Yah...you'll get it worked out. Always a few bugs here and there. Others have had FAR worse...

Yeap... ABF was an MKIII motor if I remember correctly.

I'll be offloading my 9a in the spring.

Hiya,

I'm 12 miles NW of Exeter, but my parents live in Redruth so I'm down there fairly often.

That said, the TDI rado is just about dead now so there's not much to look at. The engine uses almost as much oil as diesel, blowing it out of every gasket and coating the underneath, drivers side and rear of the car in filthy black muck

An 8" deep pothole claimed one of the alloys, the tyre, and rear shock, so it handles like a kangaroo and has odd wheels on. The MoT and tax run out in April, and I'm just fed up of constantly fixing it, so it's getting mothballed for now. Thats Corrados for you tho :cry:

I've bought an Audi V8 Quattro now instead. 22mpg is a price worth paying for that lovely V8 rumble!

Will the corrado be coming up for sale....?

No sorry :wink: It'll be going under a tarp until I can be bothered with it again. You wouldn't want it in it's current state anyway - it really is a total disaster area. Plus I have far too much time and money in it to give up on it completely.

After a while of nice, reliable, comfy & quiet Audi motoring I might get motivated to break a few more nails on it, but not for a while.

I've pretty much given up on looking for a head separately now, i'll probably buy another engine complete
Do you need a block? I have an ahu block complete, i.e block, crank and pistons. Its got 125k on it, its from an ibiza, and I used the head in my last golf where it was perfect.
It has sat in a shed for about a year now though so will need a clean up, not wanting much for it
