I sold via Classix auction group. It sold before it entered an auction to a private buyer. [/url] https://m.facebook.com/classixauctiongroup I got c10.5k after commission (about 600ish) or something like that. I think the walk around video and sales patter helps motivate a buyer to part with their cash. Buyer also got an hour (or however long they wanted) with the car at their premises to inspect it without the owner (me). I think this stuff helps sell niche toys. Car and Classic I did consider but I have noticed on the various cars I have watched that there is either funny business happening with bids or something else as the cars do not sell for the final bid price and are re entered multiple times and sometimes end up on ebay with the same pics under the owners account. They also don't do the walk around videos. Sent from my SM-G990B2 using Tapatalk

They can take months to sell. Your location in Cornwall will put many off as its a long way to travel just to look at a car. You could get the car to a specialist auction house to get it sold. I sold one through Classix for more than your asking price and it was gone in a week... but I think I got lucky as the buyer specifically wanted the colour. Price wise I think you are fine. There is not a lot of money about for toys but it will sell. Corrado prices are bucking the downward trend that even say the mk2 golf is experiencing and finally finding solid foundations in their value. Sent from my SM-G990B2 using Tapatalk

That is an amateur oversight on PVW behalf. Did they send their apprentice or something? Sent from my SM-G990B2 using Tapatalk

There is a guy on the corrado Facebook page that can tell you. If it is mystic blue it is almost certainly a storm. If it is green then easy to fake. Sent from my SM-G990B2 using Tapatalk

I'll take a pair without the circlips please

Lifts the boot area no end, nice progress. Sent from my SM-G990B2 using Tapatalk

Well done great news!

Nice looking car with some great effort put in. Worth every penny! Sent from my SM-G990B2 using Tapatalk

Same here 10w40 semi synth. Interestingly though, a Bosch Garage who I got service my old one also suggested 5w40 when they searched too but I asked them to put 10w40 in.

The wheels have turned out epic! Wow. Good luck with future endeavours. I've always fancied giving couring a go one day. My step dad retired from the police at 50 and does a day a week for a fruit and veg place. Can be tough but being out and about, preferably not during rush hour, seems a nice place to get some exercise and some freedom. Be careful with the speed limits is the only take away I have.

oh no sorry to hear. Hope you've managed to find another job? Either way a I hope it becomes just a minor blip in your life and things get back on the straight and narrow soon. Appreciate it must have been dark times 😞

Hi Andrew, I am not sure on answers but have a regulator handy here for pics so thought i'd share. I've never replaced before but did have a stuck passenger window. A few taps of the motor with a hammer whilst cycling up and down the button got it free'd up and it's been as good as gold since.

I'm interested in info on stock springs. I'm wanting to refresh my car and perhaps leave it stock but don't want to end up with the later lofty ride height. I'm pretty sure mine is earlier style as doesn't appear to be as high (early 94 car, 5 pin maf, 90mm splitter). I havent come across the part no on OPs post before so perhaps they are the earlier style spring, I have seen 357411105A mentioned for Corrado VR6 on parts diagrams which is perhaps the later spring. Anyone know anything about the rears? I had thought before reading this thread that is was the rears vw raised on later cars but perhaps not the case. Sent from my SM-G990B2 using Tapatalk

Great milestone. You're on the home straight now Sent from my SM-G990B2 using Tapatalk

I'm dragging up an old thread as I try and work out whether I want to stay stock or go mild lowering and sell off my wheels (speedline 16s, bbs 16s nothing as nice RSs). Chris - cheers for the text the otherday on the front spings. I live rural and did feel I slightly ruined my last corrado by lowering it. Yes it looked nice but I lost the supple ride that ultimately made it rattle less and it was quicker down a country lane on stock suspension. I had eibachs and bilsteins last time, eventually switched out the eibachs to H&R which improved the ride on harsh bumps. All bushes were new on the old car, but it was never as good a it was on stock suspension to drive. Yandards post interested me as I had heard similar elsewhere: rear springs were changed on later cars to increase height. I thought it was something to do with pedestrain crash safety but maybe not. Anyway I like the way early cars sit and mine being a L/94 and I guess early at that as I have the old style 5 pin MAF and was just researching to see if I could find out what would identify the rear springs as being the "lower" stock version? I looked at parts diagrams and only see two springs listed for the Corrado 1H55 1111 5K https://www.autodoc.co.uk/spares-search?keyword=1H55 1111 5K&supplier[1]=32 and 191511115F https://www.autodoc.co.uk/spares-search?keyword=191511115F&supplier[1]=32. The part 191 is of course mk2 era and relates to the early G60 and 16v. As those cars are the ones that "sit" right out the box I'm wondering if anyone has tried those rear springs on a VR6? I can't work out if the front is also higher on a VR6 vs the early cars. Probably not a consideration most have thought about but perhaps some posters have in this thread. Looking at specs for those two springs it seems the 191.. springs are 309mm long vs the 1H55.. springs are 338mm long so may well be onto something however can't find any similar difference in spring height on the front springs for either early or late corrados to match that difference on the rear5..11115F191511115F191511115F I might buy a set and try them for size. For me a vr6 set at the same height as say an early Corrado https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1991-volkswagen-corrado-g60-1 with factory comfort and damping would be perfect. My current corrado does seem to sit slightly lower at the back vs my last one however it could just be the colour difference decieving my eyes. Neither of mine sit as nicely as that collecting cars g60 though.

Cheers Shaun, i'm pretty sure it's the drivers track assembly as there is so much vibration in it when turned. I'll do a mini front end refresh over next couple of months. Interestingly I did manage to get the camber spot on both sides with my digital spirit level and some heath robinson style sockets taped to a bit of metal laid across the alloy to clear tyre. Yet to take it for a drive though.

Chris where did you find your oem springs? My car has the same colours and had a look on vw classics by part no without success. I am debating staying stock and at a stage where i need to buy some parts.

Nice one Fen, must admist never taken it apart but good to see it documented as no doubt will have to. Q how much play should there be on the wiper arms in there rest position? Mine have a good 2cm of slop.

I'll probably leave it I think. There are few components that could do with replacing and makes sense to tackle as 1 job with 1 alignment. One outer track rod I can't even make out where the locking nut ends and track rod begins even after wire brushing etc...doubt it can be adjusted plus the outer (or inner) make a lot of noise like dry rubber (see vid), can feel it resonate strongly in the entire track rod arm. Tbh I am touch an go whether I want to drive it great distance. https://youtube.com/shorts/bXcS2gno9Io

Hi, No is probably the answer as I've never been able to achieve shock off without basic tracking afterwards. Q - so assuming the camber is set by the two bolts at the bottom of the shock into the knuckle. Tracking/toe off of the track rods. If I don't touch the track rods and put the camber back to where it was pre shock removal is there any chance I can get away without have the car tracked afterwards? Never achieved it in the past with a bubble spirit level to set camber however I have recently purchase a digital spirit level to 2dp. Debating whether to change top mounts before Cosford but if it's not going to be possible to get it back together without tracking I'll leave it. Cheers

Very tidy!

Hi Fen, is this any good:

Cheers will read up. I do get the light on occasionally now but all other issues with idle/stall are solved now with just giving it a good drive and using the revs.

Good to know - wrong assumption to make on mine then! I'll take it for a drive tomorrow and hopefully all will be normal with battery disconnect and relearn. Sent from my SM-G990B2 using Tapatalk

Good point, my blue ecu is a new sensor so was relying on the reading against the vr6 cooling guide but yes the rad will be different and does explain the variance. So it sounds like it is operating normally and I'm free for Cosford and hopefully safe in traffic. I've never heard stage 2 before, but read stage 3 you'd know about. My fans sound the same as any other car when they come on. If this is the case I'll leave this part and move on to the next job - top mounts, crunch and squeaky. Sent from my SM-G990B2 using Tapatalk
