    Mine does this on warmish starts in hot weather...

     

    The cause is the version of SNS chip I have dumps a bit too much fuel in on a warm start and floods then engine slightly - after 20-30 seconds in clears itself and the idle stabilises - does yours feel like this?

    Nice going on the 20 years

     

    Hmmm, I think it's more like 16 unless I'm mistaken and it's now 2012!

     

    Yep, as Yan says... not factory.

     

    The only Corrado I have seen with pin stripes is the JH81 prototype.

    As above - you just need 1 Ltr from VW - £5 as the whole system uses 0.9Ltr

     

    You need to remove the serpentine belt though and prime the pump by hand - to do this you need am M8 by 80mm bolt to de-tension and you might want a new belt too

    Yeah, I found it a bit restrictive too - kept bashing it on the sunroof... If I ever build a track car it will have to be a non-sunroof model!

     

    Jim - Can't believe it was a year ago now we took the Scirocco over, I guess that means it's been out a year too almost!

    For the sake of a fiver you might as well buy the tool although as above it's nothing special and can be copied or you can just use circlips pliers on 8v engines, it's only the 16V / 20V engines with the auto-tensioner that require the proper tool.

     

    Injectors are £80 from VW but £60ish from a Bosch dealer.

     

    G60 ECU's go for around £60 usually and the chip is easy enough to change as it just sits in a socket - not soldered to the board.

    Good advice above and this is exactly why i'd never really recommend coilovers on a Corrado for daily road use although they are usful for getting the ride height spot-on.

     

    Just to add to what Stuart was saying about tyres - Goodyear Eagkle F1 GSD3's are also nice and soft although slightly more prone to punctures becuase of this.

    Hiya, yeah I've just looked at it too... £82 though according to ETOS

     

    On the polo it's fitted up to the end of the V chassis number then it changes to the built in UJ from W onwards...

     

    So basically you are looking for a 95-97 Polo (6N) - N,M,P,R and maybe some S reg's

    It's a 535 part iirc - get your dealer to simply look at the Corrado diagram for non adjustable - the column part is about £70 and the housing is about £30 - the rest of it's fairly cheap...

     

    I'd keep looking for 6N polo's though - you will find one with the right bit!

    On G60's they can provide a bit of extra heat protection and they are stiffer so stand up away from the block but the standard ones do the job fine.

     

    On a VR it's not worth fitting anything but standard as they fit the cable management well and are all exactly the right length etc
