Cheers for the quick reply,it's appreciated,got a fair idea,I know my mate didn't change the filter at the last service cos he thought the nuts looked too corroded,so there may be problems ahead :cry:

Hi folks,got a bit of a problem with the Mrs's Rado,it's a 93 model. Driving it today,I noticed that the fuel pump was noisier than usual,making the noise that usually signals low fuel,constantly.The car was driving fine,but after a few miles it started to "kangaroo",never actually stalled,but kept almost cutting out on the journey back to my house.A mate reckoned the fuel filter was blocked,any-one got any suggestions what the problem could be,Thanks in advance. :)

Today, I finally, after 3 months of ownership,used the Corrado the way it was meant to be used, I had to make a 55 mile journey to my cousins in Castle Douglas,South West Scotland,the road I used is a mixture of A and B roads,and is very twisty. It was wet and windy and I absolutely kicked the Rado's arse the whole journey,it went and handled the way, I remembered a Corrado should. I made the first leg of the journey in 57 minutes,but got it down to 50 minutes on the way back,probably because a dude in a big Merc fancied his chances,but he soon put the white flag up. All in all,that's the most fun I've had in a car, for a long time,and I 'd have taken on anyone on that road today :mrgreen: even told the Mrs,and it's her car :hitler: :lol:

Aye,I used to make it my usual Sunday run,Nardinis etc,it's a great part of Ayrshire,especially with the 3 toons bypass now. Had a bad experience once though in my own car,I'd just taken it out after the Winter,and I headed for Largs,no realising that the front calipers were sticking,just coming up the hill at the golf course,my brakes totally failed,I'd boiled the brake fluid,managed to free wheel across the road and into the golf club car park,to a standstill. It Shitting I was!!! :bad-words: -

Cheers :thumb right: She's letting me drive it at the moment,but I think that might be to do with the heater blower no' working,and the fact that it's been baltic for the last fortnight. Thing is I bought her a nice winter coat for christmas,knowing the Rado was about to go on the road :mrgreen: -

Been lurking for a few months now, :) the forum has been invaluable already,in fact it's nearly as good as CelticMinded.com 8) this is my good lady's Corrado,she's had a few VW's before,namely a 1.8 Corrado and a MK3 Golf VR6,but after driving a Focus :shock: for the last year,i've finally got round to getting her another Corrado(well I'm never going to get her MK1 Campaign back on the road,but dont tell her that :( ) It's a 1993 16 valve,and I picked it up really cheap and am going to do a wee rolling resto on it,got the brakes done and it's running great after a full service and new lambda sensor,looking for a standard exhaust and maybe some better wheels. So I hope you dont mind if I pick your brains about certain things,and I'm going to make a concerted effort to post regularly on here 8) Cheers folks,and Hail Hail.
