can any one explain the different numbers on relay and do they correspond to the positioning in the fuse box. i have a few gaps where relays should be . is this right or should all positions have them in .
-
is there any way that i could bypass the immo . i know it is a big risk and i am sure i live in one of the worst parts of mancunia. but it would only be for a short time , so i could at least get it to a garage.
-
take it to an auto electrician. could the immo be closin off my fuel pump? just read in the sticky that early c use voltage pulses (blink codes ) to find faults. never heard of this before. is there another system that reads these codes? is an immo problem usually easy/hard to sort?
-
cheers triggermyson. have you any advice on what i should do next then . and what will stop my motor playin up.

had a machanic out to the c last night as i haven't been able to start it since i returned from spain last week . and he said it was something to do with the electrics . the fuel pump primes up and the engine starts running for about thrty secs then it cuts out . the mechanic said he thought the immobiliser was cutting the fuel pump off. i have just been looking at the vag-com scanning and help thread and dont fully understand wether i can get my c hooked up to this system . i hav a 1.8 16v 91 . i have just looked under the gaiter inside the car and see that i have only one of the 2x2 ports . can anyone shed any light on the situation please. oh i have also had the battery off this week. thanks wes :x

cheapest quote so far 1833.89 so i would be saving nearly a grand. but this is the best bit.............. accidental damage excess 700.00. i think they think i am made of money , obviously the insurance people dont own corrados. gonna keep searchin.
-
gonna start the search for quotes again . how boring and frustrating is it ,when you put all your info into the comp and then they cant do any thing for you or there is no saving at all . allot of companies just laughed when i initially wanted the insurance .gonna try brentacre now............... back in a mo to let yall know
-
sat on my backside for too long only got my finger out two months before i turned 25 then waited till my birthday before purchasing the corrado as i thought it might make a difference to the insurance costs. obviously not as much as i expected.

robbing swines i know . but if i want to be in da club i got to pay da man.
-

-
just thinking about next years insurance. and was wondering how nuch of a reduction insurance companies give to customers . the corrado is my first car and i paid wait for it................. 2750.00 pounds. i am 25 and have made no claims at all. how much do you guys and gals think will get taken off when its time to renew my policy.

anything with a rolling bass line is always good pumping from your corrado. tendancies to listen to roni size, andy c , asian dub foundation also beastie boys no 1fan. fave tune live at pjs fave album check your head . the use of double bass on this album is well funky.

hey all am in spain at the moment really missing the car , and this bright white focus diesel estate makes me feel like a taxi driver. so i thought that when i come back for summer i will bring my corrado along . does anyone have any good advice for a long journey like this and what precautions are good/bad .
-
cheers walesy but do you know what a KIT consists of ?
-
what the difference is between aclutch for a 1.8 16v quoted £120 plus vat and a clutch kit quoted at £60 plus vat . the first one was from a vw dealers and the other was from a mate whoworks in the industry. any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

hey there mr renshaw . i think our paths may have crossed at the m. e. n arena afew weeks back . i have the dodgy plate that reads d16gse . nice wheels . have really only got into the cor scene a few months ago and it would be wicked to meet and have a look at your motor and maybe a bit of advice on what to do next and where to go with mine . i live near the new city stadium , its a lovely area honest. wes -
southport beach . not a good idea at all . sand every where but i am sure thats just common sense . then when we where on the car park my "friend" jumpped in the drivers seat and reversed it up the sand bank . yeah thanks for that buddy , preceeded to give him a good kicking after that.
