Hi, Here is my 2.0l 16v 9A Corrado for sale. It is a '93 aqua blue pearl that I've owned for over 7 years. It has been an amazingly reliable car, especially for its age and mileage, 212,000. The only time it really gave trouble was when the lambda sensor failed. It is amazing how much of an effect they can have on the engine management. The car has just failed the MOT on emissions and i've decided it is time to either spend some money on the engine and paintwork or to let it go. The garage are encouraging me to keep it going as there is no rust at all underneath, just a bit around the rear window. All it needs is a cat to get through the MOT. The engine still pulls well though is a bit lumpy when cold and uses some oil and water. It has a Magnex cat back stainless steel exhaust, RS4/TT replica alloys and I put in a new windscreen this year. Anyway, as I've no drive or garage to start a project myself it has to go one way or another. MOT runs out on 02 December so can be driven away until then. If you are interested in a project let me know by Friday or it will be off to the breakers. I'll add pictures this evening. £750 ono Thanks, Robert

Hi Max Here are a few pictures of the car. Still unsure if I should put it through the MOT to keep one more Corrado on the road but give me a call on 07913 449204, if it looks like the car you need from the photos, and we can arrange viewing. Cheers, Robert

Hi Max, I have a 2.0l 16v 9a aqua blue corrado that has just failed its MOT on CO2 emissions. I'm trying to decide if I should scrap it, as the engine needs new gaskets, or put a new cat on it as the lads at the garage were really impressed how solid it was for the age. The chassis has no rust at all. I'm in Bristol so thought I'd check if you would be interested in a whole car to strip for parts. Let me know and I can send you a pic, Rob

Hi Chris, I'd like to take the switch off your hands. Can you pm me with details of where you want me to pay the money and I'll reply with my address. My switch broke this evening leaving me driving home with just hazard lights on, so if you can send it as soon as you can I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Robert

Hi, My car is doing the same thing. If left overnight it will drive for a few hundred metres and then it will lose all power. It will just about tick over but no power to drive. Were you able to figure out your problem or does anyone on here have any ideas what it might be. Cheers, Robert

Can I ask where did you get the silver corrado badge for the rear?

Have you noticed much of a change in your speedometer and odometer readings, and you mpg with the change from 195/50R15 to 205/40R17?

colinstubbs, I didn't get the bearings changed with the new discs. Wish I had now! My mechanic things my handbrake cable might be sticking due to water getting in through the liittle rubber boot which has split. I'm not convinced

"Basically car has been making a grinding/rubbing/scrapping noise from the rear wheel" "is very noticable at low speeds "can mainly hear it when in the car with windows shut" Hi, I've had all the above symptoms and the noise also goes away if I slightly touch the breaks or slightly pull the handbrake. I also had my rear brake discs and pads changed anbout 1000 miles ago. I was just wondering if you ever got a solution to this noise. Would also be grateful to anyone else who knows the answer. Thanks, Rob

Thanks for the help lads. If the engine is running on a 1.8 16v K-Jetronic injection instead of 9A's KE-Motronic, can I still use it in my 2.0L 16V 'rado or would I need to change other parts of the car to run it? Will I need to remap the engine? Overall, should I walk(run) away from this engine? Cheers, Rob

Thanks for your help lads. Do you know if it is likely that I will need to get the engine remapped or buy any parts as a result of puting this engine in? Will this engine be easy to use day to day, idling problems, fuel consumption etc? Rob

Hi, I have found this engine for sale but do not have much technical expertise, so I hoped some of you could help me. I have spoken to the seller and this engine is supposedly ready to bolt in and has a BHP of 185 but that was in a MkII Golf. but I have a few questions. Will I need to get the engine remapped or buy any parts as a result of puting this engine in? Will this engine be easy to use day to day, idling problems, fuel consumption etc? And will it be a case of maintaining it like a normal engine or would it require frequent checking and adjusting? Also, Is the £1000 pricetag as reasonable as he says? Thanks for any help you can give me. Rob 9a Bubble block 2.0 litre 185 bhp. Due to a change of plans (the race series I want to run in will not allow a 2.0 litre) I am selling the 9A engine from my mk2 Golf. The spec sheet is huge and the parts alone cost £1850.

The dyno figures show 184.5bhp at 6547rpm and 149.6lbft torque at 6309rpm. The power curve is completely linear, whilst the cams give a noticeable boost in torque from 4300rpm.
