  1. Finally got everything up and running no leaks YEAH!!!! I just don't understand one thing I put the 160 degree thermostat in and unless my gauge is off I am still running way over 160 degrees anyone have any ideas
  2. thanks I guess I will have to pick one up then cause is is spitting water.
  3. What is the part that is circled in red? She is leaking coolant right there at the T. I was wondering if a leak there would make my car run poorly cause it sure is and thats the only think I can find wrong. It is spitting and sputtering real bad
  4. the MAF is right behind the air box. it is the only sensor on the air intake. when I get home I will take some pictures and post them for you.
  5. I don't think its a cracked housing but i will double check tomorrow when i take it off again.
  6. I would but mine is really in good shape no need for another one. I think what happen was I did not let the RTV cure long enough and I may have not tightened the bolts properly so the housing may have not seeded right. Tomorrow I will get it all taken care up. But I will keep you in mind if I get pissed and throw it across the driveway and I need to get a new one!!!
  7. Changing my thermostat on the corrado has proven to be more of a chore then I expected. That thing is leaking like crazy. I changed the seal and RTVed the hell out of it and still it leaks anyone have any Ideas. I will post pictures and directions online as soon as I get her all buttoned up so if anyone else wants to take the challenge of thermostat changing they will at least have pictures to follow if they cant read LOL!!!
  8. Mine actually was a pretty easy fix my MAF plug had gotten loose somehow. It looked like it was plugged in but it really wasn't I plugged it in and vroom vroom she prrrrrrrrs like a kitten
  9. Where the throttle cable hooks to the throttle body (and I will put a picture up later. cant right now working) there is what appears to be a plunger that holds the throttle in place at idle. Fist off what is that part called? Second mine I believe is going bad cause I cant adjust my idle any lower then 1500rpm and then sometimes it drops to under 800rpm it very irregular. Does anyone have any advise?
  10. Thanks guys I got ahold of my VW dealer and got the hook up!!!!
  11. Does anyone know where I can get a screw kit for the interior of car?? I took it apart a few months ago and as you can guess screws, nuts and bolts are coming up missing!! I want to put it back together this week but need those damn screws LOL!!!
  12. hey can someone give me the part number for the stock wiper arms? I just want the stock arms for now since i rarely drive the car in the rain. Can anyone help me out? Also would any arms from a VW work i.e. a jetta golf any of those

    Wiper arms

    I am looking for some new wiper arms for my corrado. Is there one specific type I need or will any arm for a vw work?
  14. it only over revs in 5th and i have no idea if the clutch is original but i highly doubt it. the clutch works fine so i don't think that is it. i think it is the clutch or the gear box. the shifter feels like it is in neutral no matter if it is in gear or not. so i think it is the gearbox myself. can anyone tell me how to get the shifter out so i can put a short shift in. also i need some recomendations on a good short shifter.
  15. Yeah I can here the engine revving high. I thought it might be the tac as well but there is just to much power in fith well I think it is fith gear to be right.
  16. I am having the same problem. I am going to give the car a complete tun up an let you know if it does anything for it. Is the fuel filter on the drivers side frame rail like most cars? I have a '94 vr6 corrado
  17. I know they are way to high for third thats why i am trying to figure this out. When I shift from 4th to 5th the rpms drop just a little like 500 rpm so i know i am going into 5th but maybe it is not going all the way in. i don't know whether the gear box is screwed up or the transmission. like i said this is my first one and i have never worked on them before. just trying to get a experieced corrado owners opinion.
  18. In 5th gear it feels like I am in 3rd. At about 60mph I am running about 5500 rpms and the faster I go obviously the higher the rpm. I was just wondering if it is the gearbox that needs rebuilding or the transmission. I have 187,000 miles and the whole drivetrain is original. Also I was wondering how to get the shifter out of the car. This is my first corrado and I really know nothing about them. Most cars I have ever taken the shifter out of came out through the top but I tried that with this car and it did not work that way. Am I going to have to remove the whole exhaust and drop it from the bottom?
  19. I have a '94 VR6 corrado and it revs realy high in 5th like 5,000 rpm. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas whether it is the transmission or the gear box. I have alot of play in the stick so much so that it feels like I am in neutral through all gears. Please give me some ideas on how to figure this problem out.
  20. I cut out the wires connected to the radio wiring harness but the wiring was all messed up before I even got close to the car. Its a '94 vr6 corrado its a really nice car but the wiring is atroucious. I am trying to find a wiring diagram to see if I can make sense of it. Any help would be appreciated.
  21. Hey trevor. I am having problems wiring my radio. I removed the radio and the wiring behind it was a cluster **** so I cut all the wires that are connected to the wiring harness of the radio. I reinstalled everything and it seemed to work fine until I turned on the lights weird I know. I dont understand everytime I touch the lights the radio shuts off. The car also runs like **** now like some of the wires that I cut controled the fuel or something cause it seems to be running really rich and stalls out all the time now it never did that until I try to install the new stereo. Does anyone have and ideas or a wiring diagram of the 94 vr6 corrado or know a place online I can get a free diagram?
