supercharged - can you tell me where the abs cpu is pls? thanks [sorry for thread highjack lol]

very interested in this as i have the same kind of issue with my rev in my vr6 too :shrug: it looks like its doin a funky dance sometimes lol

about 6 odd yrs ago i owned an alpine white 1.8 16v with the reg in the post title & i wondered if any fellow on here may now own her? i did see her in knowle, solihull about 6 months after my car dealer friend brought her [very sad day lol] very subtle little kamei skirt body kit on, which i cant find made anymore :( anyone?

I think many of us here share ur thoughts regarding the passion we feel for our beloved rados I know i plan on never selling my VR, I couldn't put myself thru the heartache I experienced when I had to sell my White valver....even now that i have my VR I wish I'd kept the 1.8 lol

Thanks people another question tho as struggling big time there is a bracket which gies thru the slam panel & onto the top of the left side of the rad, as u look at it, how does this come off cause I can't free the rad from the slam panel? :(

Nice thank you kindly :) it was drivin me mad cause u don't want your engine on the floor lol

Can anyone tell me if the 4 17mm bolts holding the bumper on are the ones which seem to go through rubber engine mounts pls? I'm tryin 2 change my vr6 radiator & can't get the damn bumper off cause I don't know if the engine will move if I undo said bolts :(

T.I.D.Y!!!!! thats the next oil change prep'd & ready for...order done :clap:

it is very similar with the VR, as the bently doesnt cover the UK ABV 2.9 lump i know i personally do as you mention - ie use a bently for all the main stuff & then try to get a book which specifically covers the engine :) i find the bently manual a great reference & a big help when trying to get a job sorted in my mind before carrying it out :clap:

if it aint what it says in the tin then surely you could give them the 'sale of goods act....blah blah.....not supplied product paid for....not fit for purpose' hardball lines

im currently running 195/50/15 on the front & 205/50/15 on the rear & all is fine, she was mot'd like it too in fact, & pls correct me if im wrong but i believe that up until the final face lift model the rado's were fitted with 195/50/15s all round :) on the ABS front, from what i can gather the sensors pick up the signal or whatever from a circular disc with lots of holes in the region behind the brake disc....thus not wheel dependant if you get me hope that hleps lol

Interparcel.com shipped me 4 speedlines with tires from somerset to by birmingham for £28 +vat Worth a try maybe ;)

I understand your point & completely agree should the circumstances have been different. However, in this situation the guy is a friend of my brother in laws & his intentions were completely genuine :)

without mentioning names....it was the tall slim bloke :) his beemer is a white supercharged m3 & it did look evil lol

now this doesnt happen every day..... during lunch at my sisters yesterday my brother in law called me out as someone wanted to look at my rado i took my keys outside to find a 5th gear presenter admiring my baby & saying he has always loved corrados & especially the VR6 i thought it only right to take him for a quick grin inducing launch down the nearby country lanes, throughout which the praise continued.....wow the sound is awesome....have the back seats ever had anyone sit in their leather.....god damn it she pulls doesnt she.....to quote just a few :norty: needless to say much car talk continued, including that of his 550bhp bmw & 993 project....but it always came back to my rado lol all ended with him saying thank you for taking him out for a run & thanks for flooring it :clap: :clap: oh & left me with a very big smile once again long live the corrado!! :luvlove:

I have just had a set of 4 speedlines collected & delivered next day thru interparcel.com, giv em a try :)

A search on here will show that a kind forum member sells the metal type nice & cheap....& the 1 I brought works very well ;)

I finally got round to adjusting mine yesterday, having had them on a few months, will post pics later :)

Excellent, I will have to try 1 of these :)

My old boss had B16 TOY on his gt3,looked proper tidy & is the quickest thing I've ever been in :) & recall a civic type r with H15 HOR & t plate had been cut round t outline

If you do a search on here for vr6 plug removal tool someone sells very nice metal versions....nice & cheap & excellent service when I purchased mine ;)

I have my VR insured with adrain flux, £360 fully comp, & they always try 1 on by giving a higher quote than last yr at renewal time a quick hunt around,beat their offer then ring them 2 get them 2 reduce their price & I renew give em a try & get the VR kept :)

its funny....time & time again i read posts like this on here & its like people have literally taken the thoughts from my mind.....thank you!!! its always nice too when a complete random stranger is staring longingly at your rado whilst saying you are a ''lucky, lucky b4st4rd''....as happend to me the other day

I only use 99 ron fuel, either tesco super or shell v-power (now they have moved from 98 to 99 ron) always fill up £25,mixed journeys always include a blast here & there, and I usually get about 140 ish miles mfa on my 12 mile home journey from work,which consists of all b roads & a short dual carriageway section, varies from 31 to 35 mpg :)

Sounds like the barrel m8, mine has done the same.... Unfortunately the ignition barrel can't be retumbled & thus it's a case of new barrel with keys, iirc cost was about £78 Inc vat from VW
