the MFA works off the Vacuum produced by the engine so is only a guide to what sort of MPG you should be getting.... If she's that thirsty, then I'd guess that your Lambda sensor (or it's wiring) is dead... If you look down the back of the engine you'll see a multiplug on the rear engine mount. Disconnect this and see if it makes any difference to the running of the engine (Be carefull! the exhaust manifold is down there and is HOT!) If there's no difference, it's new Lambda sensor time...

if you look at the wire carefully, you'll find it has a VERY thin white tracer on it... ;)

Valvers do have cam belts, and they use the same tensioner as the 8V engines too... dirt cheap and a doddle to fit. You can replace the stud, but, to be honest, I don't really see the point unless the thread has become damaged. The tensioner CAN be replaced without disrupting the timing as long as you're careful. The cam chain needs the cams removing to be fitted, so NO, you can't change it without disrupting the timing.

oops.... :|

sounds VERY nice through this £3K pair of Genelec speakers I'm sat in front of... 8) :lol:

why get a new flywheel? Did the car used to judder as you let the clutch up? If it did then I suppose it's possible that the old flywheel could do with a skim, but the chances of warping one are next to zero.... With regard to the VR6 clutch... it's uprated AND cheaper than the G60 clutch and needs NO modifications to fit it instead of the G60 one... Ummm... think that's a bit of a no-brainer to be honest... ;) :lol: I just looked it up and it's only 50p cheaper now at GSF... still worth doing though... 8) 18973L CLUTCH KIT-228mm LUK CO VR6 8/91 > 86.00 Oh, and corradowales, no, the VR6 clutch WON'T fit your car... your car has a 215mm clutch, the VR6 has a 228mm, so you'd probably need a new flywheel to get it to fit... :|

you been making your cars remote control as well changing the dash/engine etc Jay?!? :? ;) :lol:

oops... not good to hear mate... :(

bought a moon roof.... 8)

thank god for that.... 8) Good to hear you got it going properly now Phat... Can't wait to see this little beasty in the metal, shame you're not taking it to Inters yet though... :|

NOT me... My J-Dub's still safely stored away in my garage awaiting a little TLC... and a front wing... :roll: :lol:

niiiiiccceee.... 8)

hey, I know pretty much not a lot about the VR6 or 2.0 engines in Corrados 'cos I've never played with either... there's time yet though... ;) :lol:

bugger... Looks like the front bumper's dead too... :( Suppose it's a good job I just found an old friend I'd managed to loose touch with... and he happens to own a VW-audi breakers in Manchester! :D Just got a complete moonroof for £65! 8) I'll ask him to keep an eye out for a wing for me... 8) Thanks anyway matey... 8)

no idea... sorry... I only know that the VR6 clutch has the same dimensions and number of splines on the drive as the G60 one, but has uprated springs in both the pressure plate and for the dampening on the friction plate... 8)

DICK DALE, have a look in the Looooooonnnnggggg Lupo wipers thread... all the part numbers are in there on the last couple of pages... be warned though, the set will now cost you around £90 from VAG as they've put the prices up... :(

fatdaz, it's not a Green G60 is it? If you get the clutch done, get hold of a VR6 one from ECP or GSF , it's exactly the same to fit, but it's uprated and will take more power than the G60 one... 8) strangely it's also cheaper than the G60 one... :? :roll: 8)

h100vw, isn't that how Digifant does it anyway? 8)

that's the live from the alternator and needs to be connected to the starter motor's + terminal... If you've connected it to earth and started the car, the odds are you've just killed your alternator... :roll:

Andi, tried that and it's pants... The best I found was tippex... glows up nice and blue/white under UV... 8)

ah, furry-muff... 8)

fantastic book.... Watch out for Big Brother... Think it's already come true though... *go back to sleep - There's nothing to see here.... *

fecking typo... that was supposed to read 130... :roll: I thought that red D red I was 130 BHP on a PD engine?

isn't that gonna be a 150bhp engine rather than a 115? Looks nice anyway... hope you're happy with it Jim... 8)
