  1. Hello. Im sorry if this has already been covered but i am unable to find a definitive answer anywhere! Ive been having problems with my idle recently and with the current price of petrol i wouldnt mind getting it sorted. Does anybody have any ideas what could be causing the problem? Here are 2 videos - the first video is with the idle control valve plugged in..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AktHpsU5Qq0 The second video is this evening on the way home from work without the idle control valve plugged in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTiCiJwZ5g0 Other than the idle control valve what could be causing the idle to be like this? The car has recently been tuned up by the garage but this didnt start happening until 2 weeks after. Thanks in advance

    Coolent Hose

    thanks... ive just been looking at their site and im guessing the Golf mk2 16v GTI hose kit is the 1 im after, or is there a differance between the 2 engine bays?
  5. Hello I was just wondering if any body could help me find where i can get a new hose from. I need the hose that comes out the side of the head on my 16v then goes up towards the heater matrix. I went to the stealers today and it has been discontinued!! Mine burst yesterday on the way to work, the AA guy did a 'tempory' fix on it with some special tape but i just dont trust it! Any advice would be appeciated thanks!

    lupo wipers

    is this what your after? http://fastpurple.com/wiki/lupo_wipers.html
  7. ive added myself but im supprised at how few corrado's are in my area on the map. i know of a few i see when im driving about Is there a flyer or some thing on here i could leave on their windscreen to let them know about this forum?
  8. good thinking! lol, I'lll amend the list for ya :wink: Thanking you!
  9. can i possibly change my order to 8? No doubt i will buy another corrado with the same fault in the future!
  10. Mine is the same, i struggle to get 200 miles out of a full tank!! incredibly poor for a 2 litre! I may as well of kept my VR6!
  11. Ill take a passenger side repair kit if you have any. Thanks!
  12. sweeeet! was yours blowing the fuses too?
  13. update on this.... Ive still got the fault with the windows only working when the drivers door is open however if the passenger door is open the windows will not work. I have also recently noticed the reverse lights do not work so i checked the fuse and it had blown. replaced it, the reverse lights work fine and now the windows work perfectly until the fuse blew again! All seems a bit strange to me! Can any body shed some light on this?? Thanks
  14. how do you mean bridging the switch?
  15. Right... just been out to the car. I tried pressing the door pin when the door was open with my finger on the window switch. As soon as the pin is pressed the window stops moving What does this mean?
  16. Ive got a strange problem with my electric windows on my 1.8 corrado. Ive tried a few searches but couldnt find any thing relivant. The problem is the windows will not wind down. i thought a fuse might of gone but i pressed the window button accidently when the door was open and they both work fine. Is there a fauly relay or some thing to allow the windows to only be opened when the door is open? i also noticed the reverse lights had stopped working around the same time the windows stopped working. Any advice would be good as driving down the road with the drivers door open to shut the windows isnt too safe!! Thanks

    ABF Conversion

    So... today i took the Corrado to the MOT station as the last MOT expired before xmas. I was dreading it as i just knew they were going to fail it on some thing because id done the conversion on it. It did fail but only on suspension bushes and steering rack gaiter. not bad news at all!! Im quite impressd that a moron like me can change an engine in a weekend with no experiance at all!
