Cheers Tiger! That was mentioned before - i DO have a K&N cone filter! I dont have a stock air box. But have bought a used BMC CDA filter - shall i try to fit that and see??? Also Just erased the fault codes on the scanner. Took it for a blast on bypass (whilst my son has a 2.5hr TaeKwonDo session :) Awesome! Anyway Unfortnately it stalled coming to a stop. Fortunately THAT would be captured by the scanner. It did: Engine Speed sensor again! So its the cone filter?

Totally understand I had 3 classics before and they were older too! Lol I dont think my car is a lemon or about to break into pieces. Everything will break or wear down at some point, Its just feel like they all seem to start going wrong one after another ... :( I wouldnt be surprised if i start hearing a metal Chain noise - eeeeek! Its cool guys I just a bit down on £££ and luck (as Vag-Hag can back me up - lol)

Cheers for the support, bud! I know - i had amazing help/advice and free give aways too - Cant thank everyone here and the forum enough for everything, and that i am sooo new here i am so touched by the genorosity here :)

Looks cool! It is the gearbox one? How much delivered? What screw?

Ok

Just short of a tenner mate! (1 Litre) And its GREEN! Either in stock or 2 days in stock. Though my local dealer no longer sells Brake fluid :(

U know what the saddest thing is? I have a bypass literally I can see from my house. It is 70mph Many round abouts And i used it 3 times a week (kids activities) and ONLY at nights 6-7pm when its quiet... Each roundabout i come to drop to 2nd then boot it! I mean to be able to drive like that at LEAST 3 times a week without traffic must be the MOST i am going to miss about the Corrado :( :( :( But the combination of safety (stalling) and trivial matters like now the door handle not working and no demisting function (heater directional control not work) etc - dose dampened the enthusiasm :( Maybe i should really ONLY drive it on my own AND only weekends???

Cheers Sean! It may not be the route i take eventually, But at least its another possible solution ...

Well Thanks to Andy s (HairyArse) recommendation AND showing me how ... 1st time use this At least no short shifter in there! Yet! Lol OBD2 does work! 2 ENGINE errors! Panic over! Its ok Its only the 2 codes the garage found (engine speed + oxygen sensors) That the garage fixed and forgot to erase code??? BUT It is STILL stalling??!!! Scan other codes... Oh...

Pics? Details? PM me?

Thats the thing I always like to fix then sell ... But how much more? I always used a specialist. This is 1st time i ever use a non-specialist garage to service my car - but worth it though :)

Thats awefully generous Sean! Thanks! But what do i do with mine now?

Thanks! But i need to reach deep deep in pockets again ....where does it end???

Lol Hopefully all your hard generous work not come to nothing - if I decide to sell :(

Not sure how far that is mate? Its main bits "chain, guides etc" not done for 123k! eeeeek!

I am again now considering selling up 'earlier than planned' and cut my losses.. Even thinking about this cheap 1995 VR6 on eBay now on bid £900. Its done £200k but most importantly its had most major bits done (chain, brakes etc) and sad as I am its also an auto! Yay - less fun I know :( Buy that. Sell mine And worse is I lose £1k? On the auto if it breaks? As I don't know how much more £££ I will be pumping into mine (or what else will break)??? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-VOLKSWAGEN-CORRADO-KARMANN-GHIA-BLACK-/201304299401?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2edeabd789

Sadly not Sean :( From private individual who was a member of VR6OC ....sold as seen. And as I thoroughly tested it at the time - there was no major issue that I spotted on the day..... ... Until it broke down on way home.. ...then stalled.. ...then.

Yes! That means I can buy ANY cheap bolts to fit after! I just bought one 7mm for my Prelude! :) Wait.....I would need to drill into that METAL handle??? No no no :( And that hole looks teeny too :( :( :(

OK!

And if I get a new bolt - what if the bolt threaded hole is worn or knackered by that wood screw??? EEEK! :( :((

Er Guys? My driver door now wouldn't open :(

Massive thanks, Chris! :) Really really appreciated your help, bud!

Thanks Bud! Noted!

Chris? Look what i found in my trouser pocket this morning??? Well Car drives fine - i not noticed any different yet since from garage or from Chris It didnt stall on day from garage :( But stalled a few times already :( :( :( I dont feel safe ... 1st gear cruncb from garage. Nog tested it yet from Chris. No leaks underneath Temps fine ... Roof leak i have taped where it leaks ... But a LOT more surface rust has appeared :( All around rear arches All along bottlm of driver door :( The future is NOT clear The future is more ££££££ :( and RUST! and STALLING and ...

Late Cold Hungry Sleep P@&%'ed too - lol Rushed to fit rear brakes AND still need to bleed brakes now as we took the rear calipers off! Neighbour came to help :) Old fluid was black in my car and his new brake fluid DOT 4 was GREEN ... Then it sunk on me that my garage had not changed the brake fluid :( :( :( - GRRRR! Checked my receipt - and drain brake fluid wasnt on the garage receipt (just replaced Clutch Slave Cylinder and drain clutch fluid) ... So should i get all brake fluid change? And drain master, slave, clutch, ABS pump??? Home time... Chris top man still looked after me Took my car for a spin Went for spin together to ensure everything was ok :) THANKS Chris !!!
