Not much of a update but I got my jetex fitting kit and the hanger they supply is crap so I made my own with solid bar. Jetex one is black.

I now have a custom small pulley for my charger.

I have a VR6 golf that has a bit of a hydration problem, I cant seem to keep the water in the engine. there are no signs of leeks, if I run it stationary, there is no evidence of water loss, but it needs a top up after a few days of driving. I have swapped the thermostat housing and oil cooler, but this hasn't helped, there is no mayo in on the oil cap. Any ideas? on another note, recently the dash wont show the outside air temp, could this be connected ? Thanks Mark

there is nothing obvious there, although there is some water marks near the expansion tank, but I have put this down to a water pipe blowing a wile back, I think a full engine bay clean and de-grease is in order, that should help spot any new leeks.

Good idea ben, I might do a sticker bomb demo actually at the show! [emoji23]

You could do this with your wings?![emoji106] Well below the mouldings anyway[emoji3]

I'll go on the stand of you want. I'll do my best to hide the dodgy bits on the car! [emoji106]

At the moment I'm just hoping to get there in the VR, as I keep finding myself more stuff to do to it! But I may still enter the show n shine if I make it there in it[emoji120]!

Still waiting for mine to turn up. £160 all in.

bennyk Gwr corrado D11PS Are you lads gonna put your cars on the club stand?? Just over 2 weeks away from this show now. Is there anyone else who would like to represent the club and put your car on the stand??

Got a price today for the chain and clutch doing, I'm supplying all the bits etc, £450 plus vat, is that a bit much or right?

Think I may have found the ESP problem with a 4 wheel alignment check

I'm also looking into ceramic bearing upgrades aswell But there not cheap looks to be around £170-180 per bearing and 3 are needed! But I will let you guys know more when I find out more

I will look in to it for you buddy

Got one off eBay for £98 [emoji106]

i thought these would only fit the 280's? get the carriers from a TT and go 312. but will need bigger wheels Den, some 16's fit but not many here is link to the Vortex forum which covers a lot of options http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5583065-The-Corrado-VR6-Brake-Bible-Part-1-The-Front s

check the brake servo isnt full of fluid

I went for AVO gtz kit and im very impressed with the results, easy damping adjustment and when they developed a fault, play in the top bush, they couldn't be more helpful!

Might go for the Sachs kit as I'm not going for silly power

Or 312 mm discs and carriers on standard 288mm calipers, depends why you want to upgrade.

When is the next meet everyone

The last couple of days have been quite productive as I could do with the car out of the workshop sooner rather than later! As you can see; Though I've still managed to get a couple of bits done, removed my sump and I wasn't to keen on this[emoji15]; So a little while back I knocked this up and forgot about it; After drilling a hole as high as possible in the sump for the oil return ( the sump from the black car was ruined and the hole was a bit low I thought) cleaned up some of the rust on the sump and plug welded the plate on, but not to much welding incase of putting to much heat through

I spotted a complete zorst on eBay with a sport car welded in. Price for the item was £125 approx.
