Volkswagen Corrado: All You Need To Know 

Jonathan Chohan ya I wouldn’t sell it! Keep it and enjoy the car! I wish I did that with my old R32

Oh wow that’s pretty amazing!

I have a G60

Love when people see there cars in the videos. I always try and put as many clips as I can so hopefully people can see there car in the video.

Couldn’t agree more! I love all the VR6 cars they are just absolutely amazing!

Money pit it will be... But you will love every second of it !

David Sotheran couldn’t agree more man! I look at the smiles you get from the experience you can always make more money to pay for it lol

16yrs for me, bought it when my son was born, still got it, just passed mot.

Nearly 26 years for me. Original owner. Anyone starting a museum?

Minister of Fresh yep of course! No problem man!

Thank you! Ya I’d love to get one also! Just need to finish my R32 build first.

That’s pretty amazing! Ya sadly no to many people know about these cars... hopefully as they get older people outside the VW community learn more about them

@@ThreePedalGarage I didnt know what they were and then my brother had 2 all of the sudden. He had a red 1993 vr6 SLC with a number of upgrades.... and a ?1991? G60 in yellow, then I had mine and a drunk driver almost killed my brother in the red vr6....... Shame about the car because his vr6 was by far the cleanest corrado I have ever seen to date.

Thank you man!

Enjoy man! The thumbnail car is a 3.2 swap Corrado

Motoriousss interesting. The UK got all the rare Corrados lol

@@ThreePedalGarage honestly I have no idea, they weren't even offered in Germany. I am a proud owner of an original storm 😁

Motoriousss yep lol Germany usually gets everything but this time the UK got lucky lol

@@ThreePedalGarage There is actually an even more rare version of the Corrado, only two (2) made, it was the 4 door hatch (Estate) Corrado Magnum. As of last year, they were owned by the same person. Don't know if he still has them. Was in Germany in 2017 at a VW car show and both of them were there. In 2016 they were both up for sale in the US for around $100 000. From what I've been able to dig up on them they are supposedly prototypes.

Andree Ahlm hmmmm interesting the cool idea!

GhostArmageddon that’s a solid price for a rust free Corrado! I’d love to have one and build on up as a project car

That an amazing story! Glade to see your rescued the car! I’m sure it’s a fun car to drive also!

Also the Store was only sold in the last year, and only in the UK.

Yep thank you for the comment! Idk why but I get that mixed up 😂

Thank you! Appreciate the comment!

Yep it’s a really cool fact

Thank you man! I appreciate it! Trying to get through as many cars as I can

I can work on that! I love your content man! Your videos are amazing! I do give credit in the videos since I know now much time and effort goes into making them!

Oh I’m sure she ain’t lol I’m rebuild my MK4 R32 and they are money lol

@@ThreePedalGarage it’s also crazy that mk4 are almost collector platable now too. I guess some are 😳

@@LithiuM230 ya the MK4 R32 and any special edition car are basically collectible at this point. Especially if they are low miles and not modified

Sounds like a fun car!

But there is also a corrado G60 TRESER?

I have a BBM Twin Screw on my '90. The powerband is way better than my 72mm pulley G-charger.

wed3k ya the VR6 sounds amazing! The G60 are ally nice also just a little more to maintain.

@@ThreePedalGarage I got rid of the problematic g60 and replaced it with a twin screw bbm charger. It's a bit loud!

@@wed3k that sounds like a solid upgrade to do to the car! I’d love to get my hand on a Corrado some day!

I’ll have to do some research! Thank you for the suggestion!

Thank you! Ya the seat belts are pretty cool in the car lol. I currently do not k or any shops that would be good for restoration work. I know the Corrado is a weird car to work on so it would be good to find an expert to help with the restoration.

Alan Ramirez ya man the roar out of the VR6 is to die for! One of the best sounding cars! The new 2.0t are crazy for modifying but it just doesn’t get the VR6 sound.

2.0 8v is great. Overlooked because of less power. But it 's light in the front and has a very direct feel in every aspect. Liked the newer model with 2.0 more then my two older G60 s

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 that’s pretty nice! I wish I had one 😂

That’s a cool fun fact! Did not know that!

Yep the closet thing today VW/Audi makes as a sports car is the TT RS lol I always wanted VW/ Audi to build a car similar to a lotus. Put a VR6 turbo in the rear and make it really well balanced for handling.

@@ThreePedalGarage I think the closest they got was the Porsche 914 which was a VW in Europe.

@@Clodrock yaaaa that is very true!

oh wow, where abouts are you based?

I believe it was mad by VW Motorsports. If you google you can see it was made. Very rare

Exactly , would have loved to keep the original sunroof but put in a Passat by one , and then accidentally threw away the steel one DOH

Hmm yes I don’t think he really knows much about the Corrado really

I think it is actually disconnected now. I know when I made the video I was hard to find them but they were around. I can’t find them anymore.

I couldn’t agree more man!

Ohhhh yes it’s a real beauty! Love the wheels!!

Haha whoops yep messed that up.

I’m sure it’s a fun car!

That’s actually a great idea. The older allroads have the B5 S4 engine in them and the new one looks super beautiful!

Sadly not that I’m aware of. There is VW classic parts which has some parts. Other then that there are a bunch of other website that provide parts

Ya they are beautiful car! I’m trying to keep doing VW content but also add in a few other brands to see if I can grow the channel faster. I was looking into doing a few BMW episode.

BMW vlog sounds good . I’ve had 6 in the past . Your channel will grow dude . It’s a great channel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

weyland1000 thanks bro? What BMW would you want to see?? I was looking at three options. M1, z1 or E36 m3

I used to have an E36 325i and 540i as well as others which included anE36 330i Touring but all great cars . I switched to VW as I had always wanted an R32 and had owned many BMW also had 2 Alfa’s . A 166 which I regretted selling as it’s very rare and a 156 2.0 T spark . I would be happy with whatever you choose dude .They all sound good .👍

weyland1000 thank you for the feedback man!

It such a good sounding and handling car

The only car I wish my sister didn't do 3 rolls off the freeway. My heart bleeds every time I see a Corrado. I would trade my Carrera 4S for a 93 SLC in a heartbeat.

Hell ya man! I agree 100% with yoy

Ya understandable. Most German cars as they get old are a lot to maintain.

I've had my G60 Corrado for 11 years, and the G-lader works perfectly, despite being now 31 years old. Renew seals and bearings in the G-lader every 50.000 km, and it lasts. Mind you, if you keep it standard. Or if you want to tune it, get a g65, a G65 or a G75 charger. Spins out way over 300hp and that seems to be the limit for a fwd. It's now very hard to get body parts all over the planet. Wings, etc. Install metal part into the door handles, and they won't break again. Renew the lower inner rib wheel every now and then, say every 10 years or 50.000 km, and avoid it exploding. Seal the + wire on the glove compartment light switch, the trunk light and the main light switch, as they can move under hard suspension etc, and make a short. Better safe than sorry. Don't overlube the G-lader as it just sends the Kluber grease down into the intercooler. And DON'T use standard length bolts on the intake side of the G-charger, as they need to be cut off a few milimeters, to avoid potentially crushing the intake house side of the G-charger. The G-60 drives the best, as the 2,9 VR6 is more nose heavy. Bot all Corrado's have a really high level of cornering capability. It can easily follow a Lotus Elise on twisty roads. It's that good, and it says a lot. The 1991 G60 in Europe had more power, as the now shut down VW Motorsport used them in German hill climb races. Therefore they developed a better ported cylinderhead and ported intake manifold and exhaust manifold, and mine totally standard, makes 177 hp. With a modern 200 cell cat and a little exhaust work and a removed intake restrictor, it makes 190 hp - a ka a the VR6 in european models. Great fun. Bigger 312mm brakes from other vw cars fit right on. Good for tuned cars. It's low and expect a lot of stone chips on the whole front. Im my humble view, the Corrado is by far the best beginner sports car you can have. It's fast and it takes corners like not many cars can do. It's got a very fine balance in it. I'll keep my G60 Corrado for may years still, I hope. Cheers.

Thorsten Meyer it’s a beautiful car man!

YES! Perhaps I can can make a living talking about things I know nothing about with added elevator music. There is a lot of made-up statistics.

Where are you located? I would either look online for a shop that rebuild superchargers or look if you can buy a used one

@@ThreePedalGarage IL Chicago

@@ThreePedalGarage and yea I’ve looked for shops but haven’t found nun

@@hugorangel5213 I know their is a supercharger rebuild shop online that you can send your supercharger to. I think it’s superchargerrebuild.com. I know they do V9 rebuilds for the Mk4 R32 supercharger setup.

@@ThreePedalGarage thank you I’ll check it out and like the casing and the inside like exploded so I doubt they can do a rebuild but I’ll check it out

That’s a good point a good body and the rest can be fix. It’s hard to find one with no rust

Simon not sure how many G60 Corrados there are left. I think I’m total around 97k were made out of all the Corrado models.

@@ThreePedalGarage I mean the special TRESER tuning with 210 HP

👍🏻👍🏻

ty camp haha thanks ty! I couldn’t figure it out

I hope that's the right pronunciation, I'm sure the internet with correct me if I'm wrong 😂

Haha see I was right you corrected me lol

Yep I agree with you most hearted cores are a pain to do. In all VWS. I just helped a friend do his on his GTi and it was not fun

I’ll check it out

Yep I realized that! Thanks for the correction.

Yep lol messed that up

Good to know! What do you like about the G40 more?

@@ThreePedalGarage it was way more reliable . The engine responded alot better , wound up faster and accepted upgrades better. Plus all that speed and fun for half the cost of fuel made this g40 my forever car. If u can live with its looks haha

That is not my experience. Not at all. I've never heard of any of my friends Corrado's needing that, when buying, nor mine. A lot of these cars were heavily tuned and driven by young people, and got overdriven, overtuned and crashed. Not many left of the original 89.000 examples that Karmann made in Osnabrück. Cheers.

I’ve worked on the music for other series since I released this video

@@ThreePedalGarage keep up a good work man. 🤘

@@rim4iks thanks man🙌🏻
