g60greeny, that's quite a tranformation! 8) Mmmmm borbets Witha better ride height than mine

I love my Corrado, but I don't think it loves me!

Cheers dude. You got any before and after pics of your VR?

That engine bay is just superb. Not too much bling, just the right amount. 8)

:oops: :oops: :oops:

One of the first things I did, they were hideous!!

Cheers dude!

Stolen this idea off Vortex, but would be quite interesting to see the 'change' that peoples Corrado's have been through. Here's mine... Before After Now lets see yours! :lol:

How 8) is that engine bay! Good work!

Cool cheers dude. It does sound like it it the glow plugs now, which is quite pleasing. Should I try priming the pump tomorrow morning before I try and turn it over then anyway?

Just been out and checked the voltage to the glow plugs. 11.9V whilst the glowplug light is on and also for about 5 or 6 seconds afterwards. Started ok then, although it hasn't been sat over night, but was still a bit spluttery for about 5-10 seconds. I'll fit the new ones and see how I get on. They should be here tomorrow, so I'll get them in at the weekend.

Yeah alomst essential when doing the plugs on the Pug...I dropped loads of bolts and washers down gaps in the engine, when trying to get the things back onto the plugs! :roll: Got one of them! 8) Hmmm, i'll check that out as well! I'm assuming that that has the relay and timer fro the glow plugs in it?

Dec, I think we may have the same engines, are the glow plugs on the front edge of the head? Right underneath my bloody intercooler!!

Cheers guys. I'm totally useless at the 306. Tis not German so feel sick when I work on it :lol: Just ordered 4 new glow plugs from GSF - £30 inc postage :) Had a browse on a diesel forum and it could also be the glow plug relay, but have decided to do the glow plugs first, as it has just been getting steadily worse, and was definately worse this morning, being a bit chillier!

Quick bit of history on the car.... Had a replacement engine (40k miler from a breakers yard) in May last year when one of the swirl pot fell out of the head into the cylinder and wrote the engine off. Also knackered the turbo, although that didn't get replaced until end of June with a second hand one. Furthermore there is an oil leak from somewhere around the back of the engine as well. Got a bit of a problem with the 306. The bugger struggled like hell to start this morning. It runed over but sounded like there was some resistance to turning if you get what I mean. I took 4 minutes of turning the ignition off then on to warm the glow plugs then cranking, but eventually caught. Once it did it was really lumpy and loads of blue smoke and black soot all ovr the floor under the exhaust. Its been getting steadily worse over the last two weeks or so. Would I be right in thinking that the glow plugs might be buggered? Not sure if this is the case as if the breakers yeard were not telling porky pies the glow plugs wouldn't be that old. I'm a little concerned because of the blue smoke rather than black, and was wondering if it could be oil getting into the cylinders and possibly hydraulicing(sp?)?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Plus the 7a throttle body has a throttle position sensor and I don't think it has the standard throttle switches that the 9a management requires.

PM'd dude

FSI is possible, but I'd imagine you'd need the full car wiring loom, clocks, key etc etc. The 9A has plenty of potential if you are willing to throw some money at it. Turbo? 300-400 bhp!

This is where you need to have a look! Mmmm turbo VR!

Holy schitt dude, that's one heafty intercooler!! How you planning on wiring in the Megasquirt? Are you going to re-wire the engine bay completely? I see in one of your piccies that you have a relay board to go in, I was hoping to use the existing relays in the car, or have I missed something important?

I like D90s on a Corrado

That's one of the reasons I'm using a 20v inlet. Just need the bugger modified now!! I have a modded RS2 20v inlet if you need one :wink: Was going to polish it up first and then sell it but you might not need it as the TB plate is G60. MMMM PM'd

That's one of the reasons I'm using a 20v inlet. Just need the bugger modified now!!

Anyone have access to the wiring diagrams for the 2.0l 16v? I'm after full diagrams, so I can use some of the existing siring in my car to run the Megasquirt, i.e. things like fuel pump, sensors, tacho etc etc. I guess this stuff might be in a Bentley manual????

How gutted are they! That's a real shame :( Wonder if there is any insurance on them in that building? I would guess not?? I would hope for the owners sake there is though.
