hi all. my heater matrix packed up last year... but I cam across this the other nite http://www.scribd.com/doc/228752/-corrado-vr6 wonder if its worth asking VW if they would do the fix needed for the recall? :?

ah well to late now! :shrug:

all I know is its made by wurth not sure what its called. and its ment to be a permenant repair

hi guys how ya alll doing? getting better wether for getting the raddos out! I got my leaky matrix fixed. my local mechanic came up trumps. turnes out its a common problem on cars. he had this magic potion by wurth and let me tell you its worth every penny! only £40 for complete job.... it goes into your cooling system and its got a sort of solder in it that finds the hole and blokes it. making a permenant repair. and as far as I can see its held up goodo! got my brakes to do now and gotta replace my rad suppert xmamba thing. oh joy cheers for the pointers :thumbleft:

eh up! been away from the computer... intersting to know about the gsf part going to shite... and the mk4's (take it to be golf) may fit. im just going now to get a wet vax and going to get stuck into it later and have a look to see what can be done with fitting a bypass joint. if anyone could tell me what like a job is either taking the carpets out and cleaning them or IU might just replace?? catch ya next time im back online

good stuff hi as a kite! im gona go out in a bit and try and scoop the coolant. I thought there mite be a problem with it...... al let you know how I get on with it. just a wee question where xaktly is the pipes your on about? for doing the bipass

cheers guys for the replys!! ive been scratching through other threads and its sounds like a fairly common thing to go on the raddo... lol I thought it mite be a bit of a fidly job (rattels?? over the VALVER). the garage ive got it booked into is dear and you have to get it booked in but hez worth it. I mite have a look at the pipes you mentioned renson. I was going to get a m8 of mine to tow me coz I thought coolant would just piss out from mine to the garage but then I thought the water pump mite still be turning when im getting towed? bipassing sounds like a cool trick! cheers again

hi all! didnt know what section to put this one in thought either the interior or engine bay.. my problem is that last nit I got the corrado out of the garrage to give it a warm up before the summer. I let it run idling when I did the windows and when I had done the glass I jumped back in and turned the ignition off and noticed there was a green steaming liquid running down abouve the clutch and thought it right away to be the coolant. has anyone ever heard of this happening before? Ive got it booked in at my local garage but any pointers would be great! the joys of raddo N 8)
