1200 bandit

I am just a technician in a garage,nothing fancy,not living the dream

Did you replace the fly wheel? Did you check that the clutch is correct for your engine?

Interesting to see what people do for a living Also do Nissan And Dacia in the dealership

Needed quite a lot of information on me Corrado mostly found the information on hear,so l though l will try and give something back I work in a Renault dealership as a technician,so if anyone needs information on a Renault l will try to give the correct information

That is the 7th bad wiring repair l have to rectify,why not do it right the first time,or level it alone

Have spent the some time today checking out the wiring Found a very bad repair to the wiring for the high pressure oil switch,also found the wiring for the low pressure switch worn through by the **** poor repair Cut out all bad wiring and replace it,been out for a run pulling like a train no oil buzzer light flashing on the motor way .This time l hope it’s fixed Thanks Graphite for the information

Have 2 switches on the top oil filter housing,placed the red lead into the yellow wiring and the black lead to earth no reading,red lead into the blue wiring and reading of 0.02 Have checked out the oil pressure switches and the switches checked out ok.Check out with test lamp.Placed test lamp from low oil pressure switch to poss side of the battery. When turn on ignition low pressure switch test light comes on start engine goes out. Placed test lamp high oil pressure switch turn ignition on no test light on,start engine test light comes on .Found the information on google Possible wiring fault???? I see what you mean about different engines but l have no experience of the vw engines that’s why l .think the pressure is high.Dont what to start blowing any gaskets,engines May hhave asked this before but you say that the is a oil pressure switch on the side of the clylinder head ,l thought this was the oil temperature switch???????,all and any information most welcome

your reply says that the low pressure switch is on the side of the clylinder head is this the one under the dizzy,as l have been checking the 2 switches on the oil filter housing

I work as a technician in Renault Liverpool,l though the reading are high because on a 1.5 DCI Diesel engine,and a 1.2 petrol engine the reading are At idle speed 0.8 bar At 3,000 rpm 3.5 bar Engine temperature at 80 C Any thing out of specific requireds a new oil pump I know that this is for Renault engines On the Manta GTE the oil pressure reading was 3.5/ 4.0 bar at 3,000 rpm So l though that 3.5 / 4.0 bar was the normal reading Uesing a multimeter from wiring to earth When carried check out wiring yellow wire (rear switch) 0.0 omes open reading On blue ( front one )reading 0.2 omes Is the oil temperature switch on the clylinder head (gearbox side) under the dizzy which one is the high pressure wiring so l can carry out wiring checks

Can anyone tell me what the oil pressure is on a 2.0 16 v 9A engine,what temperature oil ,water should be when tested ,have replaced 2 oil pressure switches Have a oil light flashing at 2,500 rpm ,have carried out oil pressure checks on front and rear pressure outlets (see,will it ever end for pressure reading) The readings look high to me so thinking oil pump gone tits up Any thoughts welcome

Start up the engine last night ok for a bit then the oil light flashing Tonight carried out oil pressure checks Rear oil pressure reading are ,oil temperature 88 dregs,water temperature 70 dregs,RPM 800 1.2 BAR,RPM 3,000 4.2 BAR Front oil pressure reading are,oil temperature 98 dregs,water temperature 70 dregs,RPM 800 1.5 BAR,RPM 3,000 5.5 BAR Are the reading correct,also when thr wiring not fitted the oil light flashing Also will post this on Facebook as l can load photos

Just got the 2 oil switchs from vw heritage,fitted the switches no oil light at 2,500 RPM Nice easy fix ,roll on the next problem

You can get rubber blocks from eBay for jacking up the Corrado,and only £3.00/£4.00

Just placed an order for the switches from vw heritage hopefully this will sort it Thanks again for all the help

Thanks Leon it is same part numbers l thought the pressure switches where different l may be wrong But thanks for the information

Thanks for the information forgot to say that it is a 2.0 16 v 9 A engine thanks for the offer of the spanner (very easy to get to on a 9A engine) Have removed the switches the front switch is dark brown Possible black with a blue/black wire.The rear switch is white with a yellow wire l think the wiring is correct as this just started Can not see any information on the switches Had a look on VW Heritage for oil pressure switches part numbers 028919081D , 05691908E are they the correct ones Once again thanks for the information

Have been looking for information on oil pressure switches,The information l have found is there are 2 oil pressure switchs one low one high pressure.l am right in thinking that the switches are on the oil filler housing,is the low pressure switch at the front Am right in thinking that the oil pressure switches are different,looking on eBay and can’t see the difference between low and high pressure switches If the oil light comes on at 2,500RPM the high pressure switch is faulty???

Over the winter have replaced the brakes all around all the suspension fix lots of wiring fitted alarm now runs really well Nice day today I thought l go out and about,got adout 0.5 miles and the engine oil light flashing.Drive back turn of engine and restart the engine no light flashing,let engine idle for 20 minuets all ok incense revs to 2,500 RPM light flashing No noise from the engine,oil is new (had the sump off over the winter for a oil leak) Lower part of engine is spotless,removed the wiring to the 2 switchs the light flashing at 2,500 RPM ,oil temperature is about 75/80 degree which one is the oil pressure switch ,one wire is yellow ,one blue/black When carry out oil pressure check what pressure switch is removed to check oil pressure Thanks in advance for any information

Only just noticed that l have none on mine (Did have a repaint adout 3 years ago

Remove the starter motor and check of the car very easy to to do and may save you some time and money

Have fitted the Hawk alarm,alarm unit is quite small so can tuck up behind the dash.works well for the price ( have not fitted into the central locking as yet to cold) Had a bit of trouble finding some of the wiring but got there in the end

Check the wiring to the engine temperature switch,pull the rubber boot back and check the wiring is on the pins in the wiring block

Poss bulb blown and motor gone and you only noticed when the motor stopped the working,Just a guess

Out and about today in the Corrado,put heater on lots of lovely hot air ,just a light knock from the heater motor,Have not removed as yet,if no bits in there is best to get a new motor If so what motor will a straight fit

So will by mine hopefully
