Rossi_226

did these go buddy?

OK buddy thanks. Shes going into German Autoworx tomorrow for a check up and will see what the outcome is from that

Just out of interest buddy how much would you want for the ECU?

Thanks for the pointers! Yeah shes still on stock ECU and injectors

Its running a stage 2 charger with smaller pulley, bypass pipe mod, straight through pipe from manifold and K&N. replaced both blue and black coolant sensors, new lambda sensor, ISV cleaned out, new rad fan sensor, new water pump and Thermostat and cleaned out CO sensor

Evening, finally got the old girl behaving....almost! Im looking for somewhere in the Norfolk-Suffolk area to have her mapped, after having the replacement engine put in her she running uber rich and having a slight issue at idle. Is there anyone you guys would recommend? Thanks

What corrado did the throttle bodies come off?

it seems VAGCOM wont be any good for mine being the G60 "FOR REFERENCE: VAG-COM can only communicate with the VR6's Motronic ECU (not G60's Digifant or 16v/8v's) but all Corrados' ABS, Auto G.box and OE Immobiliser (if fitted). Below are pictures of the two types of diagnostics interface found on the Corrado... "

Thanks for the replies. Doesnt need to be on WOT just once it get above sort of 2500rpm'ish its fine again. Im unsure as what oil was put in it after it was put back together, but will be doing a flush and change soon. Will try those. Will look for the list of VAGCOMs too. Thanks

Ok i have her back and shes determined not to give me an easy life!! Everything was running smoothly the day i first drove her, everything bedding in nicely.....managed about ninety miles of easy driving, then starting idling rough as hell and loosing power low down in the gears?? So far ive cleaned out the ISV, CO sensor, Cleaned out the throttle housing... still no joy, the majority of the time at higher revs she drives fine still. Any pointers? Also what sort of oil temps should i be seeing in her?? Mine seems to be leveling out at anywhere between 118 and 120 degrees?? Water temp sits around 90 to 100 degrees

Yeah i did quite a bit of reading one here and other forums dotted around about things prone to issues, that way i can do as many of them as needed while the engine is out

it will have the new crank bolt going in mate yeah. will sort pics out once shes back and cleaned up again

Hell yeah and means i can save money on fuel too!!! :dance:

Replacement engine is pretty much all done, just waiting on new crank bolt to arrive, new clutch kit to arrive and be fitted then she should be dropped in. Looking hopefully at end of this week begining of next!!

Could'nt agree more

Thanks folks, yeah the charger has been done before i bought the car. But just for my own piece of mind it will be going in for a health check with Jabba just to be on the safe side.

Update: Replacement engine paid for, should be delivered Thursday/Friday this week. Now to Order all new mounts and a few extras while the lump is out. Quick question, I've read a few things about the crank bolt, which one is best to order? Getting excited now!!:multi:

Dont really see the point in just going standard while its stripped down :norty:

I couldnt do that!! It infuriates me when i see the same happening with the GTOs too, with cars like these where there are less and less of them left they need to be kept on the road!!!!!

Little update: My engine is proper screwed. Bottom end is ruined, pistons are ruined as are bores. Hopefully have a replacement being built as we speak from the lad at German Autoworx, so fingers crossed in a few weeks time it will be ready to drop in!!

Still looking guys.....

PM sent

Desperate for a replacement engine, would prefer recently reconditioned/rebuilt. Cash waiting. Thanks

Thanks, fingers crossed!! I just want to know so i can get things moving along, its the not knowing part that does my head in! Want to get her back on the road!:multi:

Should be finding out today the extent of the damage!! :pale:
