Rod 1

any ideas why my fans will only blow cold air? just had a new engine and my temp guage dont work either. are these two related? please help its colder inside that out in the rain lol :(

in the next couple of months im having my engine re-built and i've decided this would be the perfect basis engine to tune. i'm looking at having it super charged and i was just wondering what would be involved and what would be required to do the conversion. i have a 1.8 16v motor. any suggestions would be very appreciated. :)

i just clocked this and thought you guy's would like to see... i dont like the styling but the engines made me sex-wee a little bit :lol: http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgur ... %26hl%3Den

i hate to be the one to say this but... if the car had been stolen professionally and to order then she's more than likely long gone now. i hope to god im wrong and you get her back though, i couldn't imagine mine being stolen and i've only had her a month or two. so i feel for you. (stay positive)

just a quicky, what do you guys think i should go for on my 1.8 16v? Super or turbo charger?

noooo, spoke too soon on the radiator fan front, she's still not turning off. but i did notice that the tempreture on the dash wasn't dropping either even though the engine felt cool. could this be a faulty sensor? secondly another problem has arose. everytime (after the cars warmed up) the rev's drop below around 2'500rpm my oil light comes on a buzzes away at me. im thinkin there is an oil leak anywhere, could this also be a reason why my car is smoking?.. burning oil maybe? any help would be very appreciated i'm finding i cant enjoy my car as much as i should :(

your a good man. fan problem sorted, thanx.... any ideas on the rest of the issues :lol:

i'll just go and check...

well i've got into the habit of unplugging it after 5 mins or so because last time i left it i went to start the car but the battery was totally flat. had to jump it off my old mk2 :lol:

hello all. bought my corrado a few months ago as a project. always wanted one since i saw our window cleaner's at the age of 4 and i finally have one :D it's only the 1.8 16v but i love her to bits. should be a vr6 soon though :) anyway. like i said i bought it as a project and with project cars come troubles here are just a few i need help with; Electric windows: my electric windows packed up. turns out it was just the switches cuz the wiring and motors are fine. i rang the local vw garage to get some replacements but the ones they supplied were not the same. visually they are identical but rather than just plugging in, the ones in mine need the wires soldering to them. to top it all off there is no part number on them. any idea where i can get some replacements Front end damage; The previous owner decided to drive a piece of classic german quality into something and thus damaged my front bumper, slam pannel, bonnet and cross member any ideas where i can get replacements? the breakers round here very rarely get corrado's in (i can understand why :lol: ) Engine; I've been told by my local breakers that my engine is sound but im only 80% convinced. on start up it sometimes smokes and the tappets seem a little loud. any ideas what could be causing this? Fan; Finally when my engine heats up my fan kicks in as normal but when i come to a stop and turn the engine off etc it doesn't turn off again at all (well at least until the battery dies that is :lol: )... sorry to make my introduction a bit of an inquizition but i could really do with a bit of help. half the people round here dont know what a corrado is let alone can offer advice on one :lol:
