    Hi All, took the lady for a well deserved bath at the local Eastern European car wash, scrubs up well! Also fitted re-trimmed headliner, mk3.5 visors and trimmed moon roof shade. Found out when removing rear trim that a previous owner had the rear passenger quarter glass changed and managed to glue the window to car and the entire length of the rear trim and most of the b and c pillar trim!
    just need black sunroof controls now, missed the set last week on EBay ?

    ssaunders got a reaction from Flylow in VR6 Syncro gearbox and Mk2 syncro rear diff   
    Hi All, stripping the old stuff out the Rado to go haldex so will have some bits left.
    VR6 Syncro gearbox (02C) rebuilt less than 1000miles ago new seals and bearings, it has new diff planetary gears, ARP diff bolts, the gears and ring gear have been shot peened and superfinished also has a lightened flywheel.this has a modified cast iron transfer box from (rallye) which has been serviced and converted to fit bolt in cups this mates up to a Syncro rear diff.
    i have the receipts for the box, parts and rebuild. i may have driveshafts but the prop has been re-used i also have the original Mk3 syncro transfer box.
    it will be removed in the next week or so and is currently at the Phirm, it comes from a running and driving car.
    looking for £1200.
    thanks for looking.

    Drove it after being without for 18 months! Rampant! Forgotten how bloody quick it is and only ran the 280 map, honestly scared to go all out to map 3 (330) and don't know how it will be after the syncro to haldex conversion and more boost! Aiming for 450.
    i will need to buy more underwear!

    ssaunders got a reaction from brandyn93 in Obd1 vr6 power windows not working   
    i have noticed that without load the motors work ok but with the weight of glass added they stop.
    cant remember but do the switches light with use or just when side\main lights are on? what about jumping the block the switch connects too?
    good luck.

    Try searching t'internet for g3radfan3speed.pdf, and you should find a two page PDF containing a wiring diagram.
    I've not checked it (some wiring diagrams do have errors in them), but it seems ok on the whole...
     
    There is a cool thread on the Corrado forum describing the cooling system, which may be worth a read:
