Looking for semi dependable first car for my daughter. I would like to not have to do major repairs (outside...

    1991 Corrado G60

    That is what I am doing, but mine will be "1Z" The mods done to my B4 where enough to make me smile, all those torks in the lighter nimbler Corrado, will be that much more enjoyable.. Although my Stage 4 G60 was no slouch..... Did someone say B4 part out?:)

    1991 Corrado G60

    "Stalled on me" is pretty vague. Especially followed by "n never tried to fix it" On my first 90 Corrado, I had a hall sender issue on the distributer. Sometimes it wouldn't start or sputter while running, I just disconnected the plug and reconnected it and I could continue on till...

    strut and control arm removal sequence

    It has been a few years since I rebuilt my front end and replaced the bushings and bearings etc. (I did install the TT rear bushings) Since you didn't mention if you are replacing the tie rods or not, I would do the control arms first, let the strut support the weight of the brake rotor, hub...

    R32 TDI conversion for sale

    You Passat is running and has a warranty, has more space and can be financed. Can't say that about this R32 TDI. I also tried to rationalize this car. Unless I get large stocking full of Benjamin's for Christmas, it is to be a wish list car for most of us. A hell of a car for sure though...

    Request for advice on engine removal vs exhaust manifold removal

    The biggest obstacle in accessing the exhaust and intake manifold is the EGR cooler. With that out of the way, you can get to the intake, downpipe to turbo connection, oil lines and what not. I bought a couple of EGR block of plates a Corrado heater hose and your set. You will have access to...

    Wheel bearing...or something else?

    His issue appeared to be a stuck caliper, not the screw. I have had a broken screw on my Corrado b4 and it never caused a problem with noise or braking whatsoever. Admittedly it makes trying to line up the wheel and bolt it to the hub a PITA if the rotor isn't secure to the hub. But other...

    B4 Thermostat replacement - What the h&ll??

    I did it recently (middle of winter) working on the ground. I did it the way Bruce recommends above. Pull the bracket, drop the pump, new flange. Although I did have some trouble getting the pump back in the upper bracket\bottom of the IP IIRC. Gave me a bear of a time. But I had just finished...

    Loss of Throttle issue on my B4 today

    Thanks Tom, That is basically what I saw before the rains came and I had to put it back together. Although I didn't get the boot pulled down all the way and I couldn't figure out how to get the harness "shroud" off and I didn't want to break it. Any trick to removing it? Also once I get to the...

    Loss of Throttle issue on my B4 today

    No I did not look inside the wire bundle. I was looking for the wrong thing then. I was looking for something attached to the car body. After I cleaned the four grounding points and installed my new glow plug harness. I took it out for about a half hour or so. No symptoms or codes. Tomorrow I...
