Yeah, the sleeve is the only slightly challenging bit I wasn't sure about. Thanks Jay.

Any chance of a picture of the washer setup laid out in separate bits...? Gotta love a good homemade tool.

Now with pics for remaining parts.

Classic.

See my edit mate.

Third'd'd'd'd. Clearly refitted wrong or pushed through after some argy-bargy from underneath. Definitely won't seal properly like that and quite possibly the cause of your leak. -------- Re-looked at pictures, basically the whole heater-box needs pulling down and the raised section will line up inside the chassis cut out. I'm surprised your dash even fits with it like that, likely throwing the whole heater box off at a weird angle. I reckon remove a few trim panels and have a wiggle. :dance: Might just shift it back into place, alternatively its a part dash removal to re-align. :bonk:

Loving the angle of attack. Defo trying this method once i've ordered bushes. Even with a main dealer sized press, we struggled to change these bushes for powerflex ones of my brother's golf. Many a bad word was said after they slid/popped out of the press sideways for the umpteenth time.

Pretty sure age of car is the key here. Also something about Pre-Aug 92 springs to mind. What I can tell you for sure is that I've attempted to have my car MOT 2 years running with the decat still fitted and emissions were a long way off passing. (95 VR6).

Steve, would appear on double checking part number that its not actually a rear sensor after all. So apologises for this. Looks actually more like a third front sensor however part number doesn't register anywhere. Very strange.

Bit of a classic this. Having had the opportunity to listen to many a VR engine, owning a few myself as well as breaking a few. The chain issue seems very car history specific. For example: Case 1: Just in the process of doing chains/tensioners/guides on my personal car. Just shy of 170k, used mainly for motorway work for the last couple of years. Lease car in its early days, which is never a good thing. On removal, only real sign of wear was a very worn and grooved metal rear guide and a slightly brittle plastic guide. Tensioners, both in one piece, chains are good nick although haven't checked against new for stretching. No nasty noises and only changed due to engine coming fully out of car for an overhaul and tidy. People laughed when you'd tell them the mileage after listening to the engine under load. Case 2: My brother's 95 Golf VR6. Recently Supercharged running just shy for 300bhp. Approx 140k. He had the lump out for a pre-charge check, did chains/tensioners after inspecting tensioners and found one to be in many pieces not actually providing any tension and the other not enough tension. Guides looked barely worn but all changed for precaution due to increased pressure on lump. Case 3: On initial search for a Corrado, 2-3 years ago I viewed 7/8 before actually buying one. A owner/car I visited in Slough looked the ticket on paper, low mileage for year sub 90k, body looked in good nick. History was there, owner seemed genuine. Started her up and straight away I became aware of the all most unmistakable chain rattle/clatter. He'd failed to mention this before but needless to say I walked away from that one, bearing in mind I was spending 3.5-4k at this time. So really my experience can be summed up as follows. Mileage, means nothing really. Service History, means everything. And if you've just bought a VR, you'd be well advised to whip the side covers off and have a little check of the condition of various top chain related parts. Should give you a good indication of the condition of the bits you can't see.

First port of call with all electrical issues... ...Fusebox.

Received mate. Boxed and ready to go tomorrow.

Sunroof motor cover is yours. PM heading your way with payment details. Brake servo doesn't have the switch in it unfortunately. This was sold previous. I do however have a spare one of these which I was keeping for myself but I could be tempted to part with it..? ---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ---------- First batch of parcels went out today for the early payers.

Guys and girls, All requests responded to via pm. Keep'em coming. ---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ---------- Mark, pm sent your way also. [think we posted around the same time.] ---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ---------- No strikethrough BB code any more Mods..?

Having to relinquish my lockup in the New Year so am having a parts clear-out. Basically leftovers from a few cars I've broken with a friend in the past that I haven't had time to re list before now. Really don't want to throw this lot away as there are plenty of useful bits which could tidy up/keep running plenty of Corrado's. And yes you read it correctly, everything is £5 aka a 5iver (unless you think a part is over priced - then just inform me and we'll work on price). Delivery on top as standard, collection welcomed (Flitwick, Beds) and obviously free. Also open to discount on multiple purchases, just try me.

And the pierre de la resistance: 17'' BBS VZ - Set of 4 PCD: 5x100 ET: 35 CB: 57.1 Fresh from complete pro refurb in Hyper Silver @ BJV aka wheelrefurbishing.co.uk Come with full set of genuine carbon effect BBS centre caps. Pics: Relatively rare in this size and fitment. First to see will buy. One wheel has a very small mark (approx 3mm) in the powdercoat from transportation. Almost unnoticeable but worth mentioning. These wheels are perfect fitment for 5 stud Volkswagens, Seats, Skodas & Audi's aswell as Subarus & Toyotas. Collection only from Flitwick, Beds or Northampton. Maybe able to deliver at cost. Would not want these to be shipped due to potential risk of damage following refurb. Price: now £395.00 o.v.n.o. (were £425.00 o.v.n.o.) Regards, Stu

Carrots, just dropped you a pm. Found 2 in my box of relays.

Yep, they are. Mine never used to go past 1. If anyone ever got in and turned it up, I used to look at them like they just hit the passenger ejector seat button. "You don't wanna do that..."

If you're looking to shift it on, give me a shout as I might actually buy one of these.

This..? If so: 357 837 209

eBay ones tend to be chinese jobbies mate so I would avoid if you plan to keep the car for some time to come. I would imagine the ARZ-Tuning example if as specified (Valeo) will be a genuine supplied item like below: P/N: 536 819 021

I have a set of clear side markers in storage ready to go onto the car shortly. Will get a part number off them for you later Karl. 99% sure they are geniune also. Don't forget you need the correct bulb holders as well to slot into them. Finding these was harder than finding the side markers themselves.

Boot popper as said above. Likely case here is its broken in the past and not been replaced, just simply removed. From my experience they tend to break due the boot not being opened for a long time (i.e. if car has been standing), seizing up under compression and then exploding the first time you open the boot for a while. Rendering the popper useless.

Might have a pair of these i.e. door looms kicking around, I'll have a look.

Easiest, quite possibly. Cheapest - I very much doubt.

I'd urge people to have an attempt at these things, Corrado's are just a giant mechano set really. Yes, the sunroof mechs are a little tricky but if its already broken, what's the worst that can happen..? You break it further...? Plenty of help and assistance on the problem on the forum and many other internet resources, also plenty of ways to skin this tricky moggy of a problem. Repair kits can be found, donor parts from other cars are available if tracking down an identical, reliable replacement is a problem (Golf/Passat/Seat/Skoda etc....) Allow plenty of time to tackle this job, start simple i.e. removing trim panels, headliner etc to get clear access to assess problem/damage and take your time removing items noting how they were attached and what bolts went where. Grabbing a knowledgeable friend to help is also beneficial with this job as well as plenty of pairs of clean gloves when dealing with interior trim such as the headliner. Best of luck.
