  1. Right then,

    Been ages since i posted, never got time etc..

    This may have been already discoverd previously by somebody else who's fed up with the ancient headlamp adjusters that crumble as soon as you breath on them.

    Anyway, By chance i had an old 2004 Toyota yaris in for repairs to the front end, had to change both headlampas with cheapo DEPO versions.

    Yep.. the plastic adjusters are an identical fit to ours, even the black, rubber o-ring is exactly the same..

    Unscrew the DEPO's adjuster (DEPO or Toyoyta manual adjusted headlamps only, electric motor versions obviously have electric motors without the adjuster needed)

    First put your corrado's adjuster in a vice and remove the adjuster's plastic thumb wheel by pulling it (carefully) off, screw into the new adjuster your old 'raddo threaded adjuster and press back on the thumb wheel and refit your new adjuster in the corrado's headlamp and adjust the beam.

    No more searching for expensive, 30 year old bits of shiyte plastic..

    P/N on the DEPO's adjuster: 32-212-11A4N2 or 32-772-1101N3.

    I've got a few photos but i can never seem to upload them here..

    Cheers-Andrew


  2. Hi mate,

    I-ve got a -92 2.9 ABV Vr6 bottom end left over from a crashed corrado, way back in -92.. Been sitting since then and only had 19.000km-s..

    I-ve got the block, crankshaft, pistons without rings, sump and a few other bits. Head was sold years ago.

    One slight snag, i'm in Rome though.

    If your interested, Let me know.

    cheers.


  3. Hi,

    I've got an ultra low miles 2.9 ABV vr half engine left over.

    It's only run 19.000km's.. Only got the block, pistons, crank, sump rods etc as head was sold ages ago.

    Let me know if your interested.

    cheers-Andrew


  4. The later shift tower bolts straight in to the older 02A boxes mate. Just make sure you get the matching bottom support for the shifter's shaft, the part that bolts onto the bottom of the gearbox housing with 'VW' embossed on it as two types were made, one type for a thinner shaft shifts and another had a larger diameter.

    You'll have to also get the reverse light switch off the mk4's tower too, they are different. Buy a VW polo aluminum gear lever housing as it bolts straight into your corrado's tunnel so no faffin around making up spacers and bodges to install the mk4 shifter housing..

    I did this mod a couple of years back but i can't remember every detail though.. I did have a problem with the brand new Vw polo housing though, iirc a couple or the holes that secure the gearlever's securing plate weren't threaded, nothing major though.

    Cheers-Andrew


  5. Yeah, sorry it was another member also from the states looking for the shifter..

    Could you send me your email? I could then load up a few photos of the parts and send them off my phone, much easier.
