GTIKole's 90 Corrado build. Back again.

[GTIKole.]

Small update.
I went out to the garage this morning and got the hood on and the hood latches/ release all setup properly again. Also just threw a filter I had laying around on until I can find one that I really like.

Love seeing you back at it again Kole! Loved your MKV, followed you since haha.

Red Corrados with US-spec front really do it for me and it's looking perfect on the 16s.

Thanks man. The new wheels are 15's but they look great with either. I just love 15's on early & mid 90's VW's

Not many corrado builds on SW, nice to see this. Your mkv and mkIII were lights out.

Thanks man! Just trying to build something I enjoy.

Ok so small not so fun update...
I drove the car to both jobs and around yesterday since it was such a nice day out. It gave me no issues and was pulling really hard and just being a blast.

I went to get some food on the way home. Of course the link took forever and sat there for 10-15mins. Started to notice the car was getting hot so I went to shut it off and BAM! Heater core broke and threw hot coolant on my right ankle giving me a pretty good burn and all over the center console and floor boards. Pushed the car home, I was only 2 blocks away. Got home and got the shop vac and tried to clean everything out the best I could and dry off everything. Went ahead and pulled the dash and heater box from the car.

For now the heater is staying out of the car So i can trace some smaller wiring issues and get the cooling system beater figured out up front. I bypassed the heater core, put fresh coolant in and started the engine. It sounds fine so that is plus but after all this I now have a throttle that seems to get stuck wide open. No idea why.

Hopefully have the car back together for saturday so I can drive and test more minus the heater box.

[fackinsteve]

Fuck that! I would be pissed if that happened to me

[hinrichs]

Damn dude that sucks. I have always been worried about the heater core doing that in all the mk3s I had.

I mean I was not wearing a huge smile the rest of the night and my ankle does not feel great today but what can you do? Things happen when you full change a system of a car. I'm more worried about the throttle issue than anything right now.

I have never worried about it until now haha
I debated removing the heater/ air box when I was in the middle of the build. Guess it just made it's own mind up.

[Zachariah666]

Love all your builds dude! Great work!

[GTIKole.]

Love all your builds dude! Great work!

Thanks man.

Found a few pictures of driving around hours before the heater core melt down from a local guy.
