Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Complete - £60 posted When fitted to a Corrado, the rear bias valve can be deleted, the ECU is built into the pump and it doesn't need a pedal position sensor, so is a much more compact and reliable system compared to the Corrado's. Others who've fitted it report a better feel to the brake pedal. Was going to fit to my car, but it's now sold, so surplus to requirements.

Dox 23 Posted October 13, 2012 PM'd That doesn't tell the rest of us anything - are you buying it or arranging a dinner date? I'll have it if its not taken? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted October 13, 2012 Dinner, Mine at 8 if you are interested? So many forums and so many intricacies on what you should and should not say in public... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted October 13, 2012 Dinner, Mine at 8 if you are interested? So many forums and so many intricacies on what you should and should not say in public... I've lost out on items before when "PMd" appears and some random question asked only for others to jump in after.............. Never mind ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonedef 9 Posted October 13, 2012 I'll take this if it's still for sale? Need another wiring challenge! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 13, 2012 Sean Jaymo offered me the asking price over PM. Technically he should have said "I'll take it" in this thread but he had a question before buying, so I'll let it slide on this occasion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted October 13, 2012 No problem with me, your item, he got in first ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easypops 8 Posted October 13, 2012 Off topic slightly..........but, how easy would it be to fit this to a corrado? If you could just supply a complete set of instructions, that would be great :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Tom 0 Posted October 15, 2012 I fitted it to the TDi and if I'm honest it's not the most straightforward conversion, as in it's not 'plug and play' but neither is it amazingly complicated if you can read a wiring diagram, do some minor modifying to the ABS light, have the capability to make up new brake pipes as well as the know-how to remove the heater unit and majority of the interior to fit the wiring. The good thing about it is that you can remove the rear proportioning valve completely as it's not needed in the new system. Also, as Kev says, you lose the ABS position sensor which is good as it's one less (expensive) thing to go wrong. You'll need the rear ABS sensors from the Mk3 Golf (a late one) or alternatively sensors from a 6N2 Polo TDi/GTi/100bhp 16V (doesn't matter as long as it has rear discs) will fit and they are what I used. Other than that it's just a case of removing the interior and the original ABS system from your car, including all of the wiring and brake pipes. Make a good note of what wires go where in the fusebox as there are a few differences but its fairly straightforward to figure it all out. Then modify the ABS light to fit in the Corrado dash - luckily I used the same system but from a B4 Passat TDi which used a very similar ABS light to the Corrado so it was easy to make it work, I'm not sure about the Mk3 Golf system. Fit all of the hardware to the car then make up the new brake pipes - you'll need to do the whole car except for the small pipes on the rear beam, although if they're old then you might as well replace them too. It's worth upgrading to braided hoses if you haven't already done so and at the same time it'd be worth fitting Mk4 rear calipers and new handbrake cables, again if you haven't already done so. Once that's done, fit the new sensors (the original front sensors will work no problem), fill the system with fluid, bleed it, test that your wiring is all OK then put the interior back together. Job done :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkFoster 0 Posted October 15, 2012 I love the way people like Tom and Kev make these things sound so simple. It took me 2 months to swap my interior out, clean in and then put it back! I can honestly say, a job like this would need to be measured in years for me not weeks or months! Hang on a minute, I've had an idea - T&K Autos anyone?!
