After 4 years of Corrado Ownership I have bought 4 sets of Foglights due to stone chips and cracks. That is almost 1000 euros of foglights! I have made up these foglight protectors and want to get some opinions please. Using clear suction cups with brass thumbs screws as below. I have fixed them to 8mm polycarbonate cut in the shape of the foglight and indicator using a broken foglight housing as below. The polycorbonate is crystal clear and will not chip or dull like perspex. The idea is you can afix these on long journeys and remove easily on arrival. The suction cups are very very strong and are difficult to just pull off so they will not fall off when travelling. What do you guys think?

Sorry guys, is there anywhere online that sells this stuff?

I voted too but still only 5%!

Jumpin Jesus! eek :) Good to hear a little U2 in the back ground too!

Looks sweet Jim, that paint has been really well looked after. Ride hide looks the business too! Goodluck with her bud.:)

Nice one Jim, What model you go for this time round? Of course wheels are a personal thing, I get loads of stick from the guys at work that the 301's look too "old" fashioned.... eek!

@Jay - I think those rims kick ass mate. Keep 'em I say. :) @Jim - Don't you be knocking 301's till you get urself another C either! he he he

very good mate, maybe its a little dark, ie, it looks like its in bold all the time. But otherwise one of the best I've seen to far!

bad earth maybe? do both the oil and volt gauge drop to Zero?

Hey Chris, the VDO sender you have from Merlin should have 1 contact which is the 10 bar sender and the second one should be a lower pressure warning sender. Can you take a picture and post it up for us to see? I reckon there shoul dbe something stamped on the sender to tell them apart, anyways, if you try it out it should only work one way, ie the pressure gauge won't read right if you connect it to the low pressure warning terminal.

The 10 bar pressure sender from Street style and Power, is a twin sender. It gives a pressure reading and a low pressure warning. Is the one you got a twin sender? You shouldn't have to mess around with T pieces etc. Check the details below. If you got a red warning light now its because its not getting a proper reading now. Part no.

I cleaned my ABS cages with a wire brush and they came up like new. All they do is give a magnet a signal..........right?

@ Young Dub Trigger is right, do not mix and match. I have one rally made up and 5 spares. One of my fogs has developed a crack just last Sunday but I won't replace until it becomes very noticeable. right now only a trained Corrado owner would notice but mixing a rally lense with the genuine will look like a bodge job i reckon.

that is one really ugly car :(

Corrado drivers here in Ireland are very friendly, I think I actually know most of them on first name basis now since buying my first Corrado 5 years ago.............. And of course we always flash the lights at each other in traffic. :) girlfriend has told me many times never to sell my Rado cos she couldn't put up with me moaning about it forever like the time I sold my MK1 GTI.

Remote is there permanent but hey, i don't park my Rado anywhere there might be trouble. I like to be able to view it from the window when in restaurants too! he he he HD unit is in the boot of course.very easy to run the cables to it. take about 20mins is all!

I have an M-Station/Neo jukebox in my C. Had it in my MKIV Golf, G60 Corrado and now my VR6. remove ash tray on any corrado and the control unit fits perfectly into the space left behind! I ran the cables under the passenger sill to the boot and of course removed the under side of the glove box to get at the back of the head unit. I am running the RCA cables directly to the AUX input of my Sony Head Unit. sound quality is perfect!

These guys have done all of my work, Timing Chains, Coolant Hoses, thermostats, water pumps, electrical fault finding. I can't praise them enough!

I can highly recommend Parkes VW Garage in Sligo - 071-9167291. Might be a bit out of your way thats all.

Is that a VR6 or another model?

@ boraboy Ha I removed one tonight for cleaning! have had to clean one before last year. now the passenger side tilts forward but not back. strip the switch and you will see the copper contacts just need rubbing with fine sand paper and it'll be fine. 5 min job! :)

what did u use to edit the video lad? Like the double image clips...very cool!

Neil, just looked at the video there and the backlight on the LCD Panel which reads the milage etc looks blue? Am I right? It should be green if not modded.

I was out last night with my VW mechanic friend and we attached the 5052 diagnosis unit to my 95 VR6. At exactly 95 degrees on the diagnosis unit my fans kick in. About 20 seconds later the temp drop to 93 degrees and they turn off again. It will do this while ideling all the time, up and down from 95 to 93 degrees but never goes below that or above it either. Now I know that the engine temp is retreived from the Blue temp sensor but the gauge in the car also stated 95 degrees too. Why should the fans run any earlier if the thermostat only opens at 80c anyway? 8)

I have also found this thread http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32857 I don't have a blue temp sensor on the side of my Rad?
