Right been a while since I've posted anything but need to get back into the swing of it been after a corrado vr for a while now and it's all ways been on my mind, so decided to go ahead and buy one lol heres some before and after pics and a pic/s of parts I've made, went in to EMP for a decat and mid box delete, sounds bloody awesome, and treated myself to a hoody when renewing my membership

Off the ground for the last time, the next time this touches the floor it will be drove to stealth!

Long time forum member but never posted so thought I would post my corrado project. Ran it with a few mods for a few years (coils, schmidts, exhaust etc). Then I got the power itch...Viw28 old engine came up for grabs so I took it and has been in a garage ever since. Building as I can afford it atm. Custom intercooler and rad recently made. In the process of powdercoating and polybushing the front end of the motor, Airride, all new brakes and exhaust. New wheels in pipeline also

I certainly did. I will get pictures up shortly. Had a right nightmare with it. The guy who was selling it was a right moron. Day before I picked it up it had an 'mot' which I passed no problem. On way We heard a weird nose coming from the back end. We proceeded. Anyway my friend had a look over it to sort out the rear bearing only to find that the only thinking keeping the Hub attached to the rear was the split pin. Suspension was wrangling it's bag off. Was horrendous. Of course the guy denied all knowledge etc etc anyway it's sorted now. New hubs and pads all

Corrado here

Hi guys I'm new to the vr6. I don't actually own it yet lol. I'm due to be picking it up on Tuesday. So would like a bit of information. It's done 130k completely standard obd2 high line. Only upgrade is a Direnze exhaust. Had new clutch slave and master cylenders, welding on sills etc slight bit of lacquer peel but nothing major. Guy wants 1400 quid. I think it's bit of a steel. Full 12 months motWhat do you think? Any information is gratefully received

Hi there from Belfast Long time forum user...never posted until now New site looks well folks

hey any chance you have a link to the 90 degree intake pipe? cant seem to find one on ebay with the breather pipe take off

Cheers Pete. Not that much to be honest. It's been rather good! The clutch slave cyl was leaking, resulting in having to pump up the clutch every morning so that was changed for the 2nd time. New discs, pads and bearings on the rear as they were looking a bit shitty! And just the routine services really It's currently off the road as I'm planning to tidy the engine bay up a bit more and do some bodywork I've been meaning to do.

Mine before and after a few changes

Can anyone help I have a 4motion and I can't select 1st 2nd or reverse only from 3rd to 6th. I look it up and it seems there is some part of the linkage that fails. Can anyone help with some advice. Thanks in advance

Looks tidy that mate. But hands off my Corrado lol

Looking for Corrado VR6 for a deal with my Stunning Golf GTI 25 Th Anniversary.Current mileage 83,200 mls with full documented service history from new. Full 12 months M.O.T.New discs and pads on four corners, all VW manuals,fully stamped service book and both working remotes.Production number 1677 (1.8 Turbo petrol)

There has been no other problems with car, so im hoping the crank sensor will fix it, got one from gsf with a 40% off discount code so £30 all in. gonna check the ecu plug and engine loom multi plug as well, hope the weather holds for the weekend! cheers luke

I look forward to taking my place beside you all [emoji108]

not got round to changing the coils yet as car hadn't been misbehaving but as of this morning it now starts then cuts out straight away if you apply the throttle or after a few seconds in idle, plugged the laptop in as well as the original codes I posted above it is now showing 16785 and 17819 which from what I've found are to do with the secondary air injection system any ideas if this is the cause of the stalling or is it due to the problem with the coils/plugs? any help appreciated Neil

Mine did exactly the same when it got hot - turned over without starting. Left it to cool off 10 mins and it was fine. Also, a few cutouts - including one on the M6!!! - again, after a few minutes it would start and run for a few more minutes. That was a long drive home after work... Checked resistance of sensor and it was within spec, but that was off the car and cold. Had a spare old one, swapped it in, no more problems after that. Don't think they're outrageous to buy new, just a bit of an effort to fit - especially if you're lowered... Might also think of ignition swi

Hi Daveyboy. Honestly not got much done. Looms away now being done. Bit of a wait but will be done properly. When the weathers a bit warmer I can get back to the Moto commute and take the golf off the road. Everything parts wise in the garage, just the usual busy busy. I'm going to say by end of March it'll be under way. 👷

2 years later .... Still going strong

Check out my build thread on here. Mine is the 24v engine with a GT3582r .82 and I'm at full boost by 3k rpm and seems to not run out of puff at redline. This was low'ish boost around 12-13 psi

U'll get a lambda fault with a misfire unburnt fuel open loop circuit etc, change all the coils and check plugs would be my first port of call pal

Not long now buddy,

Young free single And now homeless Still got golf

She'll never know.

Id give stealth a ring. I'm using mk4 management so might as well use the 4 as theyre there anyway, not really about needing them. I guess it would map better as has more info from lambdas...? Partial guess there.

Bought a set of RS764's with new tyres. Booked in this morning for fitting coilovers. Next should be power.

Ok thanks. Will keep an eye on his location. Another small job done last night - hinge and hardware primered, top coat and lacquered.
