Hi iv noticed tonight that my near side dipped beam had gone so changed bulb and that didn't solve and old bulb was fine anyway and worked in other side , took connector off and it has 12v for side and full beam but no power for dipped beam , anyone expierienced this , its standard loom not uprated Many thanks James

Can see ur point , it's had some good work done to it since then , I know who owned it then and before me and between me and previous owner we have put it back to how it should deliver

Respray was done last year mate , I'm happy with that I was hoping to get 2400 for it ---------- Post added at 1:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 1:55 PM ---------- How come u didn't buy it at the time matey

Hi guys iv got a 1994 corrado vr6 2.9 abv engine Has done 163,000 miles but has just had New chains , tensioners and guides , headgasket , with new head bolts Crack pipe, thermostat housing oil cooler pipes , all new plugs oil all filters Clutch kit , head all cleaned pressure tested lightly skimmed and new valve stem seals and valves lapped in Pretty much minor engine rebuild Poly mounts fitted from group but while engine was out Fitted stainless manifold also , 12 months mot and 5 months tax I've got a box full of almost every reciept this car has had It's got fk coilies and stainless scorpion back box with decat etc full stainless system Interior is extremely clean , Love the car but need an estate of some description and unfortunately can't ford to keep it Oh yeah it's had a full respray also and the colour is original which is satin silver So just wondered if anyone knows what sort of money it was worth Many thanks James

Thanks I'm very pleased with it

Nice car mate , I also just taxed my vr6 satin silver rado, defo the right colour :thumbleft:

Hi guys here's me corrado vr6 As I bought it but have had engine out done chains , headgasket, crack pipe , all thermostat casings, and clutch whilst it was out made sense Thanks to u helpful lot who steered me right when needing advice on putting lump back in Here's what I had before my rado Before After Needed house deposit so she had to go broke my bleddy heart I tell ya Anyhow that's bit bout me guys James

Anyone know where this wire goes cant see anywhere obvious

hi sorry to revive an old thread but the link no longer works to show how to do the vcds output tests , anyone know how to do this at all

hi mate that was awesome thanks very moooch

Hi guys had engine out to do head and chains , most makes sense where all goes but been few weeks now since having parts off and can't remember what these 2 do , any help be most appreciated , racked me brains loads can't think at all Cheers guys James

Thanks for ur help bud , shame on ur head yeah we do these silly things , hopefully putting engine back in Sunday so il know if alls ok soon lol

How did it ruin ur head bud wat caused it to do that

Hi guys got timing all sorted on vr6 head and chain replacement , now the guide I read on vortex says older style tensioner like one that came in my kit , to bleed all the way back , now I'm concerned first time ya turn it over that way that there affectively could be no tension and completely mess up the timing , It says also that some put bit of oil on to give it some oil on initial start , what did u guys do , earring in mind mines the early style tensioner one without the spring

the cams are lined up and the top chain seems to fit fine, have the cams locked off etc aswell , i got to the point the other night where i'd just bout given up and i just thought id ask u guys and clear my head and try again on monday , id rather it be spot on, the theory of the chains is such a simple task only problem is it seems to be wherever the chain links fall is where it is if you get what i mean, ill have a play either morra or tuesday and see what i can come up with,will keep u updated either way ---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ---------- http://www.agthompsonfamily.com/vw/TimingChain20.jpg if u see in this pic from vw vortex guide his is off whilst taking all chains off

Just can't help thinking y put in timing marks if it ain't a problem , I just can't see how I can change it so its not off at minute hopefully do some more on Monday see if can change it, but any more thoughts greatfully appreciated

Ill put top tensioner in and check again but I think so yeah

yeah its really strange, can anyone else confirm if they have had this too, also i have to put the tensioner bolt in oil etc pump to bleed i get that but will it need bleeding again if i dont start the car for around 2 weeks whilst i put the engine and everything in or once bled is it fine

yup id say thats the way id go lol and id even go to the extreme of letting them think theyv done me at the lights and thrashing em last minute lol that really will send em to the loopy peoples centre :norty:

thats awesome perfect family car , nice one chap

hi im currently in middle of doin my timing chains after iv just done my headgasket , i have engine out so its a lot easier , the trouble i seem to be having is that i can line the crankshaft pulleyup on the block no problem and get that spot on , i also have a cam locking tool and can get that all lined up, but when i put the chains on, ( febi bilstein kit) the intermidiate sprocket doesnt sit bang on the line its supposed to be on at 6 or 12 oclock , its probable 3-5 mm off it , and due to chain links i cant get it any closer , does anyone know if this is ok as its worrying me big time anyone else expeirienced this cheers James

they still available mate

Anyone :scratch:

Hi guys doin headgasket on my rado vr6 2.9 abv , got the head off and gearbox off guna lift block out now cos basically everything is off, had the head skimmed but only had very light skim according to cylinder specialist, will I be ok to use the mk4 head gasket or are people experiencing any problems with doin this , part number I found on here was 021 103 383n , also seen a thread saying there's a seal for an oil way on cylinder one anyone shed any more light on this , replacing all thermostat housings whilst its off and doin all the chains and guides so got most under control just wanna make sure I get the right gasket for the head , Thanks James

hi guys im after a head gasket kit and chain kit for my vr6 just thought id see if anyone had any of it and no longer needed and wanted to sell on if not i will start sourcing i guess :smug:
