Should of read your last post, you're colour must be diamond black metalliic like mine, alot of people say it looks greyish. Your paint code will be on a sticker in your boot and in your service book. If its LA9V its diamond black metalliic ...... -
Worst thing some has said about ur Corrado
carpoid replied to CorradoDriver's topic in General Car Chat
Its not that i think that, just the fact that its not a Scirroco, looks similar i know but wish people would get it right !! No insult to the Rocco. -
Was that a VAG Black Temp Sensor ?? Just that i put a GSF one in mine and it read about 20 degrees cooler till it gave up and died. I've got a VAG one in there now and my temps are about the same as yours, changed the thermostat and switch also but no change.

Is your Corrado your "best" car, or your runabout?
carpoid replied to PhatVR6's topic in General Car Chat
Didn't plan on mine being a daily deiver when i brought over here with me but i love driving it too much. I should cycle to work really, its only up the road, but i love looking at it parked up across the road !! Cheers me up at the end of a shit day to get in it and go for a cruise up the local beaches. -

Someone shouted out 'Scirroco' at me the other night, not happy !! Then probably even worse than that, some guy i know spotted me driving past where he works, later that weekend he says 'Hey Carps, you've got a little Jap car havn't you' Grrrrrrrrrr -
Like it !! I like your window spoiler, where's that from? I'm from Ipswich originaly, where in Suffolk are ya ??

Thats true, i did think about changing it, the last one i put in was from GSF along with the black one aswell. The black sensor stopped working within 6 months or so. Worth a go! Cheers

Cheers mate, i'll look out for ya !!!

Nice one VEEDUBBED, that should keep me busy ..........
-
Havn't thought of that one mate thanks, i'll add it to the possible gremlin list, probably a dumb question but where is it located ?? Jump up and down with your arms in the air or something if you see me !! Any other suggestions people ??

Keeps breaking down !! I've been through 2 coils and a hall sender recently, i've checked the alternator for unusual output so i've no idea why this has happened ?? All the earths seem fine aswell. So my latest problem is that after driving it for an hour or so, it will have an eratic idle, sometimes it will cut out on me, then take a while to start again.Sounds like an old banger that hasn't been started for a year or so, taking time to get the revs up and the spluttering away. If i pull over and stop it for a bit though, it will start and run fine. ??? Does this sound like my fuel pump is about to die ?? Any help greatly appreciated, not too many Mechanics with experience of Corradi down 'ere !

I got mine for 500 on a group buy, buti 'm sure i've seen them in an advert in PVW for around the 500 mark, can't remember the name of the place. Thought it was Venom but they're 620 there ....... http://www.venommotorsport.com/shop/index.html

Jeremy from justmatz bought these to E38 last year to prove that they exist. After some research i think they're 4x108 myself though ....... So what number is stamped on yours Furk'z ?? Not RS 003's ?? What offset is stamped on them ???
-
I've had a similar problem recently, turned out that first my hall sender gave up, then my distributor came loose cos some idiot didn't tighten it up properly !! It felt really sluggish, started to run very hot, then it cut out as soon as i tried to move. Very rough idle like you said aswell. Sounds like you're timing is out for sure.

Hi Steve, cheers mate, but i didn't get a pic of it. Its gone over to a well known VW Mechanic in Sydney, just looking for ideas really, just hope he 'll sort it ! I've got a feeling that the Coil has shitted itself.
-
Ended up getting towed home today !! Engine cut out after spluttering for a bit, popped the bonnet, and it looks like all the wires around the coil and TB have got very hot and are black from a possible small fire ?? Was checking things over and then smoke started to come up from underneath the TB/Coil area, but i couldn't see exactly where from. Any ideas !! ???

May be coming back to the fold already......

Glad i'm not the only one !! Thought i might be slightly mad to ship mine half way round the world !! Shame about the Porsche Jay,it looked awesome, i really want one aswell, but i couldn't ever sell my C to help pay for it !! -
Still lovin my 16' BBS RS 003's (4x100 et25)

Will I sell my Rado?? 24v V6 - PVW Cover Car Jan 06
carpoid replied to 24V Renshaw's topic in General Car Chat
I would love to own your car Jay, along with alot of other people on here, it is one of the best Corrado's ever, but i think people are put off because for what it would cost them, they could make a pretty good project out the Corrado that they already have. How much do you think it's worth ?? Would you take 11K ?? -
Jim's Corrado - ciao to the Fiat! Hello to.. (P64)
carpoid replied to Jim's topic in Members Gallery
Nice one on getting another Corrado Jim !! What size tyres does it have on those 16's ?? I was suprised how much lower mine was when i switched from standard 195/50/15 to 195/40/16. Used to scrape all the time until i put 195/45/16's on. I'm not saying you should try different tyres but put the standard BBS' on and see what a difference it makes. Looks good mate, will look better on standard BBS' though IMO, actually i'm suprised you like those but not RS 301's !! Enjoy !!
