finally ive managed to get a couple of videos, well the gf did the recording from passenger seat unfortunately they are only from an iphone so am unsure of sound quality I will try & upload them to PC today & then post please forgive the cabin squeaks, I really need to remove & refit all the rear trim after fitting the KW's a long time ago

its from rayne automotive - he is in the supplier section

excellent news, thank you for the update. looking forward to seeing the results

cool as a mo fo with a fro flowin :)

I doubt a remap would bring many ponies at all unless you perform some other mod's & as said in the thread the only way to see massive power increases is forced induction you may be a lucky one & have a standard VR that outputs slightly more than the 190bhp book stats but they are rare IIRC the main benefit of having a stealth map on a standard VR is the way the vince can get the bhp & torque curves much smoother than factory, thus creating a slightly better feel underfoot. if you want more power you have to make changes - using myself as an example I got a 10% power increase by installing 263 cams (giving a higher lift than standard cam & thus allowing for an increase in fuel mix to enter the chamber), a BMC air filter (increasing the amount of air getting into the fuel mix & thus creating a bigger bang) & then a remap so as to take advantage of the increases. on my VR that took it up to 209.8 bhp & I can say that it is definitely noticeable under foot :D my gf has a storm & it is quite hard to put into the right words but there is certainly a difference between the two hope that helps m8

thanks for the reminder chugs - i must do the exhaust videos this weeknd

no problem wayne. I thought that if I explained it in full then it would help you understand take your time when fitting the loom. it is not a difficult job but worth routing the cable as best as possible. this looks much easier when you take the front grille out. also, be careful if using cable ties to secure it along the route - don't want them to tight so that the loom rubs on any sharp edges

that really is nice seats look near new GLWS!!

wayne - in all honesty if you DONT put an uprated loom on the car then your shiny new lights & a lens clean will do, well bugger all really. in case you were unaware the issue with the standard headlights is due to the way it is wired by VW through the loom. such that when you click the headlight switch on your dash the voltage travels all the way up the standard loom from the battery to the headlight dash switch & then all the way back down to the light. this itself causes a drop in voltage when the current finally hits the lights, thus causing the dim candle light performance. what an uprated loom does is essentially provide a shorter path for the current from battery to headlight & as such the lights receive a healthy voltage from which they can perform well i have had an uprated loom on my VR for 4+ years & have only had 1 issue which was due to a relay failing in the uprated loom, which i changed & fixed the issue. FYI i have a 3 relay loom which KUR2Y used to provide on here. he used 3 relays for redundancy so as if one fails you still retain side lights, a feature i am unsure is present on a 2 relay loom. i have also installed one on the gf's storm about 2 years ago with no issue & i plan to put one on my valver when it finally gets its MOT & is back on the road (which is hopefully this week) i believe you would only get 'gremlins' from an uprated loom if care is not taken when installing it. for example if it is rubbing on something & could chafe i should also add that with a standard setup, IE factory loom & factory headlight switch, it is possible for the switch to wear out & break (as the plastic rocker fails) or worse there have been cases of the switches shorting due to the heat from the internal bulb & causing a dash fire. (i believe this is what MZpog was referring to) the latter is a reason to buy one of the group buy headlight switches as they have LED's in them rather than a bulb an uprated loom with better bulbs is £ for £ one of the best upgrades you can do ;)

IIRC it is the way they sit in the cluster. i think if you fit an early lense to a late car they sit proud. ive checked vw heritage & they specify 'early' lenses but dont have any 'late' lenses advertised https://www.vwheritage.com/shop/corrado/electrical/lighting-headlights-spotlights/ im pretty sure Anna at heritage would have listed them as universal if they were as she looks at items very closely when investigating if heritage can supply them or not a quick call to them could clarify

hello there - dont worry about asking questions, at least you had a good search prior ive not looked into sourcing some but i thought there were slight differences in the fog lenses between early & late models

it certainly is Ian!! i run those on my VR & they are superb :D

good work wayne. helpful pics too m8 & thank you for the tip above, i will give that a go with my passenger mirror as the heat works but slowly

cool will look forward to your report the gf's passenger side has never worked

have you tried engaging gear from under the hood? reason i ask is that before i sold my valver, which i now have brought back, it was standing in neutral for some time. i too then had an issue in selecting gear. my friend who was a VW mechanic showed me the gear selector on top of the gear box, applied lots of WD40 & let soak in, then as i held the clutch down he manually manipulated the selector. half hour of working it about & i had a nice gear change again

done

hi Andi & Jim FYI my post earlier this week having tried to use panjo or they thought they had sorted it i tried to use it to buy & pay for an ABS ecu earlier this week & gave up the below was my post at the time..... "Oh my word this panjo cr4p is absoluteley awful!! First time trying to use it & never again 30 minutes trying to send a payment WTF!? Panjo says im outside of US & errors on post code sometimes it lets me through to payment but then says my paypal account doesnt have enough funds, despite it being linked to my bank account then when i try to pay by card the page initially loads a payment screen with option for card info but then switches to a 'create paypal account' page stonejag - ive PM'd you & im sorry but i cant get the payment to go through. i shall await your PM with info"

k will do

interesting - mine is the drivers side i had read somewhere that someone had found it to be an issue with the connections into the window controller box IIRC the box is behind the rear passenger drivers side door card (which would correspond to where i can hear mine clicking) said person removed, cleaned & reseated the connections to the controller & issue was fixed if i can find a gap on a weekend when im not booked to work on the house it is a job on my list

ha ha i like it wayne!! normally i just give one of these... ;)

indeed! with my VR being lowered when these fancy chelsea tractors & their HID's are behind me they end up blinding me in all 3 mirrors

ha ha ha they are addictive arent they lol

ahhh poop!

no m8 they are just normal H4 bulbs think they are filled with xenon gas i do know that since fitting them i often get flashed by others coming towards me at night as if i was on full beam. sometimes i give them a taste of what full beam is if they are overzealous lol for example http://www.mecatechnic.com/COR_UA17014_GB_2-ring-xenon-ultima-h4-bulbs-vw-corrado.htm
