Hi Everyone

Has anyone got the diagrams to help rebuild my VR6 Engine Please.

The Internals are done.

Just rebuilding the externals.

Alternator belt side nearly done

Injector rail and lower manifold fitted

Oil Cooler fitted

Oil filter housing and thermostat housing bolts missing

Need new fan belt

Alternator tensioner bolts thread damaged x2

Would upload pics but not allowing me to.

Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks

This is going to take a while I guess...

What would be the correct offset for a 17" wheel?

I would like to upgrade my VW Corrado Storm...??? Or Shall I leave her standard???

Does anyone have any ideas thats not going to make her loose her value.... I was thinking stripping the engine and rebuilding with lighter upgraded parts, redoing the body work, new 17" BBS wheels, shes already sat on the floor with a 40mm drop. Would it be wise putting upgraded flush door handles, taking off the side protectors, maybe even a remap, carbon fibre bonnet, supercharger??

The list goes on!

Anyone a Corrado Specialist with all the know-how and some good ideas??

Much Appreciated Az

ps.. went to an alloy shop last week and he said i will be struggling to find wheels to fit with a 40mm drop...

Taken drivers seat out.

Loosed the 10mm bolt on the front of the seat.

Pushed chair right back and it slid straight out.

Had to strip bottom half of seat which was took some time.

Slowly pulled the (heater element) from seat.

Checked cables and did a continuity test. Found a bad soldering connection and a break.

Resoldered and cured fault.

Put everything back together...

Can be time consuming if its your first time.

Found the fault with the drivers heated seat with it not working.

I have taken some pictures for anyone that might be interested :)

Thanks guys il check it out.... :)

I have found the problem with the cooling fans not going off.... Finally...

In the engine bay on the right hand side next to the water tank and washer fluid tank theres a black like relay block with 2 x 10mm bolts and a see through cover with the numbers 506................ 5amp and 20amp....

I have just tapped it and they have gone off!!!

Must be a dodgy sticking relay or a bad connection.

I think I will be stripping it down and giving it a good clean.

Just glad they have gone off and are not killing the battery anymore...:)

Thanks guys il check it out.... :)

1. My VR6's cooling fans dont want to go off and its killing my battery...

2. Drivers heated seat not working but the passenger seats perfect. You can hear the relay clicking in the nsr arch when turning the heated passenger seat on.

Anyone had this problem?

are they from a mk 3 vr6 ??

no its a GTi not a vr

Does anyone possibly know if the springs and shocks for a golf mark3 will fit a 1995 corrado vr6 :?

IMO the best corrados are the ones that look standard but have subtle mods......lupo wipers, standard steering wheel !!, slight lowering with collies, maybe a subtle exhuast and colour coded front grill.

 

Keep it the way it was - for the most part - meant to be :D

 

2p :wave:

well iv still got the original one.. got this 1 for 30 quid on ebay!!

a bargain I guess...

As a fellow Storm owner, I agree - best car I've ever had too! Shame you got the wrong colour and you have a pink air freshener dangling from your rear view mirror though! :camp:

 

 

LOLOL!!!

I prefer the mystic blue Storms Not the Green Storms.. Id still have one tho.. :wave:

Congratulations. Nice looking Storm Any plans for her?

Thanks!

Well yeh but no but yeh but no!!! I aint sure!?

She definately needs a spray job but i think I need to keep her standard to hold the value. Any ideas?

She sits a bit high for my liking, was thinking to lower the suspension and adding a maybe a superchip...

It all costs money?!!

Well what can I say apart from its smells good!! :tongue:

My baby, the best car i've ever had! :D :shock: :D

Hi bud can i ask how much u paid for ur respray?

the reason i ask is cos my vr needs a respray..
