My VR has had an intake air temp sensor fault since I've had it and last week I got a replacement from GSF. After fitting, the rad fans come on a few seconds after start up and stay on while it's running :scratch: Anyone know how or why this would bring the rad fans on? TIA

Fuel goes off after a while, if you've not had any fresh fuel put in for a while will be worth getting some.

Two Quick CV Joint and Track Rod End Questions please.......
peppyuk replied to kvwloon's topic in Drivetrain
The lateral moment within the drive shaft is on the inner CV joint, I've just replaced my boot after the ARB ripped it and I did use the plastic spacer, there was already one there so I just replced it with the new one. -

When replacing rod ends no matter how carefully you measure them up to the old ones. The only was your going to get it right is to have it set up by someone with the correct equipment. -
What did the car 'dump' ? oil, water, bits of metal ?
-
First off I would STOP driving the car until you have all 4 bolts holding the wheel on! VW put 4 on there for a good reason. Second I don't see why you would need a new hub and disk(unless you've done some damage to them), just replacing the broken stud with a new one shouldn't be difficult.

Got the front suspension set up this morning, and changing the arms has bought the caster back into spec :D , not to mention I can now steer the car rather than guide it! 8)

Replaced my front arms/bushes this afternoon, good afternoons work and I think I can say it needed doing!!

Just what I wanted to hear, thanks dude.

I got some calipers for 288mm disks the other week and have been looking at disks, which ones do I need? I assumed at first all 288mm VW disks would just be the same but it would appear there are differences, I guess to depth. The calipers I have are from a late golf VR6, are there differences to the calipers or is the difference due to the hub/bearing?
-
Are all corrado front wishbones the same or is there year/model differences?
-
It would appear they don't do these in a 205/50 15 yet.
-
It's pluged in OK then, I'll assume it's toast. What do I need to order?
-
I get an error code on VAG-COM saying my Inlet manifold temp sensor is faulty (open or short circuit). Would this be the little item with a 2 pin plug tucked in behind the fuel pressure reg ?

The new mini me is taking shape, all thats left is finding a decent match grey. The old mini me.

"No idea why someone did this or even when......." I'd guess so they could lock it up and leave the roof open?
-
Do the doors unlock when you switch off ? Some alarms can be set to lock the doors while your driving.

Will early Mk3 golf gti 16v seats fit in my VR6?
peppyuk replied to Son of a Beesting's topic in Interior
As the rear golf seat is a 3 seater and the corrado rear seat is only a 2 seater I would have guessed it wouldn't fit. -
If you have fuel, spark and compression she should run.. did you check the spark on all 4 plugs?
-
AFAIK 'Curreny track' will be a reference to the wiring diagram.
-
What made you try turning the camshaft (I assume by hand) when it stopped running? The only thing you haven't mentioned checking is the injectors, you say the pump is running but is that fuel getting to the chamber at the right time? Also you say you checked the timing, spark timing or cam shaft timing?
-
My book shows the headlight level dial there.
-
Thats not too bad, don't suppose you have a part number?

I had a look in halfords over the weekend but they don't keep the corrado mirror in stock and couldn't tell me if it would be magnified or not without ordering one(they only did one type), which I would have to pay for!
