seanl82 replied to Stonejag's topic in Parts for Sale
Very tempting indeed. I won't commit yet, but I'm a strong possible on a GB. -
We've had it all! Lemon and sugar, jam, honey, Nutella........and there was none left for the kids after I finished!!! Lol
-
Haha Chris, one summer having a play, then pulling it all back out again! :lol: Stop stalling Matt, get that lump back in and get it back on the road!
-
That's a great saving, almost a third off the cheapest UK price, get amongst it you lot, just gutted I missed out on this having bought mine a month ago!
-
Not heard of anyone running them past or present. Similar price to the KW V1s, which I think is what most seem to be pushed toward with Corrados.
-
It's a Topran one from Heritage which is why it's so much cheaper than the dealership.

70 litre in the tank. I get around 350 miles out of the tank mixed driving. Think it's mid 20s mpg calculated

Yeah probably a cylinder problem. Your holding the clutch down but it's loosing hydraulic pressure until the next pump, so slave change is quickest and easiest (read cheapest) place to start. Brakes parts are probably £150 ish, so that's 2-3 hours labour at £50-75 per hour which is maybe a little pricey, but not over the top I suppose.

Merc G-wagon?

Ah yeah I know the ones. Get a mallet on the bottom. They have a little cut out that should clip onto the bottom of the beam. Maybe try to bend it out a little to get a good contact. I had mine off and stone chipped them when I changed the rear hoses. Number 17 on the link http://www.vagcat.com/epc/cat/vw/COR/1995/76/54/845989/

Here you go Jamie. They can be a pain in the arse to tighten the union down onto, so I took mine back off as I couldn't get the first turn of the thread on. I just crimped it down enough to get a couple of turns on, then it held tight further down the thread. http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=79984&p=1051633&viewfull=1#post1051633

Yummmmmm, fish and chips. :thumbleft:

Have a look on Demon Tweeks. There are 2 on there - H&R, and KW iirc. The H&R ones are generally well recommended. Edit: Eibach too. Not sure if they are available separately though. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/anti-roll-bars/car/volkswagen/corrado-vr6/1993/2-9

Looked pretty tidy before accident damage, even with the high mileage. Shame really. I can't Michael, I've already got one in there and I need to get rid of that before I go away in April.

Corroletta?! Corrado/Golf/Jetta hybrid not as bad as it sounds!

As above, looks like its been done well and the rear end looks ok, but I wouldn't want one if it was sold. -
Ah fair enough, no worries!
-
Prefer the red. Thats a ridiculous amount of stretch though, and I think you're asking for trouble.
-
Give your maf a clean with electrical contact cleaner too. I had exact same symptoms on my mk3 Golf but at 3k rpm and this was the cause. The contact cleaner fixed the problem. :thumbleft:
-
Sorry, it's matt lacquer you'll want for factory finish. :bonk:
-
She'd kill me if I got another! Very tempting though!

I have an airbox you can have for nothing mate, but the bottom part has had half on one side cut out to give it the induction roar. - again, previous owner being a cowboy. I'm not a fan of cone filters for the reason you are seeing, they really need to be boxed in and cold air fed due to heat soak. BMC CDA is the only filter proven to give both gains and noise, and pop up on ebay from time to time for £70 - £110.

It was me that had the leather on the bolster replaced, then coloured the whole interior. The only problem with it, is finding a hide with the same texture, which is very difficult. Thats the only thing noticeable on mine. I think yours is easily repairable though. Look on the furniture clinic website. Apart from the small hole, it looks like its only the paint on your leather that has degraded and that is easily repairable. A small repair patch underneath the hole, then a light bit of leather filler on top would not be noticeable at all. If you push a bit of filler up from the bottom where the bits around the stitching have corroded, I think that'll fix it nicely. The paint is then scrubbed off from the top, and you spray the new paint on then seal it with the lacquer. I sent them my headrest to colour match, and its perfect. If you use a satin lacquer on top, there's no way you would notice the repair on yours. I think the specialist was trying to drum up a bit of business tbh.
