1993 Volkswagen Corrado 16v review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Jerking when driving off after a nights storage. Was rectified by cleaning distributor contacts and splashing WD40 onto rotor, HT leads (both ends) and coil. 5 min job.
After dropping the standard 2 litre lump and swopping it out for an overbored 2.2 ported, gas flowed uprated cam, balanced crank jobbie, this baby beats the pants off any RS/Uno/Alfa etc that's been at the receiving end of the fat supersprint blower at the rear of it. Superb Karmaan styling. Unrivalled VeeDub build quality and handling, esp after uprating the drivetrain and braking system with group N suspension/discs/pads/clutch.
General comments?
FORD users eat your hearts out, this Vee Dub's here to stay.
Only one better than this is a VR6...
