I know I have this engine listed on my breaking thread but I don't expect many people would go there looking for one of these... It was a 180 engine from 1999 1.8T 8L A3 sport which I looked after for the owner, it's not done huge miles around 120K and has been dry stored for years. £250 collected. I also have both manifolds for it, I have two uncraked exhaust units... I'd do the lot for £400 ONO. Collection only from LD3 0BQ.

Breaking 1989 LHD Corrado G60, Low Milage.
K Simmonds replied to K Simmonds's topic in Cars for Breaking
I'd like £100 for the Rad complete with cowls and the top cover which still has the original factory sticker on it... The car has OE coolant in it so the rad will clean inside. As mentioned the car has only done 116K Kilometer and I'm a mechanic and the first UK owner and I looked after that car extreamly well, for a while it was the top car in my collection... Then I got sucked into the world of hyper fast 380BHP S2's/RS2's so the Corrado hasn't been driven for years, it has been started occasionly to keep everything moving properly. You are welcone to a bumper or two, one of them is mint, the other is very good but requires prep and painting to look nice, I'd do you a bit of a deal on the pair to get them gone... Were about's are you? I don't do sending bumpers, had to many mishap's in the past so they are collection only. Despite duffing the front end through a hedge the slam panel and front bumper didn't get damaged, though both wings, bonnet and offside door and sill got mangeled. -

Breaking 1989 LHD Corrado G60, Low Milage.
K Simmonds replied to K Simmonds's topic in Cars for Breaking
The prices I've listed are just rough guesses at the value of parts am open to sensible offers on everything. The interior needs a dam good clean but is in exceptional condtion for such an old car, I guess the LHD door cards aren't ideal as whilst you can fit them to a RHD car you'll need to make a blanking plate for the holes for the window switches. The gearbox is lovely being from such a low milage car that never been modded. -

K Simmonds replied to K Simmonds's topic in Cars for Breaking
Also got a decent 180 BHP 1.8T engine I removed from a 1999 8L A3 a few ago which I will no longer need. It's just a bare head and block but was a good motor before I broke the car due to rust. I was keeping it as an option for the Corrado but have sold quite a few bits off it, still got the inlet manifold which I'll include in the price. £250 collected. -

I'd like to have edited the above post but wasn't aware there is only a small window of time to do this, oh well I think folk will know what I mean and I shall be more carful in future. -
I am reluctanatly breaking my 1989 Corrado G60 which started it's life in holland so is LHD, the the first couple of year's of UK cars with the G60 motor were left hookers anyway. I stuffed it through a hedge a couple of years ago requiring a a complete new front end. That's not too much of a problem, however the offside cill sustained some pretty serious damage which has just about effected the floor pan making a proper repair extreamly time consuming. The car is Tornado Red/pink and is currently on around 116,000 Kiometers, I retained the orginal clocks, as I was planning keeping the car for life. Since I purchaased the Corrado 11 years ago a great deal has changed, I now own an Audi RS2 with a 380bhp MTM conversion done from new in Germany under warrenty from Audi. I'm only the second owner and the car has done 102,000 miles with a Full Audi service history stapped up in the book up until 97,000. It's very sraight and solid, however it's reached the time in it's life where it requires proventative resoration which is not going to be cheap despite being a mechanic myself and doing all the work. I also have a 2.8 V6 C4 (1991) Avant quattro, this is 177 bhp, has buckets of torque and is my daily driver. Finally I have a solid but a litle tatty looking 1989 Audi 80 quattro, it's poverty spec, so manual windows and a pretty underpowered 2.0 short stroke engine which maybe of interest to someone on here. I'm going to break my Corrado as much as it saddens me to do so and install the G60 engine into my 80, which as it's stripped out weighs very little and I feel will make a fun car as well being something a little differnt. I changed the oil in it every couple of thousand miles and it had it's charger rebuit by JMR not long before I broke it so I know it's good reliable motor. Please PM me with parts requests or post on this thread, everything aside from the engine and parts to makeit run is available. Here's some prices, I'm somwhat out of touch with the world of Corrados so am making a best guess at the prices of the following parts all of which are negotiable. I would preffer collection on most of the bigger stuff but am happy to send smaller items. I'd like to avoid sending stuff to the EU. Very, very tidy black leather interior, complete with all switchs and surrounds as well as the door pockets which have their (undamaged) speaker covers still and indeed OE speakers which work fine... £1200 collected Instrument clusters, got two of these. Both fully functional. £150 for the ones from my car which I think as swowing about 118K and a set from a 1988 16V on about 180K miiles, willl chceck the exact K's/Mike, though I need to find the Miles set as it's buried in my attic somewhere. Bumpers, I have two pairs of these both in Tornado Red, rears are £50 a shot, front's are £100. Tailgate complete with fully functional rear spoiler.. £300 Set of orginal Sebring wheels with center caps, all dead straight and crack free however they need rerub though I think I have six. Black leather steering wheel, excellent condition. £200. Unmolested parcel shelf with decent hangers. £100 Good quailty SS exhaust system, was designed to go with a decat pipe so I've altered it to fit a Cat. £500. Front brakes, complete set up, including bearing carriers. £150. Window regulators, got a pair of these per side as the spare doors I purchased were complete. £150 each. Intercooler, £150. PAS racks, got a couple of these, £150 for the one from my car so very low milage. £100 for the other which came from a 1988 1.8-16V KR engine car on 180K miles. The engine and box from this are long gone, however I still have a few bit's and bob's left from that car. G60 rear badgeS, though ibe Gearbox which has just had new geniuine Audi oil. LHD Black carpet, close to mint. £150 Nearside wing in Black from the 16V, surprisinly solid unlike the offside one which has rusted away in storage. £50 Very, very tidy black leather interior, complete with all switchs and surrounds as well as the door pockets which have their (undamaged) speaker covers still and indeed OE speakers which work fine... £1200 collected Instrument clusters, got two of these.

Got various K-Jet metering heads and one warm up regulator. No idea of condition. The warm rgs are pretty bomb proof however so that proably simply wants a clean out. I can do this for the buyer but it really isn't a complex job. Prices are only a guide, am happy listen to offers. I can now also copy and paste this list to the couple of VW forums I'm members of. Right that'll do for now, and very happy tol isten to sensible offer and I will send items to to the EU if it's worth my time. x Upload Attachments

As per title I'm after a crank pulley/harmonic damper complete with PAS pulley and I also need the alloy PAS pump bracket, a pump and some other odds and sods. Anybody breaking a G60 within 70 miles of Brecon south Wales?

I'm after a crank pulley/harmonic damper as well mate, PM sent.

After some opinions on this from folks who have built up G60 engines. To try and cut a long story short I dropped the oil out of a G60 MK2 I've just picked up to find a horrifying amount of debris came out with it. Mostly bit's of old head gasket by the looks of things as well as gasket sealant and other crap. I'm competent mechanic myself and the idea of stripping a bottom end doesn't bother me too much. Anyway I had to have a look inside for signs of damage so I started stripping the cam cover off whilst a 30 year's in profession mechanic friend went down the pit with instructions from me to drop the sump and oil pump then examine the main's one by one as in the event of oil starvation or contamination they always cop it first. I went down the pit to take a look as he says everything looks fine to discover he's taken the big end caps off not the mains. I knew before I sent him down there that the big end studs are single use stretch items and I would only have removed them if I'd found damage on the mains. I've since inspected the mains and their fine as were the big ends and top end so I've got away will the oil contamination as far as I can see. But now I to replace the big end studs which as far as I can see the head has to come off in order to get the rods out to work on them. My questions are A, is there a way of replacing the studs insitu? ie fabricate a pushing tool to safely extract them from the rods. And B is it really all that necessary to replace them? I'm guessing it is. I could throttle the idiot! Reminds me why I NEVER normally let anyone else touch my cars, I did have a lot of faith in this guy but that gone as he obviously can't follow simple instructions. I feel like going out and taking drugs:bad-words:

Heya Mark, thanks for the reply mate. That could prove most useful if I get stuck on the chip front, got to source a pulley first, surely there must be a few folks on here with them knocking about. I will stick some pic's up on here as she's a little cracker, I'll find some time this weekend to post them up.
-
As per title I'm after a stock pulley and chip/complete ECU so I can return the G60 MK2 I've just picked up to how VW intended it to be. Not a fan of screwing the nuts of these chargers.
-
Do you mean the couple of fixings that hold the cable to the door skin? Prett sure I have some of them that aren't too brittle. I tested both regulators before I stripped the doors and they go right up just fine, no struggling, nice smooth action. Can sort out some photo's if you want. Forgot to mention I also have the windows, £20 + delivery each.

Immaculate 60K mile Black cloth interior, early type.
K Simmonds replied to K Simmonds's topic in Parts for Sale
LHD front door cards and black leather cards now gone, still got the pair of near mint early Grey cloth rear cards, £25 delivered. -
I've got a pair of doors from a 1995 Corrado in a odd sort of dusty mauve colour, the doors themselves are tatty and have various small dents and scratches so the bare doors are free to anyone that wants them and can collect them. I have most the other components going spare. Door mirror's complete except for glass, motors tested and working and wiring not cut, could do with repainting otherwise excellent, £15 each delivered. Also have a pair of plain black mirrors with glasses in good working order, think the paint is still fine on these, £20 each posted. Complete regulators, fully tested and working perfectly, £50 each delivered. Drivers side central locking actuator, perfect working order, £15 posted. Passenger side central locking actuator, perfect working order, £10 posted. Interior triangle trim pieces, no damage, £5 each posted Exterior triangle trim pieces, no damage, excellent condition, £10 each posted. Door catches, £10 each posted. Various seals, open to offers on these as well as all other parts. NO HANDLES, sorry. Also got a near mint headlining from an early sunroof car, no sagging whatsoever and very clean £110 delivered, would much rather collection and would want £70 for it if you can pick it up. Passenger side front wing in plain black, early type, a few marks and very minor dents, also a little rusty around the edge of the wheel arch but not too bad as second hand Corrado wings go. Would be fine once prepped and painted, would also be OK just bolted on as is at a push. £35 delivered, £15 collected. Rear bumper skin in plain black, a bit tatty but not that bad, free to collector.

Do you mean the reflector inside the lamp unit, if so I have a very good drivers side one.

I have an early Corrado front bumper in Tornado red if that's any good to you, it needs painting but otherwise is in good nick with the grill.
