    Sweet thanks mate. Dose VCDS (used it on my old PD130 bora) work if i get an obd1 cable to read fault codes (if any) and to log lambda's etc?

    Firstly sorry if this is in the wrong section. Im just wondering if somebody could tell me if my 2l 16v 9a rado is obd1 or 2? and where the plug is located. Thanks

    Looking forward to getting stuck in, After all of the above should be a really spot on car. Then when i get bonus at end of this month it needs a cold start valve and steering rack then its ready for a few little mods :) Get the base car spot on first though! 240 miles done in it already, not missed a beat, great car i must say bar its few age related issues (leaky rack and cold start issues)!

    They where calibre vintage mate, the dare reps are awefull, seen some right horror stories with them splitting etc.
  11. Smiithy
    Cheers mate, well its the reason ive brought one, things like that arent to bad, clutch for a rado is 120 ish, clutch for my old bora was 750!
  12. Smiithy
    Exactly! :)

    Knew id spell schmidt wrong! lmao, but yeah lovely wheels, see what comes up when i have money, first things are to give the car a really good service and once over, needs brakes, alternator (preventative maintenance) and definitely needs a battery.

    Im thinking staggered 16's tbh, perhaps borbet A or schmit modern lines :)
  15. Smiithy
    Cheers dude, And yeah jonny i would have but they where 18's so far to big to stick under a rado, but want a similar style. I'm under the impression that 2.0 9a is 4 x 100? and they where 5 x 100 so wouldn't have fit (i don't like adapters)
  16. Smiithy
    Yeah i live in the sticks tbh mate, will try some philips power x-treme bulbs first. As for lowered cars i know the feelings i had a slammed bora before.
  17. Smiithy
    Theres always one, I want coil overs for looks not handling. But yeah thanks for your input but i think ill do what I want to do to MY car.
  18. Smiithy
    Thanks :)
  19. Smiithy
    Any links to the guy that dose the uprated headlight loom? Thanks
  20. Smiithy
    HAHA at the above "run into the back of someone". As for mods, i plan to get some nice coilovers on it and some 16" deep dish wheels but then leave it alone really, maybe some of the leather seats with the bulge in the back. Anybody have any info on the TT headlight and wiper mod's as i hear the rado has poor headlights and wipers!
  21. Smiithy
    Im just totally in love with the spoiler! hahaha

    Brought a 2.0 16v rado last night, Great car, cant wait to fetch it wednesday. Thanks for the advice when buying one from you guys on here ive found a minter. Ill let the pictures do the talking.
  23. Smiithy
    Thanks guys, looks like vr may be abit to fuel thirsty for me unless the 2.0 16v is of a similar usage ill probs go 4 pot :( shame as the 6 sounds great!
  24. Smiithy
    Thanks dude :), mpg dosen't mean all that much to me haha, so if you where to put 20quid of fuel in or 30 - 40 whatever you know how many miles would you get mixed driving? thanks again
  25. Smiithy
    Hi there, Im new on here so hello everybody. Just sold my vw bora and am now searching for a corrado. Right my questions are, 2.0 or vr6? Fuel economy difference? (can somebody give an example like £20 of petrol will get you x miles in vr and x miles in 2.0 9a doing town driving etc would be good) Reliability? Also when vr's go wrong are they ALOT more costly to fix? Really need some answers as i can insure them both and this cash is burning a hole in my pocket! Thanks
