deane1989 10 Posted July 1, 2012 on the way to get my tracking sorted today. massive bang and the car nearly puts me in a ditch. get it to the garage and the front sub frame is completely corroded. is this a check in the mot because it passed 4 months ago with no advisory’s. the car has barely done 1500 miles since the mot. does anyone have one for sale, do VW do new ones or am i up **** creek?

seanl82 23 Posted July 1, 2012 Yeah I had an MOT failure certificate for an excessively corroded front subframe. (Previous Owner). Not sure if they're still available, but I should imagine not as their specific to the C. The one fitted to mine after the failure was a second hand one I believe.

boost monkey 0 Posted July 5, 2012 there's not really plenty of second hand ones available. Perhaps there's a stockpile in guernsey or something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VW_OwneR_85 2 Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) there's not really plenty of second hand ones available. Perhaps there's a stockpile in guernsey or something. lol you got me ;) iv been collecting these for awhile now so i can put the prices up!. but theres corrados being broken up all the time so i cant see why it would be hard to find one second hand.. ebay "corrado breaking" message seller for front subframe. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/vw-corrado-breaking-for-spares-/170867231586?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27c87b0b62 Edited July 5, 2012 by VW_OwneR_85 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deane1989 10 Posted July 5, 2012 cheers i have been quoted £400 for a new one from vw not to sure if i want to go down the second hand route unless i can find a nice reconditioned one ---------- Post added at 6:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 6:36 PM ---------- sounds like your very lucky to not have had an accident, mate if there was anything coming the other way or i was going any faster i think it would have been a lot more serious. defiantly one of those 5p 10p moments :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VW_OwneR_85 2 Posted July 5, 2012 £400.00 damn!, i would deffo get a price on a second hand one, atleast you can easily clean it up and paint it yourself or have it blasted and powder coated for alot less then £400.00 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
