  1. I personally wouldn't use anything but VAG but if you are going to buy pattern then I'd get these... (BTW - VW charge about £30 each so not sure where £100 came from?) http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=741
  2. Just say you're living in it Jimbo!
  3. Just call them and ask for the vendors / landlords details and go direct to them mate!
  4. Yep - I've had issues with them also - never again!
  5. It isn't but I can't really look at this site at work when I get constant adds coming up for midget dating and meeting single russian grandmothers..
  6. Just use Chrome with AdBlock - site works so much faster with this as does eBay!
  7. Yeah there are 2... Have you tried your ECU in another car? could be a blown injector driver causing this... Other thing it could be is the charger - is this in good shape? any sign of oil in the pipe work?
  8. What are you missing - the switch?? This isn't an MOT fail by the way!
  9. What work was done? Sounds like a missing earth if none are working?
  10. Hello, have a look at the FAQ and Knowledge base - http://wiki.the-corrado.net/the_corrado_buying_guide_checklist.html
  11. A few people have done a climatronic conversion from a later car as the heater boxes from Passat's fit - have a search on here for info...
  12. Yeah best pads you can get but I'd say you're better off doing a 280mm upgrade!
  13. Maybe the speed sensor on the gearbox has been swapped with one form a Storm model?
  14. Well... same 54mm Piston size so you don't need to upgrade the MC but the discs and pads on the VR6 and G60 are a few mm wider so the calipers themselves are also wider. You can get away with it using 16V pads and slightly worn discs but new calipers are not hugely expensive.

    Top mounts

    Some coilovers require the later 'comfort' style mounts also - depends on the design of the top spring plate where the bearing sits
  16. Yep - it's completely different as the VR uses Plus Suspension with a wider track
  17. http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1583 Ideally you need new calipers too as the pads and discs are wider - if you bought a pair of G60/VR ones then you could use the 16V ones as exchange I would think.
  18. Yeah just cut off the wear indicator plug. Another vote for genuine stuff - I recently changed my VAG pads (after 42k miles) for Green stuff and they aren't as good and seem to require warming up a bit first - particularly crap first thing in the morning!
  19. Have you tried VW?? usually a few pence for these...
  20. http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk Have a look on the above forum - I think there is a mod from Bosch that you can buy for it which may or may not be what you've already done, If you soldered the PCB yourself though I'd check for dry joints and re-flow, the ones with relays on the boards get very hot and the heat cycles eventually knacker the solder. You could also try switching off and fully defrosting it incase the evap pipe is blocked with ice, also check the compressor fan at the back is not clogged with dust / pet hair etc, mine needs hovering every couple of years Kind of agree with the comment above if it's over 7 years old (which it is) although I like Bosch stuff becuase it's fairly reliable and you can fix / gets parts for them easily - I've got a Bosch washing machine, fridge freezer and dishwasher all around 15 years old and still working as good as when they were new!
