Hi guys, Just need some help with the throttle switch wires on a 1.8 16v, I believe that pin 1 is at the top and it's the black yellow wire but then I'm lost and the plug on my car is not original. It's the connection on th TB. If any one gets the chance to look 100 internets to them Cheers.

Tell him to get on here and pm me, although it may be a bit steep for a non runner depending on condition and so on. Yeah dude TDI seems like a perfect car to me. I'm thinking late non pd AFN or just go for a PD. good thing about the AFN is that it is probs the best power to mpg that VW have made and less electronics than a PD. Choices choices ;)

Hmm, could be interested in a project (I'm thinking of going TDI) what does he want for it? cheers

bad luck mate, just keep a record of everything like when phone calls are made and who you speak to etc. Why not try and buy back the car and repair it your self even if its a write off?

Seen yours mate, looks lovely but a bit much for my budget. good luck with your sale :)

Hi Guys! Been quite a while since I have posted - last posted back in 2008 I think!! I'm thinking of coming back to the corrado world but there seems to be very few in the north near Newcastle? So basically if anyone has one for sale I would be happy to have a look - 2l16v or 8v would be perfect. Also if anyone is after a cheap B5.5 Passat TDI I have one for sale Cheers Chris

Had a bad experience back in 2008 with them - I traveled a fair distance to see a mint bodies 16v, lets just say it was more than one colour! could have changed by now however.

Hi ALL!! Long time no see! Hows everyone.. I have a quick question, i have posted on CGTI but its about Corrados so i have come back to see you all. I was reading an article about the new Scirocco today and the article mentioned a few of the reasons that the Corrado failed to sell well and why it was so expensive. One this they mentioned was the passive rear steering. Now we have all heard of this and i always put it down to the rear top mounts but the article mentioned that this was down to 'expensive toe adjusting bearings' that 'adjusted to match the front steering angles based on loading' Now the interesting thing here is that i have had a Corrado, 3 Golfs and 6 Sciroccos and i have always used the same rear bearings from GSF or ECP listed as golf1/2 have i been getting the wrong rear bearings all these years? Have all of us Corrado owners lived a lie? Further to this i have been looking on the ECP site and basically all rear bushes are listed for golf also, e.g 620440640 GOLF/JETTA MK2 RR AXLE BUSH GOLF/JETTA MK2 84-92 £14.65 and REPLACEMEN n/a 610440690 RUBBER STOP-LOWER PO/GO2/3/JE2/VE/CO Lower bearing ring £4.37 DANSK n/a 610440700 RUBBER STOP-UPPER PO/GO2/3/JE2/VE/CO Upper bearing ring SO whats the crack? Surely the rear of a corrado is meant to belong to the passat but i cant find any mention of it. Have ECP been selling the wrong parts for years?

so what are thes bulbs like? worth the money?

Hey all, Sorry its not a corrado question but i think you guys may be able to help. i want to know what it would take etc to get ABS on a mk1 chassis (in fact on a scirocco) I would probs use teh system of a 16v corrado or early mk3, just a 3 chan setup with no lanch etc. thanks any info is gr8 8)

tool mods, thats what i like lol. the other option is an oxygen sensor socket, it has a side cut away to allow you to get hold of the alan or what ever depending on the strut.i got mine from that online tool shop, but the name escapes me. (Ill post if it comes back :))

same in my old 2l, not sure if it was the right part or not as was done by previous owner.

you can use the one from a golf (mk2) oil burner and they are solid rubber.

sounds like pressure prob, you got any leaks - air or fuel

Im fairly sure that you just need to place the dizzy back to its correct starting position on the 2l as it will adjust the timing from this base point. If its to far one way or the other it can not fully compensate as it only has something like 10 degrees of adjustment or something like that. basically get everything in the right place and its all good in my experiance a timing light to set the dizzy to about 6-8 degrees will normally give you a good base timing. good luck.

what rubber you got? with 200+ hp you want the best and nothing less

hi all, Im back with a supercharger question :) so if anyone knows mercs please help! i have a merc CLK (2001) with the 2L charged engine. Normally its spot on but some times it looses power and the ecu reports un-metered air. This is not due to a leak as it has all been checked etc. The specialist has put it down to the 2 valves that seem to regulate the release of waste boost into the exhaust system or some such magic (he knew what they did but I forget the exact function) I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to re route/delete these valves as per the corrado situation. i just want to rule them out as the specialist will not be able to take the car until after xmas. Plus it might sound good as when I had the one closest to the TB off the car sounded class! The valves I am talking about both connect to a pipe that connects to the inlet just above the TB. Ill post a pic in the morning Any help is appreciated guys, thanks as always :)

we need pics!!!! but i would be tempted by the bm i have to say

oh dear :lol:

Hi all, having left the world of corrado i now have a mundano :roll: . anyone know where to buy ford parts. Im thinking the ford version of gsf/ecp etc.. cheers :)

the aux pulley drives the oil pump so it does not need to be lined up like it does on the 8v.

im not sure, i think it aligns with a different place. if you align the cam sprocket the dizzy should be fine lined up with teh mark but you will probs have to check it with a timing light if it has been messed with. 6 degrees btdc is best for 2.0. SO basically all you have to do is 1. line up the cam sprocket using the inner mark and the front surface of the head 2. line up the crank pully with the mark on the pully (aims upwards), the TDC MArk or bring the motor to tdc with something in the sparkplug hole as flusted says. 3. set the dizzy to its tdc mark by moving the houseing (2 bolts, one each side of the dizzy) 4. belt it all up. use 2 allen keys against each other to tension the pully. start the bad boy and set ign. timing with a light - 6 degrees btdc or something like that anyway, its late and im tired hth

on the cam sprocket use the insude mark not the outer one. the inside should be level with the head surface at the front.

i would say that timing could indeed cause this. i remember a while ago i had my scirocco stor timing set wrong and the mani was red hot, the oil tmp was going crazy and the fan couldnt keep it cool. i realised my mistake set it right and all was well.

are you sure that your timing is right?
