radness

Guys, i'm frustrated with the search function on this site so i'm resorting to asking :) Where is the fuse box location on a 93 corrado? Also, my horn has stopped working all of a sudden :( any ideas waht it could be? i thought it might be a fuse.

Thanks for the part number, so is it ok being dry in there?

Hey guys, While looking under the hood today i saw this: It appears to have a cap missing, i'm no expert but i assume that this is my flywheel exposed? is this bad ? It also looks like it isn't oiled, should it be? Hope you guys can help :)

Guys, I'm a bit of a newbie but; I know there are inner and outer CV joints, I'm just curious about why they go so much. They obviously clunk a lot when they're on their way out, only when you have lock on, so I'm assuming that while on any sort of lock that they're at their most stressed point. For those that have had CV joints go, how is your driving style? Do you pull out of corners (with lock on) and apply a lot torque/power? Do you wheel spin with lock applied? I remember having a CV joint go on a Mazda, i had full lock and pulled out of a corner very quick and BANG it went, tbh, i was a bit of a moron and did small wheel spins while pulling out of corners, i loved the sound of the squeech when i dropped it into 2nd gear, it's the only time i felt safe doing a wheel spin in that car (obviously you have less traction when turning+accelerating - all to do with that famous traction circle!!) to wheel spin on a straight line my engine would've almost jumped out of it's mounts due to the tires having too much grip. Now, I'm really anti wheel spin, tires are too good to do this with and when you do it , it stresses a whole lot more than just the rubber on the end of your tires and your clutch.

Thanks Jim :) Nope - it doesn't. So be mindful of letting it get too low! Ah, thats a pity, i always run my cars on £10 but now i will need to be a bit more careful :? Most times i start the car it sits at 800-900 but the odd time ill start and it'll be 1500 and stay that way for about 3-4 minutes then drop down instantly to 900 and stays that way. I'll give this a go and see if it improves anything. Provided the ABS light illuminates when you start the car and then extinguishes about a second and a half later, it should be fine. The ABS system is fairly primitive - wait till you drive it on snow / ice - it goes beserk![/quote:3slpq25h] Yeah this is when ABS becomes more of a danger than a safety aid, your car will take about 150%-200% longer to stop in the snow if it has ABS i think i read somewhere. It's a shame we don't/or any car, have a button that disables ABS for a journey. Yeah my thoughts as well, i don't like hitting the standard rev limit as it is, never mind going PAST it. Our cars are not honda civic type-r(although personally i think are better) and i assume they wouldn't like rev'ing as high! I'll give this inlet cam a try are they a big job to fit? how many hours you'd recon? I did a bit of research after you mentioned it and I see they can knock off some low down torque-is this right?, if you have experience of this mod how has it changed the characteristics of the engine? does it add to the 4000+ rpm range and take away from the sub 4000rpm range? Is this inlet cam the 50mm? By standard ours is 42mm?

Hi guys I have a 94 Corrado, 9a engine. Basically im a new corrado owner (very happy!) but i have a couple of questions, im sorry i have so many, i have spent the last week searching this forum and others but haven't had any concrete answers to my questions. 1. Does the corrado have a fuel light? I seem to hit the bottom of the red marker but i have yet to see a light come on yet.In regards to fuel should i try running 97oct or would this not be any noticeable difference? 2. Sometimes my car idles at 1500 sometimes when starting, it doesn't hop around a lot or go crazy , i read the thread about the 9a in the passat - with the idling and coughing issues, but mine seems different as it goes to 1500rpm straight on and i basically don't need to use the accelerator to hit 30mph in 2nd gear! It does eventually disappear. On the question regarding idling, my regular idle is around 800-900 is this normal? 3. Sometimes when im going slow (after a long drive) the oil temp is around 110c, is this too high? When accelerating hard and driving 50mph+ it stays around 100c). 4. My steering seems very heavy, so heavy i think my power steering might not be working, is this a normal fault ? if the power steering pump is dead could it explain my high idle? (the engine stressing because it is having trouble turning the power steering). I'm not sure if the power steering isn't working at all, i have 205's 17" so i kind of expect them to be a bit hard to turn. 5. A what millage does the timing belt need done? 6. I believe the ABS in my car works but i hear a bit of a skid(lasts 0.5-1 seconds when braking hard from 90mph), is this normal or just due to a less efficient ABS as it's an old car? Brakes feel good either way :shock: 7. I have a milltek exhaust , someone told me it's a easy flow or powerflow cat, sometimes when im reving high (4-5) then drop into second and ease off I get a bit of a back fire, is this normal? it does sound like it's coming from the rear as opposed the engine bay itself. Anyone know what soft of BHP this exhaust gives? 8. Is it worth getting a chip for the 9a? There was one on ebay that stats that it increases rpm limit to 7500, what is the standard limit on this engine? and would this be recommended increasing to 7500? is it the only way to get extra power or does it improve the power down the band before the standard limit? thanks a lot guys!

Lol, the bass makes the rattles worse :D Anyone know how to pull out these vents?

Well so it sounds! I have a bad squeaky sound coming from my front console while driving, i eventually located it to the air vents, when i put my hand over them or press against they stop squeaky, unfortunately i don't have 4 hands to do this while driving, the other rattles in the car don't really bother me but this squeak does :( Anyone had this before or was able to resolve it? I thought about WD40 but was a little concerned because it's an air vent i don't want a lovely smell of WD40 throughout my cabin. Please help :)
