As per the title How many of you guys have used RainX or a similar product on their Corrado's? My girlfriend was nice enough to pick me up a Autoglym Lifeshine pack and one of the things in it was glass protector, the stuff is amazing. I've not yet done a Audi TT/Lupo GTI conversion on my wiper arms, so for the past year they've been shocking, smearing, dragging water from the side back over the window just to block my view even more, the usual complaints, so I used this stuff, but also filed down the stops on the original wiper arms and bent the arm a little to add more pressure, needless to say I won't be doing the conversion any time soon, they work spot on. Anyone else used simliar

oh I, just took a look. That's brilliant, cheers for the info man, hopefully weather permitting I'll get the door card off again tomorrow :)

I noticed that bit when I had the door card off but I didn't take any of the tape of it, did you manager to sort it in the end then?

any electrical gurus out there? I really need some advice with this ever since getting my VR, the central locking has never functioned proper on the drivers door but perfect on the passengers side. example being, if I put my windows down and then lock the door on the passengers side and hold the key, I get full closure including the sunroof, if I do it on the drivers side it will sometimes lock the doors but more than likely only lock itself and never has it activated the full closure. This is where it gets a bit weird, if I unlock the passengers door, the locking does work on the drivers side. so I decided to take the door card off, unplug the loom and short it out manually to see if it was the micro switch. At first nothing happened, then I unlocked the passengers side and tried it... it locks, but won't unlock, then I tried shorting the other wires and it got to the point where it would lock when I short it, but the second I removed the wire of one of the pins it would unlock? this is getting really old, I have to open the passengers door, then walk around and get in my side, then have to always lock the door on the passengers side, so any help would be great

mate, that's a horrible sight to see. It's a VR, how do I go about finding it, it did it one night so I went up to see a mate who's a mechanic, they both had a look around but it had stopped by then so it made it hard to find it. It seems like it comes from the fuel rail to me, or near the airbox
-
Anyone tell me what might be causing this because it's starting to alarm me Getting quite a strongish smell of fuel in the cabin, not all the time though, just if I give it a rev but it can be quite strong. Now, this only seems to happen when the engines up to temp but it might be down to the cooling fan blowing the smell when it's temp is up. I did a search and I noticed someone had something similar, and someone had suggested it might be the fuel line going to the fuel rail. any insight on this would be great, like I said it's not all the time (or is only noticeable when the cooling fan is on), but with the heat we've been having it's got me a bit on edge

I love the look of the C and the character, but I also love peoples reactions when they see them, "don't see many of them anymore"... or "I remembers these.. scirocco isn't it?" Haha But its nice having a car that you barely see about and love to see another one on the road Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

Should I bother replacing my now broken lambda? My VR has had its cat removed, so I asked my mechanic if he'd do the job and he's saying it's pointless because of the cat, or lack off it Any guru's on here got any words of wisdom on this? Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

petemcr replied to Macdaddy's topic in Event Announcements & Discussion
Really wanted to come to this today but I had some stuff to sort out and the weather put me off a bit, will you guys be doing another meet soon? I don't know if you guys already know but there is a VAG meet on the last sunday of every month called Manc Union in Trafford, so far I've only ever seen one more Corrado turn up so I don't know if you guys know about it, but it would be nice to have some more Rado's there so I'm not the only one representing VW's biggest sales flop :D It's on tonight at 8 if anyone fancys it -

Did you sell the air filter? Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2 -
When I was looking around I read somewhere that mk3 golf moonroofs can fit but something like the glass shape is different. Have you checked eBay for anyone breaking a passat? That's where I found mine Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

hi mate, have you still got the green induction kit and the de badged grill for sale? if so i'll be willing to take them off your hands cheers -
How did you get it to fit, I managed to get hold of some MK4 heater controls to see the difference, turns my blower on when I plug them in but the pull cables to adjust the heater box won't fit
