Any help please

Hi,

I recently rescued a 1.8 16 valve from a shed where its been sat from 2006. It hasn't moved since then but i bought it as a restoration project. I have already identified a dead fuel pump as the reason it wouldn't start (intank pump is fine, its the other one) and was wondering what else major i shoud be looking at. Also the drivers door handle doesn't work. Anyone got any ideas of a quick fix for this i.e. bodge it till i can get a new one? Typical corrado problem.

 

Plus does, anyone have a driver's seat they want to sell?! And any ideas about how to get the spoiler to go down would be appreciated.

 

Thanks for your time,

 

Dan

i think the whole forum is dedicated to things to be looking out for or issues with rados lol.

 

quick bodge for the handle, remove it.

 

Welcome and good luck mate

To get the spoiler down, open the boot and pop off the large piece of plastic trim covering the base of the hatch (just need a posi screwdriver - be careful not to mangle the stupid plastic screws it's held on with) - you should then see in the middle a plastic "T" bar which you can use to wind the spoiler back down with :)

 

Even VW knew it'd fail eventually ;)
