it didn't meet the reserve then I see

I have those up front in the VR too, very nice match them with some 693.9i's in the rear & the clarity & output is awesome ;)

same as the late ones but the scroll up the other direction - IE scrolls down to increase heat

again IIRC they are on the inside of the panel if you put the panel n tilt & then look from inside I think there are 2 on each side, 1 near front & 1 near back this image may help a little as it shows the torx screw http://s44.photobucket.com/user/michaelmcnair/media/sunroof.jpg.html

this link is for a full guide on removing a headliner (just in case you need it) http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5598465-Passat-Moonroof-Swap-amp-Headliner-Removal-DIY-Tutorial

hi m8 IIRC you can remove just the metal sunroof panel by putting the roof into tilt & then there are 2 screws on either side holding the panel on. I don't believe you need to remove the headliner to take off the metal panel

I wonder if the guy who runs http://www.rayneautomotive.co.uk can help I recall seeing heated seat looms for golf's on there & having checked today the golf loom page states 'You will not need any additional relays for this item' http://www.rayneautomotive.co.uk/golf/41-vw-golf-mk4-heated-seat-wiring-loomharness-plug-and-play.html?search_query=heated+seat&results=2&cate= the home page also mentions multi packs for relays are available im off to find his supplier thread on here & drop him a PM EDIT: PM sent to james of rayne automotive

I too get the occasional buzz from the relay on my drivers side typically it has been quiet all summer & now it is getting colder it has tripped both yesterday & today I have previously tried swapping the drivers & passenger relay over (to see if one was faulty) but the issue persisted I have also changed the switch in the dash to no avail plus I have checked the wiring into the relay controller box is tight/secure - all ok thus I am wondering if it actually is an intermittently faulty relay or if there is a break in the loom wiring feeding its supply the latter I am doubtful of though as I would expect the relay to just not work if there was an issue with the power to it, rather than buzz as if it is flicking between on & off positions however, due to the issue remaining irrespective of which relay it is using I am unsure it is a relay at fault

yes m8 the sunroof has 4 drains - 2 front & 2 rear if you open the sunroof on full slide they are visible in each corner - if you have access to an air line then just bow them out & then pour a little water into each & watch the respective corner to make sure they drain ok FYI the seal around the sunroof metal top is only really to stem the water flow - water that passes it by design goes into the channel in the sunroof cartridge & then out via the 4 drains mentioned as per my pervious post my issue was caused by someone not refitting the thin plastic cover which sits over the foliage & attaches (well rests on) to the bottom of the windscreen & the bulk head

& a copy of the OP's reply to my post.... Well, had a good look this morning around the scuttle area. The cover that goes over the blower box wasn't fitted under the seal on the ridge bit at all! After a bit of tricky working I got things back as they should and I'm guessing water must have been running straight into that blower box? I may have cracked a bit of the cover trying to get the rusted clips off, so might need to replace later. The crack is on the left hand side and should be ok till I get another one sourced. So, with all that said and done, the fact that it's not coolant been coming into the cockpit and that my hot air isn't working, does that imply that someone has previously bypassed the matrix or may there be another reason why I have no hot air? Thanks and hope all that made sense! Oh and as far as the sunroof working goes - I haven't tried it yet. Will wait a bit just in case something is amiss. Don't fancy the winter here and having to fuss with that!

hi Dr copy of one of my posts from last week on the same subject.... also - again from experience - check the thin plastic square ish shaped housing that covers your foliage cover its is on the passenger side just below the wind screen I had an issue where water was getting into the passenger footwell due to the above housing cover not being refitted correctly & was basically allowing the water to run straight into the open mesh of the foliage cover I would also recommend lifting the passenger carpet up & removing the hard backed liner underneath it. the liner has a cushioning material on it which acts like a sponge. I didn't realise quite how much water it held until I removed it & started to dry it off from...http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?92848-Wet-passenger-footwell/page3 hope that helps

oh dear, I feel your pain Jim :( not once but twice, I can only imagine your heart sank! I have a set of standard VR cams which were removed around 150k when I had my stealth head rebuild done. I was planning to make some book ends or something with them but if you need them pls let me know - though they are very heavy indeed as you know I know it is nothing to do with them but have you tried calling vince to ask if he could shed light on what is going wrong? 5 mins with him & all could be explained

a man with a plan - tidy :D

ha ha indeed I imagine it was & true it is a definite improvement if you weren't the other end of the country I would offer you a loan of one of mine when you needed a rado fix lol

your pain is acknowledged Wullie

interesting I had never heard of a G60 Jet - thanks to google I now do http://www.corradog60.com/page/vw-corrado-g60-jet I like the sound of the no sunroof & manual windows etc though I was never a fan of the Estoril's - my mom had them on her 2.0 rado & I just didn't like them

top tip Jamie thanks :D

ha ha ha & a dash dragging behind him with all the screws etc from it jangling

excellent newsd - thank you Karmannski for persevering

PMSL id add the chains would have the tensioners dangling from them too ;)

ha ha ha that's a cracker Mic lol :D

ahhh, actually inside of the metal runner channel is a bit sketchy in terms of paint but the outer of then is body colour the VIN's on all 3 of our rado's (soon to be 2 boo hoo) are that way Jim

yup, in fact I would say they are nearly there too makes me stupidly happy ive got a pair of genuine hella fog lenses in a box ready to fit to the VR BUT also makes me think to keep them & sell them in a few years as I could probably buy another rado with the proceeds lol I am seriously considering removing the roof trims off the VR, cutting away the decomposing rubber (which from what I can tell has no actual function unless you fit a roof rack), sanding & painting the trim & then refit with car body tape after cleaning the channel after all, it is simply a gutter channel under the roof trim & said trims are only there for roof racks I have also thought about how the look would be if the roof trims were removed & the channel cleaned & polished, leaving a shiny gutter

indeed it is nuts! if for example you managed to pick up a nice rado for 4K & then these roof strips for 600 - the maths is such that the roof rails were 15% of total cost of car.....WTF!!
