yeah sorry about that, I found the thread seconds after I posted this, Im sure i searched before and couldnt find it. Anyway, thanks very much for the fast reply, I appreciate that :D

Sorry if this is a stoopid question but where abouts do I plug the VAG-COM cable into the car ? Thanks in Advance

Cool, thnx muppet, good luck !!

thnx muppet, Il give it a go tomo, good response :D

Thnx Mike, Is it the same part as in this thread ? http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3156

I recently replaced mine with a Galaxy one as mine split and the cars been idleing at about 500 and stalling alot. Any ideas ? Thnx in Advance

My door handles gone. How do I get the handle off safely to investigate ? Thnx in Advance

Maybe the stalling problem is a seperate issue :?

thnx mike il take a look. What does ISV stand for ?

Ok, the car has been left for 5 days now with the alarm disconnected and the fuse that runs the boot lamp, mirror lamps and central locking disconnected. and it has not gone flat. Looks like the boot lamp is now a strong suspect for the battery drain. Guess Il have to replace the ignition switch and see what happens. Without the fuse in, the car wont start, is this normal ??

Hi all, ive been reading alot of posts and to try and cure my stalling problem i want to clean my isv. problem is i dont know what or where it is, lol. help

Thnx for your help henny, Il take your advice

Thnks Kev Il do some tests tommorow, guess i need a voltmeter. Thats after i phone the bloke in the morning

unless its nothing to do with the screens and something else to do with that fuse because he said there was dramaticly less voltage being drained when he took that fuse out.

thnx jim

Thnx for reply kev, he said he tested the battery and its fine. Not sure about alternator, il phone him first thing tomorrow. Il have to look into the alarm, not sure wheres hes disconnected it as i wanted to put it back on to lock the boot as this is the only way i can. Il have to see what happens when my batterys charged as if the alarm is the problem it should run ok.

Hi Mark I have full closure alarm. I forgot to mention he said it might have something to do with the alarm aswell and hes disconnected it temporarily. Im on the isle of wight and i dont know who to trust with my car really. Are the dash mfa screens suppossed to go off when the ignition is off coz im sure i read somewhere that they wernt ?

Hi All, Im having electrical problems with my VR6 and I had to call in an auto electrician. The problems are 1) The battery goes flat after 2-3 days of car being sat. 2) The head unit turns itself off on its own alot 3) The amp turns itself off on its own alot. 4) The car will barely ide and cuts out alot when the revs drop. I called an auto electrician in to take a look and after about 2 hours he came to the conclusion that its all down to a large battery drain being caused by the dash MFA displays being constantly on even when the ignition is off. Are they suppossed to go off ? He says I should replace the ignition switch and it will be ok. Hes taken the fuse(21) out and tells me it will not drain until i get the new ignition switch fitted which is when i should put the fuse back in. I went to test the car when he left and the battery was flat, lol. so i havnt had a chance to see if its solved the problems. Does this sound like the ignition switch needs replacing or do you think hes full of shite ? Thnx in Advance, looking forward to having my C smoothly on the road again, too many things going wrong :(

Checked all the wiring that i can and it all looks ok. How can I check for shorts ? How can the coolant sensor be anything to do with it ? do you know where abouts it is ?? many thnx

Im pretty sure ive got an electrical fault on my vr6, the first thing is that sometimes the headunit and amp just decide to turn off and then come back on again when they like, could be a few seconds or half hour. second thing is the battery goes flat if a leave the car for three days. third thing is that the car stalls sometimes and idles very low at 400 alot of the time. Not sure if this is anything electrical. i recently replaced the idle stabalizer valve thing as it split in half. I reset the ecu and all seemed fine until a couple of days later. Help !! Thnx in Advance.

Problem solved(i hope) , I had to reset the ECU after I fitted the new valve/filter thing. It runs sweet now and instead of the revs dropping too fast and stalling when i approached a junction, they now drop smooth and dont fall below 500 which is what my car now idles smoothly on. Do you think 500 is too low ?

do you think its something to do with me running the car whilst the valve was split ? before i realized it was split

ok, i bought and fitted the valve and the car doesnt feel much different to when it was split and the car also wants to stall 50% of the times i pull up to a junction. HELP !!! any ideas anyone ?

Thnx very much Joe, il go to Ford tommorow. Thnx for saving me some cash :D

lol, thnx, guess i need photoshop
