Corrado 20v 1.8T

[2OVT]

I was talking more with your wiring inquires then the order, and I think you've ordered the correct ones.

Oh, ok haha I hope they are the right ones

As I recall - there is only a bushing on one end. I'll look up what I ordered for my rack tonight for you.

That big box with all the connectors - That is the comfort control module: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VOLKSWAGEN-J...8148%26ps%3D54

Ok, just wanted to be sure before I place an order from BBM for the bushing.

and thanks for the identification, don't think I'll be needing any of this anti-theft crap

someone has to answer my tie rod question. I cannot seem to find any specific 'trw' tie rod for the g60...I've read that the ZF tie rods will thread into the TRW rack but will leave a slight gap(some have used a M13 washer to fill this gap?). I really don't know what to do with these damn tie rods right now-

[jettag60]

Yes, i went to the junk yard and pulled wiring/connectors from a Mk3 ( CE2 ) and wired it in.

Only because i wanted to maintain a untouched Corrado VR6 harness,

did you get to keep the MFA function of the cluster?

you're vr6 and the OP (and I) are coming from G60 cars where the MFA is built into the engine harness (oil. ambient temp, and i believe VSS)

Check the rack, its stamped where the steering knuckle goes in.. we cant answer for you, you have the car.

MFA is MFA, Dosnt matter if its a VR or a G60, the function is in the Cluster.

So yes, i ran a few NEW wires through the harness to maintain the MFA.

I have it figured out now

i understand that, what i was asking is how you wired up the sensors...but you answered that anyways

still waiting on-
poly p/s rack bushing
powerflex subframe poly bushings
cross member bushings

going to begin removal of g60 tonight or tomorrow- send subframe, cross member, control arms, hub assembley and valve cover for blasting and coating.
hopefully it'll all be in by the second week of May.

[2OVT]

got some inspiration today and began removal of my g60



then I found this



I'm assuming this can be welded, but since it is aluminum...will it be as strong as it was before?

should I start looking for a new bell housing or tranny? I really hate to junk this one as it only has about 22K on it since the it was rebuilt

[V-TEC this!!!]

I had mine welded and it has been holding up for the last 6 years.

Just make sure when you get it welded to have it bolted to the front engine mount bracket.

[ml1986]

Were do you get those red spark plug wires? Been looking everywere for it to go on my 90" rado

Thanks!

I tried ebay but only found blue ones.

[coatofarms]

Looking good man! Thats a great deal on the parts car. Are those style blocks drilled/tapped to accept the oe motor mounts?

Any pictures of yours welded?

Yes, 058/09A blocks still have the same mounting holes as previous generations. I believe this is due to parts of the world still using the oe rear early mount in an NA 20v 1.8 Skoda IIRC

[V-TEC this!!!]

I dont have any pictures atm. I'm studying abroad so I wont be able to get any until mid July, at which point if you still need them I will be more than happy to take some.

[2OVT]

can anyone help me figure out what these two ??'s are...

the first ??' is actually a 5-pin connector and goes to this-


and goes to this pump deal behind the power steering rack-

what is this?

second one near the starter connector and a/t connector there is a 6-pin rectangle connector; colors are-
slot 1: no pin
slot 2: red/yellow
slot 3: black/green
slot 4: violet/black
slot 5: white/black
slot 6: brown
slot 7: yellow/blue
slot 8: no pin

[2OVT]

test fitting engine in today, hopefully get this wiring figured out...I'm a newb

[2OVT]

do werk and brake ****



Corrado is now de-g60'ed

on the unfortunate end- I accidentally tried to take my p/s line off with the lock nut and this happen

not sure how I am going to fix this

and I THINK I might of accidentally broke my speedo cable, can anyone tell? I took this one off by the top too





F%&#!!

last but not least, I noticed my flanges kinda moved in and out a tad- is this normal? or is something worn?





that is it for today

edit: also, I was told the car had the ABS deleted, which I could find no connectors for- but it still has ABS hubs. I forgot to order hubs, so I will be doing this in the next week- my question is: do I still need ABS hubs or can I order non-ABS hubs and they'll fit no problem? I was told the axles may be different?

[2OVT]

Not much of an update- sold my g60 engine/charger/ecu for a decent chunk of change- need more funds.

did get around to inspecting a few things and cleaning. found my front motor mount bracket is F'ed so I have to source another. Should be installing clutch and tranny and slapping it in by the end of the week depening what day I get my core support, sub frame, control arms, cross member/rad support to the powder coater...but by the end of this coming weekend she should be in

the buzzkill


oh hey, don't look so bad.

and pretty ghey

[hallkbrd]

^^ Weld another layer of sheet steel on the bottom. That should cure the crack/spit problem there (has on mine).

[2OVT]

I was considering that, but I'm just gonna source out another... this ones already been reinforced and it seems bent too- so f' it!

[2OVT]

today's agenda-

[2OVT]

ordered my set of these- Wagen Wheels WW1, 16x9 4x100 et 25.

Common problem on g-60s ave it rewelded and reinforced. I used one from a b4 2.0l Passat with no problems but have been told that the angle is wrong.

The mount has already been reinforced and cracked again. Just going to source a new one. The angle is also different from the 9A Passat, but should still work.

[HavokRuels]

Yep those mount just plain out suck. I say it's time for a 5/32 chromoly custom mount. Hell maybe even 1/4 inch lol

[2OVT]

as for now...I have found a new mount. Considering having one machined.

wondering how the diagnostics port, CEL light and DBW wiring went. I am assuming I can chop off my DBW connector and wiring and solder wire to that and feed the other end into the blue plug for DBW?

edit: have removed plugs F, G1 and G2...still working on S. I noticed from that harness there is a single brown wire with a white stripe that connects into a male/female connector brown wire with white stripe that runs to another plug. What is this(assuming it's a ground for something) Then there was a single blue wire with white stripe with a connector end but I don't think it was plugged into anything...I couldn't see another single wire connector it plugged into...what is this blue/white one? and a single solid yellow with a black connector end that was tucked in there...what is this too?

That will show you what you need to know, And you've Slid the locking section at the back of the fuse panel releasing the locks on the pressure clips, right?

Also, yes, i just snipped and soldered the wires together for the DBW, and wired the CEL wire to the K line that was already in the car.

No, I never slid a locking deal...hopefully I didn't brake anything.

and I believe I have K-line as my car is a 90 g60 which came with no MIL/CEL light.

[2OVT]

found the locking clip- holy cow do they come out easy... only one I can't get out now to remove the harness is the 5 or 6 wires that run to the #90 relay at the top of the fuse box, how do I remove these?

[AmIdYfReAk]

Mine didnt have a CEL, i installed one... But you have the K-line access in front of the shifter to flash for codes. ( Or use vag-com with the new ECU )

Again, G60's didn't have this function.

Still can't get relay #90 out to pull the harness to begin splicing... anyone help?

[AmIdYfReAk]

So your telling me, when you remove your shifter base, there isn't the white and black plugs there?

[2OVT]

Yup, no plugs. The early g60's didn't come with any sort of line to communicate to ISO 9141.

Wheels came!
