kerrinmay 0 Posted October 25, 2004 I bought my Corrado just over 2 weeks ago and busy ordering bits and pieces as I go along. I hear lots of talk about things being discontinued for the Corrado and wondered if anyone has a list of what is now discontinued. Would be useful to know what bits I should consider getting asap from any old stock that might be hanging around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 25, 2004 I suggested putting up a sticky thread about discontinued items ages ago, but it fell upon cloth ears though. Feel free to make a list of any items the dealer has discontinued and I or the other Mods can sticky it for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davebirl 0 Posted October 25, 2004 VDO Gauge Clusters Quantum Mudflaps I have been looking for the VDO gauges for my VR6 since, well ages! I have got my local vw garage to order them for me and they have put a "special" request through to germany. After 1 month with no reply they faxed through a request back to my local garage asking for my Chassis number and said that upon receipt of chassis number they will send out my new VDO gauges!!!! Hoping to have them next week. I'll let you all know how i get on. :-P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeVR6 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Please do Dave. They're like the proverbial "Rocking horse sh1t!" :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted October 25, 2004 i thought VW had already gone back to VDO to ask about remanufacturing these and been told sorry no can do?.........hopefully this was a myth and the rest of you ppl could enjoy these fine guages 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ice White Socks 0 Posted October 25, 2004 have been looking for the VDO gauges for my VR6 since, well ages! I Dave- what part numbers are these gauges? I have got a load of stuff to order from VW- I'll tag these on the back and see what happens :wink: Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 25, 2004 Do a search as CrazyMarcel ordered them with no problems last year. The guage panel is £120 and then there is a another £60 on top of that (IIRC) for the oil pressure sender fitting kit. You basically have to T-off one the pressure senders and fit the VDO sender to the T piece. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You basically have to T-off one the pressure senders and fit the VDO sender to the T piece. VDO do a dual pole sender that replaces one of the oil pressure switches on the filter housing. It has the switch and sender in one unit so making it a much more straight forward fitment with no need for a T piece. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A20 LEE 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Dashboard centre consule was discontinued 2002. There's supposed to be 3 new ones sat at on the shelves of three dealers. I phoned 2 of them and they didn't have them listed on their stock. The third dealer, i never got past the answer phone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emax 0 Posted October 26, 2004 I ordered some earlier this year and they sent this special request off to Germany but the manufacturer turned around and said that they wouldn't make them so I gave up.

ben16v 0 Posted January 18, 2005 WOW!! where, when, how, which dealer, how much!!!!????? they are cool! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ice White Socks 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Wow, Along with probably about a million other people I called the dealer as soon as I saw the post. He says that I can order the two gauges, but the piece of trim panel is definitely not in stock and there is no part number!!! Can anyone help- My only hope is that maybe the trim panel comes complete with one of the gauges but its a long shot- Let us know what part numbers you ordered mate- I'll be putting my order in prontsky :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He says that I can order the two gauges, but the piece of trim panel is definitely not in stock and there is no part number!!! Err... Its all one unit! - he is talking about the early one with the round gauges to fit the early dash! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ice White Socks 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Err... Its all one unit! - he is talking about the early one with the round gauges to fit the early dash! Aye your not wrong. Well phoned the dealer up again and he said it comes up on his system as part obsolete and that he is not even able to place an order for this part. Oh Bugger. I really wanted one of those as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davebirl 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Part Number on unit ordered from VW is! "536 919 527" Defo the right part number and the right fit for later dash right hand drive! It should come up as a right part number now when the VW garage do a search for it. Before I ordered mine it came up as an incorrect part now it shows up as true!!!

davebirl 0 Posted January 18, 2005 * * * 536 919 527 * * * Corrado Gauges! That is the right part number and any dealer that says he can't get it is a lazy sod! There is a special order process and all the dealer has to do it fax through an order form to Germany. Its pink tell him! I've seen it! They will repsond within a few days and confirm its availability. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davebirl 0 Posted January 18, 2005 * * * 536 919 527 * * * Corrado Gauges! Recommended Retail price from Irish VW Garage is 140 euros, that is 97 pounds sterling. Thats the recommended price, it can be got for less! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Just spoke to my dealer about this- part number doesn't come up, haven't heard of it, yadayadayada. They told me it must be an after market part, and wouldn't believe me when I said it was genuine VW. So irritating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
