hi hassan when i ran my new loom in the VR i managed to run it underneath the battery alongside where the other wiring runs in that area this also allowed me just enough cable to stick the relays to the front of the washer bottle reservoir i did take a couple of pics but they are not the easiest to work out

updated list: MJA Tigerfish Ger040 *2 TimA Bfstrachan mnmv12 StormyTommy kenny vr671 Tim A G60 YH Keyo Corrado16ved 1xShaunx1 JJBRADO currently at 15 required

updated list: MJA Tigerfish Ger040 *2 TimA Bfstrachan mnmv12 StormyTommy kenny vr671 Tim A G60 YH Keyo Corrado16ved which takes us above the minimum number as we have hit 13 If it is ok with all participant i will leave this buy open until friday 26th Feb & then close so as to progress 🙂

hi shaun apologies for delay the price for the last run of looms with the addition of the OE connectors came in around £83 ish i havent checked if connectors etc have gone up but will try to do so this week i would hope a new run of looms would come in around the same

welcome to the forum these would only be available from a second hand source im afriad - been NLA at VW for many years now dont expect them to be cheap though

update: MJA Tigerfish Ger040 *2 TimA Bfstrachan mnmv12 StormyTommy kenny vr671 just one more needed to hit the target people

one of my favourite kids programes!!!

i think wheel weight will add another factor AFAIK the speedlines are a fairly light wheel, IIRC around 7 to 8kg without tyres therefore putting a big heavy wheel on will not only cause crashy ride issues but also have an effect on the steering & feedback i believe Superturismo's are a lightweight wheel

Hasan in all my years on here one main thing i have gathered is that 17's are not good on corrados, 16 is the biggest to not get any handling issue

ok no problem, added you to the list

the cartridge is being removed & completely stripped m8 took the opportunity to have the head liner etc retrimmed too

thanks cressa IIIRC i have already changed the motor for a better second hand one a few years ago it used to move ok on manual but motor struggled so am hoping it is just gunked up & the tension cut off is not letting the motor strain

MJA Tigerfish Ger040 *2 TimA Bfstrachan mnmv12

yes will do 🙂

currently at 6 requested (if GER040 has 2) need another 4 or 5

precisely what is happening on my VR atm - hopefully it will revive it

yes m8 no problem

guys - i dont mean to put a dampener on things & i will ask but i have ran three of these looms to date & one of them for over 10 years with no issues & even without OE connectors, just taped up spades please bear in mind that neither Zak or myself make any money for the time we put into these, we do it out of love for the corrado & to help members on here, plus with his offshore commitments time is very limited if you mount the the loom well there really isnt any need for water protection IMO when i ran the new one into the VR i was able to fasten the relay section on the front of the washer bottle so chance of them getting wet is minimal i can post some pictures to illustrate once ive got the VR back from sunroof rebuild

hi all bizarrely i have been speaking to Zak over the last couple of days he is ok for doing another run of looms but we need to hit a minimum of 10 same deal as previously, IE due to his offshore work commitments being rather random & sometimes lengthly there would be no specific lead time, it could take a month or it could take 3 i will assist by organising things on here & will also do the leg work regarding the OE connectors, which i believe went down well with all of those who had a loom last time i will try & make time to refresh myself on all the costs etc, update here & then we can get the ball rolling in the new year oh & happy christmas to all by the way

i will certainly put some pics to update my build thread on here once it is back no ive not bothered with a black switch, i am leaving the OE grey one in as i think it should give a little contrast to what is above head

hopefully i should have a fully functioning sunroof too nothing else planned until spring when the underside is going to be refreshed, everything possible blasted & powder coated, new bushes, running gear etc

thanks! i actually went for fake alcantara as the trim place showed me how they struggle to get the real stuff to bend into all of the liner contours - which is probably a good job though as it would have been twice the price & it was rather eye watering already hey ho, that is the interior finished though once it is back in i did take a pic of the sunroof control panel but the flash has made it look grey rather than black - cant wait to see it all back in the car

not sure if the VR will be back before christmas but she is currently being treated to a sun roof strip & rebuild. whilst the cartridge is out the headliner, control panel & sun visors have been given the gift of black alcantara 😄
