  1. Righto,

    What's the max thickness of wheel spacer one can fit onto a corrado running 15" BBS RM's fitted with 205 /50 section boots?

    My major concern is when hitting a pothole or travelling 5 up that the tyre would shave itself on the wheelarch lip..

    No choice if i fit bigger calipers under 15" wheels, only way is 15/20mm spacers.

    Thoughts pleeze.


  2. The ecu does indeed have an earth return, I don't remember the exact wire but it'll have brown insulation. I haven't seen a 16v loom in 10 years since I last broke one..

    As long as the car runs ok, starts etc I wouldn't worry.


  3. Just looks like someone in the past has added on an

    Extra earth wire. I've had three corrados and dismantled loads and

    all the earths had brown insulation, not black, like the wire shown.

    Does everything work? Maybe at one point extra equipment was added on?

    Just remove it I the car has no issues.


  4. Seems that the wrong wires have been fitted on the wrong sensors.

    The sensor at the back of the cylinder head, above the exhaust manifold is the oil temp. Sender that

    You check by using the onboard computer button MFA.

    The other sensor under the dist. Is the water temp. Sender for the instrument gauge.

    Just swap over the crossed wires and the gauge should work.


  5. Wasn't my intension Jay, just to warn you of the possible consequences..

    The cleaning is the least of the problem, it's actually getting them dried out afterwards that's the bugger. I've tried dunking them in hot, soapy

    water and then force drying them with compressed air, fine on the outer bits but thanks to the metal bulb cover (At least on the second series lamps)

    you cannot get to the center part of the light, the air will just force the water side to side.. Bent pipe cleaners could also work.

    Give it a go mate, nothing to loose 'cause if you do break a glass i have spare foglamps available!!


  6. Risky, you could crack the Glass if heated too much, How Will you Know when they are too hot?

    The sealant sers Like concrete and very difficult to remove, both off the glass and worse still out of the actual housing and that's if you get the glass of in 1 piece..

    The only sealant I ever use when replacing the lense is made by Sika, white marine sealant used on boats.

    Try it, you might be lucky and succeed.


  7. Allright Spen,

    As you can see,dingle got his goods yesterday safe and sound. I've no doubt your parcel will turn up, be a bit difficult to loose it!

    Did you try the tracking number?


  8. Looks very nice mate, good colour too.

    Get rid of that awful interwarmer for a start, lower temp. thermostat and fan switch next, then check the probably crusty

    ingector wiring harness.. fit a decent oil cooler in place of the original afterthought fitted by Vw, next it's time for a no-lag SNS eprom in the Digifart ecu.

    Whilst your in there change the g60 cogged timing belt too.

    If your stuck for bits there's a few of us on here to help you out.

    Enjoy it!!
