Anyone, shed any light or have any experience???.

Same as this..

Anyone done this or know what ET range is suitable for the 2.0 16v???

Interesting site. I'll have to check the offset on the current wheels. I'm not so sure how it all works but will try and make sense of it all..

What about ET20, will they work. I've seen some Azev As off an E30 that I quite fancy...

Bonnet now opens. Still having idling issues once car is warmed up and is turned off and then on again.. ISV being changed tomorrow, fingers crossed...

Will they fit without hassle on a valver?

Welcome

Fantastic seats! Shouldn't hang about long

Ok, tied it tonight and it turned off after 3/4 mins. Then I started itv again, used the accelerator to keep it at 4k rpm for 20 secs or so and it's now staying on but revving at 1,500 constantly, temperature has reached the middle but the revs won't go any lower than that making the electric fan cut in. Switched it off and started it again, revs at 1,500 and won't settle. I think it's safe to say it's the ISV?

It's a 2.0 16v..

Why so randomly do you think it's gone wrong?. Lack of use and damp weather???

Bought a new cable from VW. £42 inc vat...

Any thoughts folks???? Do we still think it's the ISV?

If you rev it, it keeps running no problem.

Ok. Came home from work it started on the button. So I thought I would let it run for 10/15 mins or so to charge it up. But it turned off on its own after 5 minutes and now when re starting it can't hold it's revs again. It's a Shame I can't get the bonnet up. Catch 22 is I can't drive it to the garage as it will only switch off!

As long as we can get it started again it's going into the garage on Friday to put it on the ramp and get the bonnet open. Will try charging it for longer before attempting to start this time...

Ok Jim Fair advice. I've just bought one of the chap above. Desperate to get it running now lol. Can't just stare at it anymore !!

Nothing under the bonnet has been touched as it doesn't open at the moment. Is it possible that a really low battery means it can't hold its revs?

Pm what your after for it posted just in case. I'm in Leicester, where are you?

Hmm, I'm not ruling the ISV out but I will be very surprised if it is this. It's always idled perfectly, in fact it was fine just today. It was bizzare I put it into neutral to roll down the hill and since then it's played up. Up until that point it idled fine, no it just turns off and can't hold it's revs. I've had a couple of mk2 Gtis in the past raft have had ISV issues and the rev counter bounces around and you can get around it by gently easing off the accelerator, but not on this corrado, even if you ease off ever so gently it just stalls and then won't start for ages????

Sorry 2.0 16v

Those of you that have seen my other posts will know the bonnet cable has snapped and the battery is now flat. The Corrado was purchased in November but we were waiting to sell the old car, I was starting the Corrado every week or so and taking it round the block until Xmas day when it failed to start and the bonnet wouldn't open. The mechanic has been over and we've tried all sorts and basically it needs to go on a ramp. So we bought one of those chargers that plugs into the cigarette lighter and hey presto after 30 mins or so on charge with another car it started!!,, So we took it for a spin, after half a mile we dropped the car into neutral and it turned off and couldn't hold its revs but it was fine before that for the first half a mile. Now it just about starts but can't hold its revs unless I have my foot on the accelerator..., it kind of starts and then doesn't on some occasions. Is the idling issue linked to a dead battery that needs a good charge or is there another issue, bearing in mind I can't open the bonnet. Apologies for referring to 'we', but by that i mean me and brother lol. I must admit that half mile when the car drove like a dream put a huge smile on our faces. Someone help, what is wrong with the car.....

Well after ages messing about we can get one side up only!!!!
