Great bit of detective work 👍
-
That is in the right place. Unless it is lubed, the dry seal tight fit can distort. Definitely worth the new genuine parts. The torque value is really low, but I am trying to survive prague 🍻 at the moment. Happy to check the Bentley when back, but I am sure someone will post up 1st
-
I just put some plain Alpine ones in the mk2 golf. Same as fitted to the Corrado. Fit fine, you either need an Ebay pair of adaptor plugs for under £3 or use spade connectors.
All cheap and cheerful, work a treat. I'm sure if you want the best someone will be along soon

What is the limit before we get super taxed on imports as that includes the postage too...

Mecatechnic France are very good and only £5.50 delivery - much quicker then classics or Heritage- they are my no1 company I use now.
Heritage I will use if genuine vag and in stock if not I avoid as takes far to long (6- 8 weeks)and they are very incompetent.
Great link that 👍👌
-
As long as it it is still a genuine part or the best available, I am happy anywhere
-
Some people don't get on with Heritage, but they have always been good with me. I just avoid the topran branded stuff.
I have always got my classic parts through them , with their help and that has always been good.
Keyo uses someone else for classic parts that seems to work well for him
And he's just replied as I am typing 🤣🤣

Mine came with adhesive on the backing. I thought they all did !!

That is a ball ache of a job with no easy solution apart from effort.
Well done in tackling it as they always look great when re-foamed
-
Looks a great job. What car will you put those in?

9 hours ago, oneohtwo said:If anyone is still following this saga it may have resolved itself... All a bit odd. Will keep monitoring it. I did find the throttle cable was a bit slack, and I have always thought the pedal was a bit unresponsive, so I tightened that up. Surprisingly easy job, there's just a clip that holds the cable in place, don't even need any tools.
That's improved things markedly and made low speed running a lot better, just picks up straight away now. So that could have been part of the issue. I also think the rest of the odd running at low speed is down to the dashpot being knackered. At low throttle it hardly offers any damping and is slow to react, so the throttle is just snapping shut.
I'm still having a good read even though I can't offer any solutions. Keep trying as we eventually get things solved.
Then we feel good..til the next thing happens

Congratulations on the award. A Great reward for all of your effort

I am absolutely gutted for you. Bastards.... but at least you do use yours. It is a shame that this is the result.
Keep doing your best to look after her.And when you respray her, you need a garage 😊

waiting to pull in at a junction, the van pulling out put down his window and shouted 'nice car mate'
then when I was back home, a couple of kids walked past and said the same, plus a few double takes from other drivers 🙂
Result 👍

When I come out there’s a guy stood looking at the Corrado, “Love the car” he says, goes on to tell me he wanted one in the day but never had one etc etc. I get in to leave and he gets in his GT3, wish I’d realised, he might have done a straight swap!!!
That's why we keep them 😇
-
Hell yes that looks great.
Get it ceramic coated when you can, to keep it that way 👍
-
Welcome back mate. It seems impossible to stay away from a Corrado but at least you have a good base car. She looks a fine example and is a great colour.
What made you buy another one? Just curious as I'm sure we all may find ourselves in the sell.....have time and money...... then buy another Corrado 😳😂
-
I'm with MJA and GrahanU, get them out. They only bond back in.
You will he glad that you did it . What's a little more work... 😂
-
It does look very nice and will find a new home. GLWS, there isnt a better example 👍
-
Connection update. I shall edit my last post as the small female spade connectors are too small but the 4mm ones fit the small connector. So I have just ordered some of the standard 6mm spades for the larger terminal
-
You are definitely getting on with your motor sorted, fantastic 👍
-
The car looks great and a cheque book cannot buy what you have.
Well done in achieving your car and getting her out and about. I'm definitely jealous as my car is blocked in, but yours is great to see
-
As above and get the hosepipe out to see if it helps
-
I've bought these to try. I shall unpin from the original connector and keep that. Cut off the old pins and fit what is needed. To be fair the conversion lead I bought tucked up out of the way easily
