BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE AN UPDATE Been a while since ive done an update for you guys, not much else has changed so far. Had a couple of photo shoots done by my friend: What you guys think?? On the other side also have some bad news SHE'S A SMOKING AND STALLING not a nice post to have to put up. The VR has started smoking and stalling more often think this could be leading to abit of a rebuild replacing valve stem seals, valve guides, head gasket and piston rings. not happy need to try and compression test it this weekend. Anyone know a good compresson tester for a vr6? Anyone else ha

Done abit of research and you definitely need two drivers side wiper arms as if you got a passenger one it would foul the bonnet when lifting the arms up. Gonna try swing by a local vw dealer and find a price for everyone who's interested
-
Will do pete hopefully they haven't put the prices up to silly money

Taken off the arms and blades Arm - 6X2 955 410 C Blade - 6X2 955 426 A That's £20 x4 not £20 x2. This was also a couple of years ago so no doubt the prices will have gone up. Cheers mate. Will have to go and enquire this week

Cheers or the love man. Should be looking better when the other mods are done

UPDATE: Gave the rado a bit of TLC today with a big service for some peace of mind. Replaced the plugs, oil and all filters also flushed the engine and put in some injector cleaner too. Looked like the fuel filter hadnt been replaced for a good 5-10 years. Was rusted on! Got the camber fixed too so all is well. Got talking to a admin of the corrado club whilst getting the camber sorted and he mentioned doing a mk3 front brake swap as they have bigger surface area on the callipers and also mentioned doing lupo GTI wiper replacement. Just wondering if any of you guys have done this?? Also treate

Alright guys as mentioned in my build thread, I lowered my rado about 70-80mm last night and the fronts have cambered right in! has anyone else had this problem and how can i get around it? cheers tah! Big jay
-
Yeah sounds like a good day out. More photos will be up this weekend man Over the next few weeks there will be a fair few updates. UPDATE: Rado has been lowered after abit of a dub session tonight with the boys. Around a 70-80mm drop. Only thing is the front has cambered in massively! Is there any way of reducing this so the fronts sit more equal to the rear camber? And also has anyone else had this problem? cheers much
