Ice White Socks

I have mine back up for sale now as car up for sale and this was never needed in the end. £116 delivered as per group buy- think there is an ad in the classifieds for it..

They still sell them at VW- picked one up myself only a few weeks ago

Yes i had the same problem- new black temp sender fixed the prob- best to get a new rubber seal as well - the old ones go hard and don't reseal properly- also to remove you just need to unclip the metal clip that holds the sensor in- but fiddly to get back but do-able

I had a quick google on this actually- 30-70 mph in a Corrado is 5.7 secs- the R32's is 6.3!! It actually shouldn't be a suprise at all that the Corrado kicks butt- just a bit embarrassing for the poor chap with the R32- I even saw him nudge his mate in a kind of 'watch this' stylee as he came up behind me on the sliproad haha

Well the puma came and went- best handling car I ever had Got offered an R32 at a good price- nice car and its everything everyone always says it is- Fast, comfortable, secure, sticks to the road well etc. Had a sneaking suspicion the Corrado was always faster though- proved yesterday when I handed a bit of a kicking out to another mk5 R32 yesterday- actually pulled a good 2 car lengths out from 40- 80mph :D ETKA Corrado.pdfDSC00464.JPG[/attachment:1twddrhj] Golf is going to have to go as have a new 1 series company car coming in April (PM me if anyone is interested- 06 manual in black with 30k on the clock) So its back to the Corrado! Been a few changes in the last few years including new KW V1's, new windscreen, new headlight glasses, recon-sunroof, new rear calipers, discs and shields and a nice full machine polish! stromlaufplan_gamma4.pdfDSC00426.JPG[/attachment:1twddrhj] Corrado92.pdfDSC00423.JPG[/attachment:1twddrhj] passat climatronic wiring diags.pdfDSC00428.JPG[/attachment:1twddrhj] climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfDSC00430.JPG[/attachment:1twddrhj] 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfDSC00443.JPG[/attachment:1twddrhj] DSC00454.JPG[/attachment:1twddrhj]

had the same problem myself- a blowtorch was the only way I could get them out- wish I would have used it first :-(

You know I got away with dropping some light oil into the cable outer (done by lifting the rubber boot at each cable on the caliper side)- mine froze up all the time last year but never had any problems since doing this (and it was minus 8 this morning)- Think its just when you get water into the cables which lock up solid when its cold.

I think 1/2 litre per 1000 miles is a sign of engine wear, not to mention the amount of oil the OP mentioned is in the intake pipe. 1/2 a litre per 1000 miles is undeniably a sign of engine wear- I never said it wasn't? In fact I never even mentioned anything about oil usage :?

Yep I got one of these too- couldn't believe what a great fit it was!

I had exactly this issue- I just pulled the PCV off and cleaned the joins, retightened the clips, and that was that. I wouldn't automatically assume its a symptom of a worn engine as mine uses no oil, keeps its plugs perfectly, doesn't smoke etc. It only takes a few drops of oil to make a nasty smell if its just being left to char itself on the manifold.

Sorry Jon I missed your final question on this- so to bring it back from the dead: yeah they came round and fitted new bolts- all sorted. Had a leaking coily on the front when I checked a month or so ago (seems very unusual for a KW)- but they sent me a replacement out without any messing so just gotta get that fitted now at some point.

Yep got mine too- thanks :D

Funny you should post this Kip as you might be able to help me out- I am halfway through replacing my rear brakes (shields, bearings, discs, calipers etc) and noticed there are two types of slider on the carrier- one tapers down in three steps and the second has two or three flats on it running the length of the pin- have you (or anyone) got any idea which way round these are supposed to go?? Cheers

Sorry fella- paid on Paypal just now :)

Me too please
