Gibbo_tdi 10 Posted May 18, 2012 Hi there always meant to join this forum as my favourite car is the corrado . But unfortunatley at the moment I don't own one recently sold my beloved valver ( big mistake ) . I am looking to buy another 1.8 16v corrado so just thought I would join up and hopefully get some help and advice of members on here . Also will be looking at doing a 1z tdi diesel conversion on a corrado hopefully . So I anyone knows any helpful advice in that regard that would be excellent Cheers Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbo_tdi 10 Posted May 18, 2012 I have had a look at purple toms thread on here and on tdi club and is by far the best resource to even contemplate doing the tdi swap. Just hopefully all Will fall together lol just neeD to find a suitable rado and passat b4 donor not in any rush mind . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbo_tdi 10 Posted May 21, 2012 Yet just need to find a decent corrado and doner car but not in any rush ATM but would certainly like another corrado in the next year then hopefully a tdi conversion in quick succession . But I wouldn't mind having a look at your conversion mind is it much harder for the arl engine ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
borachris 0 Posted May 21, 2012 If you want PM me your number and I'll drop you a text next time I know I've got a day to do some work on it, I'm only 5 mins away from portrack if you go the back way past old ICI. I'm taking it easy at the moment cos I just had a vasectomy yesterday lol The engine mounts in the same way, wiring is harder but I got AndyO from ACR in darlo to make my engine loom partly because I'm colour blind lmao Turbo manifold is a bit of a pain in the arse, mainly due to the bigger turbo though!
