Lippy 0 Posted October 28, 2005 Phil K, Cheers! Calipers were pre painted - could do with a touch up really. dub envy, Thanks mate, planning to delete the ashtray, rehouse the cig lighter and add the stereo in the hole. Will then buy a panel which fits in the stereo slot to drop the Audi 52mm gauges. Keeps it looking OEM+. Did you go to Tatton Park, think I parked next door but one to yours mate. Car looks amazing!

Lippy 0 Posted June 7, 2006 Everything been a bit quiet on the Rado front recently, moved house a couple of months ago which as caused some serious open wallet surgery. Bought a set of sebrings (cheers red corrado 16v) to replace the 17" Wolfrace wheels, one had an allergy to a pot hole. The difference in the ride is impressive, so have been thinking of keeping the sebrings as you don't see many rados wearing them (correct me if I am wrong). I would love to see my Rado wearing these beasts (see attached). How much would it cost do get this done and what are they like to keep a) clean b) corrosion free Other things on todo list are: New roof strips Colour code rear number plate recess Corrado mats + doorsills Isolate a few squeaks and rattles!

mrbeige 0 Posted June 7, 2006 They look rather nice actually. Polished rims are a nightmare in the winter cos of the saft, my borbets are now looking a little worse for wear, so having winter wheels would be a good idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lippy 0 Posted June 7, 2006 the scale is a bit off as they are covering my 17s on the pchop. could be a possibility, the missus would cry if I put another set of rims away for Winter! think i'll do it!!! :lol: mr beige, what kinda protection will help during the winter time?

Henny 0 Posted June 8, 2006 as daft as it sounds, a light coat of WD40 once a week will help stop corrosion to raw polished alloy wheels over winter... just make sure you don't get it onto the brakes!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted June 8, 2006 as daft as it sounds, a light coat of WD40 once a week will help stop corrosion to raw polished alloy wheels over winter... just make sure you don't get it onto the brakes!!! Or just spray some on a rag and wipe over the wheels. Come spring, clean off and give em a good old polish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbeige 0 Posted September 29, 2006 You keeping your C now then, Andrew? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy 0 Posted September 29, 2006 yep I think so, you dont lose any money until you sell it! Its going to get some TLC as hopefully I should have some more money coming my way (tax code cock up) so I can put more aside for treats! once I get some new rims and sort out some of the little niggles itll be like driving a different machine. Had a great drive on the way home last night, totally deserted b road hoon and she drove like a beaut! ideally, I will keep it and eventually strip it down for some track day action when I can afford a house with more parking! charged vr6 my arse* :lol: *joking!

Lippy 0 Posted November 27, 2006 OK guys n gals, I need some help... Serviced my car over the weekend, spotted a few issues which need fixing asap. Has anyone got a picture of a 2.0 valver drive shaft (driver side)? There is a rubber ring, which seems to have come away from somewhere and appears to be moving up and down the shaft when the car is moving :shock:. I have spoken to VAG and he can't find one on ETKA (need to go and visit in person) but if anyone has a useful piccie or ETKA diagram that would be great. Cheers Andrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 27, 2006 Cut it off. It's just a driveshaft damper. They always fall off eventually, so do it a favour and put it out of it's misery. VW stopped using them (or that method at least) eons ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy 0 Posted November 27, 2006 ok cool - whats the point of them anyway? just putting some parts together I think GSF will be getting some hammer. Comin up: cam belt cam seal crank seal couple of new hoses from the oil cooler and water pump twin pole oil temp sender for the MFA and VDO Green LEDs for the guages (can't be arsed changing colour! :lol:) Fitted the ignition switch this weekend, made a big difference to the starting (duh!) and idle seems more stable.
