fitted my optima yellow top,and i found the battery leads reached no problem :)

C&R enterprises used to sell armour door plates for the corrado

this site shows some of them http://www.vintagewatercooleds.com/tech ... wheels.htm quite a few missing though,from the entire vw range

http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37124

the ones fitted to campaigns,montreals i think

you could take the wheel off and put it in something like your bath full off water,that way you will see where its leaking from

very nice mate

the fronts are harder,they need to be pressed in/out,you can smack them out with a hammer and drift but you risk damaging the hub

i think id better keep my spare rack with 35k on it then

could be anything really,i wouldnt of though belt tensioner as he says it make a noise on take off

it could just be an old permanant live feed from an old stereo

did yours go green and things started growing out of them phil?

on the one i removed,there was a plug by the glove box,then the remainder of the loom went around the dash following the rear window demister switch etc..then into the fuse box,and to be honest it was a right pig to remove

try leaving the car in gear and rock the car backwards and forwards,the starter could be jammed,or clack it with a hammer,although theres feck all room to do that on a VR6

that is truely shocking,and they even tried to hide the damage,id be straight back down there..and you should name and shame so other people can avoid them

i started off with fords but always wanted a mk2 golf gti 16v,then i eventually got one,then i originally wanted a G60 corrado,but they were hard to find locally but a VR6 came up for sale,test drove it and had to have it

the part number for the green pas fluid is 002 000

mine are the same,so ill be doing the same as you shortly

the vw power steering fluid is green,just go the the parts department and ask for some just found the part number not that you will need it but it costs £5.31 for a small bottle

halfords...lol

the only way to check that the chassis is not damaged is to take it to a body shop and ask them to put it on a jig,but it might cost you a bit as i know some body shops have to hire jigs now as so many cars get written off straight away and not repaired like they used to,or you could do a diy job and get someone you know with another corrado and take measurments from key points and compare them with the other corrado

yeah the use them and parkers,but glass charge close on £3 to get valuations through there website

looks like he's using an optima battery to fire it up aswell!!

Cost New ('02) £ 26800 Franchised Dealer £ 16940 Independent Dealer £ 16380 Private Good £ 14700 Private Poor £ 12600 Part Exchange £ 13580 thats from parkers website
