I know a few guys that are members and help with the show, I'll see what I can dig up for you.

I used to keep records for about 6 months, I haven't sold one for at least a year so can't help I'm afraid.

Ok no worries. Cheers.

Thought It'd be worth an ask though.

:)

Not a problem mate.

Is it worth posting up on edition38? They owned it for a short while before raffling it off.

Double post...

Want it ASAP cause the Toad alarm unlocks the car remotely, but I still have to unlock the bloody drivers door with the key haha

If the door rods are definitely right handed (should be part numbers 535 837 184 A + 357 837 084) , I'll take them, and that white clip for door handle too please.

I'll message you now.

Previous owners of polished gear surrounds? For what reason?

Its a secret hobby of mine

Nah, just kidding. As above... I'm trying to trace history of my car and if they where a forum member, I might be able to get in touch with them?

I take it you dont still have records of the ones you sold do you?

Sticky? :geek:

Found it, cheers.

thegolfman, I've just put up a few things on ebay including an almost immaculate VR6 steering wheel - 99p no reserve

I'll get searching now, Thanks mate.

Very tempting...

If this doesn't sell by the end of the month, I'll be in touch!

Actually, not to worry.

As in the stickie in the GB section states,if 30 people put their name down,usually 12 drop out !

So if Jim spends his time sorting this out,you put your name down,IMHO a non returnable deposit should be put down !

Just my 2p

Sounds fair.

You don't get a modern feeling rock solid pedal by moving to the Teves system. Don't get me wrong it feels OK but it's not like a modern system. You need to fit a larger master cylinder for the solid feel but then you'd be loosing brake power which means you'd need to fit a bigger sevo which is what they do in modern cars for the stronger brakes.

 

Again, don't get me wrong, The Teves 20 system (having had it for a year and 7k) is so much better than the standard system under heavy breaking but it's not a modern feeling pedal by any stretch of the imagination, it is still quite long in the travel and a bit soft in the feel. But then ultimately, Teves 20 with 288 calipers is what came standard on late mk3 golf's so that's the year of brake feel you get. Teves 20 abs pumps are self bleeding to a point, you get 90% out with normal bleeding and given a bit of time, the rest of the air is worked out via some sort of magic and the pedal firms up a bit more.

 

If you have access to the kit and the inclination to fit it, I whole heartedly recommend it but don't do it under the pretense that it's a modern system.

 

If you don't have the kit or want to fit it, a vacuum bleed of the brakes can work wonders for the feel! I know Sean would have bleed them before selling to you and I don't doubt his ability at all but the brakes can be a bit of a pig to get 100% free of air.

 

Where are you anyway? You're more than welcome to give mine a drive at a meet or whatever?

Thanks for the info. As a bit of background, I have built two MK2 VR's, and both were a pig to bleed up and get a decent pedal on and that was without bleeding an ABS pump (although I used a terrible pressure type pump and gave up resorting to the old UP-DOWN-UP-DOWN!).

I know you'll never get a rock solid feeling pedal like the newer cars - I probably worded that wrong, but thought that it might be a bit better using the more modern system. Maybe it might be because I've spent a few years away from older VW's it wasn't quite what I expected, or maybe these just need going over again to remove some of the spongeyness?

The car does have a fully working ABS system, and 288's up front.

I'm in Northampton, so not too far depending on where you are. (Updated my profile to show this too.) Maybe rolling road at Stealth later this year if it goes ahead, or E38 if your into that kind of thing :)

Ahh what? Bugger.

I was waiting on if you could confirm if it was the correct colour. I would have had it!

Yes!

The reason I ask is I am trying to trace previous owners. How many did you sell?

Is there no interchangeable parts from other vehicles like the Polo? And can Mk3 Bowden cables be used?

Obviously sort Drakelin first if you only have one drivers side as its his thread. If you've got two though, great!

I count 10 heads so far. Look at possible dates and then maybe post on the Corrado page on Facebook too?

Another thread back from the dead...

I've got an identical one in my car. Did you make it Dave?

Dont fancy selling it? And use the funds to buy an aftermarket? Mine is a little worse for wear

Count me in. Plus my friend in his B8 A4 - Even though it isn't a C, he will come along anyway and more than likely want to put his on too.

And just to confirm, is it Aqua Blue, or Aqua Blue Pearl?

Cheers

The reason I posted, is I fancy a Teves 20 system in mine with the aim of getting a rock solid pedal.

Might look for a local mk3 breaking.

Bugger, missed this.

Any chance of another sometime this year?
