VR6 0 Posted July 10, 2004 Golf engine, or engine cover. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akacheesy 0 Posted July 10, 2004 I think it may be just a different engine cover, is there any significant difference if it is a Golf engine? I mean noticeable physical difference? It looked excatly the same as mine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted July 10, 2004 The only way is to read engine codes which I think are on the side of the block. They have been listed on the forum before... i'll try searching to see if I can dig anything up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted July 10, 2004 http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewto ... ht=vr6+abv Found a thread with the info here. In short you need to whip out the airbox and the codes will be on the side of the block. If it starts AAA then its a Golf 2.8 unit.. if it reads ABV then its a Corrado 2.9 unit :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted July 10, 2004 Just had a quick look to see what mine says! :lol: Just so you know, if you do want to get a new Corrado VR6 DOHC cover you'll need to pilfer it from another C because they don't make them any more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted July 10, 2004 They were actually going to build card readers into that strip along the left edge of the cover, but they ran out of time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craigowl 0 Posted July 11, 2004 First car I've had where I have refused to add up what I've spent on it. Being retired, I know the sums would show that you really do go loopy as you get older! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
