Right hold on, getting all this so far but what is the isv? Where is it? What does it look like? and what does it do? Info has been great so far,Cheers!

cheers, so 55mm too low you reckon? What was yours lowered by?

89 1.8 16V Starts 1st turn of the key but then struggles to idle by itself, I have to keep revving it, but then a 3 minute drive to traffic lights it idles ok,well doesnt stall anyway. Is this the idle control valve or something along those lines? Does it need cleaned? and can someone point out to me where exactly it is? TIA

:lol: Its cool mate cos thats exactly what went through my mind, just wanted to check! im positive the passat subframe is the same as a mk2/corrado but wishbones are a bit wider, so i think it mite work? yeah being an estate it mite be different spring rates,loads,etc but heavest itl be is a pair of mountain bikes or an engine.

Hey just bought a 92 2.0litre Passat Estate, Got coilovers for the corrado now so will my 55mm lowering kit off my 16v Corrado go on? Not looked yet cos not got car but does any1 know if mk2 golf/corrado suspension is the same?

Thats a fair point m8! Anyone know? 90 pound is a joke!

Eric - your m8s corrados very nice, where did he get the bonnet bra from and how much?

Been looking trough the s2000 forum and two engines have blown in the last week! one of them was under 65K and they seem to be pretty standard factory engines with fsh and good careful owners. :shock: :shock: :shock: There all Crappin themselves :lol:

Oh sorry its a 1.8 16V on an 89 plate

After New Battery,Alternator,Starter + wiring I thought the ignition switch would be the problem of my car not turning over. Fitted this morning but after a few runs in the car to double check (Turning car off say at least 20 times) But then it did not start this afternoon? I waited 20 mins and it fired up? :roll: I did have an alarm but got this professionaly removed by an alarm specialist. I know it mite be a wiring prob, Electrician coming (Again! 6th time!) but just wondered if any1 here had or heard of this problem? Really starting to p**s Me off!!! :x Cheers!

Cheers mate! Just what I wanted to hear, was expecting stupid price!

Ok folks, 1.8 16V on an 89 plate, Alternator had gone - So replaced and fitted with a 90 amp brand new 1 (Which was faulty and ended up braking down! :mad: Anyway its been replaced under guarantee) Then starter was messing about so also fitted a new one, inbetween all this I also got a new battery but car wont start on lets say 5th attempt or 6th then sometime it just doesnt! Sparkys just been out and we both came to the conclusion that its the ignition switch, so....has any1 experienced the same probs or does any1 know info on this? Its not a big job eh? Oh and how much? Might aswell buy new as I have with everything else!!! Cheers! :)

If its round the 30 pound mark count me in! But be good to get a definate price if poss?

Thanks guys,checked it all out,seemed ok but was more a track car!1 day I will do it myself as vr6 engines can be found quite cheap if youve got the guts and know how! Felt so much faster than a corrado vr6 tho, due to the fact it was lighter!

?? Hardly a kit car m8? Just a modifed mk2 with a vr6 lump like a mk3 golf or corrado!

I know this aint a corrado question but does involve that amazing engine!Has anyone got tips on what to look out for when buying a mk2 vr6? Be checking mounts,etc and its already got uprated suspension and brakes. Anyfing else?

Only monte carlo limited edition ive heard of is a Escort cossy and old Lancias! Guys bullshiting!

I know its a bit sad but I try my best not to park next to cars,even if it means parking on the other side of a car park and walking in the rain! After getting all the parking dents sorted on both sides, another one would kill me! Either that or park in a disabled space and limp! (thats if there are plenty available of course!) :wink:

Em going back to the original Q, im getting my arches rolled in a couple of weeks and for £200 extra im getn my arches extened by a couple of milimetres, this means that the bottom line of the arch will be smoother just like the top line(which is on the wing) I thot id never mess with the corrados body but I feel this will be worthwile as itl go well with my alloys, I'll have pics to show use,kinda hard to explain!

How much is it for a left hand drive corrado,rallye,etc to be converted to right hand drive? And what companys are good at it?

Thought so, cheers guys!

Is it wise? its just theres new shockies all round or will it f##k them up? How comfy are the supersport coilovers that venom motorsport are selling?Is it a hard and bumpy ride?

Can you get a quickshift for a 1.8 16v?

This is a tricky 1 to explain but after the first 5 days off buying it shes just not running rite! At 1st at around 4k/5k she started hesitating, running lumpy and just missing under acceleration, went to the garage ( near enuf a VW specialist ) And he said that the rocker cover gasket was leaking oil into spark plug 3, so new gasket - problem fixed! But when i picked her up she started doing it again but this time around 2K again wen accelarating, it just jumps and starts missing, then when coming to a halt in 2nd gear, the engines struggling to stay on and its close to cutting out? Has anyone had this prob wif theres? Im taking back down 2morrow morning to the garage but i know it'l be a fueling or igntion prob that'l be hard to find. Any suggestions?

After alot of saving and 6 months of patient looking I finally have my 1st Corrado! God shes amazing, :D worth the wait and money! My mates now all want one and the attention from the birds is just quality. 8) Shes just back from the garage, had a major service and a few bits and bobs, Timing belt getting done next week. But she still aint running right :( (see problem page!) Plans for just now is an exhaust system from Free-flow and coilovers. Momo knob,steering wheel,sound system all been put in jst now. Just like to say a big thanks to the forum, with out it I wouldnt have bought a Corrado properly and safely (excellent Buying guide!) and would be goin around in a mk3 golf! So im ordering the forum stickers and joining the corrado club and ill see all the scottish owners at the Rolling road day! Ohh an will I be the youngest Corrado owner? turned 19 two weeks ago, Just dont mention the 'excess'!!! :?
