Due to pressure from a couple of people i have decided to write this record of my Corrado VR6 purchase and ownership.
In April i discovered the listing for a 1994 L Corrado Vr6 in turquoise ! ( actually Ice Grey Violet Pearl ) having covered 104,000 miles with fsh , all working electrics and was described as being in immaculate condition as well as having 7 months tax and MOT.
I emailed the seller to ask some pertinent questions about things like timing chains, service history and if he had any reciepts for major work like the chains, clutch , gearbox etc.
This was his reply :
No resprays or damage, all original
No rust
No driving issues, new clutch 28/02/04, gears & steering ok
No chain rattle, far left windscreen control a little stiff but works ok, new matrix 12/02/10, sunroof & spoiler ok
Services:-
24/03/94 26 miles
06/07/95 7317 miles
24/07/96 14270 miles

If you were to come and view, you won’t be disappointed
In fact in a further email he informed me that the only fault on the car was :
The far left swivel control on the heater control, where you can change the air flow from windscreen to feet, to main dash blower etc.
As it was in the midlands and i was in France due to relocate back to the uk in the following fortnight, i couldn't go view the car and when i did move back i would be an hour n half away .
Anyway following the above information given by the seller on the car i felt as comfortable as you can be to bid on it, it started at £1750 and didn't move until very late on but i won it at £2008 which i thought to be a bit of a bargain!
I then arranged with a mate to go down with him ( a mechanic ) in his recovery truck to collect the Rado ( this would mean one lot of fuel and no risk of uncovering any faults that may have left me stranded by the side of the road on way back home with it ).
We got there and proceded to inspect her, it was obvious to me that the front end had been blown over by a bodyshop, the colour match was great and the depth of finish was good but there were dirt inclusions in the paint and the stone chips typical of a car of this mileage were painted over ( the chips were still there but recovered in paint )- so much for the original paint - no resprays !! :angry:
Also when i opened the fuel flap i was greeted by the beginnings of the dreaded rust round the filler neck as well as a un-treated stone chip on the rear arch that had blebbed up - so much for the No Rust ! :cry:
So we went for a test drive, she squeaked and rattled along and had a very hard ride even though it was running on standard suspension, despite this the Magnex made a nice subtle noise and she went well and there were no coolant temp concerns or stalling / misfiring issues and the oil covering the engine appeared to be old oil rather than from a major leak or anything.
I estimated that the front brakes discs were thin, it was due a service and the shockers probably needed replacing plus the paintwork clearly needed a bit of work .
So i asked the seller to help me out on the price as i felt it was not as described, ' oh no ' he said ' i wanted £2500 for it so i won't budge on price ' he clearly had no real conscience as regards his decription of the car and the true condition and the fact that we had travelled a distance on the back of his description. Lets face it Rado vr6's are not too hard to buy at the moment !
So i had to make a decision on the spot which wasn't helped by my mate telling me to buy it ,buy it , buy it ,he had not thought to tell his missus what we were doing on his day off so she had booked an appointment with a wedding planner so he was in a seriously mad rush to get back ( this wasn't helped by the fact that he turned up late to pick me up either ! )
I decided to go for it and asked my mate mate to take the front spoiler off before he loaded it onto the truck to avoid damaging the spoiler, he promply ignored me and split it at the corner, when we later unloaded it he produced some blocks of wood that prevented the spoiler catching the truck , these can't have been available when loading obviously ! :grin:
Here she is

:cool: don't see many in that colour

First jobs :
I replaced the front indicators that were both cracked, i arrived off fleabay covered in red overspray ! The seller refunded me a part of the price so i am ok with it especially as i managed to remove it although the rubbing has left a slight dullness to lens, i will polish this out when / if i get the time.
I bought a new engine cover as some muppet had previously forced the cover off without undoing the hex bolts that hold it on !! This was probably the same rough arse who'd had the door cards off and not put them back properly, refitting this cured many of the rattles, also unscrewing the rubber tailgate rubbers cured the loud squeak from the rear, i love free fixes, they make you feel very clever i find :wink:
Anyway the engine cover had been chucked around by postman pat so had a chunk broken off the edge of it :angry: , this has glued back on but the glue is just visible.
The oil cleaned off the engine with several attacks with Bilt-Hamber Surfex HD which is a fantastic product for those of you that haven't tried it, it is a degreaser that can be diluted according to application and is bio-degradeable so you can spray away knowing that it won't accelarate the end of days :laugh:
On this note the engine breather looks recent and i wonder if this was the cause of all the oil and gunk over the engine, there doesn't appear to be any other suspect although the sump gasket is a little weepy ( have u seen the price of 'em :shocked: )
I also discovered that the rear calipers are suffering from seizures and are very rusty so have planned to replace these when i can.
Next i discovered on this rather good forum ( GolfGTI.co.uk of course ) a posting advertising the scrapping of two late Mk3 Valvers with the 288mm brakes , so i negotiated to buy the complete hubs set up with balljoints, hoses, calipers , drilled & grooved discs and pads showing very little wear.One of the balljoints is split and the hoses look a bit tired but what can you expect for £45 posted eh ? :grin:
(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/2021/brakes2.jpg)
(http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/9382/brakes1x.jpg)
These will be fitted when split , re-painted and lubed up. The pads appear to be coming away from their backing plates which is probably to be expected as they are cheap pads ( apec ) to be used with these kind of discs.
-
Looks very smart, even if you do have to do some tidying work it's still worth the money i think.

here are the brakes undergoing their renovation :

I have used Bilt-Hamber ( i'm hoping that if i mention their stuff enough times they might want to send me some free samples ) hydrate 80 which is a rust converter prior to hammeriting them.
Sorry the photos are poor , i will try take some more and post them asap.

Yeah i think you're right i am more annoyed at the deception though, i am a yorkshireman after all !!
I expected to buy a 17 yr old car with faults both obvious and hidden to be discovered afterwards but the lies / deception get my goat
What i forgot to mention was that on getting home and showing it to our kid and the mrs i realised that it was only t&t'd until august making it 4 months and not 7 months as advertised :angry:
Having been a car salesman for 20 years and been accused of all sorts of underhand behaviour by everyone i meet , it annoys to me to say that i have never misled or lied to a customer but i've been lied to many a time, one owner cars turning into 2 or 3 , service historys that never turn up , spare wheels and radios removed from trade-in in between valuation and new car collection day..... i could go on
-
If i had a pound for every 'ebay' story i hear like that mate :angry:, the upside is that you've got a very nice car that needs a little tlc and once the niggles are sorted will stand out a mile amongst all the eurojunk around these days, the seller was obviously a t**t but karma will catch up with him one day and you can sleep at night.
-
That is the beauty of Fleabay , i don't know if i'd call the seller a t**t but we obviously have a different definition of immaculate, i despise the spray painter who turned out a job so covered in dirt inclusions , didn't even take the fogs out before painting bumper and oversprayed the wheel arch liner. Also every time i go near my wheelnuts with a wrench the wheels shed paint from the boltholes so these must have been cheaply blown over at the same time.
Anyway that is that topic covered, on reading this i don't imagine the seller will contact me and offer me a few quid as recompense so no point getting heated about it :rolleyes:
YEAH !!! Just won a mint standard steering wheel on the dreaded fleabay. :smug:
-
right next update.
I decided i'd rather take the rado over to york where my mate has his dealership and change the oil & filters whilst on a ramp and at the same time delve further into my firm ride which i had sussed actually came from the rear of car and i suspected the axle bushes, these were confirmed as completely sha**ed ,i was able to ascertain that there are a few small patches of flaking underseal but otherwise underneath include jacking points are all good.
So new vw oil filter , Quantum semi-synth, vw fuel filter were all replaced and we determined that after a visual check the 2000 mile/6 month old air filter and spark plugs were left alone ( i have since purchased some new NGK's for later )
I have also now bought some Powerflex axle bushes off this forum and am waiting for them to arrive.
I then set off back on the M62 with the motor running like a dream with oil & coolant staying in the right area on the guages.
Until i was a couple of miles from home ( thank god ) when she starting making a metallic noise from the engine bay which gained volume and the coolant guage hitting 115° . My water pump had failed probably due to the fact that the car had been unused for over 6 months when the previous owner had purchased his R32 to replace it.
So a new genuine water pump was ordered at TPS ( this was before they started messing me around and i still used them ), this duly arrived with a plastic impeller :huh: (http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/820/coolantwork123.jpg)
I then googled the pump replacement and was delighted to see what is involved due to the pump being where it is, i decided to replace the crack pipe, thermostat housings and topr radiator flange as this had a weep when pressurised when i bought it and would leave a pink trace of G12+ down the flange after a run.This flange had been made obselete two weeks earlier and i was told there were no more in stock, despite this i found one at TPS liverpool and after arguing the toss they agreed to post it to my mates dealership who had the account with TPS leeds.I then ordered the two bolts that usually sieze into the metal collars in the top of the radiator and if you are unlucky you snap the top of radiator off when trying to undo the bolts leading to a new rad :shocked:
-
(http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/1555/coolantwork16.jpg)
This is why it is a royal pita to change the pump on a rado vr6
Not a lot of room to squeeze your socket set down there eh ?
So it is off with the wheel arch liners, off with bumper
(http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/7065/coolantwork11.jpg)
Then the grille, headlamps and slam panel, radiator
(http://img863.imageshack.us/img863/6224/coolantwork19.jpg)

On removing rad i found quite a bit of surface rust on x-member and plate that holds fans behind rad so these were wire brushed, treated with rust converter and hammerited.
BEFORE : (http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/3113/coolantwork24.jpg)
AFTER: (http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/155/fanplatecalipers.jpg)
This also shows the calipers with their new coat of paint, i toyed with the idea of coloured ones but i would like to keep her as standard looking as possible.
(http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/4059/caliperrepainted.jpg)
I also decided to change the bearing on the v belt tensioner pulley with a replacement SKF bearing bought online for less than £5 delivered.
(http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/8759/vbelttensioner.jpg)
Unfortunately my overeager but under-experienced skills reared their head and in trying to torque up the reverse thread bolt that holds the pulley onto the tensioner i discovered that my cheap torque wrench doesn't work in reverse but is very good at stripping threads if that's your aim :embarassed:
-
Good work. Everyone loves a corrado, especially a vr6 :cool:

Good work. Everyone loves a corrado, especially a vr6 :cool:
For me it started when i sold the first one to be supplied by our dealership 'Gildersport' we supplied lots of Gtis, valvers, rados ,golf rallyes and we also ran the VW UK rally car with a golf rallye lhd , i was very excited when the Vr6 was delivered to us and the mechanic got so sick of me lusting over it while he pdi'd it that he told me to clear off on the pre-delivery test drive rather than him, it drove out of this world and even though it was raining and i was driving a customers brand new car respectfully it was evidently powerful, responsive yet sure footed and confidence inspiring, i told myself there and then in 1993 that i wanted one.
Having driven lots of fast and very fast motors i can say that the most fun cars i've ever driven are the Polo GT ( not the dangerous G40 ) the Fiat 127 Sport i passed my test in, Nova GTEs were good fun as well as the mk2 Ibiza Cupra Sport 16v and last but not least the Corrado VR6.
The Ferrari 360 modena and 348TB i threw round a race track were quick but required absolute concentration and were not nearly so much fun.
By the way i've driven many Audi A8 Quattro too, these were v.quick but enormous !
-
I would consider selling the A8 to get a decent low mileage corrado, i've always wanted one :smiley:
-
Now seems the time to get one buddy, they are as cheap as ever !
The low mileage bit is tough though, depends on what you call low mileage i suppose, i consider my 104,000 miler to be low but htere was one up for sale a while ago with 45,000 miles on it with fsh to back it up, mind you he was asking £14,000 for it which is mental even to a Corrado lover such as me.
-
I think finding a rust free example would be difficult now, that's a positive about the A8, aluminium so no rust..
-
True , but does your mobile get a signal while in it :grin: :laugh:
-
Anyway i got hold of a tensioner from a nice bloke in wolverhampton and picked it up while visiting the outlaws. was assured that the bearing was good but this make a racket when installed so swapped my bearing onto it, to be fair it was silky smooth spinning on your finger so appeared ok but it wasn't a big problem as i had my new one to fit to it, i fitted it and just manually judged the torque on the bolt.It runs quiet as a mouse now ( how quiet does a mouse run exactly ? )
I also replaced the v-belt with a Contitech belt from ECParts as TPS wanted a fortune in comparison and cotinental make the genuine belts anyway.
So on with the pump and coolant pipe etc, i had ordered all the thermostat parts , housings , o'rings, bolts and pipe from TPS wanting to go genuine as they weren't ridiculously expensive but after being told on the phone they had arrived i made the 8 mile each way trip to their halifax / bradford site i was informed that an accountant had refused the order as my mates account that i use to order TPS parts is with the Leeds branch and even though they are the same company he/she wasn't happy with that arrangement . God i love accountants, they know the cost of everything and the value of f**k all !
So i said, no problem invoice me the bits with no discount and i'll pay cash, OK he says ,what did you order ?
The accountant had cancelled the order leaving no trace of it and as it is done over the phone with me referring to Etka for the part numbers i couldn't possibly remember all the details just like that :angry: I went home and ordered a Topran kit off t'internet and saved about £20 as well ( i had taken the genuine thermostat though from TPS )
They had also not got in my top rad flange bolts so this took another visit to be told that they had got them in but then promptly lost one of them. This was the point at which i gave up on them, after reading all the impressive company mission statements adorning the walls in reception i would have expected more from them but how many times can you deal with them when they've let you down and no-one at their end seemed bothered / embarrassed.
So i go next door to Halifax VW who get me the bolt for the following morning and also offer for me to go thru their obsolete stock bin following their stock-take they were just finishing.A nicer pair of blokes you couldn't hope to meet and they told they regularly got people in with stories similar to mine re TPS.
The following day i went back and picked out a new radiator temp sensor, oil filter housing,a litre of gear oil and several bags of torx and hex bolts & screws from their old stock pile which they refused any payment for, top guys who will get my business in future, especially as they said they would do deals on any parts i wanted with the % depending on the margin.

To get to the pump you have to loosen the front & rear engine mounts and with a block of wood on jack lift the sump up on the angle to give you access to the bolts , like this :
(http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/1079/coolantwork119.jpg)
(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5948/coolantwork118.jpg)
Which gives you this :
(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/1101/coolantwork124.jpg)
New pump in place and new v-belt routed round lower pulleys:
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/5203/coolantwork127.jpg)
Next, thermostat and housing which is in three parts :
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3231/coolantwork130.jpg)
Of course the rear most allen key headed bolt on the housing rounded off and i had to smash the old housing up and get it out with locking pliers
(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4818/coolantwork129.jpg)
I took this photo to remind myself of order of sensors
(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/7287/coolantwork113.jpg)
Crack pipe just slides out and new one slides in
(http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/2592/coolantwork112.jpg)
You are left with a bag of bits like this:
(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/4601/coolantwork131.jpg)
I reconnected radiator , filled it with just H20 and checked for leaks - oh ye of little faith - ran it up to temp and the top rad flange pee'd everywhere, i dismantled it CAREFULLY and realised i'd re-used the seal and left the old one in my toolbox, so that was soon sorted and re-tested with no probs on 2nd run.Drained again and re-filled with G12++ / H2O mix.
(http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/7168/coolantwork26.jpg)
Time to re-assemble, now which bolt went where ?
(http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/1985/coolantwork27.jpg)
She now runs at a steady 90° normal running rising to 105° in traffic or on m/way so i'm happy with that, there is still a slight noise from pulley side and i think the alternator bearing is perhaps running a bit dry.

In the first pics I can see a rather nice Passat :grin: :grin:
Suppose I should help with some pic's (from the day you bought her!)

So next job was to replace the worn pedal covers
Here are the nice shiny new ones, genuine of course, we could always suss out the aftermarket ones that used a harder less grippy rubber and fitted badly :

And the new ones :

These were far easier to fit than i expected , i do remember our mechanics swearing at these and how awkward they were to stretch over the pedals.
Another satisfying cheap improvement, gearknob and steering wheel next, i did buy a gearknob from TPS a while back but as they list several and you can't see them before you order them it isn't the right one, i think it's from a G60 and late Mk2 Gti
Here it is with the rest of the order , pedal covers, rad top flange, door card clips, and sunroof grease ( how bl**dy much !!!!! )
(http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/3563/partsorder.jpg)
On that point, does anyone have a guide to greasing the sunroof ?
-
The next test to my amateur mechanicing skills was the day the door handle let go and i heard a clunk as part of the lever fell into the door, bu**er !
On seeing the mental prices being asked for second hand ones that would probably be of a similar vintage and therefore liable to break at any point without warning i ordered a passat handle conversion kit from Germany and a couple of new topran handles from Fleabay, these were listed as for a Passat 1988 - 1996 which of course with hindsight is daft because when the B3 became the B4 in around 1993 the handles were changed inside and out , outwardly they resemble the Golf Mk3 handles and the fixing screw is much further recessed than the earlier model, so the seller apologised and ordered me the correct ones on a special order, these took a month to arrive and were for the front rather than the rears i'd ordered to have a de-locked look but it was easy peasy to swap my barrels over , they came with locks & keys but i don't like to see 2 or 3 sets of keys to a car.
The handles cost £7.99 per side + £3 delivery and the conversion kit was £27 delivered.

(http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/959/doorhandleconversion4.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/809/doorhandleconversion4.jpg/)
This is the old lever alongside the fitted new one, you can see the difference between Passat & Corrado handles.

(http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/5659/doorhandleconversion1.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/692/doorhandleconversion1.jpg/)
After drilling the first pin out that holds the lever into the handle mechanism i found out that with the right small screwdriver i could spin the pin round then put the driver on an agle to grip the pin and pull it out, the levers come with new solid pins.
My door now opens with the solidity of a new car, after a month of reaching across from the passanger side that is a relief.
Filled with a new sense of purpose i now removed the seats, wetvac'd the whole interior , carpets ,seats and boot, i cleaned the rooflining with carpet cleaner in a spray bottle using a cloth, the linings come unstuck as it is without wetting them through so it was safer this way.
I don't think the car had been valeted in well over a decade !
I could have built an extension on the house using the sand i found in the spare wheel well and behind the rear arch carpets :shocked:
Then a new set of genuine carpet mats went down, i discovered one of the rear quarter panel interior trims was coming unglued so i removed it , glued the vinyl back in place , covered it in clothes pegs until it dried and then re-fitted it, good as new !
Next i treated all the rubber parts , door seals etc with Autoglym rubber and vinyl which left me whith nice clean rubber and a very dirty cloth .
Sorry i have no photos of these bits but some things are just too boring to show, and stopping to take a photo every few mins really strings out the job don(t you find :grin:
-
To do list :
Rear brakes are corroded and seized, the handbrake is very dodgy, took the rear calipers from our kids old passat before the pikeys took it but one of the piston seals was split and after pricing up the service kit from TPS at over £50 trade :lipsrsealed: i have bought a new genuine Mk4 Golf nearside one off Fleabay and am looking for the other side now
(http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/8379/rearbrakes.jpg)
Must get the paintwork fettled, the fuel filler neck is just starting and there is a stone chip bleb on the arch and drivers door as shown:
(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/7595/rustblebs2.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/199/rustblebs2.jpg/)

Also when i took the wheel arch liners off to get to bumper bolts for pump job the liner cracked the filler in the front wing which i believe was part of the wonderful paint jo done to sell the car by the previous owner, i have now acquired a couple of replacement wings to sort this in due course, just need to find a bodyshop , i thought i'd found one but the job they've done recently on my daily came back showing fantastic panel beating skills but there were a couple of runs and masking marks on the edge of the panel which is dissapointing although i did rush them :embarassed:
