Hello Supercharged Will, You've got the wrong car. Mine was an 8v 2ltr with no sunroof - Sorry

Hi, Can anybody give me some idea of the price I should ask for two Recaro Pole Position seats. One is in good condition, and the other requires a new cover (£2oo). they come with adjustable subframes, but they are no longer race legal, although I understand there are still many classes which allow their use. These seats are very comfortable for road use.

The following parts are for sale: Bentley Official Factory Repair Manual £48 plus postage Used Alternator-good condition £30 plus postage. Starter motor. Unused since full renovation £35 plus postage. PM or 'phone 01249 814071

It seems that my 8 valve will not sell at any price, so with regret, it's going to the breakers. Has any kind member got a really crap set of plug leads for it's final journey? This will allow me to keep the new Magnecor leads I got for Christmas. P.M., or 'phone 01249 814071

Yes, it's still available. If you are interested, give me a call.

Now Sold For Sale 1995 8v 2ltr.Corrado This car has been a rolling project for 4 years. Much work has been carried out and many new parts fitted. 2013:New Infinity Stainless Steel Exhaust. 2014: Brake pads, discs and wheel bearings, top mounts, front lower wishbones, ball joints, roll bar drop links, second hand (in tank) fuel pump, alternator. 2015: New belts fitted throughout, New ignition switch, immobiliser ecu, coil, rear (rhs) abs sensor, rear suspension bushes. The car does not have a sunroof, so no leaks! It has very little rust but requires a fair amount of cosmetic work due to poor paintwork and interior. It comes complete with Bentley workshop manual. I have been told by VW that only one hundred and twenty-eight of this model were made. Current MOT until May 2016. Runs and drives well.

Located in Calne, Wiltshire.

Thanks for the clues. The 'A' code appears to be restricted to the ADY engine which I think was fitted to all the 8V Corrados and some of the 2ltr Mk3 Golfs. The 'A' and 'B' pumps are, at least in appearance, quite different, eg wiring and terminals. Maybe the 'B' could be modified, but it is certainly beyond my skills, or my pocket to have the job done professionally. I wonder if the G60 uses the same pump as the ordinary 8V - hm!

Hi. Some time ago I bought an ABS Pump for my 8v Corrado. I have just got round to cleaning it and find that the part number on the label is - 1 H2 614 117 B, whereas the number of the pump on the car is 1 H2 614 117 A. Can anyone tell me if there are differences between the two, or is it going to be a straight swap. vcl

Many thanks for the help guys. I managed to figure it out at last! No wonder my family motto is ' Give us the job and we'll finish the tools. This must be the best owners forum ever. Thabks again vcl

No help I'm afraid, but thanks for the the reply. vcl

While cleaning mud from the front underside of my '95 8v I removed one of plastic panels (part number 535 825 250A). To my embarrassment, I did not take a note of its location and now, despite my efforts I cannot find out where it should go. When you stop laughing at my stupidity I would be very grateful if anyone can recognise it from the part number above. regret, camera out of order. vcl

You will not do better than Infinity Exhausts. They will build an exhaust as quiet or as loud as you want. I've had mine for two years and have no complaints. My son has one fitted to his Porsche and is also delighted. My stainless system was £300 - fitted! You will not get better value than that. Go on, you know it makes sense.

Averages out about 30mpg.

Thats good. I always thought there was a problem with the cable gear change.

The previous owner of my 8v Corrado omitted to inform me that the car was fitted with a 16v gearbox. The performance is outstanding, but I could do with a few more miles per gallon. Can any one tell me if there is a more compatible 02A gearbox fitted to any other VW which could be fitted without any modification.

Hi, Looking for advice on tyres. My last car was an MX5 and seemed to handle best on Toyos. Obviously, the Corrado is heavier than the Mazda and has (at least for the moment) somewhat softer suspension. The tyre world changes so fast these days and companies want tyres to look good as well as keeping the four wheels on the tarmac - I'm only interested in Price and Performance. All advice welcomed. Cheers

Thanks for the help. Very grateful.

Hello there My '95 8v corrado has for some reason decided to use more petrol. After trying the easy solutions - empty the ash trays, cleaning the mirrors, etc. the time has come to take the more technical approach. I decided first to try and clean the MAF, but having examined it, I can find no hot wire to clean. Does the MAF work on a different principle? there does not seem to be anywhere to squirt the cleaner. Any help would be welcomed

Hi, Need fuel pump (not the in-tank one) for 1995 8v 2 ltr. cheers vcl

hi, Do you still have the ABS pump assembly, if so, what condition is it in, is it still operational? and how much. Thanks for your time, vcl

Does anyone know where to obtain Axxis Ultimate Brake Pads. They are manufactured by Bendix in Australia and sold mostly in the US. I have tried contacting Bendix, but I got no reply and the only ones I have seen for sale in the UK are for Japanese cars. I have previously used these pads on an MX5 and they are the best I have ever used by a wide margin. As usual, although they are cheap in the States, they are quite expensive in UK, but at £65 or £70 they are well worth the extra as not only do they vastly improve braking, the last for ages. Cheers

Thanks for the help. Operation carried out successfully. vcl

I have just been changing the distributor cap on my 8v Corrado and am having a problem finding any means of locating the cap on the distributor body. Is it simply held in place by the springs, or is there some other guide that I have missed. cheers
