I read somewhere today that you use the left for right corrado and right for left off the beetle if that makes sense and no cutting.

Need to get her out now before winter arrives and have a good blast 👍

Congrats welcome to the Corrado community.

That will be Sukhi Ryatt car- its avery clean early G60 nugget - very nice clean original car- he lives in Leeds.

Not everyone sniffs petrol on their day off mate 😂 Looking forward to hearing her run best of luck 👍

How and when did you get your hands on them Cressa and what was the damage .

My fav recaro set for the Corrado is the same pattern at the MK2 Golf 16v optional recaro (not the ultra violet)- very nice and have never seen one in a Corrado as of yet.

I like a dog to be dog none of this pugaroodlepoodlefrenchbull. nonsense. ha !

Reckon 1K - caroline Weston was selling some on fb - I would price them at 1.2 k but let them go for 1K - I sold a set for £750 just wanted them out the way before my Airedale ate them for breakfast.

I suppose people think its a safe bet getting one from a dealer and think because the price is high it must be a great car- any classic car really better off buying direct from an enthusiast if you can.

There is a cream set for £750.00 mate on FB at the moment.

Im not sure mate the bodywork looks nice - but no evidence of chains or any major work - I reckon the seller probably did a part ex and ended up getting 7 - 7.5 for it - maybe even less.- he did well out the car hardly spent a penny and got their money back. If you can get a low miler with good body work you can't go wrong really as that is all some buyers look at unless they know the cars well !

Why did you sell it Shaun ? The dealer has now posted the pictures- from what I can see the last owner put a new fusebox in - leads and a sunroof motor - hardly a midlife overhaul - more like fixed a few faults. I would say going off your old registration plate Moth it will certainly leave a hole in their pockets if they pay that dealers asking price. I reckon they saw the Blackberry car that is up for auction 13k - 17k and valued it on that basis. Not knocking down the valuations but if your going to ask top money then I want to see paper work that is several K more then the car is been sold for in the last few years.

A member on here called Matt shared this info with me. Don't ever undersell your cars because the dealers may well think they are worth a lot more. Hi Keyo, Thought the forum should know about this one, but I'm not a subscriber at present so I can't start posts :/. Spotted this lovely blackberry up for sale earlier in the week... now sold... only to find it at a dealer today with an extra 4 or 5K on the price!! cheeky gits, I know that's their trade but come on buying and listing within a day or so exact same car on similar websites seems a bit scummy 😆 anyway didn't know where to put this and know youre pretty active on here so here you go 🙂 https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:TM_r3mN50GAJ:https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1266545+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202009173866216?onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=New&radius=1501&make=VOLKSWAGEN&sort=relevance&include-delivery-option=on&model=CORRADO&advertising-location=at_cars&postcode=la26hh&page=1

First stop - OE - Lemforder - febi - then see hopefully Topran is not the only choice left. The only good Topran part I got hold of was a seat tilt cable because it said Gemo on it so there are the odd exception .

Even if it didn't leave the factory with a red badge it is acceptable to put on a badge colour that suits the colour of the car- my car 1995 in black left factory with brushed silver but have a black corrado script badge and red front and rear VR6 because I liked the combo.

Thanks Dox I spoke to Vince this morning and he says 9 out of 10 times if the oil sensors have been changed and spade ends good etc - its the inner workings of the binnacle clocks getting old and been temperamental and told me that I would not need a pump - he did say though a 9a pump even though the shaft is thinner it works and is an upgrade and stronger. To be honest mine has only gone off twice in the last year so I'm not going to worry about it- although the oil pressure gauge idea might well lead me to a Votex console - just getting a bit tired of splashing out on these classics.

Thanks just seen this mate.

Thinking about doing the oil pump in my Mk2 golf 16V KR. It has new genuine oil sensors etc but its happened twice now when I gave her the beans upto 7K revs and the buzzer goes off with oil light lit. Have no evidence in the paperwork that the oil pump has ever been changed. After looking to my horror the only available pumps for a KR is Valeco + Topran _ JP Group. However for the 2.0 9a block you can get a KOLBENSCHMIDT Oil Pump 50005801- meant to be a good brand- will this be compatible with a KR and if so any negatives- I imagine it just has different gearing and puts out more bumpf. Thanks in advance.

I know with my golf MK2 golf you turn the handle so the sunroof is right back and pull down on the trim and then turn the handle back the other way and it clicks off.

Hi James , Just a coupe that is from 1998 - 2010 I believe chap left outer 1C0837477A + right outer 1C0837478A- they looked good- as mentioned need to trim the beetle scraper where it meets the bottom of the b pillar vertical seal . Picture below of one. Think this might be one with free postage and make an offer if anyone wants to have a go. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-BEETLE-WINDOW-RUBBER-SEAL-OUTER-FRONT-LEFT-GENUINE-REFK09/274197320483?fits=Model%3ANew+Beetle&hash=item3fd76f1323:g:HfAAAOSw~hZeGdKg

You sick f.....s - I was just seeing if they fitted well lol- trust me if your scarper is hanging off go down the scrappy and grab a couple - best solution I have seen so far.

The beetle ones looked very good - I was prodding them and everything.

15 K car at least in that condition- mileage and Recaro seats _ gauges- also a desired colour combo .

I can say I saw a fellow corrado owner that had the beetle window scrapers off a 2003 model - they fitted perfect and just needed a bit of trimming to fit over the b pillar vertical seal.
