had a speed sensor problem on my VR6 on the sender and pickup, it seems to be located at the fron of the engine near the engine mount (reason for mine packing up was engine mount damage) mine misfired between 3500-4500rpm and VW diagnosed it as speed sensor, think the whole lot cost me about £900 for repair as the had to take gearbox out or something, bit of a big job i was told. only reason it was £900 was because they was on 2 seperate occasions costing about £40 each time. Hope this helps and hope your C will be up and running soon! Aaron

First off thanks to everybody that replied, a great help! was too late to read the reply on the resistor and had already ordered the transformer pack. Have just fitted it and given it a test and it works now on all 4 speeds :lol: cant really be bothered to put everything back together yet as its snowing :mad: the part number for the whole pack is 536959263 and this all come to £57.99 would have rather spent 40p but hey its done now. Thanks again and happy Corrado'ing Aaron great web page henny!

Thanks for the reply, I will post an answer weather it was 100%. Thanks again!

Hello, Corrado VR6 L reg, 95k. Interior fan is only working on speed 4, getting nothing from the other speeds, first of all checked the switch is ok a little squirt of the trusty wd40 seems ok, took fan out and checked that i am getting voltage to it, disconnected the loom it has 5 cables going to it, earth and 4 power leads, am getting 12 volts to each cable on different speeds, ok there! took fan out of plastic housing and disconnected it from the little transformer and reconnected the loom on speed 1 to 3 am getting a voltage of 0.445volts on the output of the transformer on speed 4 am getting an output of 11.93volts. Would anybody agree that I have diagnosed the problem as transformer fault? Am gonna pop into VW's tomorrow and prob order a new one and see what they say, has anybody had this problem or know how much a new one will be? Thanks for taking the time to read this and would appreciate any replies. Thanks again Aaron

ok, shall have a look around, see if i can find somebody, Anybody know a good VW place in the Cambridge area? Thanx for all the help people, much apreciated.

did some hard driving between some roundabouts and got brakes smoking like anything, when finally come to a stop to investigate (brakes where so hot they didn't work at all) smoke was pooring off, got EBC pads all round and was expecting them to be better than that! not driven that hard since. good fun tho'! :mrgreen:

Thanx for the quick replys, as usual not good news :cry: am on hol's next week so will have to put it into VW's to take a look at hopefully it'l turn out to be something not too serious (touch wood!) will keep you posted as to what they find, Thanks again for getting back quick. Aaron

Hello, new to all this, Got a Corrado VR6 some months ago had huge misfire at high-ish revs 3500rpm went into VW and diagnosed as speed sensor pickup, few months later same sort of thing speed sensor sender caused but damaged front engine mount, both quite expensive jobs. car back now no misfire all good! but...now car is ticking over very low 300rpm or so, occasionally as i pull up to traffic lights sometimes stalls out. also when in slow moving traffic car stalls a few times then the revs start to search all over the place and is generally a pig to drive, am not wanting to put it back to VW as is getting expensive and I would like to learn something about my engine. Have read in previous mailings about ISV. How would i find this and do what to it? would this have any part in my poor little C not feeling too well? Also is there anyway of picking the revs up? Thanks for your time Aaron
