DEL VR6 0 Posted July 27, 2005 Hey everyone.... I just wanted to share the amazing experience and tell you all that my VR6 is well and truly back on the road after an 8-10 week break. (And boy have i got a HUGE smile on my face... even took the longest route possible to get to work this morning) :) Originally i took it off the road because my Karmann Ghia was ready for the "summer". Then i discovered that it was overheating... remember this thread: http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewto ... er=#267075 well, the good news is that yesterday it got sorted. After all the wondering and guessing, I had the thermostat replaced at a cost of £10.42 plus a ripoff £45 labour and with antifreeze and VAT it came to £78.39. Anyway.... its great to be back behind of the wheel of a car that gives you that feeling of "fitting like a glove" and to have all that power and noise under your right foot too! Its actually quite overwhelming getting used to all that power again! You really do have to restrain yourself at all times. Its great to be back! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Forinor 0 Posted July 27, 2005 Good to hear that, I know how gutted I would be if I couldnt drive my Corrado, even for a few days, let alone 10 weeks, I'm be a miserable wreck, lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shilakadaddy 0 Posted July 27, 2005 Gotta be a great feeling! :) I've been without mine for about a week, and I'm already feeling the pain... I need a fix! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted July 27, 2005 a week??!!! blimey you guys are lucky, mine has been off the road for about 3 months now (with an occasional test drive to see if faults have been sorted), but then again i only get part of a weekend to have a play. Believe me THAT is depressing. Its nothing major, just that I'm not able to get enough time to sort it. Fantastic when it goes for a test drive. DEL VR6, enjoy your car mate, the VR is really superb.

samm_cvr6 0 Posted July 27, 2005 yep. it is a nice feeling alright, especially when she's been off the road for a stint. Just changed the gasket on mine as it was running rough, £35 all in! I saw one today when I was driving a passat TDI and thought, "that looks lovely", oh yea, i've got one... :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
