VR6 Pete! Those are perfect and just what I was looking for! Done! Cheers!

Hello! I've looked around, I'm wondering what people use here to replace their old and decomposing insulation for their hood. I know there are the inserts that replace the old ones, and then there is the whole blanket that gets put underneath. The blanket seems to be much cheaper, and covers the whole underside of the hood, where the inserts don't. What's best? Thanks!

I can't believe how difficult it's been to locate these things new -if even at all. Mine stopped working: you pull and nothing happens. I understand this is a common problem as the striker bar breaks over time. I'm waiting on my mechanic to remove the old one so he can tell me what's wrong with it. He said that 'something cracked'. But the door handle looks intact from the outside. I'm willing to bet that it's the striker bar issue, and that I just need to replace it with a new-and-improved (steel) one. I'll try that first. But I LOST THE LINK FOR THESE -can someone repost? HOWEVER: If that i

Hey, Lukey. Yes, it is for the volt/bar in the center console behind the shifter. The actual part is cost prohibitive. That's why I was wondering if the one in the link I sent would work. It's a different manufacturer, but the specs say that it is for replacement of the original part. I hope I answered your question. It's only $7.00 so, if it doesn't work, I'm not out a whole lot. But I need to call them and see if what I have would swap out with what they have.

Oil Sender Retrofit, I can see where I'm misleading readers. What I should have stated was, Looking For After Market Oil Senders. Sorry.

Hey, Lukey! Apologies for being vague. Yes, I'm trying to find a replacement for Part # 535919561B The one I have has failed. They're available. , However, I would like to avoid spending the $250.00. I understand that some have found aftermarket replacements for as little as $33.00, or thereabouts. I'm just looking to do the same.

Hello. I've done some more research on the exact part that I need. There was a little confusion on some of the sites. I had to find out exactly the type I needed. Turns out that I need a sender with: a 1 lead housing for a 10 bar gauge. This for a 2.8 VR6 (AAA engine) Is this a 15 PSI sender? Any luck here? I'm continuing to browse -but this does narrow it down a bit. Thanks

Greetings! I was wondering if anyone know about some retro-fitting when it comes to certain parts. For instance, my Oil Sender. The part costs about $230.00 US, and there are manufactures out there that are making and selling oil senders for other makes an models of cars for $3-$10. US. It's NOT that complicated a part. My understanding (right or wrong) is that it has a diaphragm in it that senses the pressure differential, and then relays that information to the gauge. What I would like to try is to find the specs on my Oil Sender, and see if I can't swap it out for an off brand that has the

Sorry, but i thought I had posted to this! Anyhow, sorry for the delay. It does help, thanks. Yes, I'm planning on hanging on to it! Sounds like you're pretty handy in the garage with restoring your own parts and what not ! One of things I would like to see, is if there are items that are able to be retro-fit. For instance (and I'll post on this specifically later), my Oil Sender. The part costs about $230.00 US, and there are manufactures out there that are making and selling oil senders for other makes an models for $3-$10. US. It's NOT that complicated a part. It has a diaphragm in it that

VR6Pete! Thanks for your reply! I've been told by my non enthusiast cohorts to just get rid of it. This is NOT what i want to do. No doubt there are people out here, such as yourself, who believe in keeping a good thing alive! I will check out the resources you mentioned! Thanks again, and see you around! cheers!

Hello folks. I'm wondering if there is anyone who knows of a "trusted and reputable" manufacture the builds aftermarket parts for the VR6 Corrado. I have it in the shop right now (ABS Accumulator, turn signal indicator, wiper jet, window motor, etc). My mechanic said that he's having a tough time finding some of this stuff, and that his only source has been on ebay, as many of the parts are no longer being made. What do the experts here do, as I know I'm not the only one ? I've been looking, and Volksport Audimotive was just one of the links. I'm sure there are many, but what are some of the
