HI Hope this helps you. Had to replace my dash clocks with a spare set I have due to a problematic fuel gauge. My spare dash clocks appeared to work perfectly with the car ticking over on the drive. I then took the car out for a drive the spoiler failed to raise at 40MPH ish. Did a little experiment and manually raised spoiler at speed then stopped the car and spoiler stayed up. I then repaired my original dash clocks and the spoiler returned to normal working order. Speed signal must come from the dash clocks to spoiler control module. Steve

Hi It's a real shame your car looked a good un. Anyway do you still have the Exhaust mounts? All three and also the passenger side door card top trim(that door card locates into)? Thanks Steve

Hi All I have for sale a full stainless Jetex exhaust system from front section back, with a oval 120mm pipe to fit early corrado's with a 50M chassis number. It is in very good condition and is 2.5" bore, also have some new mounting rubbers(4 rubber mounts) and 2 new VW hangers to go with it. Buyer to collect or arrange courier service from the Newport south wales area. Want £180 for the lot. Over £400 New. Exhaust is a Jetex system but is marked up Fabrikat Ray on the boxes. No markings on tail pipe. Thanks Steve

Hi ALl As title says i'm after a complete set of late exhaust hangers(bar type) for my Corrado to include shape(shackle) bar hanger as well. Please PM me with pictures and prices to include delivery to a very wet and windy South Wales(Blackwood area) Thanks Steve

Hi All Recently purchased a very good corrado early(hanger type) Jetex stainless steel exhaust from down pipe back with decat pipe. Only to find that my car is the later type and should have the bar type system underneath wvwzzz50zNK chasis. Only found this out when I took off the heavily modified Miltek sport system that I have on the car to replace it with the Jetex system. The Miltek is also a hanger type system but as stated it has been modified to fit under the car and is banging underneath. Can the early hanger type exhaust be fitted to a later car with the correct hangers purchased? The jetex exhaust that I purchased 2nd hand didn't come with it's fitting kit. Don't want to waste any more money and if it doesn't fit it will be up for sale. Thanks Steve P.S. Forgot to mention that only reason i'm changing exhaust is that it's way too loud for me as I work shifts. And jetex have a really good name for performance without the noise.

HI All Just ordered the pair of Brake dust shields from TPS in cardiff. £39.88 for the pair. Steve

HI Can you post up some pictures of the rear seat please? Is the colour still ok on the rear of the seat? Not sun bleached etc Thanks Steve

HI All Looking to upgrade all the brake hoses on my corrado G60. I have also purchased mk4 golf calipers(alloy) and carriers to replace my standard steel rear calipers. I have been looking for a complete hose kit that incorporates the golf mk4 upgrade and can't find one. Does anyone know of a brake upgrade hose kit for a corrado g60 that includes golf mk4 upgrade rear calipers? Would prefer them in black. Looking to buy asap. Also need Corrado Rear brake dust shields for both sides. Thanks Steve

HI The newportedition meet is held in the rising sun pub in Rogerstone. Check out their website if interested newportedition.com full details on meet times and location are on there. As stated they are a great bunch of lads, even have the bonus of a Vw tech as well! Steve

Hi Looks like I missed the boat on this one. Are these the link arms from the motor to the mechanism? If so and you manage to do another group buy in the future can you please put me down for two? Thanks Steve

Hi Just noticed your post and as a G60 owner I will try to give you some pointers. Check service history on oil change etc. G60's like regular oil changes 6k. Check condition of oil filter and spark plugs under bonnet. Always good to see a Vw or Oem oil filter and bosch spark plugs(W6DP0 platinum expensive £30+ set of 4) Also standard air filter box with Vw Oem paper filter works best. Check for history of work on the supercharger(overhaul etc). Bear in mind the G60 supercharger has a rubber toothed belt driven counterbalance weight. These belts made by gates are Only cheap to buy but a bit of a pain to change(charger out)so they get overlooked. And when they snap the charger will self destruct. Usual checks on corrados' apply, both sills, look up under drivers rear wheel arch(rust trap behind fuel filler) double check inside car pull back carpet in boot, when in boot also check for original Vw sticker inside rear valance, And make sure everything works. Sunroofs are prone to failure, And also with all the rain lately check floor carpets for wetness. Happy hunting Steve

Hi All After some advice on a good pair of rear shock absorbers to fit my corrado g60:g60: 1991? The car is used on a variety of roads(a/b and motorways). The car currently is lowered I think 30mm on apex springs. The rear shocks are cheap and can't make out the brand and are well old. Don't want to lower it too much as the roads in south wales are absolutely useless! So springs will be kept. I have Koni sport top adjustable at the front with the same apex springs(yellow on yellow). Anyway what would you guys recommend? Should I stick with the koni sports and shell out £150 a pair for the rears?(within budget), or is there an alternative make that someone has used and can recommend? Thanks Steve

Hi All Sounds good. I might be able to make the meet in Caerphilly. Just post up a time and date. Just a note there is a newportedition meet first sunday of every month always a good turnout and a great bunch of Vdub nuts. Steve

HI All Just want to add that I am not an employee of eurocarparts or am I affiliated to their company. I am a customer who was fortunate enough to receive an email with this discount code. Thanks Steve

Provisionally sold

Hi Got a bit worried there. Received email from eurocarparts 24th January saying to use renew30 and that it expires on monday 27th january. But hey as long as you got your parts discounted glad to help. Steve

Hi Don't understand. Code is working for me? Another code lastchance30 is also working on bulbs. Weird?

Hi Just checked code and it is still valid online. Reduced price of Osram Nightbreakers from £17.15 to £12. Make sure it's all lower case and no space. renew30 Thanks Steve

Hi All Just ordered some Osram nightbreakers (unlimited H4 bulb twin pack) from eurocarparts for only £12 delivered use promo code renew30. Also ordered some bosch platinum plugs for my G60 should have been £47.52 with code £33.28. Thought i'd post up this code as the chill30 code doesn't give you discount on the bulbs. Happy shopping Steve

Hi All I have for sale my spare genuine hella front passenger side late fog lamp(rhd) Vw part number 535 941 699B. In very good condition, had it with my corrado when I purchased it last may.

Thanks for post Looking at hirschmann aerials there are some on Egay check out item number 380394350703. Compared to stealer prices they seem a bargain at £37. Look Oem also Hirschmann aerials are very good had one fitted to my Mk1 golf many years ago(wing mount). Very good reception. Does anyone know if they fit? Steve

Hi Have you checked up under the drivers' side rear wheel arch (around the fuel flap mechanism area) for rust/holes? My first corrado rusted bad in that area causing water to enter the boot area and would mist up the rear screen very badly.

Hi All Thanks for replies. But just to clarify I need a new base as well as a new aerial. The base unit amplifier is u/s, and the radio reeception is very poor. So looking to replace the whole aerial system. Has anyone replaced their aerial with a VW/Audi Oe shark fin? If so can you please post up a picture. Thanks Steve

Hi All. Would like to change the roof mounted bee sting aerial on my Corrado as the reception is useless with amplified signal cable plugged in or out. It currently has the original amplified type. Can't make up my mind at moment do I stick with the standard bee sting look or upgrade to a nice Oe Vw/Audi sharkfin type aerial. Has any one changed their aerial for an aftermarket one? And more importantly do they work better than standard? Please post up your pictures showing what you got. At moment I can't decide between a Hirschmann bee sting and an OE VW/Audi look sharkfin(both amplified). Also what size is the mounting hole for a standard Vw aerial base? Thanks Steve
