Manufacture Date: 1994 Owner: pepperuk from United Kingdom, Heart Of England Colorcode: LK4U (Icegrey violet pearl effect was delivered from 1994 till 1995) Bought on date: October 2008
Information / Adjustments : Well this is my wee beastie 'Charlie' formerly owned by my husband she is now owned and loved by me...
My first corrado and one that I will own for a long time to come. Hubby put alot of working hours into her she is a dream to drive and own. A far cry from my little KA which is now owned by my mother in-law.
Sadly having a water leak I had to change the thermastat housing and managed to resolve the problem.
In the last few days had a rattling sound, concerned that it was my cam chain I stripped her down to take a good look at to the cause of the noise. On closer inspection the chain tensioner had failed and needed replacing. All done and sounding quite good on warming up after a fairly tame run, she has a knocking sound and rattles slightly not as bad....ho hum, the old girl is showing her age.
So time has come for a engine rebuild I think or maybe even a replacement engine.
So any comments on a 24V engine? or even a 2.8 VW Golf engine? obviously obtainability is the question too.
