MikeVR6

I have a MAF! I didn't see it in the engine bay. It has been relocated under the bumper where the intake is for the supercharger. Tricky to get at but I managed to get the connector off and gave it a clean with brake cleaner this morning. The car ran normally almost all the way to work for the first time in 2 weeks. Idling at 650rpm or thereabouts. But just as I arrived at work it started acting up again. So definitely the MAF is the culprit. I'll try and get it off tonight for a proper clean. I also have a spare MAF I can swap over. I'll post back here the results.

What was the problem in the end? Mine's doing the same and I've also been swapping parts back and forth to find the cure.

Replaced the ISV today with a freshly cleaned one from a breaker. No improvement.

Is it possible to do a Throttle Body Alignment with the Lite version of VCDS? Going to check the car now. Hopefully it's something obvious as soon as I open the bonnet.

Thanks I'll take a look at those. The engine is still being run in after rebuild, so I think the ISV and thottle body are clean. Possibly a hose has worked itself lose. I'll take a look this evening. Are you using the full VCDS? I've just a generic Bluetooth dongle and the registered version of Torque on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.

Brought the VR6 out of hibernation at the weekend. Battery was completely flat after sitting for 6 weeks so a jump start was needed. Took her for a 40 mile run to charge the battery and shake the cobwebs out. Had her out again last night, started on the button. 20 mile drive, no probs. This morning on the way to work she drops below 500rpm and cuts out every time I take my foot off the gas. If I try to start her with no gas she just turns over. A little pedal and she starts but cuts out again as soon as I ease off. Unfortunately I can't find my OBD cable at the moment to run a scan. What should I check?

Sounds like you've no need of an alarm. Although remote central locking and window/sunroof closure are nice. Means you can fit Passat de-locked door handles too. If it were me, I'd still get the old alarm removed cleanly. Only because I'm paranoid about car electrics having had an Audi Coupé go up in flames a good few years ago.

Looks like a Scorpion unit. Probably Dealer fitted when the car was new. To be honest. If you don't have the fobs and the car still drives. It's likely the alarm has been disconnected or bypassed somewhere. I would take it to a good Autospark and have the Scorpion completely removed and think about fitting a Toad Ai606 or something similar. I had a similar job done last year by John at Coventry In Car Services. I can't recommend his work highly enough. Really did a very nice job of the wiring, which was a total mess. Took his time (9 hours solid). Installed a new Ai606 and charged me less than £300. All certified and warrantied by Toad. Old alarms are just a disaster, don't waste time on it.

Looks the job mate. Can't wait to get one!

Lovely! Good G60's must be rarer than Storms now. Great colour too! Where did you get the "Charged Up" decal?

Be careful about posting your names. Some conniving get might track you down and steal your motor. 3. Mystic Blue - Mikevr6 - Cologne, Germany

Have a read of this and follow the link to eBay. VWVortex made a custom run of 16" and 17" Speedlines from Italy. This is one of the sets for sale! http://germancarsforsaleblog.com/wednesday-wheels-custom-ordered-17x7-corrado-speedlines/

I'm interested too. In the "original" colour scheme as pictured.

Same guys I mentioned earlier in the thread. My original wheel was looking a bit tatty. They sent me a freshly upholstered one, including my choice of stitch colour. I then posted them my wheel. Job done and better than new IMO.

Are the genuine ones really worth that much!? I've one buried in it's original box somewhere at my Parents' house

Well done on the sale. I need one of these too. Can you read the part number off and post it here.

From the description it seems fairly straightforward. There's a little bit of splicing to do and find somewhere to mount the relay and you're done.

Did you install the kit yet?

That supplier has a few interesting upgrades for the C... Comfort Indicator - (3 flashes on a flick) Cruise Control Rain Sensor Programmable Wiper Relay. Although all my Corrados have had this, so it must be standard. http://www.cum-cartec-shop.de/

Yup I've got them on mine. They look good IMO but they're annoying. I always forget about them and spray my freshly waxed bonnet with de-icer. Wish there was a cut off for them.

For just shy of €100 I had mine retrimmed in new black leather with Purple and Red stitching to match the "Storm" theme. They do them on an exchange basis.. http://www.ebay.de/itm/Lederlenkrad-Lenkrad-VW-Golf-3-VR6-GTI-Passat-Corrado-r/140373132939?_trksid=p2047675.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D4027742689543033302%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D140598350714%26

VW, BMW, Audi and Mercedes are very much the kings here. For obvious reasons. SEAT and SKODA probably do sell their sportier models here but brand snobbery would stop Germans buying them. IMO.

Never had an Octavia and I don't see many VRS' here in Germany. Nor R32s for that matter. Saw 2 R36 Passats the other day parked within a few spaces of each other. Wonder how they go?

Another satisfied customer then :) Do you have fancy dash lights or is it just the photo?
