Unfortunately chap it does help opening a FB account to source classic parts, mind you can just leave the profile blank or make up a name, no need to have your private details on facebook for the world to see. Club gti has alot of stuff on there something about using a MK3 filter and Mk1 pump.

I would try these three mate in descending order. All on facebook Chris Ferry or username on here lilfuzzer Brendon Moss of Dubstock Mathew Palmer Mk2 golf spares Here is a couple of threads that might help about uprating fuel pump or alternatives to a swirl pot. http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?84555-16v-fuel-pump-complete-Wanted https://www.clubgti.com/forums/index.php?threads/upgrading-fuel-pump.282505/ Im wondering the Golf Mk2 16v swirl pot works or even the 8V swirl pot but as mentioned the Corrado has a different part number but the bracket is the same on both models that houses it to the underside of the floorpan.

Disappointed to hear your Febi ones failed prematurely, I had some Febi front mounts fitted to my car last year as well, I also had rear Lemforder top mounts fitted at the same time and now regret not getting front Lemforder top mounts . Did the same same on my golf to! I have purchased Febi a lot in the past if OE was not available however I do think they live a little off there attachment to Bilstein which of course is quality , compared to brands like Beru, Hella and Lemforder Febi is lower on the scale and more on par with Meyle I would say. Does sound like you can't go wrong with the factory ones though not sure if they are obsolete and costs.

I have a spoonfed deep pile carpet set including the boot and I imagine it helps a little with the sound deadening. With creaks and rattles its worth re clothing some body clips and checking there are no missing damping grommets that the clips go into, my sill trims were missing all the grommets the clips house into.

Give these a shot mate its a quality brand , https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-OEM-Lemforder-Front-Top-Mounts-Bearings-VW-Mk3-Golf-Sharan-Corrado-VR6/400838980314?hash=item5d53dd72da:g:oJIAAOSwT6pVwcH5

On about fronts or rear ? Pretty sure I managed to get some lemforder last year.

Hi did my passenger side insulation today due to an old matrix coolant leak. I used the old insulation as a template and then stripped the old insulation off the rubber matt. The insulation was only glued on with trimmer adhesive from factory so fairly easy to remove but nonetheless a messy job but did clean up well. It is important that you copy the insulation below the rubber as some layers are single thickness and others double so it sits on the floor pan pattern snug . The Heritage deluxe insulation worked well as it comes in two layers. So firstly stick one whole insulation layer on the clean rubber with aerosil trimmers glue. Second layer copy the original one where it has double layer and glue them together. Fairly easy job to be honest and a sharp pair of scissors will cut through the Heritage insulation. Don't be tempted to make the pads larger as they encroach by your seat rails and will make your seat unable to slide back and forth. You will need to glue the new made up insulation pads to your footwells trimmer glue worked well. Link shows picture of the disgusting old stuff and a example of one of the base templates I cut out. Bottom of album. Hopefully the state of my old insulation pads will encourage you to take this £50.00 job on. https://photos.app.goo.gl/KofL9bRESGSeZJv47 P.s I recommend at least a few adhesive trimmer cans. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Trimfix-Adhesive-High-Temperature-120-C-Spray-Glue-For-Headliners-Car-Trims/391260834656?hash=item5b18f68b60:m:mYHz7UcBepFHhz42Xykx-6g Also a couple of rear door card clips and sill trim clips as spares as a couple of my brittle ones snapped.

Might be worth going on a 16V golf forum to see if anyone has done the mod.

Buy what your happy with mate but I have heard only use Bosch for KR fueling as all the rest are unreliable. As mentioned above you need to determine which pump you have first, have you seen a pump under the car? Also check your chassis number.

Here is a diagram of the a KR fuel tank I cant see no internal pump. http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/COR/year/1993/drive_standart/76/hg_ug/201/subcategory/65000/part_id/3687086/lang/e#sec_25 I'm not to clued up on the Corrado KR as there was a 2.0 16V version as well that might have a different fueling system with a lift pump and sender in the tank. There are chassis changes to the pump on the diagram with different part numbers. Think you'll find only have one which will most lightly be under the car or one in the tank. Be one of these dependent on your chassis number (age of car). http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/COR/year/1993/drive_standart/76/hg_ug/906/subcategory/206000/part_id/3706612/lang/e http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/COR/year/1993/drive_standart/76/hg_ug/919/subcategory/213000/part_id/3689944/lang/e http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/COR/year/1993/drive_standart/76/hg_ug/919/subcategory/213000/part_id/3689944/lang/e

Ia there a pump in a 16V tank thought i was just under the car. ?

Ummm good question probably around 1 or 2mm - don't want it to heavy or could make bland door stress out the cables.

Good luck with that mate- sure just change the pump but I would take the whole unit off and give it a good clean and inspection, might as well get the bracket powder coated as well. Might as well do your heater box blend doors as well mate if you are doing the matrix. Im seeing alot of people doing these recently and going to a lot of hassle but not taking enough time to find a good product to refoam the flaps and using all sorts of material from furniture pads and hobby craft foam well this stuff is not designed for a heater box how long will it last ? Well I would use this stuff personally specific to blend door. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Neoprene-EPDM-Blend-Foam-Adhesive-Backed-Squares-Strips-in-all-sizes/401911257667

Arh thanks that makes sense. Managed to fix my intermittent main beam light today was only working on one side, uprated headlight loom inspected the relay was rusted out and changed - after still didn't work and then realised there was a yellow fuse in a black plastic retainer inline with the external cable- changed that now working perfectly result!

OK will do chap, the only thing I think needs a bit more research is the middle insulation 20mm as the OE stuff looks better quality- has more of a dense sponge texture then the Heritage stuff. Bizarrely this dutch seller has some new old stock left rear footwell insulation 20mm bottom section in rear as no grey cell in rear footwell. Gives you a good idea of how it looks and you can see some of it cut out to fit round the floorpan pattern. https://www.vagonderdelenhuis.nl/product/demping-voor-bodem-art-nr-1l0863955/ Its sort of handy with the heritage deluxe insulation as you double up or single on the layers to suit the pattern.

Possibly but the K Jet injection system is very complicated and troublesome and to modify could spell trouble. I would just change the pump and fuel filter + fuel line and if still not good the accumulator. Why VW never made a splash shield to cover the whole unit I never know, maybe it would of been to low and would of scrapped.

Wow they put the car up with a line out of 20 stunners its good to see the Rado getting up there.

Sure will FLA it is the top layer so will be cool, I have a heat gun that should do the job and will be able to do it outside of the car for safety. I would also say it acts as a damp proof course. This insulation would have to be hard wearing and the OE stuff certainly was. #

Hi . The unit (housing for fuel pump swirl pot) is obsolete part number 535201043. These are prone to crack and leak with age. Its an area that is worth tackling as a whole for the long run if that is your plans for the car. The area basically has a Bosch fuel pump + Bosch accumulator + metal fuel pipes + Fuel filter and heat shield + housing bracket + metal fuel lines. You cannot buy the bracket or swirl pot housing its obsolete also the bracket that holds it to the car. You can just change parts in it ie fuel pump, accumulator etc. I believe this is the fuel pump you'll require. Not worth going for a cheap alternative. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Genuine-BOSCH-Fuel-Pump-0-580-254-033-Top-German-Quality/193238953604?epid=248858159&hash=item2cfdf06e84:g:nd8AAOSw8yxcrSdu Bosch accumulator again do not cheap out on substandard alternative. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-MK1-GTI-MK2-16v-FUEL-PRESSURE-ACCUMULATOR-REGLATOR-A1426/223625536105?epid=1443050346&hash=item34111ee269:g:sr4AAOSwvA5dTA02 Here is a diagram of the area. http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/COR/year/1993/drive_standart/76/hg_ug/201/subcategory/69000/part_id/3687212/lang/e#sec_37 Its an area that a lot of people will dismantle and get the brackets powder coated and new fuel lines as it is open to erosion been under the floor pan of the car. I've seen this for a MK2 golf 16V and it comes complete with the pump,accumulator etc. I don't think it will fit the Corrado though because it has different swirl pot housing for the pump, all the rest is the same though, mint bit of kit with an alloy swirl pot. https://www.classic-vw.co.uk/mk2-golf-fuel-pump-housing-kit-191201043-21354-p.asp This is an example of a Corrado one in Germany for sale which is typical can see cracks in the unit and the eroded parts. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Corrado-16v-Petrol-Pump-Catch-Tank-535201043/283656283824?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144 Thankfully in the VR6 the pump is located in the tank however can be a bit of a smelly job and it has a tendency to have rubber parts dissolve in the fuel tank.

I actually think what I have been calling a rubber layer is actually bitumen and you heat the layer on the back and then stick the insulation almost like a roofer , could be wrong though. I would rather just use glue as the Heritage stuff looks like hay. I think the new rubber layer is great just a shame it does not come in wider panels as only 250 mm x 500mm . Can see on Storm warnings picture the bitumen where it joins the insulation has been heat melted to fuse them together.

Thanks Storm Warning its not a bad price to be fair. Got to say the factory insulation is pretty impressive with three different layers. Sure the new rubber material might be able to use on the sides of the original floor insulation to fill in any gaps, even under the rear seats etc as its only 2mm deep so I imagine you could fit it to alot of places with ease of installation with the adhesive backing.

Sorry I cant vouch for the new rubber material but the old one is about 2mm and the new stuff has an adhesive backing so you can glue the insulation under it I imagine. I've got some aerosol trimming glue Im going to use and the old rubber has nothing wrong with it , just need to strip the old insulation off ang lue the double layer of Heritage deluxe to the bottom of it.

Yes the grey call is the base layer but only in the front footwells.
