fla 9 Posted May 15, 2012 looks like a striaght pipe replacing the pcv - like i have also fitted in mine. PCVs are about £35 though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benjevw 10 Posted May 15, 2012 Yea . What piece of pipe should I use in place then? Ill get the part number off mine tonight and see what it is! Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Yup i have that pipe on mine too and no PCV - not sure, but i think early VRs came with a straight through pipe and a dummy sensor on the end. That pipe isnt available seperate, only with the inlet. I searched a couple of years ago for one, ended up getting one from the states for £30 :-/ If its split if could be dripping oil onto the manifold heat shield. Ben the black box is the damper box for the ISV - basically a box with foam inside it to damped noise. Sorry cant help with the servo question.

Benjevw 10 Posted May 15, 2012 Ah I see. I don't think it's leaking at all but the pipe always comes loose after I've repaired it with tape and jubileed it. I guess I'll just have to try to repair it again then :( Well I've got a second hand servo in good cond on the way from eBay so will be seein if that makes much difference. Is there normally a lot of air in the master cylinder before bleeding? Haven't got around to bleeding it yet but don't wanna change servo if no need! I'll just have to try it .

Benjevw 10 Posted May 16, 2012 On inspection it is dripping on the heat shield That's probly the burning smell when hot ! Also need a new piece of blue pipe from brake fluid bottle to ..?? (don't know what it is, looks like a smaller master cylinder??) Throttle body was filthy aswell so gave that a quick wipe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benjevw 10 Posted May 26, 2012 More rust found!! It fell out from the back of the rear bumper any ideas? Lol Got round to looking at the speakers too. I've traced the wire from the pas doorcard to here One wires from passenger side and I think the other 1s from the drivers side! They guy before had focal tweeters in the dash but as I got it with no doorcards or seats i didn't have speakers wired up! I have no sound at the mo. Do these two wires need to be wired up to the head unit? Where do the rear speaker wires come through ? I'm poor at electrics do any help would be great. Got a load of heat shield clips too do can finally fix that rattle! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benjevw 10 Posted May 26, 2012 Reaaaalyy??? Just had a look through your build thread. If I didn't have mine I'd probly buy yours tbh. I'm guessing it dosent come with the schmidts? Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robo22sri 10 Posted May 26, 2012 No mate the schmidt's are split in my shed waiting to be refurbed :) Am going to look at a mk3 vr tomorrow :) Need to sell the rado though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benjevw 10 Posted May 26, 2012 Nice! Well as much as I'd like too I can't lol I've just been accepted into college(5years too late), so I've got a massive fee for that now :( 1 step closer to my own corrado specialists!! :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted May 26, 2012 why not buy his and use yours for spares? the rust from the rear bumper may just be the heat shield thats dissolved. No issue with that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benjevw 10 Posted May 29, 2012 Hopefully going to see it tomorrow! Could be a good shout :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benjevw 10 Posted May 31, 2012 So big things are happening in bens world this week! Which means unfortunately I may be breaking my rado (K999TRM) !!!! That's if there's enought interest in it! If not I'll sell it as spares/repairs/conversion etc. Take a look through the thread as I've pictured and listed most things I've done to it! PM me if your interested in the whole car or are interested in anything inparticular! I'll stick up a breaking thread as soon as plans are confirmed :D Cheers guys Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benjevw 10 Posted June 4, 2012 So yeah!! Corrado no.2 :D! Shame about the wheels lol Picked it up off Rob22sri earlier today. Top bloke! Its got its problems but overall it's 100x better than mine! Ran lovely on the 50 odd miles home. Everything worked apart frm the sunroof but I knew that. The paintworks crazy blue!! Lol and the black dash and plastics look soo much better imo! F**CKING LOOOVE IT!!! :) But as I'm short of money for a few weeks, it's only insured for today :'( Mines going to be broken to you guys on here so I'll put up a thread tomorrow sometime when I've got a list of stuff and photos.
