Thanks,,the paint isn't as good as it looks in the pics due to stone chips on the front edge of the bonnet and someone did a bodge filling job of the rear vw badge that has cracked and started to rust so this will all be sorted for next spring when I hope to get it back on the road..

I just need intercooler,oil lines and have to fabricate a full 3" exhaust and boost pipes ,I try to do everything myself on the drive,,,

[Corrado Vr6 Turbo]

Hi I'm Russell I've owned my corrado for 6 years or so after my last corrado had to go due to rust issues...

This time I went for the vr6 in dark burgundy pearl and fitted the coilovers ,all red rears and cream leather from my old car..

It's had a few engines in my ownership first original 2.9 vr wasn't running well so swapped that out for a rebuilt coilpack passat 2.8 lump this was great fitted a 6 branch,de cat and magnex exhaust and enjoyed that for a wile ,,I then wanted more from it so fitted a mk4 golf 4mo lump and smoothed the bay whilst I had everything out..

This didn't last long as I have always wanted a vrt so 4mo engine was sold and I've started on the vrt project...

So far I have a stealth mapped ecu and loom ,4"maf setup ,low mileage obd2 engine now fitted with new chain guides 2mm spacer plate,layered gasket,new genuine head bolts,ebay manifold,gt35 turbo (eBay special just to get it running) 38mm wastegate,short runner and bosch 440 green tops..

Wheels are now RH zw1s fully polished 8.5 x17s

Will have 288 front brakes and has mk4 rear calipers ..

Yes will bolt straight on but you will need to change the drive flanges to 100mm ones ..

[how do u fit 2.8obd1 into my rado]

i have a corrado vr6 on 189k and it wont start when i pulled the plugs out they were an oily mess,.

so i was thinking of getting an obd1 golf vr lump to go in (as they are easier to find)wile i rebuild the 2.9.,

is it a straight swap??

thanks for any help,

[Swapping OBD1 dizzy to coil?(pics of what happens when timing chain tensioner brakes killing engine)]

does this meen its the same for obd1 2.9 to obd1 2.8 as my rado has given up and its much easier to find a 2.8 then can rebuild my 2.9 when its out,

hope the cams dont need swapping.,

[How many miles has you VR6 covered????]

im up to 186k in my rado

runs really well but gonna charge it soon ,see if that kills it,
