JonnyVR6 0 Posted January 10, 2004 I have recently purchased a 94 Storm and have started reading about their common problems. Is there any checks or servicing i should carry out. The car itself has never been modified. many thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danger Mouse 0 Posted January 10, 2004 Hey mate, welcome to the forum. Dont know if this will help, but here is a link to a guide. Its a general Corrado guide and has common sections then the vr6 and g60 extra. Hope you get some questions answered. http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... =checklist DM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted January 10, 2004 Welcome to the forum anyway Johnny :) Mind telling us a little more about your car? Mileage, colour, interior, etc.. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveStorm 0 Posted January 10, 2004 Hello and welcome. :) If it's a '94 car then it won't be a storm, they didn't arrive until '95....... :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted January 10, 2004 I was gonna say that, but wasn't too sure. Thats why I was asking about colour / spec - wanted to make sure Jonny hadn't been mislead when he bought his car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JonnyVR6 0 Posted January 10, 2004 Hi all thanks for the response the date of registration is April 94 it say colour red on tax book but is the dark purply colour. it has cream interior all around exept for the dash which is black heated seats etc and as far as i have looked into it she is a storm, although i am aware i'm a newbe to this :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted January 10, 2004 Hm... Well i'm afraid to say that your car does not sound like a Storm at all! If you were specifically looking for a Storm then I am afraid to say you have been told a porkie pie by whoever sold you the car. Quick way to identify a Storm would be : 1995 or later registration.. (M/N/P(?) plate) The BBS 'Solitude' 6 spoke alloy wheels.. Mystic blue paint with black leather interior OR Classic green with cream leather interior. But either way, I hope its a sound car and it gives you many miles of painfree ownership :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 10, 2004 the best check would be to call VW customer services with the VIN number, check the registration and the colour it should be! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonnyVR6 0 Posted January 10, 2004 the car was owned by a friend of mine for 6yrs and i was lucky enough to take it of his hands. It has 102000 miles and so far the only thing i had to do was remove the alarm/emobilizer system and buy a new door handle. Changed the cooling system in it today and have new plugs, leads etc ready to go in. I have a 21 Turbo sitting as well but the VR6 is something alse.

vr6storm 0 Posted January 10, 2004 Hi all thanks for the response the date of registration is April 94 it say colour red on tax book but is the dark purply colour. it has cream interior all around exept for the dash which is black heated seats etc and as far as i have looked into it she is a storm, although i am aware i'm a newbe to this :lol: right as others have pointed out with that registration date it will be a L-plater and is also a complete year before the storm was launched.......also if it says red in the log-book it wont be a mystic blue storm anyway.....as these AFAIK will have blue as the "primary" colour,also cream leather was only available with the classic green storm and of course non-storm VR's and both 8 and 16 valvers :wink: what yours might have is a cream leather storm interior......as biggrim on the forum has that in his black G60 8) or it was maybe supplied with the cream leather interior......does it have the Karmann badge or storm badge on the centre console?????.....if it has the latter and IS April 94 reg'd then its been added...........and before you ask :wink: .....if its got a Karmann badge......its not a special edition :wink: :lol: :-P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
