Ok thanks Jim!

So corrado engines rubbish?

Stalled on roundabout this morning :eek: Stalled 4 times on way home :eek: My current door handles: Hopefully get some new bolts by end of this week? So i feel UNSAFE to drive (esp with kids) And car door can easily be OPENED with the handle like that :eek: So its back in my garage and the Honda is out

Lol U player!

Cheers Jim :) ISV cleaned on Sunday. How to check if working? Scanner comes back with fault code: 513 (engine speed sensor)...

Cheers Car had 3 owners really... 1st company car Wife Sat in garage for 10 years Last owner for 12months ....

We go 50/50 mate! U have it weekends - I all have it weekdays! And no, I don't mean the missus! Lol :)

Cheers bud! Yes ISV was cleaned on Sunday with spray cleaner. How to check if working?

Only the best V-power, bud! EVERY time!

lol

OK, Andy! I have faith in my Financial Corrado Advisor!

Cheers Chuggs! I know. I researched a lot about the possible causes when my car started to stalled But there was no one clear answer - but a million answers And some people paid so much in parts and labour and still not fixed :( When my garaged diagnosed those 2 codes I thought - yay! And threw my notes away - now I wished I hadn't ... :( Interestingly Many VR6OC and GolfGTi forums say the stalling usually only affects the VR6 and its common???

Cheers Stuart for kind words :) I will try, I will try to keep spirit up and keep as long as I can....

I ran with ignition in position 2 - as the scanner said no need to switch on motor ....I will switch on next time...

Thanks Ian! I will jot everything down and go thru with Sanky on Sunday (he has kindly offered to help :) I bet its gonna snow that day or tsunami etc...)

Noted! :)

Cheers Sanky I know what u saying ... It dose seem then the Honda will have to come out as daily car, and Corrado back in garage (my garage) again :( My driver door handle is literally dangling from door. But thanks to Andy (HairyArse) we have some new bolts on order! Some relief there! As now, ANYONE can take the door handle out and open the central locking - eeek! But yet again really really appreciate your offer of help - Sunday? :) Er, anyone got a stock airbox?

Minor mate - but DANGEROUS!!!! As a moving car on roundabout and it stalls :( :eek: U know Bradford driving, i WILL BE rear-ended at some point! :( :( :(

No idea to any above, bud :( Good to know ref battery dims. As i charged/reconditioned battery for 48hrs when i got her back from garage, I think battery is ok - just wondering if powerful enough thats all ... I think I will take my car to my usual Jap specialist. If a VR6 specialist has done his bit - no harm in taking it to someone else. As I have planned to drive her over 2 weeks Easter to my parents in Bristol, I prefer to have her overhaul a 2nd time: 1. Fix fault code 513 2. Change brake fluid / bleed ABS pump / Master - anything else??? 3. Check brakes are working (ref rear calipers) - though the handbrake is working :) If STILL stalling continues ...i think its time to move on. Drive Honda to Bristol, sell Corrado after Easter ... As I read there is sooooo many possible things that can caused the stalling ...

Driving review after garage/service (but OLD brake fluid): Still NOT used to following: 1. Engine Lumpiness at idle 2. Heavy steering wheel at low speed But above just trivial compared to the overall driving experience :) 1. Gear changing more knotchy - after 20mins drive still knotchy - before silky smooth - before crunch in gear 1, not experienced it again...yet 2. Slight squeak from rear driver brake? When turning more right 3. Slight saueak from engine right when driving slowly? 4. MUCH more practical over uneven roads / speed bumps - as my coilovers height increased :) :) :) Oh I have noticed something when coming to a stop ... It dips below 500rpm ...and as i had my light on ... ...as it dips below 500rpm the dash lights dim and as the rev go back up to idle - the dash lights light up normal again (whereas if if stalls, it will dip below 500rpm, battery LED come on - then stalls). So any thoughts on dash light dimming when coming to a slowdown and in middle of changing down?

Well Just double checked the garage vagcom... They had: 537 Lambda/Oxygen Sensor 533 Idle Speed I had last night: 537 513 Engine Speed sensor ERASED it then drove car and scanned again, got: 513 Engine Speed So not really worth going back to garage coz different fault code as i guess they will charge me again. So worth taking to a cheaper garage??? Today Approaching roundabout decided NOT to change down at gear 3. Got on round about, traffic slower I had go change down to 2 - IT STALLED ON THE ROUNDABOUT - ARRRGGHHHHHHH! :eek: :eek: I dont want to drive her again! :( :( :( :sad:

Cheers Ray! Feels much better with so much support from u guys - thanks :) We will have to see, Ray. As much plans ref house move and maybe down to one car with no classic insurance. So just keeping the faith for now may only be a battle won.... But thanks all - much appreciated :)

Guys I lost the white plastic disc behind the handle U just about see it in the pic here.. Can u see what part number it is from here? Above pic Also confirms door shut bolt to fix handle is a FILLISTER BOLT :) But when the pic says LEFT is that driver side or passenger? As the RIGHT BOLT is a left-hand-thread ...

nooooooooooooooooo!

Thanks! It resets the lambda sensor?!!! Thats one of the things that stalls my car i think :( My lambda just been replaced too ..
