Air lock :nuts: Had a play with it today, squeezed a few things and left it running with the cap off and tis all better now. Panic over! Ed

I dont think so, one of the pipes comes from the top of the engine into the matrix (which is hot) & the other goes to the bottom of the engine (which is cold). Could i do damage if i run the car like this?

I wouldn't know i'm afraid. where would i find it?

excuse my ignorance, what valve?

I changed my heater matrix last week and today i actually got round to flushing the coolant and connecting the hoses back to the matrix but no hot air :cuckoo: I drained the original coolant and after i had flushed it I poured coolant through a funnel into the matrix pipe untill it was running out the other pipe, then connected the hoses back up and ran the engine till it was hot. I had no hot air in the car and when i felt the pipes coming out of the matrix, one was hot and the other was stone cold. What have i done now, i usually fcuk something up when i do a job!

My windscreen has a drip coming through the sealant at the top and also gives off a whistle when traveling along, what is the best way of sorting this? If i call out autoglass or similar will they remove the screen and refit it properly or is there another way? all help appreciated :D

Did the job today, found it really simple to do. I started to do it without the taking the dash out but after a short while of sratching my head thinking how the hell is that going to come out i decided to take it out. A lot easier than i thought, i suppose most of it was in my head when you start thinking of taking out the dash, i didnt realise i would be as simple as taking out 6 bolts and pull the bugger off! All in all it took by about a day with plenty of fag & tea stops :grin: if anybody stumbles on this thread when searching i would strongly recommend these links as 'how to' guides.... http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewto ... ATOR+STALK cheers :clap:

Thanks for the replys chaps, I think I will have a go at it with the dash in, If i struggle i will take it out. I might give it a go this week. i will let you know how it goes!

Right folks, I am about to replace my matrix and like many other people on here I keep hearing rumours that it can be done without taking out the dash, could people that have done the job confirm or deny if this is possible please, personally im dreading taking out the dash and would obviously like to do it the quickest and easiest way. Also, does any one have any tips on drying out the sound proofing? I stripped out all the carpets a few weeks ago to dry but no matter how long i leave the sound proofing/insulation stuff in the sun it is still soaking wet! I presumed it was the coolant chemicals or something, i dont really want to put it back in til its dry. any ideas? opinions appreciated chaps, Dash in or Dash out?

My car is still fine but it was like yours, just waiting for it to start going wrong again!

I didn't change the sensor, it has just fixed itself after a good thrash! I dare say it will go wrong again soon though, when it does I will get a scan, local Veedub specialist will do it for £30

this is wierd :cuckoo: I was going to take it to a local VW specialist this week for a scan but today i went on a long motorway drive (without breaking any speed limits, honest officer :norty: ) and the car has sorted itself out! could that mean that a had a stuck valve or something?

I cant see the wood from the trees with where this is supposed to go, If anyone can help please do. The photos are what i can see and the part VW supplied me with.

can any one help? I have found this thread but i am struggleing to find the sensor.... http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewto ... e+plastics I have taken off the coilpack and undone 2 hex bolts. once removed that lets me see into the engine but i can not see where the sensor should be? any clues?

just done all the ECU reset malarkey to the letter (apart from the VAG-COM bit cos I dont have it.) with no joy, still waiting for the stealers to ring me back so i can order the bit. I will ask them when they eventually call me back but does anyone on here know what VW charge to plug it in to their diagnostic computers?
