Hi Im based in Sutton Coldfield. Any other Rados about in the Midlands.

Nice looking Mystic. https://www.gumtree.com/p/volkswagen/vw-corrado-storm-/1365897898

Yep all extra money will going on my Corrado this year grump grump ha. The inline fuse water can get into the casing it houses into - I shrink wrapped my new one with electric tape, the handmade battery bags off ebay, if you could ask the seller to make a pouch on the front of the battery bag with a flap you could put all the relays and fuse in there to protect it.

My drivers side headlight packed in the other week mate, I replaced the yellow fuse inline on the uprated loom and relay and all good now thankfully. Also gave the contacts on the battery from uprated loom a good electric clean.

Can make 230 at least with a Schrick VGI and 268 cams- that is the period mod to raise power= however your issue will be obtaining a Schrick or a VSR manifold, Schrick 268 cams are ready available. For higher gains Supercharger or Turbo. Will need to go to OB2 really for this

Bit of an update with the car. As many of you know my car was up for sale last year. I pulled out of a deal with a buyer for 9K and then he upped it to 10K to get me to release the car. However I thought it was not the right thing to do as my car always drank a little bit of oil but as the process of sale was going on I could start to smell a burning oil. I spoke to Vince and he advised that it would be a mixture of failing vale seals and ovulated cylinders, at this point I told the seller unfortunately the car was not for sale ( I just said I wanted to keep the car but the truth of the matter was I would not sell a car and ask for good money unless it was justified (treat folks how you would like to be treated). The good news is Vince has purchased the larger pistons as the car is going up to 3 liters and a complete engine rebuild this year with new pistons. bores - bottom and top, chains etc.. Each piston will be measured precisely and block bored out accordingly to each piston- will be precise engineered. If I do ever sell the car this will be added onto to the valuation as this will be one of the most sorted VR6 on the market by the time its complete- however I cant see me letting go of the car in the near future. Schrick will also be sent to be professionally polished. Other recent works. Battery trays sanded down and painted/Lacquer. Insulation 150 mm spoonfed splitter and new bolts and Iron to fit. Sourced complete new bumper heat shield, bumper brackets front and rear and bolts and plastic clips and getting the bumper irons powder coated at some point- also inspect inside these areas whilst off for body work condition. Sourced complete new wiper mech and motor just missing one link and one nipple. Headlight metallised and new OE adjusters - uprated loom refurbished. Various engine bay brackets powder coated. Have ordered a new windscreen seal the one that meets the roof, had bad wind noise at high speed in the cabin, noticed that the seal was coming loose in places , pulled the seal off and the good news is the surround is clean and rot free- looks like an aftermarket seal so ordered a OE VW seal from Heritage. Top of gear knob pattern fell off and stuck it back on with glue, warning do not do this it bubbled through and destroyed the shift pattern decal, only use double sided tape !!!! Have an intermittent spoiler at the moment, I believe it is the Relay so trying to source a used one as the 60mph relay is obsolete, or as mentioned mech needs a clean out and lube. It really is none stop and a huge expense but believe Im not far away to having a fully restored Corrado. For anyone cotemplating a full renovation of a Corrado to the lengths I have gone to I would budget between 13- 15K . Would I have undertook this task If I had known, probably not to be honest. However when complete the car will have an uprated engine block good for +100 K, VDO gauges , Schrick VGI , black leather and desirable magic black paint scheme , so go find me another ??? Just need the Recaros front seats.

I have Eibach anti roll bars and bushes . My car handles like its on rails to be fair. Had mine refurbished last year, powder coated from the old red to black and new bushes which you can buy stand alone. Complete kit with bushes. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Mk3-2-0GTI-16V-2-8-VR6-01-92-07-98-Eibach-ARB-Kit/141037083755?epid=1954365861&hash=item20d6771c6b:g:wVkAAOxyVVJSCoyX If you click on my photo album link there is a good picture of the underside of the car with if fitted has the red bushes. https://photos.app.goo.gl/KofL9bRESGSeZJv47

Bringing back alive. Hi is this the correct part number for a late VR6 1995 60 mph spoiler control module. Diagram No6 my chassis is on a S . Can't work it out. http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/COR/year/1995/drive_standart/76/hg_ug/937/subcategory/219015/part_id/0/lang/e Cheers.

Think I had the JP group one fitted last year. Had a new Topran oil cooler installed and a couple of months later the cooler was leaking into the coolant , had to drain the whole system and then fitted a Hella oil cooler. I will never touch crapran again.

If I do get some Cressa Im going to have to talk you into helping me out with the job with some incentives :thumbleft:

Sending PM.

This is handy. x2 aftermarket Recaro looms with OE plugs and fuse. Seller has good stuff on his page. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Corrado-Kabelbaum-fuer-Recaro-Sportsitze-rar-selten-NEU-seats-wire-loom/312962676852

PM sent Cressa. Thanks

Thanks Fen.

Thanks cressa never been at the back of the fuse box so this will be where I would struggle.

Ok so you have the plugs that plug under the seat , what about the other end of the loom how do you get these out of a car, remove trims from car or the fuse box ? Thanks - obviously have the heat loom all ready in my car so more about the motor loom . Thanks

Thanks the advice chaps .

Please may I ask a few questions about the Factory Recaros. 1)How do you know if the seat has heating ? Because a lot of the seats purchased second hand where put into cars that did not have the heat seating loom and switch set up. 2)If it does have heating is it controlled by the same heating switch as stock on dash with standard leather heated seats ? 3)Does it just plug into to the same loom as the heated switch of standard leather ? 4) How easy is it to remove the recaro loom ? 5)Do the recaro seats remove from the car the same method as the stock seats by undoing the bolt at the front and slipping them out if the track Thanks.

I've had one in my car for three years and works great with no issues, I would say its an upgrade from the original as been lighter which is Ideal for a six cylinder engine in a small car. Also solid flange at the top corner.

You can still get the motors pretty cheap same as a T4 if I remember. I got a new OE new old stock the other day for make an offer £33.00 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Transporter-T4-Front-Wiper-Motor-1C0955119-New-Genuine-VW-Part/183896279118?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

They are called bbs ch .

Looks similar to a bbs Rx226 it I can see writing on the alloy which rx226 do not have . they look great !

Just had a look in there weather has dropped a few degrees tonight ! All cables looked connecting and very clean in there, so I imagine it might be carbon build up in the motor or need lubing, think slamming the bonnet loosens it up a bit and then works. Going to give it a water test to make sure no water is coming through the registration lights.

Ok I think I know what you mean check the rubber casing between the tailgate and shell ?
