Cressa

https://the-corrado.net/topic/86870-288mm-brake-upgrade/ Check it out. And the wheel bolt caps are the genuine longer VW items, even a VW item for the locking wheel bolt too

Yes it did, only slightly. So I just pushed it off and it stayed back ,👍

SOLD.....SOLD.....SOLD To a great guy and forum member Neil. A man that has more Vr6's than I have legs.... must be mad!! But respect for a Corrado collector 😂

Do you mean the caps on top of the suspension strut? Also ABV have you had chance to look at the 288mm brake upgrade thread? It is nearly finished, just need to add some relevant information details on it 😇

Looks good finished

No chance, no idea 😂

Sorry mate didnt see this post!! The flap stays shut until 4k rpm. Being shut this gives the low down Schrick magic torque, then at 4k opens allowing the Vr6 usual ooomph

They would all work as basically the switch operates allowing the vacuum through. Just used your part number and vw heritage have the exact one and exactly the same as mine. Keep building up your spares 😇

Ooo very nice. 👍

Definitely. Keyo I found this with the correct plug on, but would need a clip or tyrapping https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133498138669

I will definitely take you up on that offer, thanks 👍just need to think about what tool to use to cut it with !!

They are around and Vag, used on lots and lots of cars. Essentially it is an electrical switch controlling the vacuum from passing through https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201826625041 Slightly different but does the job. And would only need the electrical plug changing

Rubbish picture of the solenoid valve!

Nearly..... at 4k rpm the signal is sent from the ecu to the rpm switch box/ Schrick controller, then to the solenoid valve ( black skinny thing with 2 wires and 2 pipes at). This solenoid is what moves from Normally closed to Open at your setting, normally 4k. This unit allows the vacuum through to the vacuum operated actuator which is on the manifold and connected via a rod. This in turn then opens the flap . The bottle reservoir to me is a piece of magic but has no electrical connections, just vacuum lines in and out. Connects from the vac take off point to the reservoir, to the solenoid valve then to the actuator..... Clear as mud, unless you just fitted it yesterday 😎 and boy have I spent hours researching and thinking of this. Now I feel that I could fit 10 a day after stressing over doing this 🤣🤣

👍 If you get a pic with a tape measure next to it that would be great. Blue tac sounds a good idea as I was thinking of some thin sponge with water based paint on it. As i have had this over a year, there is no rush 😊

Update, the Jegs unit is a fantastic digital piece of kit. Works perfectly for negative switching of the solenoid valve for the Schrick. Easily programmed for 6cyl - 4000rpm - NC valve. Wired into the ECU wiring easy enough and I've put mine in a weatherproof box wedged in next to the ECU. Only downside seems to be that if you want one it has to come from the USA. Well worth the wait as the Schrick switching unit is well and truly obsolete and the Jegs is cheaper than MSD. Thread finished for me, but this may just help someone else one day 👍

Had a few hours to test and see if all of the components for the Schrick manifold would work. When purchased it had a different rpm controller to the standard Schrick one. I did speak to Stealth who suggested getting an MSD unit but thought I would try and find out more on the one I had. Turns out it is a JEGS RPM digital controller and I found some instructions online too. Sh#t myself worrying about wiring it up just to see if it worked, but it did. After some confidence boosting pics from easypops I have wired into the ECU and everything else. This rpm switch allows you to easily adjust its switch point and is extremely helpful bring digital and displays the car rpm that it links to. So a huge thanks to Martin for his help. I wasnt sure if any of the ancillaries would work but I plumbed it in and gave it a try. Placing the schrick manifold upside down on my engine I connected the vac line to it and started the car. Huge relief that it started as normal and the rpm controller was matching my tick over.. Increasing the revs it displays on the rpm controller and as soon as it hit 4k that I programmed it to the flap opened, result. Next 20 mins spent doing the same over and over again 🤣🤣 open,close..open, close. The manifold cant be fitted until I swap the front engine mount for a vibratechnics one and maybe look at the other 2. And a cut to the bonnet i believe 😲 Another problem I had was trying to keep it all OEM looking and all the aircon relays being where most people put the vacuum reservoir. See what you think The big positive for me is that it all works

So mine were a bargain 😊 I don't mind as they go to a forum members home. But if he doesn't come next week I may have to cash in 💰💰💰🤣🤣

Too poor 🤣🤣 I'm not surprised since buying those audioscope pods 🤪

I've seen Shaun's upgrade of the fans, like a bloody jet engine. Must add an extra 30hp pulling the car forward by sucking the air In. Warning...Never stand in front of a Corrado that has those fitted 🤣

I will second that 👍Happy new year🥂

Front end off again 😁 Noooo

Just measured Hella one. The core is approximately 34mm

Damn. I dont see how there is any space without taking the front end off.
