I think I may still have one from my donorLet me know if you uncover anymore cabin filter setups
My knowledge of the Corrado is almost zilch, but I would guess that it might take the B4 cabin filter or the Mk3 cabin filter. If I had to guess which to try first it would be the B4 but who knows. The Mk3 is the same as the Mk4 so who knows. To the best of my knowledge every B4 brought to the US got the cabin filter.Let me know if you uncover anymore cabin filter setups
Corrado shares the 'foliage screen' with Mk2 so you'll have to source a cabin filter from a Mk2 (which is rare). Mk3/4 is different I think and I know that B4 is different from Mk3/4.Let me know if you uncover anymore cabin filter setups
When? lol! I dug it up pretty much right when we were PMing back n forth about it! It's just chilling here on my desk for nowThe Corrado is very closely related to the Passat b3/b4 I'm planning to get one from GTItdi to confirm.

Yes, seemed the most logical since the cluster is almost identical with the B3 and the intent here was to make it look like a factory install. I had originally toyed with the idea of going with the Mk3 cluster but scrapped that for the B4 type.You went with a B4 cluster?
It's no fun, but I've found that a section of vacuum tubing from the central locking system works better than fish tapes or stiff wires. It's flexible enough in all directions yet stiff enough to push through restrictions some distance away.I've done that rear fog wiring on a Corrado before, YUCK!
Thanks for the advice, I will definitely take the time to do this before reinstall. I've checked out the posts in the Mk3/B4 forum for where people have installed them. I'll be looking at the exh manifold more closely today for that and getting a probe ordered.Definitely put a pyro probe in now! It's extremely hard to do later. You want the probe right in the center of the exhaust flow as close to the turbine inlet as possible.
I know you are talking about just drilling and putting a plug in but I'd really recommend getting a probe. It's hard to know exactly where it is going to end up if you're just trying to stab it in later. Even if you don't know what you want for a gauge you can get a probe, they are all k-type thermocouples.
I have an Auber Instrument probe, I'm quite happy with it. Aircraft Spruce is another good source, they have their "micro" probes. You want one that is small in diameter, no more than 1/8". Some probes are much thicker than that and have a very slow response time as a result.
I have their EGT probe running to my standalone VNT controller. I've got two of their gauges too that I'm using for oil temperature and oil pressure. They fit right between the radio and the heating controls on my Mk3.Something to consider: http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=230
I like the idea of installing the gauge in one of the blanks in the center dash. Unfortunately that was where I was intending to install a bracket to support the scangauge 2. I may have to reroute the scangauge to another location now.Something to consider: http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=230
That's not something I had thought of but you're right, it goes right over the area where I was most likely to install it. I'll reattach the turbo to see if there's a better location that gets it out from under the oil line.When you tap the manifold for the EGT, make sure you know where everything goes on it. I did mine years ago and thought it was the perfect spot until I attached the turbo oil feed line. Now I have to remove that line to remove the probe. No big deal since it stays in place, but it's something to consider.
