2corrados

HI all Been away for a while, but been on this forum for 15 plus years Now i can't seem to post anywhere except here My Corrado VR6 came with me to portugal 14 years ago, never used, now after Brexit, I still haven't imported it, now it's a real problem to do it. wanted to list it in the for sale forum, as I've founs a shipper whio can get it back to the uk Thanks for any help in what I'm not doing right Dic

no problem kongo and thanks for the welcome. We also have friends in colares and sintra so we travel there too. just foundout ecp do european delivery so thats gonna help,cos the prices here are a bit steep........ will see you on msn when I get signed in Dic

hi kongo yep We have emigrated permantly to near aljezur, but I have to return to UK to finish some work. Weare here to stay.

and both of them...............

we'll try this one, and ref parts, we have already had fernando at vw Portimao in stitches when we told him we had 2 corrados.............sure he was writing next years bonus cheque already for achieving his parts sale targets

gonna try and put up a couple of pics and see if it works never had much luck with theis but weather is fab, beer is gold, and we have a round yellow orb type thing in the sky that you lot in thw uk might remeber as the SUN...............lol sorry, gloating over, i've got to come back for 3 months to finish a contract, then i'm out here for good. with the rest of the family, who are here for good now. PS Mum loves her rado too...................

well quickly................ we got here, ferry was force 8 (bouncy)spain was wet, Portugal was dark Got here at 3am went to bed and woke up 4 hours later for removal lorry. pics got forgotten about, but I do have a few will be back soon only 1 bonnet lift.........................for the misfire which returned again

Well the day has finally come. The weather here is shitte, the government has lost the plot, and the family and I have decided to leg it to Portugal. Today however should be interesting. We leave Liverpool at about midday and head for Portsmouth for the ferry to Spain. Once there we head for Aljezur in Portugal (Atlantic coast Algarve) Interesting Why? Because we are taking 2 corrados. A 1991 1.8 16v which cost me 500 bucks. Pinched the leather interior and gave it to my mum(Ahhhhhhhhhhh)and number 2 is a 1993 2.0l 16v. Cost a bit more, but she looks good. We will be taking pics along the way and will post some up when we get there. More to the point tho, if you see us with a bonnet up (Not unexpected) PLEASE lend us a hand. Enjoy the UK and we'll see you when we come back ................. BYeeeee (For now)

Hey Deluk Have had 2 1.8 16v and still have one, i have 1 2.0 16v and a vr6. vr6 is the only way to go, but make damn sure the engine is good. It can be expensive as I am finding out, but there again the car was cheap. Hold out for the right one, it will be worth it. Dic

panlel meaning if you take out the runners, you can't mount the sunroof panel so you have a hole in the roof. headling is bonded with.............ummmmmmmmmm dunno that one, but there is some glue but not sure what it's called.........oops guiness calling ttfn

well Ian, I have 2 corrados to deliver to portugal in the next few weeks, and then have to shout at the garage to complete the resurrection of my vr6. So if anyhting falls off then it can saty there and if the car stops, that can stay there too..................oh and I've got to swap an interior over this weekend. lucky me, oh and come to warrington on thursday to collect a bike.........oh and i'm off to commit guiness..........now

on the top side towards the front................owww, theres another knuckle gone........

the problem is that until you pull it apart, there might be other bits you need. General wear will stop it from working, so until it's apart, tis impossible to say, but do it all in one hit, cos removing the headlining, although not difficult is time consuming and annoying Dic

you might need longer than 2 weeks, but you can at least get something else started before you have to wait another week for parts that vw stealers say doesn't exist Hehe Have fun

i got my lambda sensor form a local car parts supplier. It was NGK i believe. Access is awkward unless you have a pit, or ramp, but electrical connectors are simple. Give it a go, and see what happens Dic

it might. i don't remember having any issues with mine, but for love nor money, i can't remember exactly how i did. sorry

yes should have a lambda sensor, bit of a git to get at, but a good replacement is about £55. Yes could have an effext, but i believe sensor only comes into ecu computations when engine is hot, so not gonna make a difference at cold. Did you check pipes and "muffler" between air intake and isv. Make sure its clean and not blocked. Leak down compression test is better but takes longer and invloves more, but a compression test to start is good. Good luck Dic

Ian, just had a look. I have a right hand one whch looked great until I took it off, and it fell apart. The only others I have are on a complete sunroof assembly, which is destined for my VR6. The one currently in the vr6 will be removed but not for a few weeks yet, and I know there are 2 good ones on there. Sorry can't be more help Dic

well, got the motor back, all fixed for mot. The hot misfire I think I have solved with the usual help from the forum, turned out to be the coil. I swapped the one of my 2l 16v and took it out for an hour. Got really warm, and behaved itself so hope it's sorted. Bought a new coil and will fit that tomorrow. Thanks to everyone, and if it comes back i'll let you know. Dic

smiffy, you will find that this is caused by wear on the rear runners. there is no fix other than what I explained to the red baron. If you get stuck, give us a nudge and I'll see if I can help. Red Baron, well done, knew you would get there in the end. Which side thingy bobs did you need and I'll have a look. Ref getting the trim back in, tilt the roof first, and then try it, you can see where the bits are going then too. Been having real trouble getting onto the forum, must be this debug mode thingy. Dic

news from the mot.pretty good really. have not found any fault with dizzy, so still hunting for problems any further help would be appreciated. 2 connectors were for the abs diagnostics, nothing else. someone else must have had the same problem Dic

i use copper slick to regrease it, but it says to use specific stuff, but heh, grease is grease unless it gets hot. Sure the part you have there should be part of the refurb kit. These were the bits that were broken on mine, and came as part of the kit. Maybe there is one more kit than I thought. ?

could be any number of issues. Fuel supply sounds the most likely if it is only under acceleration. New filter and get the pump operation checked and see where you go form there. Dic

this one has 2 twin connectors. must be for something ? Anyway gone for MOT so not back until Friday. Will see what I can do wirth it over w/e but any thoughts on cutitng out problem would be appreciated.

mmmmmmmm leave that one to the garage. my vr6 is engineless at the mo, having rebore and head rebuild. despite having 3 others to use, they are just not the same as my "baby" Good luck
