hi everyone, are mk1 and mk2 front wings the same? also what are the other body related differences? Cheers

Thanks for all the help you've been giving with my corrado. Was wondering how many of you were at the castle combe club gti inc the corrado OC meet. My grey 91 16v was there but didn't do the parade lap (had to get home) but was wondering if there had ben any photo's posted of the club and/or parade lap.

Thank you all. Need a complete built block really. I'll check out what price one from Vw might be, Thinking of a recon block and head to save on labour then straight swap using the accilaries from mine. It's been trailered to Raw engineering who make a Seven type Kit called the Striker who are friends of mine. Should be in good hands. It's gona getin the way f their usual work but I need my corrado back. A price from Bighands would be good to know though. 2.0 bottom end sounds interesting might keep looking for 1781 first though.

My corrado gave up on friday night. Big end has gone. Noisy like you wouldn't believe. I need to find a new block has any one any suggestions where I can get one from?

not so pronounced at low revs,but from 3000rpm onwards there is a loud rattle/ fast repetitve tapping. more so than a worn tappet sound. it's louder under load, but even light throttle at these rpms produces the same so i'm not sure that it's pinking. suggestions have been everything from cam chain is slack to piston slap! any ideas. did anyone find the sound clip of 'timing chain death rattle' after? many thanks. Neil

to find the right part on GSF or Eurocarparts. I couldn't find anything to match. It's a temperature sender for the cooling fan to come on after igntion off if engine temp is high

is there a correct name for this?? It's the one thats located off the back of the cam cover right next to the cam pulley

I'm gona order some new oil pressuer switches from GSF for my 1800 16v what are the pressure ranges ofr each one 0.3bar> ? 1.8 bar > ? Thanks

If there is no click from the starter motor then either the solenoid valve has seized (you may be able to free it with a gentle tap, but may stick again) Or the connections on the starter have a bad connection either in the starter itself or a bad connection going to it.Give the wires a wiggle to see if you can make a connection. Most likely though you'll have to replace the starter or just the solenoid if you are able to dissasemble it.

1.8 16V

when oil temp gets to around 85c the first oil pressure buzzer is sounding. it stops when it switches to the higher rpm switch. The car has 10w40 semi synth oil and a recent oilchange which helped cooling. Was worried about the high temps. thought at first the oil was thinning at these higher temps causing reduced pressure. The cooling system seems to do it's job but as my water temp guage isn't working i cant be sure of what temps its getting to. the rad fan works fine and no water is being lost. Has any one had a similar problem. i've heard the oil pressure switches are a known problem??many thanks.

Not sure they would go to a relay. Fuse positions however are. Fuse 1 = H/light low beam, left. Fuse 2 = H/light low bem , Right Fuse 11 = H/light High beam, left Fuse 12 = H/light High beam, Right

My headlining has fallen away from. it's still held in by the edging, but how can you fix it?

Many thanks. i'll look in to it.

Yeah ill take one tomorrow. ps My 91' grey pearl is H-YYR does that mean they were registered at a similar time?

What is the sensor located next to the throtle? on 1.8 16v

Could be something choking the fuel some where. Posibly fuel filter. My old 205 did this for a while. There was something drawn up from the tank which blocked an inlet in the carb. It drew itself through eventually. I changed the fuel filter as procedure. maybe the pump can draw enough fuel to start the car when its priming on ignition switch in pos1 then its starved.

I'm using BP Ultimate exclusivly 97Ron. I've not changed the fuel filter since i've owned it, which is around 8 months not sure when this has been done before. Do you think the fuel is being restricted? Do you think the knock sensor might be faulty sensor and not preventing predetination? The 4K Noise happens reguadless of load. It only occours at 4K. I thought first it was just something vibrating through resinant frequency, but it sounds more mechanical. . Its quite a metallic noise.Kind of like 'chreeeeessshhhh'!! It lasts the duration of being at 4K.

Hoping for your wealth of knowledge. When the engine is under load a rattle, which i can only describe sound like a diesel engine kind of noise occours. this happens around 3000RPM and continues through the rev range. It sounds as if its from the top end. Cams/Tappets area. Any Ideas? Also Dead on 4000RPM there is another higher pitched grinding rattle like noise that i've no idea about.
