    Hi all, Is anyone on here still making hard brake lines for the above? I’m contemplating making my own but would only buy a decent flaring tool so that I can get a proper shaped flare. I see that Heritage sell various hard line sets for mk2 Golf etc but nothing for the Corrado. Trouble is the decent tools are almost 3x the cost of the line sets (for the golf) so it’s hard to justify just to make one set… Cheers, Matt

    Yes, give it a go. I built my first MK2 loom and didn't know which pin did what, 9v clicked the relay and I built it around that. 85 / 86 close the contacts 30 - 87, let there be light

    As above - great diagram. The current coming in from the headlight switch (this will be the old main beam cable, which is one of the reasons why these are needed as the current goes through the stalk and the headlight switch) will open the relay to send current direct from the battery to the headlight. Will 9v be enough to trigger the relay?

    You can use a 9v tv remote type battery to test a relay in conjunction with a multimeter, the pins spacing on the battery means you don’t need wires Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The relays will be the same, switch them around to prove your theory? Get someone to operate the switches whilst touching the relays to feel for the click

    Yup am reaching out across both medium - The yellow dim-dip connector is disconnected - Am trying to find a simple key to the relays / layout so I can check the relevant ones as the handbook and wiring diagramme manuals are impossible to fathom . .

    I think I saw this on FB if you posted there too - dim dip resistor disconnected is correct if you have an uprated loom. Could be a relay failure, most decent looms keep the OEM plugs intact (if not they will use spade connectors), so you could try bypassing it by connecting the original loom back in - one plug (usually drivers side) should just be sitting loose and unconnected in the bay, and the other on the passenger side will be connected to the new loom to control the relays. If the relays and fuses are not in a water tight sealed box, they can get wet or corrode.

    Hello all - Newbie here . . Today had a run out, previously all good but somehow I have lost the dipped headlights. They do come on with the main beam. Other symptoms are the small indicator light on the rocker switch goes out when the switch is advanced from side lights to headlights and there is no blue indicator light on the dash when the main beam is on . . . . It appears I have the uprated wiring loom as yellow plug which I assume is the "dim-dip" resistor is NOT connected. . . . is this likely a simple relay failure ?

    Actually if anyone has a flywheel and maybe a good gearbox let me know! 😉 are the ARB bushes on a stock setup VR 18mm?
  21. Geeba
    I'm still here! - finally working on the Corrado again... engine is back from Silverstone and close to going in.... lost the flywheel over the years so looking for one of those and ARB bushes... I keep meaning to join and post some pictures, but the forum seems a bit hit and miss... sometimes pages dont work etc?

    This is the rust that was cut out !

    I did the solid column years ago, it does make it feel a lot more positive, The cowls are getting hard to find, early and late “bottoms” are the same,just different part numbers, tops are different due to the hazard light ! Had the car in the body shop last Xmas, new sills, (eBay ones)came galvanised.Fitted really well, rear arches were showing signs of tin worm, so scored a set of second hand arches of eBay, cleaned up like new ! Front wings were not good, couldn’t find a decent set of late wings,so got a set of used “early”wings from a breaker local to me (eBay again) nearly rust free,the metal seems thicker on the earlier wings ! Body shop did a really good job putting it all together, bottom of the car was resprayed ,looks new again, struggling to put pics up at the moment

    297K wow. Yes definitely write more about your Corrado. Have you had to do any rust repairs etc at that sort mileage? I suppose it never stops to even get a chance to rust! Have you done the mk2 fixed column? I'm interested in exploring that to remove the up and down play and the fixed columns seem more serviceable with bearings. Assume I can keep my existing key?

    I must update this more regularly, I did the Polo rear brake upgrade, really easy bolt on, everything fits as it should, and no silly tapered bearings ! ABS was a straight fit, if you do a lot of miles like me, go for it. If anybody is interested, I have all the part numbers, sorry only got them for a four stud car P.S. now on 297k, drivers seat out being re-trimmed, so slumming it on an old fabric seat

    I have H and R ARBs I bought off Billcor on the forum 8 / 10 years ago, unused in my garage loft

    What issues might I get with either setup and which would you recommend ?
  34. _Matt_
    New clutch master and slave fitted + a proper Hunter alignment over the last few days. The car is rejuvenated and useable again: tracks spot on and the clutch issues I had with juddering have gone away. The pedal was also not returning and sometimes the clutch was not fully disengaging. The place I took it to was local, recommneded by a local fellow Corrado owner, I'm really happy with the outcome, they are engineers rather than fitters. The workshop had a mix of old and new 911s, TVR, Fiat X1, Triumph or some sort, GTV6 80s Alfa, Citreon ZM and a Vauxhall Senator. The clutch master I supplied was a LHD version as RHD is obsolete, he made it all work and even refitted it after bleeding it up as the pedal sat too high and engineered a solution to make it sit at the right height. I'm sure many fitters would have just left the pedal and inch too high or worse still refused to work on the car. I asked them to give the car an inspection as I've done quite a bit of work with the axle and it got a clean bill of health. There was a note that the subframe has had a weld repair due to seized bolt in the past, which I knew about and have a replacement already refurbished to go on. It would have made sense to do this time around due to the alignment but I still need to purchase uprated ARBs and Vibra Technic engine mounts... a purchase that will have to happen after Christmas now.

    Am i reading this correctly the supplier is making 10 but only 9 has had the deposit paid

    Could i possibly have the 10th one if the original buyer does not pay the deposit

    Thanks
