As above I was looking at a few parts on their website, and found they list the (O/S/F) right side complete door mirror for a Corrado. The part number is 489441050 cost is £148.80 Says fully electric mirror. http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/cp4l/c/Volkswagen_Corrado_2.9_1993/p/car-parts/car-body-parts-and-car-exhaust/body-shop/car-mirror/?489441050&1&964f58e22cd77401dbe1628844be0c3df84c50c4&000218 States out of stock but to contact them to be sure, as they might be able to order it in. I'll drop them a email and see what they say, you never know they might be able to get hold of one. The N/S/F door mirror unit you can get from VW Heritage, I think it's about £220.00. Cheers Si

Hello Jay6668v, thank you for your payment for your small linkage order, I've also added your name to the longer linkage group buy thread as requested. PS, I've sent you a PM of your postage options, regarding postage of both items at the same time. Please let me know which option you want. Once again many thanks. Si

Hello Scott (Ridlymaca) and VR6Lee, thanks for letting me know you've both received your items ok. PS, I've amended the list above. Thanks again Si

Had this on my Corrado 2.0 16v today the dam radiator fan wouldn't turn off, traced it to a warn out fan over run sensor, this sensor is screwed into a bracket which bolts to the front left of the valve cover, plus it's yellow in colour and has just the one spade connector on it. Original OEM part number I think is / was 191-919-521D Managed to find a seller on Ebay that has them in stock, so have ordered one. Ebay item number 400360578030 Ebay item Link below: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400360578030?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D400360578030%26_rdc%3D1 Hope this helps anyone with the same fault.

Hello Alex303 and AlexDG, thank you for your payments I've done as you've both requested. PS, a PM has been sent to you both. I'll update the 3rd batch list now. Once again many thanks Si

Hello Alex303, sorry for the late reply I've added you to the above 2nd batch list for the longer linkage as requested. Thank you for your payment for the small linkage, I'll keep it to one side until the 2nd batch of longer linkages are in. Alex I should be able to do you a discount on the postage cost for the longer linkage, as you've already payed for the small linkage postage of £4.30, I'll just ask for an extra £3.00 so the total postage cost will be £7.30 all in. Postage £4.30 PAID (Total is £7.30) = so £3.00 owed. This is for 1st class signed on delivery. Longer linkage is £20.60 plus the £3.00 = total owed is 23.60 I'll ask for the balance payment once the 2nd batch of longer linkages are in. PS, I've sent you a PM of the above. Once again many thanks. Si

Hello there, yeah the catalytic converter has to be fitted to the exhaust system on a vehicle, other wise the exhaust emissions won't be reduced low enough, as on most modern vehicles the ignition / fuel systems and emissions, are governed by the cars computer system i.e ECU = (Electronic Computer Unit or Electronic Control Unit) so in other words the fuel / emissions can be adjusted or changed, but only if the ECU memory is reprogrammed to do so. Regarding the catalytic converter it operates once the engine has been running for 10 mins or longer, as it has to be really hot to be able to burn away harmful fumes and convert them into less harmful. (Converts carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide = carbon dioxide is what we breath out. Carbon monoxide is highly toxic. The catalytic converter is usually fitted very close to the exhaust manifold as there is extreme heat from there, as it's bolted directly to the engine, you can see temps of up to 350 degrees C or more from the exhaust manifold. On vehicles like the Ford Focus and some of the Fiesta's the catalytic converter is bolted directly to the exhaust manifold, so acts as a exhaust down pipe and emissions exhaust filter. But on the Corrado the catalytic converter is under the car bolted to the exhaust down pipe, in this position it's still able to obtain extreme heat from the exhaust manifold as it's still very close to it. Inside the catalytic converter it has a honey cone like mess filter, this slows down the waste gas flow so the heat from the catalytic converter is able to convert to less harm full gasses, looks like as well the honey cone mesh filter inside is coated with a special metal that causes the honey cone, to have a rough surface area this is what helps to slow down the exhaust gasses passing through the catalytic converter, plus the extreme heat that is generated from the exhaust manifold which is transferred through the exhaust steel, to the catalytic converter this all combines together to create a reaction which burns off or changes carbon monoxide, into carbon dioxide. The catalytic converter has a Lambda sensor normally fitted in it just before the honey cone mesh filter, or it's fitted in the exhaust down pipe or in the exhaust manifold, where ever it's fitted again it's always very close to the exhaust manifold as it only really works at high temps, this Lambda sensor measures the exhaust gasses just before they enter into the catalytic converter, if the sensor picks up any rich readings like unburnt fuel deposits, it communicates with the ECU which has the cars running data in its memory chip, so if the sensors readings don't match what's on this memory chip, the ECU will adjust accordingly until the set readings are matched again. The Lambda sensor helps to reduce the emissions down quite low but not low enough, so thats where the catalytic converter comes in. THE ECU DOESN'T KNOW WHEN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS BEEN REMOVED, THE ENGINE WILL STILL RUN NORMALLY AS LONG AS THE LAMBDA SENSOR IS STILL FITTED, THE ECU ONLY CONTROLS THE SENSORS = IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, SO REMOVING IT WILL 100% CAUSE YOUR EMISSIONS TO BE OVER THEIR LEGAL LIMIT, AS IT'S PURELY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THAT CONVERTS THESE HARMFUL FUMES IN QUESTION. In the MOT test the emissions are checked via a cryptic analysis computer, normally a tacho sensor is connected to one of the HT leads on the older cars, like on our Corrado's, and a oil temp probe sensor is put down into the dip stick tube to measure the oil temp, and finally a emission probe is put up the exhaust tail pipe. 1) Tacho sensor = is to read the cars RPM 2) Oil temp probe sensor = is to measure the engines temp 3) Exhaust probe = picks up the exhaust gasses for analysis. Once the cars engine is up to the correct operating temperature, the MOT tester will rev the engine to about 2500 RPM for roughly 30 seconds to 1 min, and it's tested again at normal idle speed. This is the testing procedure for checking the catalytic converters performance, so if a catalytic converter has been removed off the car the emissions will fail with out question. Some people do remove the cat and fit a decat pipe but once the MOT is coming up, they change it back so the car will pass it's MOT emissions test. Below was taken off the MOT site. 1) Where engine speed can only be measured by the removal of a cosmetic engine cover, the speed measurement must still be carried out if the cover can be easily un-clipped. If engine speed cannot be measured then the vehicle tachometer should be used if fitted. Otherwise engine speed measurement may be by-passed and a subjective estimate made. 2) Engine oil temperature must be measured whenever possible, using the approved temperature probe. Where, in exceptional circumstances, the engine oil temperature cannot be measured (e.g. in the case of a dry sump engine), check that either: A) the temperature gauge indicated that the engine was at its normal operating temperature B) the cooling fan had cut in, or C) the coolant pipes were hot. Below as stated in STEVEC14 last post. The catalyst (Cat) test is part of the MOT test for most spark ignition petrol engined passenger cars, with four or more wheels first used on and after 1 August 1992. Carbon monoxide (CO), Hydrocarbons (HC), and lambda sensor (~) are all checked, at fast idle e.g (between 2500 RPM and 3000 RPM), and carbon monoxide (CO) is checked again at idle speed. Hope this helps Si

Hello mate, good to hear your car passed it's MOT and you got it sorted. Si
