    They have the keys in the office which includes two remotes for the central locking module which I knocked up and fitted above the drivers glovebox. It was a bit tricky to get it to work with the...

    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...

    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...

    Cordoba for sale

    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...

    Cordoba clutch problem

    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...

    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...

    1995 vs 1999 cordoba

    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 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...

    Cordoba clutch replacement

    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...

    Flat spot when cold

    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...

    What's a Cordoba worth?

    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...

    Cordoba varying idle speed

    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...
