For all those that haven't found it, here's the list of all known recalls affecting the Corrado in the UK.

 

Not sure if this is going to look right....

Now if someone can explain what the best way to contact VW uk is to check if your car has been done, that will make this thread another useful sticky-able resource... :)

From the VW UK FAQ:

 

How do I contact the Recall Campaign Help-desk?

The telephone number for the help desk is 01908 601243.

 

Note the fan recall above (which my chassis number falls into) only applies to cars that had air-con prep done to them, or were fitted with air-con. Presumably at the factory.

Looks very useful - cheers for that Doc.

[VR6 0]

Aye, go on then seeing as though you asked so nicely.

well according to this my car is eligble and seein as it has only recently just shat its matrix this is a winner, but i dont have air con, wots the deal with that like guys?

I just phoned up the Milton Keynes VW support line (campaign line as they call it) asking whether on my Rado the heater matrix might have been exchanged to cure the "possibility of coolant leakage into passenger compartment" issue due to an exploded matrix.

 

As the guy couldn't trace my car on license plate (import), or on VIN (didn't show up on their system), he couldn't help me, also mentioning that he thought the campaign, i.e. recall, had now been closed given the age of the vehicle !

 

Oh well, I'll just have to hope the matrix doesn't go pop :roll:

 

Anyone else had some more luck?

I checked at the local dealers about 3 months ago regarding the matrix they said they had never heard of the reacall for the 1989-1990 matrix prob.

I'll phone Vw I reckon :-)

 

I hate it when stealers rubber ear you

Im still wating for windscreen clips for about 4-6 weeks grrrrrrrrr

I just called the helpline and he told me straight away after I gave him the chassis no that they had replaced the cooling fan belt. Seemed a little too quick to me tbh - almost seemed as if they didnt want to know. I've asked him to send me a confirmation of this, so at least from the legal perspective I'll be covered. Should have asked when it was done though.

Fortunately the cowboys at the Stealership broke my wiring loom anyway so it avoided any arguments over recalls.

 

Still suspect my heater matrix is a bit iffy though, is this the 4th recall on that list??
