hence why i approved it 😉 PMSL

if you dont have one cressa i know i have new drivers & passenger early window switches i can send one you can use to test if cressa doesnt

https://wiki.the-corrado.net/electric_mirror_repair.html there you go m8

ive not seen one for the late switches, only the early ive got a printed copy of the early & it managed to fix my drivers side last year - it should be in the wiki IIRC

lilfuzzer has come good once again 🙂

should be much easier to find now ive got a part number, thank again

that ebay one is the puppy keyo thank you!! even has the VW part number - will call the dealer in the morning just in case much appreciated

ok - ive found out it is called a rear seat lower support bolt none listed at Heritage 😞 i can find one for a jetta but not for corrado - they look similar but no schematic to show dimensions

Hi all I need to ask for help as after pretty much 2 years i am putting the interior back into the VR6. I have 3 parts left to fit; rear seat upright, base & the hump however i have been scuppered by 1 single bolt - somehow i think ive lost the bolt that sticks out of the bottom of the seat upright which goes into the locating slot in the car body. somehow ive got the plastic sleeve that goes over the bolt but not the bolt itself pictures attached to illustrate by any chance does anyone have one of these lying around pls or able to help with a part number so as i can get a replacement? i fear the seat upright, the smaller section one, isnt going to fix properly without this as the other side only fastens with a 2 nuts & washers 😞 thanks in advance & i have already sent lilfuzz a message just in case

where abouts did you position the clips m8?

yes m8 took literally 2 minutes to fit them with the exception of me having to retrieve one of the metal clips from inside the door as wouldnt you know i dropped it & it landed in the one small opening of the door membrane lol

thanks shaun im looking forward to driving with them, hopefully stop the water getting in when the window is slightly down as for the roof trims, ive now paid off the modena's from the credit card & am almost ready to buy the mouldings but heritage are out of stock of the right hand side im not in too much of a rush though as still need funds to finish the wheels & put rubber on them

busy weekend on the VR6 & starting to get it all back together leather all cleaned & conditioned whilst all the interior is still out passenger side & rear all vac'd & cleaned speakers wires, sub wires etc all routed better & taped in place, new earth ran to factory body earth for basslink factory rear speaker housings removed so i can felt behind the fixing points to hopefully stop the squeaks from when they were taking out for the coilovers 10 years ago lol new kurzy headlight loom ran into place - OE connectors made it so much cleaner 😄 finally, got the Heko's on hopefully when it stops raining this week i can remember how the hell i refit the rear seats

the relays can stick & fail at some point but is an easy fix i hope it didnt happen when you were out driving at night!

i can understand the desire to want to protect the relays & fuses but ive ran these looms in both my rado's for around 10 years & apart from 1 relay failing ive never had any issues - these were both the version without the OE connectors as well, so just well taped up spade connectors by sheer coincidence i was fitting my new loom yesterday but didnt quite finish as i was charging the battery im pretty sure i have managed to route it so that i can attach the relays to the side of the washer bottle which will make taking the battery out easier & also put them in a position where water shouldnt get to them i will get some pictures when it has stopped raining

good to see you still around dave 🙂

just go gentle m8 i managed to do mine without getting fuel in my mouth lol

siphon is simple m8 from the filler cap, literally shove a hose pipe down there & suck

yeah that all makes sense - i just wondered as i always let all me cars warm up on idle for a good few minutes before i drive off but then i also always go the long way on short journeys to give them a run

poor throttle response could well be a gunked up throttle cable - how does the go pedal feel under foot? is it very stiff in both directions? once you have emptied the tank, filled with fresh & got it running again you can manually move the throttle from under the bonnet - this should give you a feel for where the lack of response is the gear selector on top of the gear box can become very stiff & sticky when sat for that long - get it sprayed well with wd40, leave to soak & then start manipulating the gear selector itself it took a good half hour at least of wriggling on my 16v to get the selector moving freely again

any idea why people say that dox? ive never understood it tbh

my 16v refused to run on the old fuel but after draining the tank, filling with fresh 99ron, fully charged battery & a can of easy start sprayed around she fired up after a few turns it is worth whipping your spark plugs out to check for their condition also have a spray of wd40 on & around the alternator belts etc as long as your length of hose is long enough & the container you are emptying is lower than the fuel tank it is easy to siphon as for idle adjustment, AFIK there is a small idle screw you can play with but it is very sensitive so very small adjustments when you do

hmmm how much old fuel was in there? it would have been preferable to drain the old stuff first 92 is an early i think so shouldnt have an anti-siphon filler so should be easy to get the majority out

what year is it? my 16v is a '90 & i was able to siphon the old fuel out using just a length of garden hose did you empty the old fuel out before putting the 6 litres in? a can of easy start helped to get my 16v back to life after it was sat for a while - these cars dont like to be sat still for extended periods

as cressa said - you want to be checking the fuse board under the drivers side dash to begin with AFIK the only fuse under the bonnet is for the rad fans
