    Took me two years to find one!!! But i have looked at something else, there is a SEAT part no on the wheel too, which leads me to believe that the Ibiza Cupra 20vt until 02 plate MAY share this steering wheel too.

    Oh dear that is truly horrifying

    Cheers guys looks like i will be buying some nitromors then, didnt fancy trying to wet and dry the laquer on each rim!! Well i will have to split them first and get the centres re painted, hoping to get these done for UDUBS but its not looking too likely

    Try looking for a 3.5 cab wheel, contrary to popular belief they are a direct fit with a mk4 GTi airbag, vast improvement over standard

    From a vague memory i think the bore is 54.5mm

    Basically how do i do it, got some split rims which for now will remain nameless but the outer rims have some chips in the clear lacquer, so whats the best way to remove it and re polish the rims up?? Any info is hugely appreciated as i need to get this done for ultimate dubs

    I think that rocks!!! I remember seeing one of these parked next to a VR6 a few years bacl and thought............ now that would be a cool swap!! Did that broken up old green Corrado do the gentlemanly thing and donate its engine?? i hope so

    Like i said far more complex than vag com a wiring loom!! The problem is that the MK3 runs a conventional cable rather than fly by wire throttle pedal

    Said it before, long been a favourite of mine, love the interior, the whole car as a package works perfectly

    Look on german ebay, as the vr6 cc is done by a vacuum pump, and its more complicated than just plugging in wires as it was never available in the UK, or in right hand drive. The problem being the accelerator is held in plave by a valve when in operation, hence the vacuum system, BUT the problem being on a LHD car there will be plent of room for said valve/actuator as the pedal is nearly in the middle of the car. I have considered doing it but dont use the car near enough to justify the hassle

    What you could do is get a cluster, find out if the wiring is the same by trying it in the car. BUT get an early one that starts reading at 10mph If its different, which i doubt it will be, split the dials and fit the dial faces from the uk set to the euro set, really simple job TBH

    IIRC Volks bits do the jom ones

    Ive had head gasket/chains done on my current car and my old Corrado without any of the problems you describe
  16. Focker-out
    I have some, but not the crystal ones that are more common nowadays, personally i prefer the non crystal(hella) ones. I like them but thats just my opinion

    Piece of P!*s mate!!! Depending on if the new enginw has the exh manifold and front pipe still attatched then i cant think of any other difficult parts of the job TBH!! Two hours to remove the old engine and maybe three to fit the new one, its that simple. The ECU will be fine on the new engine
  18. Focker-out
    Id go for the R32 also, just looks more special than the A3 for me!!
  19. Focker-out
    Depends on the year of the corrado engine namely are both running coil packs or dizzys, if so i believe that its a direct replacement, but believe the ECUs are different
  20. Focker-out
    That is a bargain im trying to sell mine ATM And will be paying more than double that for new ones on saturday
  21. Focker-out
    TBH i aint done much, taken my car to bits, made it look REALLY REALLY bad then parked it in the drive!! My bumper still isnt painted, wheels still not finished and my interior iss in turmoil, Dont you just love show prepping
  22. Focker-out
    Well done Rich, probably the only VW parts guy that actually knows his job
  23. Focker-out
    Even the jacking point on a MK3 is pathetic, can still bend it, personally i aalways jack my car yp at the subframe mount point or rear axle mount as this dont damage anything
  24. Focker-out
    Looks loads better mate, nice choice
  25. Focker-out
    Poor show, sad to hear that Donna, Hope they dont write it off, IIRC if the 3rd party is at fault and your car is "beyond economical repair" you can insist that they repair the car!!! Good luck and i hope your better soon
