ok will give it good look over tomorrow and write up any findings - thanks chaps

and using BP 95 RON fuel if that helps...

My G60 is pinking and I have found a checklist to go through from a previous post: http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... g&start=15 Believe I will need a new knock sensor and to check the wires. At the moment the timing is set to 6 degrees at the flywheel and the CO Pot is set to 480. Pinking seems worse when on boost (a lot worse) but cannot tell when it stops - after about 3.5/4k I can't hear much else other than charger and exhaust - but am certain I have heard it before over that at least once. A new lambda was put into the front pipe 2 months ago - Bosch universal one - has the 4 leads. Cars performing fine I think - gets full boost on std charger/pulley and reaches top end speed no probs. Anything else I should be checking/considering? Another problem from what I have read might be associated - the car jerks when accelerating and decelarating around 1.5/2k - I have read people having to replace full pumps/filters when dealing with pinking. Something I should consider? Any help appreciated as I am dying to get this sorted. Thanks

on topic - the effort is appreciated guys - I'm sure everyone agrees. off topic - scarlett - what happened?! just looked at your sig!

Superb - thanks everyone for the help :) Sorted!

ahh yes - much obliged! I seem to have 5 of these for some reason! and 4 of the screws - I should label these as a i get them and not stick em in a bag to make friends with all the other bags of bolts/screws!

thanks for the help :)

could i be a real pita and ask for a screen shot of the buggers? thanks again - help appreciated :)

Thanks for trying mate. N 010 242 22 and N 010 233 6 weird - i got these only 2 months or so (shows my memory capacity...)

not that - just I need reminded of what I got them for. they will show up in ETKA

I have these bolts bagged and I knwo I got them for a specific job I wanted to do on my G60. But for the life of me I cant remmeber where they are meant for - can anyone with access to ETKA help me please? :) N 010 242 22 BOLT N 010 233 6 SCREW Thanks a lot for any help :)

some people have used other stuff instead of replacing it with the foam from VAG. cant remember the name of it but its silver and shiny!

i have all this crap on my bonnet underside and since the bonnets getting redone at a local bodyshop - they said they have stuff that quickly removes this stuff - but then its getting repainted afterwards.... word of warning - when i priced up replacement foam - VW told me the current price is just shy of 70 quid. do you really want to pay that for some FOAM!!!!

theres loads of threads on this tbh - other options were s3, itr, leon cupra, scooby, s4, various older bmws, mr2... budget dictates a lot. the corrado despite its looks etc is a compromise car - got comfort (some;)), space, power and handling - if thats what you want, then you soon knock off alternatives.

that forum link that was posted on the first page is your best stop to find out about supras. 2 cars that i noticed people were buying after a corrado are: s3s and integras. personally i would have an integra without question if the corrado wasn't around.

sure danG60 has a mk4 in - pm him and then tell us the answer as I would liek to know this myself tbh

funny about the whistling - i have a pipe cut down to about 3 inches - maybe a little less and have no whistling - but have exactly the same done as mentioned by others... why is that? i was curious to hear what it was like tbh since soo many people have mentioned it.

that mystic blue really is just gorgeous

12 quid!!!

cheers Darren to clearing it up - yep thats exactly whats happening - problem sorted :)

ok that should be getting sorted pretty soon - i'll post back here if its still happening.

ok - well distributor is fine as its been cleaned and tended to very recently. plugs and leads - they havent been changed while i've owned the car so perhaps... my boost leak (at the muffler box) - so this could be the cause of this? bet everyone says 'oh leon - you didnt mention that now did you!' lol and sure i'll check out the throttle cable thanks to all replies so far!

remind me what the crank sensor does pls?

i will certainly check the mounts but i just cant believe it could be them - they were replaced literally just a few months ago! vibratech front, oem rears... i'll let you know what i find after a shifty :)

yeah totally like jolting. its feels very harsh at times... not sure if its a vacuum leak as was suggested some time ago. a friends g60 doesnt do that....
