  7. Been playing with the corrado,When start the engine is was like a engine misfire.so got a new dizzy not the fault.I did borrow a scanner after l got the dizzy.see above.Before l removed the switches l found that the front micro was not clicking when throttle was moved. Removed the switchs and checked.refitted the switchs adjusted the front switch so when moved throttle the switch now clicks. The engine now starts and runs spot on.will have to borrow the scanner again to check it out If abody needs a good working dizzy l have one.
  8. I work for a Renault dealership,when l get a Renault magane doing this it is corroded wiring as a the reg is not getting a command to send the windows up,this may be different on a VW.Have you tryed window switches.as you say the motors are ok as it will go up on a separate feed. Get a wiring dieagram and start checking the wiring.l have been 8 hours on one car sorting the wiring out. So allow some time for the checks Best of luck. When you find it let us know.
  9. Check out the wiring connections are not Corrored and not spread apart going to the window motors Also check the wiring in the rubber sleeve from the A post to door + wiring blocks

    Dizzy

    Have got a interment runing fault on my 1993 2.0 16 value.also have a oil leak around the dizzy. Had a look on eBay found a new dizzy for £44.95 all in Hopefully this will cure the runing fault, as the scanner l got will not communicate with the Corrado :dance:
  19. Yes,ignition on, l think the software is not compatible with a early car I thought it might because it is a 16 pin.but l will use it on something else

    Scanner

    Have just got a scanner and a adapter lead,the scanner will not communicate with the corrado It is a cheep scanner it will go through the start up sequence but will communicate So the question is what scanners will communicate with a Corrado (that doesn't cost a weeks wages) What scanners are people using :scratch:
  21. You can try to Google it and find the information
  22. Had he Corrado out today it was a bit warm (2.0 16v) The temperature on the dash reads when hot 75 to 85 degrees The fan can still run when engine switch off Hope this helps
  23. I have NO ABS light on dash, the light comes on when the engine is cranked, when the engine stars no ABS light on dash,The bulb is ok. when remove the wiring block from the ABS pump the ABS light works Turn the ignition on can feel the pump self testing though the brake padel (light knock) start engine can feel the pump self testing though the brake padel(light knock) Also where can l get a scanner to carry out a test on the ABS, engine ect,l have had a look on eBay but can only find 16 plan condition as my Corrado has 2 wiring block by the gear lever :dance:
  24. Dos the forum have a Facebook page as l have only found a few photos on Facebook
  25. Update, turn on the ignition on,no ABS light, crank the engine ABS light on when cranking,engine starts no ABS light on,Removed the wiring block from the ABS pump light on dash,Have not been out in the car to see if the ABS works on the road but never had to use it so don't know if it has ever worked The engine starts and runs grand
