Has anyone ever seen this seal before Im not familiar with it . No 7 on diagram. https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/corrado/cor/1994-76/8/853-158000/#7

Did you put the plastic sleeve grommets in the holes first mate .

Mate looks like another hole to take one of them white clips ? How many do you have in place ?

Very happy bunny here- I think for a vag classic part that has a plug in new £18.00 is very reasonable as well- think that is why I purchased them in the first place as that is rare for a corrado - must be because it shares the part with a Passat as does not start with 535 ! Be warned early corrado have a different part number if you are reading this thread.

Great news only took the car for 5 minute drive last night after jump starting with leads- she started up first time this evening that would of not happened since I have owned the car think the door actuators were blood sucking !

Yes mate locking good Im going to see if she starts up in a minute without the jumpers fingers crossed .

At least yours does the same so hopefully normal ha.

Is this related to an aftermarket immobiliser you reckon mate ?

Another thing I have noticed is once I lock the doors the courtesy light stays on for a few seconds and when it auto turns off a few seconds later I can hear the pump make a noise like its locking the doors again 1 or two seconds after the light goes out is this normal anyone ? Maybe something to do with the Immobiliser Thanks

These are the air connector hose to actuator grey (grey bit on the end of the yellow hose) that supersedes the original actuator- the connectors are obsolete and a different part number then the actuator the tight b.... s. However at least you can get a new actuator and not to expensive - . Heritage can bring them over from Germany for a few quid. Part number 3A0862153B .3A0 862 153 B £18.00 per one. Hope this helps if anyone else has a bad actuator - my contacts were very crusty inside the plug. 3A0 862 153 B https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/en/ventil-41aab1.html .

My abs is the same as this one . I couldn't find your off the part number supplied.

Sorry I have just noticed the ABS switch is different then in my late VR yours has a dot pattern around the abs switch and I think the plugs are different - mine is plane without a pattern. Sorry.

Yours is the original part mate ending with a H - the superseded ones above I have pictured are spot on apart from the bit that air line attaches to, you can see on the picture that they are flipping bigger the sods - you have to take off the orange L shape connector off the airline hose and use some rubber hose instead- thankfully I had some Mk2 power locking spares and the hose was perfect . Picture below before I slipped it on all the way - had to put the rubber hose in some hot boiling water but it slide on eventually and very tight fit. So that is one job off the list as I replaced both this evening. By the looks of you can unlip the whole of the top section and swap them over but I didn't want to risk damaging the new actuator.

Mate I read the window modules and central locking are very common fault that causes these leakes it so goes I have two of them suckers NOS but yours looks a bit different . Dragon Green were your locks pull slow when it was failing ?

Mate my dream set up would be a large garage with all cars on trickle chargers and Protected from the elements seen a property about ten miles away in a village and it comes with a lovely old workshop barn 23 meters by 7 . It’s big decisions for me this year as my trusted builders are retiring in 2 years - need to decide what area I would like smaller house but a huge garage 😂

Thanks Fen - Ok have a confession to make after a second inspection I was working in the cabin last night sticking a gearbox shift pattern decal and guess what I left the cabin light on I suppose it another excuse to take her four an hour drive. Nonetheless they are greedy sucking vampires look at the greedy f....r devouring the poor golf caught on camera 😀

Im not that is the problem mate dont even have a volt meter electrics are my weakest point. I really noticed it starting to happen when I got the headlights re metallised and they were stripped back - not sure that has anything to do with it. I keep reading that the widow module and door contacts are pretty common battery suckers . Checked the bootlight mate and its turning off when tailgate shut. .

So have a parasitic battery drain. Have a new alternator and battery fitted within 3 months . Its that bad the drain that I took the car for a 100 mile run and car was upto 14 running and 12.5 with ignition off . This morning went to start car and car down to 8 on gauge pods . Had this problem a few months back and had a new alternator and battery but now back to square one. Have checked glove box and luggage light and they are all turning off. Any usual suspect - Ai606 is only a couple of years old as well. When my car first didn't start I noticed the glove box light had been left on but now turned off and battery recharges still getting the same issues. Fitted the recaro seats was the last job before the drain but as mentioned there was a drain a few months back before the new parts were fitted. Also fitted a new Hella fuel and ecu relay in the last couple of weeks before drain 109 and 67. Thanks

Yes chap Ill have the spoiler relay off you to. Cheers.

No worries Cressa, I will still take the ABS light - the spoiler relay that is not the correct part number could you please take another look as there are variations and I need the one that rises at 60 mph - cheers.

Will also have the spoiler relay off you . Thanks

If the ABS switch works and the double window switch I can offer you £40.00 posted to the Midlands . Thanks

Im very very tempted anyone else ?

Midnight blue turbo s with black leather interior would be my top pick . 993 last of the water cooled and 997 last of the analogue and a great driving car and still relatively classic 911 size compared to the latest two marks- I have to admit something I not long got one for a song - sold the Mk7 and only had to make up a couple K to get hold of a very clean motor indeed (997.1 C2 - meteor grey - black leather - 72K- Carrera classic 19 alloys made by BBS- Alcantara factory headlining- extended leather pack- electric seats- HPI clear- purchased at the lowest curve value and the golf would of lost 3- 4 k in the next 12 months so no brainer- got the cylinders boroscoped to a healthy thumbs up and car has never been used in bad weather all silver underneath - not long had a major service (every 4 years) sparks- pulley belts- etc and new clutch and ims seal by last owner . Did knock the seller down a fair few k with some chin rubbing and sighs to be honest but car is on its original suspension so will need refreshing and one shock has a leak . Also had a rev range test and the car has no numbers in the red so had some very good owners indeed. Always a good sign when you see some Michelin pilot sports on a car. Didn't want a 3.8 s or 4s model as awd and also many more times likely to bore score due to the smaller coolant channels of the larger cylinders. For me a 911 has to be rear wheel drive . Would of loved a guards red one or Midnight blue but this car just ticked too many boxes and now really happy with the colour. Grey one is the same spec as mine have not taken any photos of her yet.

We need window scrapers check for them . 😉
