Thanks for posting this. It's'a bit sad to see but at least it's being used.
Hugh
It's a 1.8 throttle body. We think it might have done close to 300,000 but it runs fine.
But it is now at Centre Rd Wreckers/Imlach's. They say they will put in the self serve yard. We should have...
If no one is interested I think we can get $200 for scrap metal.
Hugh.
OK, so we decided to go ahead. Found a 107,000 km second hand gearbox for $750 from German Car Wreckers who was sure it would be correct for the car (it was). Our local Autobarn sourced an Exedy DMF...
Bron has had a great run out of this 1995 Cordoba for the last ten years but she has moved on to a MK 5 Golf. The Seat has alloy wheels with two good tyres. The heater core has burst but there is a...
$280 for the genuine VW seal is about right but there's no way Superman could do it in 2 hours. You've got to remove half the front end, the gearbox, clutch and flywheel to get at it. Are you sure...
Hi Guys. I have posted on the Seat forum a bit over the years about the Cordoba my daughter has owned for about 10 years. It has been a very useful car that has been very cheap to own with a bit of...
The diaphragm was broken. A section of three fingers had broken away from the rest. Unfortunately some twit had removed the clip and the string we tied the clutch cable up with broke and it took me a...
Thanks Martin,
That was my thought too (regrettably) but I'm a bit surprised it doesn't slip and I should have mentioned it doesn't shudder either. The release bearing would have to be not...
Hi all,
I put a new clutch in Bron's '96 1.8 Cordoba about 2 1/2 years ago. It has worked perfectly until the other day when she rang to say that the gear shift linkages had seized up. That's not...
Hi Abaz12, That is an impressive fix. My daughter's 96 Cordoba had just started to have intermittent speedo/tacho problems. How did you diagnose the fault? Where did you source the stepper motor...
Thanks Mate,
Bron already has a 1.8 1995. She has spotted a 1999 whose paint looks good but it's in Tas. There is not a lot of point to the exercise if the paint will fall off that too in a few...
Hi Guys, haven't been here for while. My daughter Bron's 1995 Cordoba is going well but has a few cosmetic problems. The main one is that the paint is peeling and chalky which seems like a common...
Thanks Matt, that worked well. It was still a fight to get the transmission off the engine. The right side output drive flange doesn't get past the flywheel very easily. We had to drop it a lot to...
Thanks Guys, I thought I had replied to this but maybe took too long and got logged out.
I have made a start and have a couple of little problems. There is a pressed steel bracket about 250 m.m....
Thanks Matt,
How can I get to understand the cable better? Can it malfunction and take up all the free travel and hold the clutch off a bit?
Is there a recommended set of mounting points for the...
I'm getting close to having to replace the clutch in Bron's Cordoba. Is it possible for the cable to prevent the clutch from driving properly? I don't drive it regularly enough to get a feel of how...
I had a Ryco leak on Bron's cordoba just enough to leave a few drops on the ground. I was talking to a friend who runs a service workshop, he had a whole shelf full of Ryco filters which had leaked...
Sounds similar to what Bron's did a while ago. When it was cold if you floored it it hesitated like a carburettored car without enough choke. Was OK with gentle acceleration but wasn't really running...
I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on what Bron's Cordoba is worth to sell and the best way to sell it. (She's bought a Bora.)
It's a bright red 1995 manual in very tidy condition. Everything works...
By the time I got to it it had settled down and is no longer a problem. I had previously had the cam belt off and dropped a tooth on the auxilliary sprocket and had to reset the ignition timing....
Thanks Guys,
I'll have a look over the weekend.
Hugh.
Bron's Cordoba has just developed a varying idle speed problem. It's a bit random and varies between 900 and 2000 RPM. The rubber isolator under the throttle body is OK. I really need to fix this as...
Thanks Matt. I should have been clearer in my last post that it all worked out fine. I presume you find enough second hand pumps to keep everyone going and that new ones are too expensive for most...
