skid

So dont waste my money on any brembo, tarox, EBC, Pagid discs or pads is that what you are saying?

Thanks but what if i dont want to go down that route and just replace what i have?

Going to change out the front discs and pads on the project VR6, just wondering what you recommend guys. Just for normal day to day driving, no track stuff. I got the existing discs skimmed when i got the car as they had no wear at all just heavy rust pits. But unfortunately one of the discs must be warped as i am getting pedal pump. So do i just get a set from my local motor factors? Shop about and get some tarox/black diamond etc? I looked on GSF and i never seen anything fancy just basic discs/pads.

Alex thats what was happening with mine. If you look at above posts by myself you might have the same problem.

Funny even the break down mechanic nor the AA mechanic even thought of doing that. Every day is a school day .....and yet another school boy error...lol.

Yaaaaaaaaaa problem now fixed. After great discussions with mate, and already to start reprogramming the ecu,immobiliser today to accept the key etc. I couldnt get a signal on VAGcom for the Instriments or the immobiliser so checked the fuses and hey presto NO 16 instrument cluster fuse was gone, replaced that and just tried the car and it kicked into life. Cleared all the previous fault codes and rechecked and everything was all clear. I just want to thank everyone who posted advice on this matter, everything was much appreciated. ---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ---------- Many thanks :)

Found this on this forum during my search to sort out my problems. Couple of pics down the page which show the sensor barrel ring and the box behind the dash it plugs into. http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?64005-Immobiliser-Problem ---------- Post added at 9:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 9:15 PM ---------- Is the sensor rings still available from VW? Was all corrados fitted with this set up? I wonder if my 91 G60 might have this so i can try it? Any experts in this near Aberdeen.......if so please help me.

[quote=RW1;855097 Needs an expert on it at the Corrado after you tested the sensor proximity and change the sensor & cable. . Could you translate that ?

Thanks RW1. Is it the key and coil sensor thats matched or the key and immobiliser box? What do you think has failed esp since it was running beforehand. Does the immobiliser box fail through time?

The problem is the Engine wont start and run, this is why i am doing this. Unfortunately i did have the multi plug disconnected when i did the first Vagcom.......DOH! But i did clear all the fualts then re scanned it, Above is what i got. Strange things is it was only vag commed last month and ISV and other sensors were replaced cleaned etc. ---------- Post added at 6:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 6:04 PM ---------- Yes it was disconnected before i did this. What now ? ---------- Post added at 6:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 6:07 PM ---------- Sunday evening, just done a scan again. Managed to clear other faults then tried to start the car 3 times then did a re scan and results below. 2 Faults Found: 17978 - Engine Start Blocked by Immobilizer P1570 - 35-00 - 00513 - Engine Speed Sensor (G28) 03-00 - No Signal Readiness: N/A Any more advice regarding this Immobiliser??

What now guys?????????

Well not progress today as we were at the Balmoral 10k race. But i did manage to check the key and the small chip is still in there, also gave it a quick spray with electrical cleaner( which also happened to spray back in my eye aarrrrrrrrrrrrgh). Removed the steering cowal and found the reader coil for it, managed to remove it at the next 2 connections and replug back in(too much a rush to clean them out today). but even that made no differance. Had to rush off for the race, just as well as the battery was getting flat trying to turn the car over so much over the past couple of days. So thats been charging all day while we were up at Balmoral. ISV and all air pipes have been checked and fully cleaned out last month. Again i must state how much i appreciate the help and replies guys :)

Ok so I am prob looking at immobiliser probs. So what now? Search under the cowal for the receiver coil, and wiggle it about? Or turn on ignition leave for 10 mins then start? Basically I have no idea what I am looking for :(. I did get a complete lock system off my mate, maybe swopping ignition barrel and key ? Any photos, links to guide me guys Much appreciated for all your help and replies.

I am not thinking its the CRANK sensor........I am thinking its the Camshaft sensor. As stated it must be getting fuel as we can smell it and it briefly kicks with higher revs if we give it some throttle, but dies instantly every time.

Its a 1995. Just spoke to alarm installer and he says it wont be alarm/immobiliser as its wired through starter motor and it wouldnt even initially start.

Well i did the battery disconnect then reconnect..........Nothing. Removed and cleaned the CPS...........nothing. AA came out and had a look but their diagnostic wont read a car older than 2001..............so not much help there. I am going to phone my Alarm istaller and check with him, also see if somebody local can Vagcom it......apart from that i am stumped, well till i get a new sensor at least.

MAF hasnt been touched since the run. But it was cleaned out previously and has been assembled correctly again ---------- Post added at 9:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 9:27 AM ---------- Thanks Roger, thats what i was thinking. Take out the orginal sensor and give it a clean, then re try to see if it starts. I have phoned VW and ordered a new one anyway, which will arrive on monday. Just spoke to a friend(VW tech) he says if it starts and instantly cuts out could be an Imobiliser problem, weather its the new alarm or the original VW imobiliser. He said to try disconnecting the Battery for 30 mins and trying again.

Gave my project VR6 its first decent run since i rebuild the top end. Seamed to run well out to my mates (35miles), stopped at his house and then tried to restart it 5 mins later for him to hear how the engine sounded but it wouldnt run. He initialy thought let it cool could jut be a hot VR6 prob. Anyway an hour later it still wouldnt start and run. It would start and cut out instantly every single time. Even giving it some throttle it would start rev up and cut out instantly again. Phoned the AA but unfortunetely they sent a local garage with no tools/diagnostic gear, so basically got the lorried back home last night. AA is going to come round to day to run it on the diagnostics (VCDS). It was checked recently and it had some faults which i sorted out, basically a couple of sensors, cleaned up ISV etc. Got it checked by Graeme(coullstar), initially it showed Camshaft position sensor, but once started the car it cleared. My gut feeeling is its the CPS.......................Any thoughts guys? Def cant be the Crank position sensor as its getting spark and fuel and intitially starting.??

Where did you find that Stonejag? Send me your payment details Cazza plz.

Let me know your prices inc postage to Aberdeen ;)

Looking for the rear "Corrado" script bage. Preferable chrome/brushed finish, but let me know what you have. Looking for the rear "vr6" bage also.

Is this sold?

Looks very much like the one my friend used on mine, but to be honest just phone them, i found them very helpful. ---------- Post added at 8:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 8:16 AM ---------- Sounds like a plan Greame, i think i am free in the afternoon. Just hope i get my sensors from VW today!

Cool, I got Boyner to read mine over the weekend. He istalled the software and i thought i only needed the cable to get it to work, little did i know the cable contains more than wires...lol. I will have to get the VR re, done in the next few days once i fit a couple of new sensors.

You got still got an older one Greame?
