-
thanks supercharged,swapped over blue and black temp sensors,it spluttered into life roughly,i let it idle for ten minutes then swapped the sensors back,still idled perfecrtly with alot of exhaust smoke,went for a quick drive but it stalled goin from 2nd to 3rd,i stamped on the throttle in 3rd,persume it flooded with too much fuel,does this sound right,hopefully bts will sort it out :D
-
latest non start update,ecu relay clicks in when ignition on and spark at plugs so ecu relay ok,inspected plugs which were damp after trying to start so fuel getting into cylinders,engine turns but wont start,crank bolt is ok(six sided bolt not 12 or star shaped head,cganged by previous owner),no oil in water or mayonnaise on oil cap,time to start pulling my hair out :mad2:
-
are these only available from main dealer or can i get one at my local motor factor(lots closer),thans for quick reply
-
yeah fuel is reaching the fuel rail and engine is turning over(starter ok),been looking through previous post,ecu relay mentioned alot,can i bridge this out to check if its the problem
-
more woe with my G60,just replaced coolant hoses,thermostat and fan switch,decided to go for a quick blast,let engine warm up,drove out my gate after about 20 seconds the engine cut out and refused to restart :?. I checked for spark at each plug(all fine) and checked to see if fuel is reaching the injector rail(it is),all electrical connections look ok/connected have tomoro off work so tryin again in the morning(too dark now),any ideas or suggestions would be great and speed things up tomoro,cheers :)

yeah i thought it would have been recalled,not able to get to the garage yet so not sure if the valve was fitted,important for corrado owners to check just in case and have health insurance,got da hospital bill last week 10,000 euro wit more to come(getting my health insurers back) :lol:
-
came out of hospital 2weeks ago after getting a skin graft on my left foot thanks to exploding heater matrix :( , vowed to never sit in my g60 again but i couldnt stay away,while on the mend ive ordered new low temp thermostat,fan switch,samco coolant and boost hoses header tank,battery cover,fmic and new vw heater matrix :D,dont think ill ever part with it now(until something else breaks :lol: ) AAHHH the highs and lows of corrado ownership
-
badly scalded my foot today in my g60 when heater matrix dumped boiling coolant onto my feet in heavy traffic read other posts about this problem but just wonderin what parts ill need,didnt take a look yet but presume ill need new matrix,pipes etc,will it happen again thou,was in heavy traffic and seen water temp guage hit 110,turned on heater to help cooling and nothing happened,move heater control to cold air and then the car turned into a sauna and my feet melted,any help would be great and new skin for my feet would help too
-
came across a spray can of "3-IN-ONE professional high performance lubricant,advanced PTFE formula",black&silver can, just wonderin is this the same as the ptfe lube g-werks sell for g60 chargers,im livin in ireland and can get this stuff locally would save me havin to order it from england if it does the same thing,im a real scrooge ha ha :)
-

-
