daves16v 1 Posted August 19, 2004 I met Andi a few months back as he's on my door step. We went out in it and the engine still sounds sweet and so did the popping exhaust :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 19, 2004 VRs love to pop.... so much for emissions control, LOL! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted August 19, 2004 Yeah mine pops nicely too, although that could be partly related to the dying MAF, tired plugs, crappy HT leads, or dying fuel pump :roll: oh well, good as new soon :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted August 19, 2004 I was on your doorstep, daves16v, but I've moved back down south now since it went a bit Pete Tong up there... Oh well. She's only really popped since the Milltek went on. So its all Pete M/16VG60's fault, since he fitted it :) And jimsG60, I got the local refugees at the hand car wash to do it... :lol: I have no idea what the pink liquid they use - but it does shine it up nicely! Even though the last time she was washed was probably before Inters!!! :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted November 30, 2004 Well, its been a long time coming, but I can finally afford to give the daily hack some TLC. The B&Q bypass is finally going to get removed, and the matrix fixed - but whilst its all out, I'll get a little extra added. I'm sure you can guess what.... 8) Then next year its time for the wheel refurb, full body dust-over, then some engine TLC care of V-Werks, as a new project I'm sure they'll love to do. 202,000 miles? Pah, it's just loosening up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted November 30, 2004 I've said it before Andi - one of my favourite C's. One of the best colours .... every option under the sun ..... and it's still going strong at over 200k miles!! May not be a show stopper, but it gets my admiration 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted December 1, 2004 Superb work Andi, makes me sad to see mine as filthy as it is, but I'm working so freakin' much I've not been at home when it's been light, let alone warm for weeks :( And nice new set of Avatars/Sig Tom 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted December 22, 2004 Right, she's getting some TLC this year (2005 that is) to get her back to her former glory for the summer. First up - finally fixed the following: - no air to feet - fan only works on 4 - no hot air (matrix blown) .......in one swoop with..... CLIMATE CONTROL. Unplug it from a Passat. Plug it into the Corrado. Or something like that.... hehehe. I mean, it took him ages, but I don't see why... (Only joking mate!) Jay Renshaw was kind enough to grace my car with his magic, so here is the second Corrado in the country with Climate Control in the C dash (and the last - he said never again!) plus the nice edition of RED switches for the controls ;) To do: Dials - thats January, when they arrive ;) Going for blue-background LCD (like the climate control (and also my Road Angel 2), with illuminescent dials, a la DDI Group Buy :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted December 22, 2004 Hmmmm - I don't suppose you've got a how to on the climate control?? - I take it it uses the original (Davia) system? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted December 22, 2004 Yes, it uses the already-in-place Davia aircon system, as well as a passat wiring loom, ducting, and of course, panel. The Davia Norm / Max buttons still function - so much so that the recirc. and ECON buttons on the panel don't function, as the Davia system controls that, rather than the panel. It's not a quick job. It took Jay, and this was his second time, 70+ hours to do?! I'm guessing there, but its a lot of work. There's some fabrication involved too. I'm not the best person to ask, as I didn't do it - but Jay is now away until the New Year. Whilst the dash was out though, I've had the majority of the electrics re-wired too, he said that it was a bit of a mess back there! ;) Stereo is now a lot more punchier and clearer now it sports a nice fat live wire and good grounding! 200k mile rehashed-many-a-time stereo wiring was probably not the most effecient! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted December 23, 2004 That, my good man, is a top job. Now that I've managed to dispose of my C, it seems that you have the rarest collection of bits on your C by far 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted February 10, 2005 Well, I installed the smoked In-Pro's today. Started peeing it down just as I crimped the last wire, so they're not quite lined up correctly and no photo yet. I've booked the car in for my driver's side wing to be resprayed and blended, plus I'm having the 'Corrado' badge removed from the rear (as rust is bubbling up under the spiked bit) and de-rusted then smoothed and resprayed. All whilst I'm at work and for £250. Not bad I thought... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
