    Wow Keyo How on earth did you find out about those gearbox parts i would have thought those parts would have been confined to history and anything available today will have used, abused and generally fit for scrap How did you even get through the door at gemini !! Cant wait for the build Who is doing the build for you?

    if i can remember these things pop and bang when you come of the pedal (clue is in the name) and you can be heard several streets away before you arrive i always remember them being attached to vauxhall novas for some reason

    Looks a very good example there someone has put a lot of effort in that one for sure i am not a great lover of the bbs splits to be honest in general - to much effort to clean and maintain Dubshed is the biggest VAG show here with plenty of cars from all over the island turning up (no show last year and i doubt one this year also with the covid nightmare) Plenty of trailer queens also with some owners with deep pockets

    i had a look at one several weeks ago and completely agree on the alloys - look a bit naff to be honest everyone is just waiting on the R as far as i can see cant help but think the gti will be in its shadow for the foreseeable future

    why ?? for not that much more you would be able to buy a running driving car at least?? maybe he or she has seen it in the flesh and know its a decent car

    at a guess to create some type of membrane - the entire underside of your car to help keep the dreaded salt at bay??

    Been looking at that car on ebay myself - curious to see what it goes for You will need to see that car in the flesh before bidding as it could be an absolute rot box as you say keyo No idea of mileage , early vr6 seats also

    thanks starting to collect parts for a future project

    The seller is in the motor trade and had it for his own car that he had and its german !! Not very often you get anything corrado related for decent money these days!!

    got this sorted checked the usual and found a loose jubilee clip on the intercooler pipework - now a nice even idle A rare easy fix for a corrado
  22. ger040
    pity the corrado vr6 is model specific for radiators - have not seen a top manufactured one (eg Hella) for long time new Plenty for the golf and even t4 van

    i had trouble bleeding the brakes on my car i have an ezi bleed and struggled with it 

    in the end i borrowed a professional kit which was more successful

    make sure the level in the reservoir does not go below the min 

    my problem was as i opened the nipple it was drawing air through the nipple thread giving the impression of air in the system

    My brake pedal was quite spongy after bleeding but a few days driving the pedal firmed back up again

    not long after i bled my brakes though my brake pedal suddenly started dropping to the floor - not good while driving the thing first i replaced the slave cylinder which did not cure it as it turned out to be the master cylinder that was at fault
