Your reasoning is wrong on the last step. When you "Take clamp off steering wheel and turn until wheels are in straight ahead position again", you are turning the wheel to the right, in order to move lh wheel from 10' out to neutral and the rh wheel from 10' in to neutral. Therefore the steering wheel will no longer be level.

That sounds familiar, the person who changed my windscreen put the adhesive on with a trowel by the looks of it! Glad you got it sorted.

I've taken a couple off without breaking them, I can't quite remember how its held though, I'd assume it was just a push fit. Might be best for someone else to confirm this though.

I'm assuming you are stuck on the piece of interior trim that surrounds the sunroof 'hole' as it were. It just pulls off, look for the join, then pull it towards the centre of the hole. It's this that holds the headlining up all the way round the hole.

The trim panel across the windscreen does ideally need to come off, you could probably get the headlining out without removing it but you'd never get the headlining back in again with the trim in place.

hi quite new to cf this is my first post so be gentle, ive been seeing a lot of corrados going for 7-9k over the past 18months with low milage but they all seem to be storms.I was just wondering do you think if a low milage 30-35k g60 came up it would fetch the same price?

Nope.

a) Its going to be older

b) Its a G60

c) Its not a Storm

I'm thinking of replacing my front wishbones/bushes, baljoints, track rod ends etc. I see on vwspares.co.uk thay are selling complete wishbones very reasonably. They come with Febi bushes which I would normally expect to be pretty good. What bushes are in VW ones, are they VW or do they use Febi or someone else. Any one got any experience of Febi wishbone bushes?

Cheers.

No 3 for me. Just looks classier to me than the others. The bodywork has the best reflection and therefore looks more professional imo.

Vauxhall Astra 1.4 (Latest Shape), had 4 of them as hire cars and they are awful. The most gutless car I have ever driven by a long shot.

Yep they are well on there, the hook bit is 'hung' on the hidden screw. Tight fit.

Rag, Emery Cloth , that sort of thing will do fine.

The VR6 one from VW is half Sachs and half LUK, a winning combination it would seem. I paid £120 for one and it was perfect.

If you've only driven diesel work vans, be prepared to be very impressed. VW Tdi engines are awesome.

That procedure looks fine to me mate, the theory is roughly the same on most engines. It does say on the Vortex one that its applicable to 12v engines including the Corrado.

116k and going strong on VW system, bombproof.

Those filters fill up with oil within a short space of time and drip oil onto the exhaust manifold heatshield. Not a worthwhile mod under normal circumstances.

I've used T1-Rs for the last couple of years, no problems. They last well and grip very well in the dry. I find them ok in the wet, never anything dramatic but I'm still tempted to try something like a Rainsport next time. I want to experience a proper wet tyre.

You will get a bit of play in the hub (up and down) with no weight on the strut. When you take the wheel off and jack the car up there will be no weight on the top mount anymore and the strut may drop slightly until the top cap reaches the turret. Therefore you will be able to move the strut up and down a bit between the top mount (under the turret) and the top cap (above the turret). Worn top mounts will increase this movement though. I'd be more concerned by the odd knocking noises and the strange feeling in the steering.

Search for ISV mate. Big culprit in the world of VR6 idling problems!

My parents Border Collie has sat in the boot many times, plenty of room. I normally lift her in though to prevent scratches on the bumper.

Yep, I made my own, easy really. Back then you couldn't by them for next to nothing on Ebay though!

How much are the anti roll bar kits?

The Mk3s are screwed together (interior wise) a lot better than the Corrados and you do get a lot more car (condition wise) for the same money with a Golf. However having owned both I wouldn't go back to a Golf VR6. The Corrado just feels so much more of a car and drives much more like a Sports coupe than a hatchback with a big engine.

Yep you shouldn't be able to get your fingers under the raised caps, top mounts probably fooked.

The automatic choke thing is a red herring, the VR6 is fuel injected so automatic chokes don't come into it. I'd check/clean the ISv if it were mine. :-)

Got a Mk2 8V Gti and I love it. Does a good job of everything and parts are soo cheap.
