I've got a box full of hoses mate, also depends on the type of rad you have fitted.

A/C or no A/C?

Are these still available mate?

Allrite guys, Has anyone fitted one of the nifty aluminium crank pulleys that often pop up on eBay in Germany?

What are the drawbacks? If Vw designed the engines with a vibration damper it must have a purpose, no?

They look smashing though, i'm not sure what to do, get 1 or not.

Thoughts pleeze.

Thanks guys, i just got a set off eBay for a good price.

Off with the Weber injection and on with Microsquirt..

Allrite guys, Can anyone tell me if the later version pencil coils fitted on various Vw tfsi golfs will fit on a 9A 16v head?

Are they just a push fit into the head or will the need fixing down somehow?

Cheers.

Buon natale everyone!!

Thanks David, i'll relay that info. on to the owner.

Guys, anyone know where one can obtain the snap-off bolts holding the steering lock onto its coloum from?

Vw here in Rome are utterly fu$$ing useless and i've tried eBay and others but nowt.

Cheers.

Hi, how quick do you need it mate? i'm sure i've got a few air boxes left over in the garage, does it have to be a g60 air box clip? i thought that they were all the same.

If you can wait a few days i'll pop a few in the post and send them over to you in Scotland.

Let me know, cheers.

Ok guys, Can anyone confirm that an exhaust back box off a '93 golf 3 gti 8 valve could be fitted onto

a late '95 corrado 2.0 8v??

Any huge difference in pipe diameter? attachments in wrong places, wrong length etc.

Any info. greatly appriciated.

Yeah, i'm in Rome and the parts situation is getting critical... haven't seen a 'raddo in my local breaker for about 6/7 years now.

Lilfuzzer, i bought that vr6 steering coloum off ebay a few months back and had to get it posted to my uncle's place in Ealing, London.. god knows when i'll ever see that!

Basicly i want to buy the remaing stuff youv'e got up on eBay but seeing as i'm in Italy i'm not allowed to bid, 'cos overseas postage isn't offered.

I'm needing the two plastic lock covers, the 02A gearbox dust cover, 1 of the sunroof motor housings and possibily the late version wiper stalk.

Let me know if you also have two unbent outer window scrapers.

I like the sound of this mod, could i inquire if there's a difference in feel between Dave's modded version compared to that god awful ARZ piece of (130Euro) garbage??

Hopefully the gearstick won't 'bottom out' and hit the bottom metal plate under the gearstick.. Worst piece of crap i've ever bought so now i'm back with the original stick.

Chime in whoever has one fitted.

Anyone bought anything off a member called lilfuzzer?

I need to contact him about some corrado stuff on his eBay page.

Ta.

If these are still available i'll have one.

I've already got the 2 relay version but every now and then the dipped beams don't turn on and i'm not all that impressed with the shiyte quality of the wires either.

PM me what's involved PayPal wise and i'll sort it, just 1 other thing though, i'll need it posted to Rome, Italy so maybe if you could get me an honest quote i'd be gratefull.

Cheers.

Thanks guys, all the connectors are there on the site, fuk all available here in Rome..

Allrite guys, Time's come to renew the awful, crusty wiring fitted onto our cars during their production run.

I'm needing a load of those large female spade connectors that clamp the red 12v+ feed wires that feed the fuse box, the ones that have a locating tab and also red insulation cover.

Does anyone know where i can get them from, their size and if they are available from the stealers??

Cheers.

Allrite wormy, thanks for that. My problem regards the outer rubber dust covers, no way i can get the buggers in

Those are the exact calipers like mine. The only way i see of doing it without damaging the seals or dust covers is to use a piece of metal tube slightly bigger in diameter than the caliper's pistons and first insert the pistons.

Right then all, Has anyone ever overhauled a set of Audi s2 duel piston Girling 60 calipers?

Try as i may i've tried to get the dust seals back in but i can't for the life of me succceed in getting

the little (and big) fekkers back in, no way.

Any special tips or procedures?

Thanks.

Right then, got a few problems regarding my ignition switch cowl that fell to bits.

Basic fact is that the fekkers are NLA anywhere so i've managed to source

1 off a '95 model.

Now i also need the compleat wiper/indicator/mfa stalks aswell.. SO what is involved in retro fitting this lot onto a '92 model corrado??

Are the plugs the same? do the 3 fixing screws have their holes in the same place? Do the stalks have to be Corrado specific or would the mk3 golf ones fit?

I've got a MOMO steering boss fitted, will the indicators still self cancel?

Anyone who's done this conversion please chime in and yes i've searched but got bugger all.

CHEERS!!!

Right guys, does anyone know how the 288mm brake discs fitted to various Vw and Audi's differ in diameter?

How do they differ in diameter? were's the extra 8mm width added to?

I'm trying to fit 288's under s2 calipers so even the extra 8mm would help..seeing as i'm stuck with shiyte 15" rims.

Allrite guys, i'm finally tring to finish off ny 'raddo that's been parked up for nearly 4 years now..

The last thing that needs doing is uprating the brakes but only using 15" rims.

Whoose done the s2 caliper mod? what's needed apart from the obivous calipers? I've already got brand new Goodridge hoses fitted onto standard g60 calipers, will they need changing?

The more info. the better, cheers.

And yes i've been through every page on the forum's search..

Emissions...even though our Corrados were originally fitted with cats..

Allrite chimps, i haven't been on in ages but i'm liking the new layout.

My dam corrado has been on stands for nigh on three years now..and even if it was finished and working i can't use it during the week thanks to some new bullshi$t law saying that the corrado is classed as Euro-1 so i can only use it weekends and on national hoildays!! BUT do i get a road tax reduction??..

Seeing as the car's parked in a private garage and then add this new bollox law and it seems that i STILL have to fork up 390Euro a yearon road tax!!!

Italy has some strange laws..

You lot enjoy your 'raddos and save a thought for my turboed, nitrous injected 2.0 16valver sleepin away...

Cheers-VEEDUBBED.

Right, i need to know if anyone has ever attempted to fit Vauxhall calibra(1990-'95) v6 4 hole discs onto a corrado?

Are there any other 4 hole 288mm discs available as a direct fit?

Cheers.

Right guys,

i've got a problem with brake fluid being forced up and out of the plastic fluid resovoir on top of the ABS block.

Turn the ignition on for a bit and the fluid level drops to the MAX mark courtesy of the ABS's motor but as my 'raddo is seldom used i notice that after a few days the level has risen to the top! sometimes even pushed out the cap..

I've changed the black pressure sphere with a used item but now it's even worse.

What's up? anyone else had this problem?
