I need YOUR help

[bigben 0]

this was my problem (quite a common one for corrados)

 

and this is what caused it

 

for anyone who does not know what it is

 

It is the pipe from the gear box the chassis leg on my 1990 16v C with a hydralic clutch but today i have found out this is a discontinued part! but i dont want to but one from a scrap yard cos i will prob be in th same situation in a weeks time!!

 

can anyone help me with a place to get one from?? im in north yorkshire

 

cheers

Given that this part is common to all Corrados and 1990 - 1993 Golfs/Passats I find that hard to believe...

i find it hard to belive too it is also the same on pre 1990 passats too the are different to the golf 16v ones but the same as the g60 ones so will they be the same as the corrado g60 ones :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

id imagine somewhere like pertek(spelling) or a place that does hyd fitting could remake that

Steveo29,thats what I thought when I saw it,

 

I've blown a few hydraulic hoses over the years,be it power steering or hydraulic drives on me truX.

 

Theres a company up here called 'hydrasun',perteks up ere too.

 

and like most they have an 'onsite' service,might be worthy of a ring I think if you cant source an oem part.

 

failing that Im sure a real mechanic could make somthing up :-P

Yeah, go to a different dealer mate, some just don't want to know when you mention 'Corrado'
