Its a 1.8, my mechanic is back with the car later on tonight so will know more then as to what needs replacing

My fuel pump has always been loud but since i lowered the car 40mm a week ago its too loud and somethings up. My mechanics taking a look at it tomorrow when he changes the radiator so will def know if i need a new one. Anyone know any websites so i can price one up??

I have the exact same wheels on my 1.8 valver and when dropped 40mm they look even better on the car. They wouldn't have been my first choice as they were on the car when i bought it but they've grown on me! Top car!

VW Corrado 1.8 16v G - 01/06/1990 - Full Service History - 108,000 miles - Black Metallic I bought my first corrado in October 2004 after waiting a year and a half for the right one to come along. Not done much to it yet just tried to standardise it as much as I can! Sold Momo steering wheel and replaced with original one and bought original 15” Sebring’s to replace OZ Super T’s currently on car. Needed to replace rear shockers so bought Bilstein Street line suspension kit which lowers 40mm. Other than this it will be totally standard. Hope you like it?!

Thanks for the suggestions i will have a look at all the sites reccomended. Cheers all for help :thumbleft:

At the moment i have 195/50/15 on the OZ super t's (they were on the car when i bought it). Think i will just get them fired on the sebrings. Mate works at local scrapyard so he got the machine to do it for nowt! Nothing better than saving a bit of cash!

185/55/15 Just got the original sebrings for my now standard 1.8 valver and three tyres are good but one not legal. Will try mytyres Cheers

Anyone recommend where to buy tyres on the internet that are reasonable in price?? Been on a few sites but quite dear and got a cheaper quote from a local company.

Thanks for the info now i have a name that might fit i can have a look about. I've actually seen a couple of those on ebay before and they tend to go for £30+. Cheers for the help dig776

No not an 80's moment just wondered cos i my c is nearly totally standard and thought this would top it off. I've seen beta and gamma radio's on ebay but there out of polo's and golf's and are alot newer. Just got me thinking and thought someone might know.

I have searched through the forum to see if i could find out details of the standard head unit for my G/1990 1.8 16v Corrado. Can anyone shed some light on this and tell me the possibilities to finding one??

I fitted the battery back into the car and tightened all connections including smoothering them in petroleum jelly and i am pleased to tell you my car is back on the road I'm going to keep my eye on it for a couple of weeks to see and if have any more problems i know where to ask Thanks everyone who gave advice Kieran

Thanks very much ive now charged the battery overnight and will be going through all the different solutions everyone has suggested tomorrow - thanks again i will post another reply with my findings

I dont think its clifford - i know its quantum but whether thats anything to do with clifford im not sure i thought it was to do with scorpion - i have a compact plus immobiliser aswell cheers for the replies im recharging my battery now and going to lube up the connections - i'll keep you posted on the results

Cheers Dinkus will deffo try that also!

Cheers will re-charge battery and try that - would this make a battery lose it's charge tho?

Forgotten to mention the Alternator is only 12months old!

Hi Right - over the xmass period my battery died - the car wouldn't start - AA bloke tested batery and it was totally flat - Bought another and car ran fine for 3weeks until i drove through a huge Ford/flood, Car kept running but as soon as i stopped the car died - AA bloke came again and said it was possibly the alternator?? Any help chaps? Could it be a dodgy earth somewhere? where's the best place to check? Is there anyway of checking the alternator?
