Good luck with this nightmare job. IIRC on the Canadian Corrado forum there was an explanation of how to do this without taking the dash out. Lots of photos too....

Gosh that is s nice car. If only I could find one without a sunroof and with ac like my old one in Spain! !

Hi there, i have just stumbled onto this thread not having had a VR6 for 6 years (and yes i am counting the days.....). OK well when i lived in Spain my best pal Carlos was doing a 4WD conversion using Passat syncro 'gear'. He has been on this fine forum probably under the guise of Carlos 'Flare' or if not look up the Spainsh forum http://www.clubcorrado.com and the thread was called 'en que lio me he metido' (what a mess i have put myself into! By the way his English is absolutely perfect and while the thread is in Spanish the photos aren't! Hope this helps!!

£1350 that's a tidy sum now, even more so in 1996.....

This is interesting, on mine (which was LHD), on the left i had headlamps and panel rheostat and and then on the right i had the heated seat buttons, the air con (which was factory fit) was underneath the ventilation knob. That aftermarket air con would not have come cheap.....

I was thinking that. .... maybe part of alarm installation? ??

Thanks for that I'll bear that info in mind. Let me know when you're out and about would be great to meet up. Don't think you'll be able to match the raging bull that is 2007 318i......;) Keep going with the updates on your beautiful vr6 I'm following it closely from now on. Happy driving matt

Bliemy i thought my old one was a good 'un but this looks really nice. I will be following this thread from now on from here in Gosforth, where are you based Mystic? All the best, Matt

Wayne. Pretend you're me mate. ... you've sold your vr6 and you type in 'vr6 noise' in you tube to give yourself a fix. It's torture! !!

Wayne, we have all been there mate don't give up, i guarantee you will regret it. EVERYTHING can bet fixed, there are dozens on this forum who can help you, keep right on till the end of the road....

Great to see the forum being used overseas - welcome! For those parts you could do worse than drive south to Essen in a few weeks time ;)

Good luck with the sale I am sorry to see you go as have always enjoyed this thread. There is something about silver Corrados and yours looks a good car. I hope it returns to this forum. All the best from Newcastle!

Welcome to the friendliest forum on the Net Sue! Can't wait to see some photos of your new wheels, all the best from Newcastle....

My pleasure! It's just great to see a fabulous car being brought back to rude health as you have done, especially in today's 'throw away' society!! Have a look at mine that I had in Spain it was just fabulous but sadly Dad got cancer and I had to come home. Having spent €2500 in the previous month I received a good offer from a Spanish club forum member and I suppose it meant sense. ... maybe. .... The thing is I've been lucky and have had some nice cars Golf Gti, Megane rs, Honda s2000 but the VR6 is the only car I would ever buy back. Quite simply it was just an experience to drive it, the noise the thing made, it's rarity etc etc I could go on. Good ones are few and far between now so that's why I follow your story and others too so keep up the good work. By the way a mate of mine on the Spanish forum has put a climatronic in his vr6 synchro............

One of the very best threads on this forum, well done Sean you can be very proud of what you have done here. The only thing is that it makes me realise why i will probably never have another Corrado as mechanical expertise that the likes of Sean have i never will (have) - keep up the good work!
