Thank you 'Supercharged' that's what I needed to hear. One more thing (without going home to look!) how many are there all together? Looking at the Powerflex web site; I definetly need at least One 'EXH 006 75mm' for the rear box. and Two 'EXH 007 75mm'. I'm not so sure as to how many I need nearer the front of the system? (If any?) http://www.powerflex.co.uk/exhaust.asp Thank you

I've found a couple of American web sites selling the Chain type hangers, but no UK companies?

Over many years of Corrado ownership I've replaced my perished mounts/hangers countless times. I've always replaced like for like, as the standard mounts are only a £1 each. I have a standard (heavy) VW exhaust. What I'd like to know, has anyone used the Powerflex High Performance Mounts? How long do they last? Are there any other makes of polyurethane Mounts that are recommended? http://www.powerflex.co.uk/exhaust.asp Cheers Smiffy

I replaced the complete unit, rotor arm and all. The arm was well worn and if I remember rightly lots of flakes of metal fell out when I opened it up. Perhaps a cheap and quick fix would be to look at the arm and only replace that if it's needed.

Does anybody know the life expectancy of the Bosch Dizzy cap on a 1.8 16Valver? I do recall replacing my current one about 5 years ago. I was very pleasently surprised with the performace and running of the car after it was fitted. I must have put at least 40K miles on her since. I do have good leads and plugs and was considering spending a few quid before the worst of the weather. She runs OK, but I have some money to spend on her, kind of a preventative purchase :roll:

Any luck with the video? If you need any help with editing/encoding/codecs/formats whatever, I can help. Im looking forward to watching it.

If it isn't called a Corrado I won't buy one. Rivo? In my opinion it sounds like a 'cheap, small, French car!' Maybe VW have already lost faith in their new design, hence calling it a Rivo. Why would a car based on a classic be named differently? - I can imagine the project manager at VW saying - "We'd just as well call it something new, as it has no direct comparison with the Corrado." That said, if the design is a success, I'm sure the name Corrado will live on.

I'm going to replace the standard brake hoses on my car, my mechanic said they've ballooned at both the top and bottom! I've never had to replace them before, so I might as well go for a quality product. Can anyone please tell me what the product code is for Goodridge Hoses on a 1990 16V Corrado? Oh, I have Mark4 rear calipers, will this effect what I buy? Many thanks Smiffy

Right Guard or Lynx? Yes, at the bottom of the airbox. So, I don't need it?

Hello all The new gas flowed head on my 16Valver has no-where for the warn air return hose to connect to. The back of the air box now has just a short 2" open pipe. Would a custom part help the idle and stop the smell of petrol?

6.6 seconds..not bad for a big old boy! My Corrado only does about 18miles to the gallon...I do seem to rag it everywhere though. The Audi looks more of a cruiser, drive at a sedate pace, but when you need it there's loads of power!

Hello All I'm concidering buying a new money eater. Does anyone know the performace figures for the A8 range? Is the A8 4.2 40V the same car as the 4.2 V8? This looks nice, a big car for Ronin about in http://www.pistonheads.com/ads/detail.asp?i=41204&s=35 What is the general consensus on Audi's?

Thanks, I'll probably buy and fit some from Halfords on Saturday morning. cheers

I've finally fixed the horn on my car. But I think it needs new trumpets. The low tone seems squeeky, kinda like a clowns car....no good! Instead of buying a straight VW replacement, what are my choices in terms of getting a good loud aftermarket horn? Something that fits straight on.

Nice one mate! Yeah, St Albans is close. I'll have a look Friday evening, if I don't get it sorted I'll private post you my number. Thanks
