hi guys i have a 2ltr 16v and i was wondering if anyone knows the wiring for the thermo fan switch , on the switch i have terminals marked + 1 2 the loom is Red Red / Black Red/ white if some one knows the correct positions of the wires to the switch and could let me know i would be very greatfull as the previous owner has cut of the multi plug and i want to make sure its wired up right thanks guys :)

hi guys need a few more thoughts on my car please :) , my car cut out again on wednesday morning on the way to work and wouldnt start again :x so i got it towed home complments of my wife , anyway i left it untill that night when i got home to have a look at it , had to put a boost pack across the battery as i had flantend it trying to start it earlier , the bloody thing burst in to life much to my supprise anyway it ran ok until you reved it up to around 4000 rpm then it would cough and fart a bit , i left the car until today to have a propper look at it as ive been to busy to before today , with a timming light across the plug leads individualy i can pick up a miss fire at around 4000 rpm and across the king lead its the same , so im thinking plugs leads and a coil to eliminate the fault , should i go to VW this time as i changed most of this last year with stuff from GSF and it seems to be at fault again , also whilest testing everything today my cooling fans didnt cut in at all so i switched them on manualy at 110 c i think its the thermo switch again as well , does any one know the pin numbers in relation to the 3 coloured wires to the switch as i want to know which one goes were as i think it could be wired up wrong via the previous owners attempt at rewiring the switch as before the fans stopped working it only ever worked just before 110c . any suggestions would be appreciated thanks guy oh yes its a 2ltr 16 v :oops:

possible a new job for an ex ferrari f1 driver then lol

cool if you do i would be interested when you finished with her but i some how get the feeling i would be waiting for some time mate :lol:

ive had this little beastie for 15 months , spent most of my pocket money that my wife lets me have on it but theres always more to do , part of the fun i think , i would love to get my hands on a Aqua Blue VR6 though i just love the colour change in different lights , how long you had your loverly looking VR ?

yep shes not to bad , i do agree on the colour :x-mas: but ive also got my eye on a rather sad looking abandond dragon green G60 , would be better in Aqua Blue Pearl though LOL

thanks mate have a real good one yourself and i like to think of my corrado more as a work in progress that way im not to unhappy when its broke LOL

on the second picture is that shaded section just colour difference on the rubber or has the rubber started to split , if its split then change the top mounts asap if not then dont worry to much about it mine are the same and i changed my suspension this year :x-mas:

well this week my car has been very bad its stayed frozen for about 3 days and its not being nice to me anymore , hell who cares ive just finished work for christmas so i know i dont care LOL gives me plenty of time to fix the heater , fix the lights ( there like candles ) change the hand brake cables ( it points at the back window ) should keep me busy for about a day aslong as it dosent rain and the fog lifts so i can find it on my drive way anyway wish you all a very merry christmas and a very happy new year to all you guys :x-mas:

nice one crazey dave i will try that in the morning , Adam Darby i will see if i can borrow a dizzy form someone if poss and phil k if all else fails i think i may have to contact prim thanks guys for your advise its good to speak to people who are willing to throw suggestions about :D

mine has been doing somthing simuler to yours , ive disconected the cold start injector on the injector rail and it seems to be ok at the mo , i know its not a cure for the problem but it may help with the starting . aon hello and welcome as well :D

could your cat be blocked , i had one on a car at work , not a vr6 but a v6 gv 4x4 and one of the cats had fallen appart internaly and blocked the exhaust causing the engine to run baddly and the exhaust to get very very hot , may be worth a quick look

thats somthing ive been concerend about but have no option to re fit the sensors as the de cat pipe has no way of accomadating them , , anyone got any suggestions on that issue ?? . the car has now been running for 2 days with out the cold start injector connected and the car seems to be going really well , but im still not sure what the real problem is , any suggestions on the o2 sensor would be greatly appreciated could i just unplug the sensor and re wire the plug so its reading closed loop all the time ? :iamwithstupid:

CrazyDave its got k jetronic injection system on it so i will look at the loom in the morning , both throttle switches seem to be ok definatly make cliking sound on contact , Kongo 127 i fitted a new ignition switch in the summer to no avail mate and super charged sorry if my top comments seemed sarcastic i had had a really crap day struggling with various car problems and was feeling a little flusterd so sorry mate if i upset you , any other suggestions would be great guys :)
