I have just fitted some refurbed mk3 golf rear calipers with the integrated hanbrake mechanisms, but want to switch the cables over as they were rusted. Should I use the mk3 golf cables of late corrado ones? I have chucked the old cables away otherwise I could have checked if they were long enough, thanks

I have external 16v pump just need to check it complete, it was quite whiney before I removed it but the one I fitted sounds the same too so may just be the case with all the high pressure pumps?

i'd wire in a remore cental locking kit as it will no doubt be cheaper than a pait of normal corrado handles

same as some of the previous comment you are paying for a fancy colour not for a superior brake pad, mintex all the way from now on...

look on the tdi forum, username g60ing has a detailed build there and I thinki mikki's is up ther too.

turned out they were just 280mm in the end :(

Can anyone confirm if the ibiza cupra 288mm calipers , carriers and discs would be a straight fit to get a 4 studded 288mm front brake setup on an early corrado 16v? thanks

note to position and orientation of the chip in the oe key replicate its position in the flip key and it should be fine, thats what i did with mine - the oe key has a slot for the chip anyway.

I recently put green stiff ebc pads and brembo max grooved discs and was dissapointed with the stopping power, maybe down to the fluid needing a change but they were only on par to the standard vag discs and mintex pads they replaced. Peronally I would save for a g6o upgrade, calipers and carriers with mintex pads and oe discs.

I have the low fuel light in my clock cluster... but its from a passat tdi as i'm running a AHU tdi engine :lol:

The mk3 subframe does fit is uses wide track wishbones so you need to keep the corrado one the rear mounts are too fare back to bolt up after the arb so they need trimming down and redrilling, a mk3 tdi one fits as that what i've just fitted to mine.

how close it is to allowings the collets to be removed? if very close the use a standard socket on the back of the spring retainer , socket side down and give it very quick tap with a hammer , this allows the collets to drop out if done quick enough saves faffing around but really depends on how bad the valves are bent, any pics?

suprised how good the dye has covered over the black, what are those front seats your using?

looks like a good job there
