Fuel tank swap vw corrado 16v

[sheppeydave 0]

Will I be able to fit a mk2 golf fuel tank to my corrado 16v?

You didn't say if yours is 55 or 70 litre ?

I just checked both part numbers and they do seem Corrado specific !

Happy for someone to prove me wrong !

I'm sure they're shaped differently, I have a mk3 fuel pump in a 70l tank and the float arm was shaped differently to the Corrado one

No idea I think it's a 55 litre??

Hello there,

 

I'm sure the MK2 Golf fuel tank will not fit the Corrado,

I think it's a slightly different shape but only just,

the real difference is the fuel neck area, it's too long or too short to that of the Corrado's 55 ltr tank,

and I think the same for the 70 ltr one as well.

Well the 70ltr is a much bigger tank any way.

 

The front end on the MK2 Golf is very close to the Corrado and so is the floor pan,

but the rear is slightly different as it has a slightly wider track as the Corrado's have the Passat rear beam axle,

to that of the MK2 Golf.

A MK3 Golf fuel tank will or should fit a MK2 Golf,

as the floor / boot panels are very similar.

but they don't fit the Corrado as the Corrado has a much more rigid shell and so feels differ on the road.

 

MK2 and MK3 Golf fuel tanks.

 

 

Hope this helps,
