H20 AVW storm green spotted parked up on mellor rd at 16.00 in cheadle hulme looked very nice.

E57 ORM is mine and yes N57 ORM is a forum car too. Good to see the raddo in that company.

:thumbleft:

Use mine everyday have days where i wish i had something newer but other days it still puts a smile on my face.

Nice

Done 3 now with dash in easy peasy as long as you dont get the usual spinning nuts in the engine bay

He'll be alright im 6ft 4 he cant be far off. Should be a good watch though wonder why the didnt do the chains?

Looking forward to seeing edd do the heater matrix ☺

Yeah as above most corrado parts are obsolete according to the dealership. If you get hold of a part number type it into vw parts germany and if its available then see if vw heritage will order it for you through them to avoid postage fees from germany.

Yep 4 screws two in the corners and two on the top middle of binnacle.

Easiest way is to remove the speedo binnacle.

All sorted now it was a dodgy centre gauge connection...wires shorting out on eachother.

But fuse 16 keeps blowing so says theres a problem with wiring to me.

Vince is the man when it comes to the vr6. Good suggestions hope you get to the bottom of it.

If you can be 100% sure no air has gone back up towards the master cylinder and brakes feel good then you should be okay. Personally id bledd the whole lot to make sure.

Ended up buying the ebay ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLKSWAGEN-PASSAT-2-8-VR6-IGNITION-LEADS-FERROFLEX-HI-PERFORMANCE-RED-HT-/111376024327 They are a snug fit and do require the filing down of tabs on Ht lead guides to fit properly in my opinion even though it says they dont. Im impressed though for the price, i got given my postage back for providing pictures of them on my car once fitted as you can see in the ebay ad. Car feels a lot more alive i dont know if its just in my head though as its a new part. Anyway thumbs up from me.

Gave the old girl an oil service today (off for a week so thought what better time) 175,000 miles on car and 14k miles on engine, new passenger side headlight glass and all new bulbs installed. Also installed the 8mm red ht leads i got off ebay.

I dont hear the pump a tall even when mine died there was no warning or dodgy noises.

I think the pierburg ones have been discontinued now thus meaning there is only VDO - 1H0 919 651Q available. So when people needed to change their fuel pump they had to order a new vdo pump plus the level sender. When i needed a pump i got mine from VW.

Surely yours being a VR6 the fuel pump should match the FPR at 4bar?

Id get a fuel pressure test done. Cheapest option first.

If you've got the yellow corrado manual it says in there how to do it.

Saw you on the way out "Tempest" waiting to pull out onto the main road, i was in E57 ORM. White corrados look cool.

Bit sunburnt ☺

You could get one from a breaker, cut off and reweld.
