i think and will only swap with an 8 valve engine ,mod is used too give extra fuel with mk 1's and early k-jet mark two's so in short no can't swap sorry Rob

i've had both momo hub sizes over the years and can confirm that the smaller size is 8010 and the larger size is as said above 8014 only very very early corrado's had small splines f regs and lhd g60 mostly and there's not many of them about Rob

their the same diameter but not deep enough so i use silicon mastic to fill the gap and stick it in place Rob

fitted mine with a mark 3 highline badge looks great i think flash pics don't show up very well will get more tomorrow Rob

if it's the rear brakes stuck on a squrt of wd40 and a tap with a hammer on the lever will work then tow the car don't think you need tax /mot to tow a car as it's classed as a trailer ,as for a place sorry can't help there why not ask on the so-wal site all local boys and always very helpful http://www.so-wal.co.uk/ Rob

my momo ferrari engineering phaze one 17's by 71/2 wide with the old gray centres with the current red centres :) only seen two other corrado's with them on one on a us web site and another on a red vr6 at the gti international that was near swindon (can't remember the name now ,maybe just as well ) well i like them anyway :D Rob

as for as i know the front ends a mark 2 golf and the rear ends a passat so they should fit ok on early corrados don't know about corrado's with the plus running gear (vr6's and all later have the plus running gear ) Rob
