Shilakadaddy 0 Posted August 21, 2004 Something always needs fixing on the corrado, so lets see everyones 'to do' list, and who can finish it first... or infact at all! My List: Get supercharger rebuilt Fit audi door handles Stop exhaust blowing Fit new windscreen seal Fit new drivers door seal Fix sunroof Fix drivers door lock Fit oil cooler Change oil Fit New Alarm Build Sub Box - (need sub first) Did the last one a while ago, but makes me feel better having something to cross off :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted August 21, 2004 Get C back from the bodyshop then in no particular order Fit new rear shocks, springs, axle bushes, disks, pads and misc bolts Change oil & filter Change coolant Change brake fluid Change fuel filter Change air filter Change spark plugs Change serpentine belt & fix tensioner pulley Change tyres Replace misc temp sensors Fit modded rear Lupo wiper Fit uprated headlight loom & bulbs Clean the damn thing inside and out! I think that's about it for now, but at some point in the more distant future I also need to... Fix sunroof :roll: Fix sloppy steering (could be a number of things :( ) Get some decent music in there (not sure what that's going to entail yet) But on the plus side, so far I have done... Fit Lupo wiper arms Replaced front top mounts and disks & pads So I guess it's not allllll bad. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

saysomestuff 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Hi guys, I'm sure some of you can help me with this. I promise i have searched for ages. I'm looking for the thread that detailed all the stuff to do on a corrado when you first got it - i think it was Henny who wrote it and it was a really comprehensive list of all the componants to check and/or replace. It would really help, i need to start pre-empting faults on the C coz work thinks i'm a right hypocondriac, i've already had 3 "doctors appointments", 2 "dentist", 3 "eye checks" etc etc etc lol!
