Diamond cut are a nightmare to be honest, triple the cost and most refurbers make a right hash of them , after 6 months you can expect milking where water gets under the laquer, just a slight knock from changing the tyres or anything like that. The only thing is though a diamond cut outer rim gives a wheel a nice deep dish look with the shade contrast. Why dont you consider using a silver spray on the outer rim and a slighter darker shade on the main wheel. I have some staggerd AMG Mononblocks from the old hammer days and spent £650 6 months ago and already starting to milk up from poor laquer I guess, and the refurber had the wheel back twice at the time as the diamond cut rim was sharp and rough, It could of slit your finger open it was that sharp and jagged to be honest, in the end I gave up and thought I wont be using this ,?rick again. Amazingly he had a photo of the head member of BMW Forum on the front of his website and told me he was ex Airforce and the best in the game, well diamond cut was well beyond his skills. Also for those who do not know you can only diamond cut an alloy twice as it can determine the strength of the alloy the more you diamond cut away the weaker the stregnth of the alloy.

Sure thing I will say I do agree the G60 does have rarirty and it is a cool VW brand and design. Does anyone own a Golf rallye on here think that is my all time favourite VW , just love the box wheel arches.

I dont disagree that it should be in a Corrado or dislike it , but I prefer the Vr6 engine ,in a Golf it just had that rarity in the UK so made it preety cool.

Ive got some German Dirko HT (High Tempature) for my Shrick manifold gasket I got off Bar Tek, but I think it would be good with a head gasket to, not 100 percent sure though it is apparently the bees knees. Readily available in the UK. Data sheet below. http://www.elring.com/fileadmin/Dateiablage_DE/2Service/Datenblaetter/Technische_Dichtmassen/Dirko_HT/TD_Dirko_HT_EN_02-2017.pdf

VR6 all the way , G60 in golf variation not that of the Corrado.

The G60 is rarer however the Vr6 is more sort after , there is no replacement for deplacement, the wookie growl wins .

I think its fair to say the majority of people looking for a Corrado these days will look for a VR6 with leather interior.

I believe so he also got some deep pile scripted carpets including the boot which is a bonus.

They do look good mine are aftermaket ones I believe that the last owner got from the USA a few years back. [ATTACH=CONFIG]96262[/ATTACH]

Not sure if these work well but cheap enough if you dont want to take out the dash and also you could possibly use it for future inspection of the bores once sparks removed. This looks like a Chinese ebay seller but Im sure there will be a UK one with stock. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WIFI-Endoscope-Wireless-8LED-IP68-Borescope-Inspection-Camera-for-iPhone-Android/273547981832?hash=item3fb0baf408:m:mAk70W7uyRzkUrYcryeNxWg:rk:2:pf:0

I think a lot of people are to use to 4 pot turbo cars these days with low end torque, you realy do have to rev out most 90s sport cars with large blocks.The bonus is you get to enjoy the engine as it goes up the rev counter. I had a S550 GT Mustang in 2016 and you just couldnt use the power and the traction was awful on UK greasey roads. had to swop out the stock Pirelli for MC Pilot Sports which did improve somewhat.I actually mistakingly did a 180 dougnut turning right at some traffic lights once looked a right hooligan . The best cars on uk car roads for performance and grip are hatchbacks like the Focus RS and Golf R. NO point going over 230 bhp on fwd cars in my opinion .

If it was a VR6 you need to rev up to about 4000 revs and then the car will come alive.

I call this the ashtray light its pretty easy to replace. Take out the ashtray . Unscrew the one screw in the ashtray surround trim located at the back . Pull the trim out and disconnect the plug out of the bulb housing. The white bulb housing then can be wedged out of the trim and the bulb unit can be pulled off the white surround. You can still order the green bulb housing from VW Heritage that they order in from VW classic . 357919243AK25 £7.50 I also replaced heat seat contol switch which I found out was also meant to be iluminated, also dint realise that the Rado had heated mirrors.

Got my new Bosch leads today they do look a quality item, couple of pics beolw with more information about the leads on the box. [ATTACH=CONFIG]96214[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]96218[/ATTACH]

Thanks for the information Ill have to weigh up wether I will do more harm then good as do have a tendency to epic fail with plastic trims.

Not sure about torque setting but I purchased a Febi kit waiting to fit off ebay that came with the wishbones and a few other goodies. Have you inspected the front droplinks ? There are also four bushes on the front beam , 3 engine and tranmission mounts ,and 2 rear axle bushes.

If jacking on a sloped drive I advise putting a couple of tyres under the car to act a safety cushion if the jack becomes unlodged, only metioned this as it happened to me once and it was one hell of a close shave.

Glad to here it mate sounds like your motor is in good hands, I put my old Bosch Sensor in the JP box. always good to have a spare with parts getting thin on the ground. Today I tested a used EVAC solenoid purge vavle I purchased off ebay described as tested. Put the inlet end of the solenoid on a manual Vacum pump up to 15 pressure and it held, thought great it works but once connected power it clicked but didnt release the pressure so epic fail as solenoid must be stuck, got a refund thankfully but had to fork out just over a ton for a new one :puppydogeyes: .

Reckon your spot on Fla. have no idea how complex it is to get into that area and if I might risk braking something.

Would rather a new screen to be honest as it should have a good life exspectancy, there are several comapanies out there specialising in automotive lcd repair so I might end up belling one them next week, the strange thing is on certain functions its shows as a full digit but on other functions only half might not be the screen who knows !

Hi All, The last digit on my MFA is starting to only show the bottom half of the digit so I believe the pixels are starting to fade on the lcd screen . Is it the VR^ 1995 model same as the MK2 golf multifunction MFA LCD screen if so I have a link below for a replacement screen, Any advice would be great , as mentioned its just a bit of pixle fading, the MFA is functioning as it should. If the part is incorrect that I have linked below could somone guide me in the right direction. https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/LCD-Repair-Display-for-VW-Golf-1-2-ii-MFA-on-Board-Computer-Tacho/4014033006?iid=263467219031&chn=ps Thank You

Glad to hear it, I was that happy with mine I wished I had ordered 2 to be honest, it does say they are washable as well so that is a bonus to . Fitted an original beesting aeriel today as couldnt pick up Medium wave, happy to say its now picking up signals from out of space ha ! Well worth getting OE . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171216178792

If your shocks are older then 10/15 years old then yes mate get a new set and also consider the rest of the suspension, bushes , mounts, bump stops, wishbones etc as it will probably be in the same state. Really can completley transform a car .

NO it would not mate.

Yrah Im after Nuclear ignition :geek: !

When I drop the car into to Vince I want to see the the sparks with my own eyes that he carrys in stock for the VR to make sure that is the the right part number he gave me on the phone and will update on here , just keep that in mind before anyone goes ahead and fits them. Cheers.
