They're just a big like Lego for adults so once you get to know the corrado platform you kind of know it for the other models of the era too.
So the G60's (and Corrados in general) were used a lot to convert MK1 & MK2 golfs before 1.8T's became popular, I think it's why there's not many G60's left as you previously mentioned. If you did end up keeping it might you be tempted to do the 16V G60 like your mate has with his MK2? 😉

Haha yes I remembered that as I posted it so removed the misinformation, as i said never did it to mine. When my old G40 was sold to a friend he put a mini's M45(?) on it I believe, took the old G lader apart and was full of curse word. He had been lubing it! It's nice to see someone working on a G60 in a corrado as they always just got used as donors.

What is the gearbox code on your spare one? It should be stamped into it on a machined flat area near ish where the starter bolts up. 3 digit code.
I had a quick look tonight for interior bits and I think I must have got rid of a lot of it when I moved workshops. The only interior trim plastics I could find were the centre console/exhaust tunnel ones you had pictured. Minus the clip in bit that surrounds the gear stick, could possibly find it if I had a better look. It's free if you want it, its grey though so would want painting to look nice. I'm in Yorkshire in varying places.
Indicators/hazards not working is usually the indicator stalk being faulty on CE2 vehicles. Well, if your relay tests to be okay that is. There's a few connectors working backwards from the indicators themselves that you can test with a power probe, will dig out the diagram if you need it.
Regarding your light switch, sounds like it/part of the circuit is back feeding ignition live to your fusebox. Had this a few times on mk2 golfs, with varying fixes from dash switches being on the wrong way around to bad earths under the dash. You can pry the switch just far enough off the plug to get your multimeter in there, so you can check which pins are giving 12v with it switched on and trace from there with the diagram
I'm sure you were aware but there is a central locking tab you have to push to the side to allow the plugs to release, sounds like they were giving you a hard time! Not sure if that pic you took of your fusebox is finished but you're missing the bridge piece from spade 30 to 30B and your yellow Z1 injector plug isn't back in, guessing that's been done if it's running though haha

Okay I will have a look tomorrow and see what I've got
I know you say you're not a fan of vw's normally but the Corrado is an incredible car. The handling is brilliant & they're easy to work on. Agreed it's a shame about the price of specific parts now, but it's the same with anything retro and sought after really isn't it!
If you end up using it as your daily a taller 5th gear is easy to swap in with gearbox end plate removed whilst still in the car, just a bit better for cruising speeds. Also if you find the gearshift a bit like stirring a bowl of porridge on the 02a, the 02j shifter tower for the gearbox & cables give a nice tight shift ffeel. Cheap and readily available from early mk4 golf/mk1 leon/mk1 octavia tdi's, ibiza/polo, mk2 caddy van tdi etc.

What interior parts do you need? Have a bunch of random interior parts in the shed!

It's coming on well! It's odd watching various american Youtube channels seeing these engines turboed all over the place, then seeing one in a UK car (that's tiny!). How much power will that turbo be good for? Or should I say is your complete setup good for?

"The switch in the dashboard in the video, no I don't know what it does - it has power but turning it on/off makes no difference lol.'
PLEASE can you trace where the wiring goes, my curiosity is piqued. As I've said before if you get stuck with the wiring let me know, I don't log in often but the mystery switch is of upmost importance. You might be switching someones lights on and off somewhere via bluetooth, you never know.

Check the continuity of the red/yellow power wires from the pumps to pin E/14 on the fusebox plug end (both pumps share same power feed that splits up, so should have continuity between both pumps & E/14) (Look up CE1 A2 resource for a good fusebox layout). You should be getting continuity, if not you have a broken wire most likely.
Given that you're getting 10V at the lift pump (which is too low either way), I presume E/14 is giving power. So can assume fuel pump relay is ok. But a quick check, remove fuel pump relay and bridge spades 30 & 87 on the fusebox, fuel pumps should come on constantly.
It basically goes like this: Fuel pump relay is triggered by your ignition control unit, relay feeds power to pin E/14 on fusebox
(12V feed) E/14-- (red/yellow wire) --> T2 plug, after this it splits red/yellow power feed to the lift pump & under body pump
(Earth) - To D/22 --(brown wire) --> T2 plug, after this it splits the brown earth wire to the lift pump & under body pump.
Also check that D/22 earth wires for the pumps are getting continuity to battery -ve. Let me know your findings so can delve deeper if it's not a bad earth or broken 12v feed wire.

Hello, Happy New Year everyone. Just a quick one, haven't made a forum thread in ages & just wondered who people were hosting their images with? Sorry if this has been covered properly, I did use the search function but info was quite fragmented. Preferably one with an android app, if that's a thing. Cheers

Don't need a working speedo to see that it shifts! That's a nice amount of power for a daily too, bet it will be surprising a lot of modern tech especially after a manual swap. That's the thing I love about the 5 pots, even with a 'quiet' exhaust you can still clearly hear that 5 pot burble, sounds great.

Phwoar! I bet that's fun then. Yep, manual definitely needed! There's no thread up for it, he's not really a forum goer. It's got the 5 cylinder AAN you mention, just on with removing an old 90's immobiliser and some other wiring fixes. Also updating to tfsi coilpacks etc. Can you get a video up of how yours moves & of course the engine note? Or at least the latter Fair play though, nothing wrong with good old K-jet. Quite a nice thing to see as well, gives it that much more character. Used to have fun eeking more power out of old 8v and 16v mk2 golf engines with it using basic tools

I like photos like that, if it wasn't for the improved photo quality- you wouldn't know what decade it had been taken in since the cars came out! (Not taking into account the MK5 alloys, but still!)
Any plans for upping the power, or is that after you do your manual conversion? Doing some work on a friends early 90's S4 recently which is based on the later Audi 100 i believe, this'll be it's predecessor? Such well built cars!

Ah damn, qpeng is a problem! I could have been of help had it been the Vag ecu setup! Are you not tempted to run oem vw management? So from the broken off plug, if you set your multimeter to 2k ohms and see what reading it gives you between the yellow and white wire? Just to see if it was a previous issue, although having said that it would have not allowed the car to start had it been.
Coilpack wise the early AGU bolt down style are pretty reliable, infact probably the best of the bunch. Are all your earths good? If you turn your ignition on and see if you get a voltage reading between pins 1 & 4 on the coilpacks.
That's the problem with qpeng looms now, they are getting on a bit and there's not a huge amount of info on them kicking about anymore, the site doesn't exist any more either. Also from past experience I've not seen a good cold start mapped one yet, plus the fact they don't run knock sensors or a MAF?
But yeah check your ecu relay and bridge it if need be to rule that out. Does the fuel pump prime when you turn the ignition on?

Don't go throwing parts at it just yet! I make looms for these so can help diagnose the specific problem. A quick test to do is bridge the ecu relay pins 30 & 87. See if it fires up then. If not, are you running DBW or cable throttle & what's your engine code? I'll give you some pinouts to check.
Also, get your mulitmeter on the crank position sensor plug, ignore the black wire as that's shielding, but you should get a reading of around 900 ohms for a healthy sensor between the brown and white wires. (Colours may vary). What reading do you get?

Lovely car. Bet the noise never gets old!
There's a millionaire property developer who lives down the dale from me, he used to absolutely drive the sh*t out of his M5 E34. He now does the same with his (2nd) E39 M5! I guess when you're that wealthy an expensive fast car to us, can be a daily hack! You should see it, mismatched rear wheels, half missing front bumper (he blasts across the moors road like no tomorrow, so I'm guessing it was a sheep)

This is looking glorious* in its outlandish style. Massive shame the orange one was too rotten, that could've made an impressive track beast. *Gloria-s What box can you use for a manual conversion? New wheels look sweet!
