    auto closure

    anyone knows what controls the auto closure when i lock my car the windows and sunroof only partially close
  3. just had my vr6 on ramp today and was shocked to see how much play was in the rear wheels on taking the wheels off and removing the split pin for the nuts i was further shocked to find i could remove them with my fingers i had them tightened properly on the tappered stud but i hate to think what would have happened if i had not have checked them
  4. absolutley agree mate at this time of year the last thing you want to hear is a tap,tap,tap when driving down a narrow street it ruins it for me by the way i will be in soton on the 18th might see you then
  5. i am really peed off i have just spent a grand replacing the timing chains ,clutch had the head skimmed. when i picked it up i have a really noisy tappet on the l/h front of the head. am i better off putting a thinner oil like 0 40 or a thicker one like 15 40 to help quiet it down dont really want to spend more money to get the tappets replaced
  6. yeah they are gunsons i might try it out
  7. i have just been to halfords and they were selling fault readers they had them for vw but it only listed the passet vr6 anyone know if they will work with the corrado they are cheap at £18.99
  8. went on run to the sun in newquay at the weekend ,never saw one corrado only boy racers in a white shirroco with a cherry bomb
  9. does anyone know what are the largest tyre size you can go up to on standard 15" speedlines and also what is the best make to go for
  10. http://www.channel4.com/4car/buying-gui ... o-279.html what do you guys think of this report it listed the calibra as the 71st all time best car and the corrado never even got a mention
  11. i checked the plugs and they seem fine, had the ecu read the other day with a vag 1551 only fault picked up was the crankshaft sensor cheers
  12. i have a slight missfire on my vr6, does not make any difference what the engine speed is, but as soon as you touch the throttle it missfires slightly, also does it when letting the throttle off. recently changed ht leads any ideas?
  13. i used black silicone sealer with masking tape and it came out perfect
  14. thanks alby i will check that out
  15. nearly forked out £200 for a set of speedlines because mine are pitted and most of the paint has flaked off, and i am glad i didnt because i have just had them refurbished by a mobile guy based in tiverton. he removed all the tyres and made a fantastic job of them, you would be had pressed to tell the difference between them and a new set. and it cost me under £200
  16. sorry mate iv'e never taken them out
  17. i have a problem with my recaros, the fuse keeps blowing i have replaced it several times, you can be sat in the car without operating the seats and the fuse will blow itself any ideas?
  18. so much for vw trained tecnicians then!!
  19. i have heard many stories about camshaft position sensors affecting power when faulty but does anyone know if the crankshaft sensor can have the same effect just had the ecu read and there were faults recorded with this sensor i dont know whether it is just in my mind but the car does not seem to have the same get up and go it did when i first purchased it
  20. yea positive mate checked all the markings out
