Cressa

They are on the VW classic Corrado metal sign. There were some for sale on FB for only 150 for a couple of months. I couldn't believe they struggled to sell. Had I have been nearer I would have snapped them up. But who needs 4 sets of wheels!!! 🤣

Great looking motor, great purchase. Maybe start with some brighter headlight bulbs and an uprated loom. My best invested purchase for the Corrado has been clear headlight protectors and fog light protectors. I dont fancy having to sell my liver or kidneys to replace them due to a stone chip... 🤣

😥 Brought a tear to my eyes 🤣🤣

Sod this, stick it in a Corrado 🤣🤣 Only kidding. I had a mk3 16v and loved it. But an R36 in one, impressive. I like that fact you bought a totally good car and will rip it apart. Ballsy and very sensible 💪 Have a read of what GrahamU has done with his Corrado, as that has been a fantastic and different build. Good luck with all of this and like everyone else, look forward to the updates. I hope the gearbox is what it says, damned cheaper than refurbing one. It's gonna be great 🍻

Where on the car is that fitted?

The 4bar Lucas one I purchased works absolutely fine.

WOW, Jesus........ I think Gates were the oe make and readily available. Easy to change and I believe there is even a how to on this forum in the wiki

Oooo the new VW roof gutter trims are very nice

Perfect fit. i think it sorted my warm start issue but i also fitted a one way valve at the same time

Cold start idle issue has definitely been solved. Thanks to trying a known good coil pack from Shaun it has solved the problem. Starts fine, idle initially high and then drops to around 650 ish but smooth. So thanks Shaun and hopefully my new coil pack will be delivered this week.👏👏 I do still get a slight cabin vibration as it goes up yo about 2.5k that has never gone away. I did change all the engine mounts but that made no difference. I'm putting it down to the chains maybe as they haven't been done yet and she is at 124k, but that will have to wait 👀

So bloody true. Ground pump rubbish. Ya cant beat a good fire to keep you warm 💥

And from a fire perspective, the sodding things are a pain to try and put out. But everyone buries their head in the sand on this happening in a multistorey car park...... That fire appliances cant get into. M1 was shut for 6hrs due to 6 electric Jaguars on fire on a car transporter, then each one put in a tipper lorry and a full fire and police escort to a specialist yard in the West midlands. The world Is going mad and this is a bad future Oh well 🙄

Christ, How muuuuuch....... 🤯

My latest bump-rattle was finally traced to the drop links from the ARB to the wishbones, so worth a quick check. Just look closely as from a distance it seemed fine.... 🤞Goodluck

I have a Phenolic spacer plate too. Well a piece of hard plastic thingy to keep it off the head. I don't see any cracks from heat but it is knackered in the middle 2 sockets. Turns out this is a Bremi item, so I assume was changed by someone. I may just treat her to a Beru item ££££££

A huge thank you to Shaun and his delivery service. He dropped off an ignition coil pack for me to try, 15 minute job and it's a different car. Glad to have her back working. Nice to know I will only be buying a new coil pack and not a MAF as well. Everyone needs a Corrado friend close by 💪

-https://the-corrado.net/topic/57324-vr6-coil-pack-issue/ Just read this. It talks about ICM... is that ignition coil module?... or something else

Yes mate. If you are around tomorrow I could call over 👍 Great idea Dox, thanks. I think I read somewhere that the coil pack are linked in pairs, I don't know how they work anyway, so might just do a bit of studying on theae

I had half an hour with the car today. Plugged in my VCDS which isnt brilliant, but it did show up the fault codes of everything I had unplugged. Maf, potentiometer.... cleared and not reappeared. I have a niggle about it not firing on all 6 cylinders but in having a Schrick manifold, access to the plugs isnt easy. But I did fit new NGK ones and leads when I fitted the Schrick last year, so they should be okay, maybe... Then I decided to put some gloves on and pull the leads at the coil pack, one at a time. And I got this: Nearest to me top and bottom both arc'd and caused the engine to run badly when disconnected one at a time. Furthest to me top and bottom both arc'd and caused the engine to run badly when disconnected one at a time. Middle 2...... no change, no arcing, nothing. So I would think that leads me to the coil pack, what do others think? Yes it could be just those 2 leads and plugs, but how could I test this further? Hmmm

Cheers Shaun. I thought I read that the cold map was taken from a blue sensor, but this was changed for genuine only a couple of years ago. I do wonder if it is on its ar#e due to me switching the wrong socket for the trickle charger and the car went flat for about 2 weeks before I noticed. Thinking it lost all of its settings. But I cant get it out as its blocked in by another project 🤬🤬

Just trying that now as a quick fix. The mesh grille is a bit dirty, so the sensor may be.. Shite when cold, Happier when warm but unplugging the MAF made no change Definitely the same symptoms. I hate the car at idle. I was having a good read of a thread you had posted. I may just bite the bullet of a Bosch. Classic now list this part, but it does mean getting hammered on import tax ££££ There isn't much I haven't changed, so this must be the last part hopefully. I was worried it may have a plug or lead down and that would be a bitch with a Schrick on top as that's how it feels at idle. Watch this space, Thanks Gents

Thinking of replacing the airflow sensor on my vr6. 0280 217 504 021 906 462. Now I know this is a later one, but I was wondering if anyone has sourced a decent one. I intend on cleaning mine tomorrow as when I unplug it, there is no change!

I do love a set of speedlines. Did you get them from Classics?

Well I didnt forget the Corrado, even if she only got a new genuine Throttle position sensor and some front wheel bearings which are delayed in the Santa Post. I hope everyone has had a great xmas

And distilled water with coolant when all is done, not tap water 😊
