Is the corrado steering rack the only one that will work for a corrado, will a passat VR6 1992 rack work? anything like that? and how do I get it out cause its loged up in there.
-
so will the 84 GTI bolt work? removing is easy, cause I think its loose otherwise I will follow stevemac's instructions.
-
you see thats when you do it yourself, like me cost me 130 US plus fixing the machine shops computer.
-
my car was 2450 US and it had 121000 miles on it, since then I have done about 9000 US in repairs. PS I AM IN COLLEGE so this is messing me up.

will a A1 84 GTI crank bolt work? they said something about ball and screw?
-
why do we deal with them..... WE LOOOOOOOOOVVVVEEEE THESE CARS!!!!!! handle like new cars and are sexy beasts with plenty of character.
-
arent there 3 bolts/ screws? just use 2 of them? you dont need it it just prevents stuff from hitting the fan, the neato foam in your engine compartment.

tensioner is tight, alternator has some play in it, used to make a click click click click sound all the time, maybe a bearing just fried itself, tried shaking it, very little rattle though nothing major, also replacing the relay roller for the tensioner. I just want to make sure that its not the charger cause it sounds like pieces of metal in something. oh...... you are all right its not the charger cause MFA reads 220, thank you all for your help on this.
-
what car and model would have one? and why?
-
sweet, thanks
-
how about knocking near it, intermitent at high revs, or is that my alternator bearing.
-
How do I remove crank bolt without pulling engine?
-
How can I tell whether I fried something in my charger without removing it. I am removing it tonight becasue I am replacing my water pump but is there something that just gives it away. there are no holes in the charger.
-
if your crank bolt is loose with the car have no power because of the engine not spinning the alternator and/or charger?
-
supercharged who makes a proper oil filter, I have a WIX one right now the stealer told me to get one being that they cant order them.
-
is the idler pulley on e G60 supposed to spin a lot freely? if it doesnt is it fried and will it sound like a jet engine?
-
also is it true that if my alternator blew that my car would idle really low, have really low HP, the little red battery light would be on 24/7, the car wouldnt rev really, and make a clankety clank noise in the general vicinity of? I just want to make sure because I took the alternator and removed the + cable and turned the car on, idles really low, reconnected the cable and it idles at the same point. 500 rpms? sound about right?
-
exactly thank you ETKA. =-) HAR HAR I WIN! its ok I bought one off of some guy from portland, oregon.
-
I have AC got to take off the little belt, sorry stevemac its just the alternator not the water pump. cheers
-
Can I take the alternator from another car apart and take the generator and bearings? or do I have to buy a full alternator, the only part on the alternator that has to do with the mounting is the case, once you remoce the case you can just replace the actual alternator, right? or am I talking OMA
-
phatVR6 do you have pictures of your car? are you going to turbo and how much did that cost?
-
ALSO if there is no car that this will work for where is the cheapest I can get one? I looked on E-bay, nothing. cheapest I found was 192 US core included.
-
ok I have a G60 with a 90 amp alternator and its fried found out this is whats causing all of my problems, no power etc. anyway what alternator will work for this car? will one from a golf 8v work? or a jetta 8v or a passat 16v, could I technically use one from a VR6 and have it produce 120 amps instead of 90? there is a passat GLX at the local scrappy and I was thinking about taking its alternator please reply quickly the thing is fried beyond belief. I literally have nooooo power. thanks guys

ECU?
-
well I think you can easily custom make a turbo kit for it, take a VR6 kit and make a different exhaust header change the pipes around, and there you go, blamo wamo W8 turbo. all in theory though it would take lots of money and time. ECU just needs a remap and air-flow needs resistor.
