This is the rust that was cut out !
-
I did the solid column years ago, it does make it feel a lot more positive, The cowls are getting hard to find, early and late “bottoms” are the same,just different part numbers, tops are different due to the hazard light ! Had the car in the body shop last Xmas, new sills, (eBay ones)came galvanised.Fitted really well, rear arches were showing signs of tin worm, so scored a set of second hand arches of eBay, cleaned up like new ! Front wings were not good, couldn’t find a decent set of late wings,so got a set of used “early”wings from a breaker local to me (eBay again) nearly rust free,the metal seems thicker on the earlier wings ! Body shop did a really good job putting it all together, bottom of the car was resprayed ,looks new again, struggling to put pics up at the moment

I must update this more regularly, I did the Polo rear brake upgrade, really easy bolt on, everything fits as it should, and no silly tapered bearings ! ABS was a straight fit, if you do a lot of miles like me, go for it. If anybody is interested, I have all the part numbers, sorry only got them for a four stud car P.S. now on 297k, drivers seat out being re-trimmed, so slumming it on an old fabric seat

For full closure, the Corrado uses a green plastic “thingy” Really not a job for the faint hearted

Haven’t got round to it yet, I sort of fixed it,I unplugged the light [emoji3] Probably do it next week, when I’ve got a bit more time, I will post 5he outcome

I can confirm they are the same as a mk2 golf, as that’s what’s on mine !
-
I guessed as much, as it was used on a few models, thanks for the reply

ABS light came on, had my local garage run vancom, turns out it’s the brake pedal sensor ! luckily I bought a spare many moons ago before they went extinct . After un-wrapping it,(foiled bag) I have the coloured plastic bits in a separate bag, I can’t find anything in the Bentley manual, does anyone know where they go ? or will it be self explanatory when I take the old one out

Talked up the rarity of the parcel shelf, but not the fog lights ! Anyone notice, the VW place run by Lee, is the same place that car S.O.S. goes to

16vG60 (John) sells a vented rear brake kit (John Mitchell racing) Does sound like one of his kits, he doesn’t do a vented kit to go under 15” wheels, (I enquired) -
Late VR6 accelerator/throttle cable needed please

I have used them for other cables, and flexi -hoses, but not specifically Vr I was working about a mile from them, popped in the morning, and my cables were made up by end of play -

These will make you one https://www.venhill.co.uk/cables-and-components.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA5Y6eBhAbEiwA_2ZWIfNuVcWEz55i8q8FUnBRpGm8ZhZyx7-zyGmYV07drJ3jVmVc15vv3BoCDjcQAvD_BwE -
This is a NOS heater box I’ve had in my loft for many years, I tried to take pics to show the foam, and two doors have foam stops ! I have dynaliner here, and it is very much the same as OE, I’ve bought a new matrix,and will be putting it all in very shortly. I’ve done the matrix before, (dash out twice) but this time I’m going to try leaving the dash in, I’ll let you know how I get on

They sell braided lines, an adaptor is needed to bolt the caliper to the strut, they do that, they do the hi-tensile bolts, everything you need, even brake fluid !
-
Billet 4’s, if you ring them, they do a complete kit for the Corrado, I live about 1/2 hr from their factory, when I bought mine (about 19 years ago) I picked the parts up, and they showed me around, I have the original part list, but mines a four stud car !
-
I have hi-specs on mine, done about 180k on them, they fit under my 15” wheels with no problem I’ve found for best performance to take out pads,clean and re-grease (copper slip) pads and pins, I’m only on my 2nd set of pins ! I use ebc red pads, but really down to the driver choice
