Those figures are great for a brand new or recon engine, but for a well worn in VR 165 - 185 psi will probably be as good as you're likely to see Rob. These figures are also within recommended tolerances.
-
Pete, do you have the info that Vince sent you still by any chance? I've got an error code of implausible signal with my VSS. My speedo works fine, but my spoiler doesn't go up automatically despite changing the control module and checking stereo wiring. Cheers mate.
-
Cool beans panjo.
-
If readings are reasonable anyway, it shouldn't make a great deal of difference Rob. I forgot to warm mine up before I tested earlier in the year, yet my readings were all still within tolerance without being great. If yours are borderline, it may be worth getting it warmed up if you can for peace of mind on that front mate. Don't forget it needs to be cranked with WOT too bud.

Export/Import duty and shipping containers not required from the Midlands to Somerset though
-
On another note, did you get my message regarding Vagcom in the help section, or have you managed to get it all sorted with a mate you mentioned?
-
No more common than any other tbh. Obviously with a car of this age its possible, but I wouldn't be overly concerned. See how it fares with a new gasket and go from there I suppose mate.
-
Yeah I'd recommend VWS as well Rog. Good quality stuff and decent prices. I've got a leak there too. Don't mean to alarm you, but mine is because the three bolts have been cross threaded where they're a pain to get to being inside the bell housing. Just be aware of them is all mate. Oh and make sure you get the rubber gasket as opposed to the paper one Rog. From Chassis number..............whatever it is. Paper gasket is for the earlier VR's.
-
Yeah the front cross member is pretty strong too tbh. I wouldn't do it personally as obviously you have weight on the engine and front end on top of the rest too. I'm sure it'd be fine though if you prefer.
-
You can get 5 litres of Quantum Silver 10w40 from VW for around £18 anyway Rog. I always found it cheaper than most oils at Halfords even with trade discount mate. I always got between 10% and 20% (depending who was on the parts desk) forces discount at VW on top, and you may be able to blag some discount yourself.
-
Thanks for letting me know mate. Monkey, can you give me a description of what the wings are like too please. Cheers.
-
Thanks mate. Gotta be a good sign if he's busy for the next three weeks. :thumbleft:
-
Be interested if you manage to find a recommended panel beater nearby Daren. I'm sure someone thats pretty competent can knock a small ding like that out mate.
-
Thanks for reply bud. I'll probably have the bonnet and dependant on whether the wings are reasonable (no need to be mint but decent will do), and if Dox doesn't want them obviously. Would you be willing to hold onto them until 15th December? I'm in Bristol that weekend and have a family Xmas meal in Cheddar on Sunday 15th, so if that would be ok I could pick them up then? Thanks mate, Sean.

What the 'ell is a spigot ring and is this the right thing I need? :-)
seanl82 replied to Veearrhsix's topic in Exterior
No, a spigot ring is a plastic insert that fits inbetween your hub and the wheel itself. VWs have a centre bore of 57.1 mm, and the spigot will fill the gap if the centre bore is bigger on the wheel, thus centralising it so it sits correctly and reduces the risk of the wheel being slightly offset. I reckon any cheap centre cap of the same diameter as the BBS one will have that retaining ring your after. That ring just helps push the clips out so the cap doesn't fall out with vibrations or from a slight knock. -
Wow, you got skillz! Thats a fantastic turnaround well done! Unsure on side repeater position though......
-
Holy Frig, has everyone been on the mulled Vino early this year or something. Prices seem to have shot right up. I may stick mine up for a cheeky 5k, Never know maybe someone will be treating themselves to an early Xmas present.
-
Have a look on ClubGTI or GolfGTI.co.uk, may be more likely that someone will know or have the info on there mate. Was this even sold in the UK? Can't say I've ever seen one tbh, although have heard of them at some point in the past.
-
Dunno if this is any good to you mate. http://wiki.the-corrado.net/02a_manual_gearbox_general_information_ratios_codes_etc.html
-
Cracking buy that mate, congrats. I was really tempted tbh for the price it was advertised for and I love the Storm Grey Colour, but the missus would have gone absolutely mental. :lol::hitler:
-
Overpriced imo. For a car with a duff HG, 'a few scabs here and there', over 160k, and no tax, I don't care if its not been 'Chaved up' , its still strong money for a Corrado as they are at the moment. Does my head in with such poor grammar when advertising a car for sale too, especially when apparently advertising on someone else's behalf.

These Bulbs http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2X-1156-BA15S-P21W-120-LED-3528-SMD-White-Car-Turn-Signal-Tail-Light-Bulb-Lamp-/330881136838?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4d0a0d78c6 To be used in conjunction with these Resistors http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360449150191?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Don't think you really need to use ones with so many LEDs in them, but I'm sure the more the better. You'll probably be able to find slightly cheaper too if you get ones from Chinese sellers.
-
Have you got the LED bulbs yet James? I'm not sure what colour to use for the indicators, as the only thread with links are for normal white rather than amber ones. Harder to find the amber ones too.
-
Try wriggling the ignition key when it doesn't start. Its a common problem and you can bypass the switch itself to be sure. If you have an aftermarket immobiliser, that could be another possible cause.
-
Google Corrado double din and look on images. It can be done with a bit of fettling mate.
