redcorrado

tried the car today ,brakes seemed fine ,very strange.Still gona take it to the garage.

Not sure. i had a quick look to see if there was fluid in the resevoir and there was .then i got the missus to drive forward an back to see if the brakes were looked up ,but no signs of it .

no sign of any

my brake pedal goes to the floor and so i havent got any brakes ,the back passenger wheel is boiling hot and stinks. i can pump my brakes and they work for a second ,but thats it. any ideas before i take it too the garage .

well i checked the fuse for no 21 its not that .possibly a relay that controls them both ?

had a look cant find it though :(

as above ,any one know if there is a fuse or relay that controls both these .? :mad:

pics\?

yes sold them a while ago

lol i was running 195/50 /15 on my 9x15 split rims.

Just picked the car up ,and its now fine ,they replaced the slave cylinder under warranty.

well my slave was done less than a year ago ,sho should be intersting when they show me the bill.

Well just had a phone call from the garage saying they think its the salve cylinder,so there gona get one in and fit it tommorow

I have just dropped my golf vr6 to garage ,so will let you know the outcome,possibly friday,when i pick it up.

my golf vr6 also does it,sounds like its coming from the slave cylinder.Its been like it a while (2 months) so maybe i should take it to the vw garage .

good job ,glad to here its a simple fix..

Hi m8 well it cost £130 ,not cheap but apparantly that was 3 hours labour including wire ,connector etc. but well worth it,if i ever get simmilar problems i will go there first. i wish i had gone there at the start , ps. what's your username on oem plus ? cheers and good luck .Mark

Hi m8 i never got the timing changed on it so not sure on that one.the only info i got from the garage was they unplugged the ecu and plugged there computer in to it called a pin something ? its where they check all the wires one at a time,apparantly the one which sends a signal to the lambda sensor was damaged ,they repaired it ,but if you had a faulty lambda it would give the same result ,the mechanic wasnt there for me to speak too and i cant see any sign of repair so not sure really what else to say other that in should have taken it to the main dealer weeks ago ..

Right ,well the car is running great again, it was a broken wire. im amazed it would cause all those problems ,but hey im happy. it was broken somewhere between the ecu and lambda sensor.

Hi m8 Cool a fellow cornish vw man .im not sure whos working there at the mo as i got the missus to drop it up. theres a website/club of some local (penzance ,camborne truro helston porthleven ) people in cornwall you may want to take a look at from fellow dubbers here http://www.oemplus.co.uk im on there as c3vrg ,my other cars a red golf vr6. i will keep you posted ,and fingers crossed will let you know . One day i will be able to to afford to get tyres for my azevs and get them back on the car lol. :wink:

Big update on my car. Well took it to HELSTON GARAGES,my nearest local vw garage ,they had it all day and found there was a break in the wiring loom to the oxygen sensors ? Unfortunatly i havent got the car back yet as it was to late for me to go and pick up the car,so i havent tested it myself. But it took them 3 hours and they say its working fine .so fingers crossed ,im on day off tommorow so will see then.

the first corrado i saw was yellow,love the colour .

Well it came on slowly over a few weeks ,and then has been a pig ever since ,there was a couple of times when i thought it had cured itself ,then it started again.

Yes thanks . its going to the main dealer on tuesday next week.I will tell them everything thats been done and the fault with the throttle switch. Surely there cant be a lot more to replace :cry:
