    Just to update on my banjo bolt situation.... After a short hospital stay I finally got a chance to look into getting the old girl sorted and to my surprise when I looked at the smaller of the two banjo bolts, the one I took off the car didnt have the small filter in it, so I presume at some point its been changed and not with an OEM bolt. Given the car ran fine, just going to run on that basis, so ordered a couple of HEL performance stainless steel ones and also ordered a couple of the large bolts from the LLL website, so thanks for those Matt it was very useful. No excuses for me now! Dougie

    nice line up n3p. ULEZ etc is a bugger for those it affects, a Corrado in the garage would be a lovely thing to have when wanted alongside any of those lovely motors 😄

    I do still check back every now and then as I love Corrados! Had a chance to buy another recently but the ULEZ thing just doesn't make it worthwhile to me 😞 I've had a few different cars since, but nothing has quite scared me as much as my VR6 turbo did - good times! Since I sold my Corrado, and boring cars aside I've had owned the following: FK8 Type R - best handling car I've owned to this day! W205 C63 AMG 971 Panamera GTS Current - DB11 V8 (Missed the C63 engine that much!)

    Could be, I've no idea. Might just have seen an opportunity to save a few pence on costs with no loss of performance. Somewhat ironically, I think the cold starting issue (which started this process) may have just been due to a loss of pressure from fuel leaks. It's been sat for a couple of months whilst I looked into all this, so I replaced the battery and it started first time. Might replace the fuel pump anyway as the Bosch seems a good unit and it should give a lot more miles of service than the existing. The Pierburg can be a spare.

    I apologize, thanks for the recomendation. I posted it there as well.

    Thanks, I might do some more research on the MK1 Octavia as already a couple of scrappies don't have the Passat sunroof or if they do most likely it will be at a premium!

    Very kind offer, however most on here are UK based just FYI - could try VW Vortex forums for higher foot fall

    Hi there, I'm cleaning my basement and was about to throw these away. If anybody can use them - you can come get them. I was not allowed to post this in PARTS FOR SALE. I assume because I just created this account to give these away and it is still new. I do not intend to be an active member, since I do not have a vehcle that is discussed here. But if mods can put this post in its correct place I'd appreciate it. I'd just hate to toss these to the landfill if they could be of use to somebody.

    Hi, Thank you . its not too difficult to replace the sunroof mechanism , just a bit time consuming . The way i did it was to remove the complete sunroof cassette from the B3/B3.5 and transfer into the Corrado ,Its all a direct fit ,even the motor wiring plug is the same. The headliner obviously has to be removed so you have to unscrew all the pillar inner trims and sunvisors etc As for model years i think any year B3 or B3.5 sunroof will work . its also said that the mk1 Skoda Octavia pre facelift sunroof will also fit ? Dont know this for sure ,I've additionally heard it has to be a combi model ??

    There is, comparative to the past, a sea of Corrado's for sale at the moment, some nice ones too - G60 on Ebay for 9995 looks clean. Prices are still quite strong, compared to say a Mk2 Golf which historically has been priced higher. Whether they sell is anyone's guess I suppose. I look most days in the hope of finding a bargain, but the cheap ones would cost more than a nice one to put right so haven't had any luck.

    I suspect the gellifying of modern E10 fuels causes starvation due to choking the pump via the screen to the point the screen gets sucked into the pump causing a bigger issue than the Gell?

    I did actually get a reply from Bosch (were pretty quick to respond on email tbf; the guy on the phone was useless), and they said the filter was deleted in 2022 by the factory, as removing it didn't impact performance. I find it slightly odd putting it in without, but as Bosch have presumably tested it and found it fine I'll go ahead. The VDO sender has arrived as well, and fits, so I think we are all good to go.

    Still look in practically every day Still have the G60 but due to go for its winter hibernation Still have various projects ongoing when i have the time which is not a lot at present

    Yep, for me returning to the forum and seeing all the content has been super useful. Lack of images are a problem and it's usually the image you need the most! I was thinking the other day that if people still had these images we could get as many uploaded somewhere and using an AI tool *try* to categorise them somehow. Won't be perfect but might give us something we can refer back too for the future? I'd be happy to give that a go if we could get enough people to pull together the photos.

    Amazing work and some great inspiration for my VR6 build, especially seeing all of that fresh looking paint! Quick question, how hard was the sunroof fix and do I need to get a specific b3.5 model/year? Thanks, Harin

    So bringing this thread up to date here is the car as more or less is at present. ITs fully legal now and ended up being only 214 euro VRT due to being over 30 years old .Result!! I've also got these VW Sebring 16" wheels made by Bstar for that oem+ look .Have got around to fitting them as of yet !
  43. Brian1975
    My original set of foglamps were in good enough condition but the reflectors inside were a bit tarnished and rusty , i came across a seller in Europe on insta with these and i had to have them ! There was a guy in the UK T/A vw stainless that was making SS fastener kits for various vw,s .I got the complete set for a Corrado ,its a very well thought out kit , i havnt used all of the parts as i dont like a lot of bling but they look a lot cleaner than all the original rusty stuff I fitted a B3.5 Passat glass sunroof (or Moonroof ) it brightens up the dark gloomy interior and the sliding mechanism is much more reliable than the origional.
