  1. I've had a few G60's do that due to ECU problems.
  2. Converting to basic K will be harder than fixing the KE M. It is very rare for the metering head to fail, who has diagnosed it? It is more likely just that someone has altered the position of the 3-mm Co screw.

    fuse boxes

    Sorry but I don't understand the question :?
  4. High milage? If so it could be rings. Does it oil up number 6 plug?
  5. The left hand track rod MUST be set to 406-mm +/- 1-mm whilst off the rack and then never adjusted. All adjustments must be made on the right hand track rod. As for getting it roughly set to parallel, use a piece of wood across each tyre face and measure between them to make sure the distance is equal.
  6. It sounds like the pump is seizing due to standing for so long. The pump is the same as comparable Golf engines whatever yours is?
  7. Next time I get a late VR6 C in with an 021 906 258 CP ECU I will have to check that.

    Shaky Corrado

    Get a fault code read done, preferably by someone who can also set up a 9A, and few people can!
  9. By a gasket set for the bottom end from GSF and the original type is included. Why did you go genuine????
  10. Drive By Wire throttle gives many advantages (and also more work) and Motec (the M400 in this case) make the best ECU's money can buy at our level.
  11. Is the oil coming out of the return pipe? Who built the blower?
  12. It would be easiest to add a piggy back controller to add fuel when needed and alter the timing as required. Switching to EFI is a huge task and you would be better to rip out the KR and fit a 1.8T unit with an aftermarket ECU.
  13. A dizzy ECU won't work on a coil pack engine.
  14. Sounds like crank speed sensor, what engine is it and have you had a fault code read?
  15. Increasing the size of the rear discs would increase the lever arm effect (moment of force) so even with the original pads/discs, effective braking effect would be increased. An easy example of this is the 256 to 280-mm front conversion. Both these discs use the same pad and caliper, effectively anyway as both use 54-mm pistons. The problem with the discs looking puny is a problem and quite involved to cure.
  16. The Corrado G60 used ATB, ATA, AYL, AYN, CAW, CBA or CGP boxes and the Golf used AYC, AYN or CBA so yes, they are interchangeable. £625 sounds a bit cheap for a recon 02A box from VEGE, they may have quoted you on an 020 box. A VAG unit is £1328.76 inc VAT for a CBA but AYC and AYN went obsolete in April this year.
  17. When a Motec ECU (if you want DBW) costs over £3K!
  18. More than likely your ABS ECU is full of water after the glorious dry summer we have had. Have you had any water running down the passenger
  19. Your alternator is overcharging, it will need replacing. You must neutralise that acid, I have seen many Corrado's with battery trays rotted right through.
