skinnyman9000 0 Posted July 13, 2006 After having no car for 3 months, followed by a month of driving my mum's escort, i've finally got myself another VW. A totally standard, Tornado red, 1.8 16V Corrado: First things first is a thorough service, then i think i'll be keeping it standard for a while.

gaz the geezer 0 Posted July 13, 2006 nice purchase mr skinnyman9000, looks like you may well have had a bit of a good deal there !!! .... certainly looks straight 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyman9000 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Its a very straight car, bodywork and interior is certainly in very good condition. There are a few lil engine problems that need looking it at. Its due a cambelt change, there is a small oil leak, and it idles irratically from time to time, but ive been told this is a common problem solved easily. Hopefully a thorough service should get the engine back to its best though, as it has full service history too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RADO.001 0 Posted July 14, 2006 very tidy, well done mate :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyman9000 0 Posted July 14, 2006 The exhaust system has just been replaced a few weeks before the sale, i've got the receipt for the downpipe and centre section from a VW parts place, but the backbox was from somewhere else, so it could possibly be from another corrado or an after market item, i don't know enough about them yet to know what's what.
