Redfox 10 Posted October 27, 2011 Took mine out of the garage to service my motorcycle. Of course it began to rain... ggrrrrr.... ;( Fortunately it also gave me a chance to grab my new Momo steering wheel :) So this weekend is Corrado-washing-time. Not a bad way to spend some time ;) Now, it's time for a nice jazz album on the tape recorder ;) Cheers, Redfox. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Album56 0 Posted November 3, 2011 Decided to have a look at my reversing lights (G60) that stopped working a few months ago after being intermittent for years. Fault was corroded contacts on the switch on top of the gear change mechanism, quite easy to remove just unplug wires & undo 2 x 9mm bolts & its off. Gently prize the end off, held in by 3 plastic lugs & then gently remove a rubber diaphragm to expose the switch contacts, clean contacts & spray with contact cleaner, reassemble & its fixed, works better than its done for years.

Bending the inside of the wheel arch so that bigger wheels don't rub, like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXm98bxAedw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonedef 9 Posted November 13, 2011 Spent the day pulling and tugging the rear beam out then stripping it down ready for blasting and powder coating. Loads of seized bits, rusty bits and bits that'll need replacing.....I can feel a big shopping list approaching! Ended up with a big pile of bits to drop in at the powder coaters tomorrow!

You did well if it only took you a day to dismantle all that...If you need some genuine rear VW rear bush for your rear axle. There is a pair going for £50 in ebay. Think they normally retail at £45 + vat each. Keep us posted on updates. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think they normally retail at £45 + vat each. Keep us posted on updates. Only the rear beam this week, all the other bits came out last weekend! Car's currently sat on four axle stands with the engine on another pair of axle stands and a block of wood! Thanks for the heads up on the bushes, they're ordered and should be here this week, needing all the front bushes plus various bolts I've had destroy getting them out....one of the rear disk backplates virtually disintegrated as it came off today! I also had a worrying leak from the steering rack last week which looks expensive, I have a spare hanging up in the garage but not sure how good that one is either....can't be too much to rebuilding one if the seals can be found I'm sure.

lion 0 Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Put on my d90s fitted weitech coilies and dropped it as low as possible :) Edited November 20, 2011 by lion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
<neil> 10 Posted November 21, 2011 Fitted OE front & rear struts - couldn't handle the 2" ride height any more! Much smoother ride and don't need to be constantly on the lookout for speed bumps and potholes... Also fitted new alternator as old one was squealing, flushed the coolant and did some work on the throttle, oiling the cable and cleaning up the lever as the spring wasn't closing the microswitch properly. Accelerator still not as smooth as it should be but it's better... Unfortunately also realised I need a new front engine mount, steering rack and probably PAS pump too :( And I think I'm burning coolant although spark plugs look fine and compression test was good on all cylinders.
