I've had my corrado for about 7 years. Lately there has been a problem with it. I replaced the broken supercharger, and the new one broke within a matter of days. I don't know what happened, can someone help me?


My Corrado

It was 1996 and I was walking through the college car park when I saw a Red Corrado and instantly fell in love with the beautiful shape and look of the VW Coupe. Only when I finally got round to buying a Corrado in September 2008 did I realise the coincidence of my 'love at first sight'-ing as I found that my newly purchased Corrado was registered in the same year I first saw one. I know I probably paid a bit over the odds for my Corrado, but it was mint and it was exactly what I wanted, so who's to tell me how much to pay for something I'd wanted for 12 years. It has black leather interior with heated seats, sunroof, electic windows etc and compaired to the Peugeot 306 Diesel I had at the time, it didn't have an accelerator - it had a hyper space pedal. The bloke I bought it from is a VW Mechanic who had been head hunted and was moving to Germany. It has loads of paperwork and all the vital work had been done. When I handed over the deposit, the owners Dad opened a bottle of champayne and gave me and my girlfriend a glass. Nice. Since then the car has a few bits that I've added to my 'to-do' list to get her back up to the scratch. The reason for me starting this Jo... read more

Corrado




well i finally become a member of the corrado family, yesterday i purchased my first corrado, i owned a 01 jetta before but thats about it, i always liked the shape of the corrados and now im loving the driving part. it's new territory for me and on top o that, all the badges on the car are gone, came with no manuals, no door jam stickers, no nothing. Aside from the blown g charger obvious by the huge missing chunk from the top of it, missing stereo, speakers, messed up shocks, wire showing on tires,rusted through the hatch door, i see true potential. This is gonna be a long hard adventure but i'm gonna love every minute of it Aloha!!

Got the car back from the garage today, my guess was right - the injector o-rings were shot and must have been leaking like hell. The car feels like twice as fast. I need to get it out on the highway to see if it fixed the overrun problem too. Feeling a lot more confident for the trip to Oregon in a couple weeks. Finally got some nice weather so I picked up some 1/8 vac tee fittings and plumbed the boost gauge into a fresh 10cm x 3.5mm FPR line, reading 15 inHg vac at idle and about 5 psi when I floor it in neutral. Living downtown it might be a while before I can open it up on the road and see what the max boost really is. My neon orange 3.5mm vac line from Hose Techniques kinda rules, I'll have to go and replace everything now. Got a bunch of PVC fittings at Home Depot for building a pressure tester and an old valve stem from my local shop. I'll take lots of pics and do a write-up after I pressure test my system.


Spring Cleaning On The Corrado

C2kit 640x365




Finally getting around to a lot of stuff I've been meaning to do. Taking it into the shop for new injector o-rings tomorrow, hopefully that will fix the overrun problem. Either that or a bad vac line somewhere? Started on the boost gauge install and carbon canister delete. Need to tee into the FPR hose to get a proper reading, just got to find my hose supplies box around here... Finished upgrading wiper springs to some generic cot springs. Will report if they finally fix the "crappy wipers" problem. Taking some pics for an article. I want to install my E-codes and Eurowires harness before the Oregon camping trip too. Supposed to have some good weather this weekend so I guess I'll be out back in the alley working on the car with the binners!

I Love This Car Needs A Nick Though




I've had this car a week, and I think I have re-defined a love for a car. The only other vehicle I enjoyed this much was a Challenger. (Can't recall the year, but it's cousin was the Plymouth Sapporo) But I actually enjoy this car more. I am looking at different things to do to it, starting with fully restoring it to factory specs, and then upping the Supercharger a little, Heading over to Neuspeed to see what they recommend, and finding a few other little toys for it. Stereo will be a custom thing, as well as the paint. I'm thinking I like the black paint, so it'll stay black. Will most likely add a single racing stripe up the driver's side, but that stripe will not be the standard "big fat line" as most cars have. I want the stripe to have a distinctly Tribal look to it. The supercharger was blown by the previous owner, so I'll either be looking for a repair kit or some kind, or (hopefully) find one in a pull-it-apart yard somewhere. Came across this site as I was browsing for Corrado related things, and thought "what the hell" Here I am. I put the key in the ignition, and...... There I go!

Datenbank




Hello friends of this Register and Corrado drivers, The Register has changed. After 6 years of my own hard work entering and publishing each of the 1600 entries the work is complete. The Register has a database and every user is responsible for their own entry. The new login for old entries works as follows: Your email address used in your entry is of great importance. Click the button REGISTER NOW. Enter your data. Once the registration is complete you'll receive an email in which you will have to confirm your registration. Only then can you log in. During registration (or the first login) all vehicles entered by a user will be assigned to that user. This works through the email identifier. For this purpose you must enter the same email address during login which you have originally provided to the Register. Because you have to confirm the registration by email, you have then also confirmed your email address. This ensures that only the right Sciroccos end up in a user's profile. At a later date you can using the management tool modify your data, club, HP, VIN, attach a picture of your Scirocco, etc. There is folder for uploading your picture. The picture will automa... read more
