Give the mechanism a clean and re grease. Have a search for liquid moly grease on eBay (little white tube) and use that. Sounds like the motor is just struggling and eventually one of the sliders will break (passenger side usually). Get to it while you can as leaving it will cause the break, the passenger side to lift up when closing and damage the paint on the roof lid.

Thanks gents. I've tried a few times and as mentioned, the threaded bar just pinged and snapped in half - twice! I've seen the guides with the bearing pullers but after buying a decent couple and cutting a leg in half it doesn't make much sense financially to me! I'll try a generic garage with a decent press tomorrow and see where I get from there.

Hi all, I'm moving house in about 6 weeks and need to get the car back on all fours again. My rear axle is off but I'm struggling to get the new bushes in. I've sheared a threaded bar trying to pull them in, so the correct tool is a must now. VW having just relieved me of over £250 for service items for the Passat want another £102 for the privilege - which is apparently an hours labour. :suprised: has anyone got the tool they would be willing to lend me? I'll obviously pay for delivery to me and back, as well as some beer tokens! Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll pay VW if it comes to it, but I'm a little shocked just how much they want! Cheers all!

I can't remember what the house looks like don't worry. I can picture the car and all my tools and spares in the garage though! lol

Not bought it yet Rob, only viewed it Friday but putting in an offer as soon as the Estate Agents open next. Its actually near Tiverton. Bit further than we were originally looking, but my next job is in Bristol (from April) so close to the M4 and still 'just' within commuting distance. Has a good sized garage too! :dance:

Mine hasn't seen daylight in 14 months! :( Moving house in the next couple of months though so it'll need to at least be back on its wheels to see the back of a flat bed for a trip to its new home! :norty:

:lol: No name for mine, but she'll finally be getting a couple of days of attention. Rear bushes need pressing in as I snapped a metre long threaded bar twice trying to pull them in. Once thats done, I can put the rear bits back on and get her back on the floor. Then onto the front end!

Yeah if you pull the trim away by the driver's side rear light, the pump is housed in a foam box. Can't help you with the wire colours I'm afraid. A multi meter and Bentley manual would help though mate

It usually displays 99.9 if defective or disconnected I think. Don't know why it would have disappeared all together. Is it the same on trip and total (1 & 2)? Its been so long since I used my car I can't remember if its displayed on both! lol.

Worth checking if you're missing a box or two, but there are a few options for later cars so I'd imagine the same for earlier ones too.......... Jetex, powerflow, longlife, or a custom one are all otions. There are quite a few other too so its not the end of the world mate.

The sensor for the outside air temp is connected to the drivers side of lower grill part in the front bumper (Next to the tow eye cover on that side). Chances are its disconnected still mate.

Indeed. Think beige leather was an option as well. I've seen a couple of Blackberrys advertised over the years with them in.

I don't use facebook much either. I am a bit of a FB mong though, and although work has severely hampered my input on the forum for the past year or so, I still check in once or twice a day to see whats occurring! :thumbleft:

There is a toothed clip holding it on so it's difficult to remove. Can be done with a bit of force, just make sure you pull it straight or it can break mate

Doesn't mention the switch, loom, or resistor pack in the description, so worth asking if it's included.......

Hold the bonnet release handle in the open position by using the seatbelt, then check the two catches and you should see if the levers are opening correctly. Adjust and try again.

Aqua (I think) on Borbet A's on the A38 around Ivybridge today at around 1pm. Was trying to wave but you seemed to be having a bit of fun with a CTR FN2! :D

Gear linkage adjustment. Double check you have the circlip in place on the pivot on the gear stick first, but here is a link to a good guide otherwise. (Nice one Kev!) http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?32297-gear-linkage-adjustment&p=415342&viewfull=1#post415342

They are indeed hard to find. I waited around 18 months looking for a decent one going for less than £100. Even the average condition ones were £75+. I got lucky with an ebay purchase thankfully and although it does have one broken tab, I certainly can't complain for what I ended up paying for it the auction. I too use a ratchet with a 1/4 adapter and a posi drive bit. Its the only way without marking or breaking the surround.

Yeah also known as the tailgate damper. It fits through from inside as Si has said, and the collar/nut screws on from the bottom of the boot/outside.

They're not the correct part for ABS fitted Corrado. The correct part is the same as the Passat, which is still available but under a different part number. If you do a search you should find the part number and price as I bought some about 6 months ago. Edit: Part number is V3A0 501 639 - £4.42 each.

The thing is Jim, there are hundreds of other radio stations and every other terrestrial channel offer an online viewing service too. What's the trade off, you have to listen to advertisements.

They clip over and under the strip. You should be able to slide them a bit Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk
