Was all Corrado's recalled for heater matrix replacement?

  • Any of you guys know if the recall for danger with the heater matrix was for all Corrado's or only for some models?.

    Mine is a 1995 VR6 (produced in december 94) - should this car have been recalled at some point in time?

    Also, when was VW aware of the problem with the heater matrix? (as this car was owned by VW in the early days - and maybe it was corrected at that time?).

  • This problem was only by the Corrados from the end-eighties to the early nineties...your car was produced 94 so you haven't this problem with the heater matrix,it has been also corrected by the facelift models!

    Corrado-What else?!

  • I think you mean with "heater matrix" the heat exchanger behind the car dashboard?!

  • flo_g60: Ja aber das wurde beim facelift Modell doch geändert oder liege ich da falsch?Es wurde dann im Werk geändert als die Probleme bekannt wurden oder hab ich da was in falscher Erinnerung?Oder hatten auch die letzten Modelle (94/95) immernoch die Probleme damit??

  • Stian, my records show that at least all VR6 models up to VIN ...RK003774 were affected, so well into the 94 production year. From my experience insuring automotive recalls those data sets should be pretty definite...

  • hmmm, yea it's the heater matrix I'm talking about.

    Would my car be affected - VIN: WVWZZZ50ZSK001385

    And would I still be able to get this done for free - or atleast get free parts from VW?.

  • No,today isn't be able to get this done for free...you must pay also for the heater matrix if your Corrado is affacted!
