TanVr6 0 Posted May 29, 2015 She flew through her MOT the other day. But I asked the mechanic to go over the car and recommend some improvements. I have added it to my list and now have the following list: 1. New HT leads (anyone had experience with these) or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magnecor-KV85-Ignition-HT-Leads-wire-cable-VW-Corrado-VR6-2-8i-1991-1994-AAA-/131211739792?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e8cd44290 2. Bosch or Iridium Spark Plugs (I had Platinum ones fitted 3 years ago (6k miles so far) 3. Oil Sump & gasket (slight leak from gasket) GSF and eBay have different brands available. Vw useless!!!(dont stock anymore) 4. Pair of Front wishbones & R32 Bushes ready to fit kit available on ebay, although brand is Topran) not to keen on them unless you guys have used and give it the approval. TRW & OCAP available on Euro Vetech on GSF Also Meyle & others on VW Heritage 5. Maybe ball joints aswell as Im doing the wishbones? 6. TT Arms & Wipers - Stealers only I guess! Taking her on the Wales Road trip. She needs to be running sweet! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TanVr6 0 Posted May 29, 2015 could i ask why you quarter the bonnet with tape? i take it you then have to remove said tape & blend those parts? I was trying different compounds and pads. Then when I find the right combo, I pass over the lines to blend in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TanVr6 0 Posted May 30, 2015 Got a price from Midland VW Fit 263 cams £240 New followers £120 Both gaskets £25 Oil Sump & gasket inc. fitting will be £140 (if they can get hold of genuine sump) Front wishbones with R32 bushes inc fitting £208 Ball joints £44 New HT leads £44 Magnecor don't fit the manifold cover properly? I thought they did? Any advice here guys? On alternative options on my list? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted May 30, 2015 magnecors are slightly too thick for the plastic channels. You could file the retaining lugs down a tad. Otherwise there are some black ones (cant remember where from) for around £40 which seem to get good reviews Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
