Sold!!

Let me know if you would like any close ups of anything.

Sure, They have all the bits too. i.e. the four rubber feet. Have attached a pic, bit hazy as light is bad at moment, but it shows all the bits.

Pretty much as new roof bars and windsurfer holder for a Corrado. £50 I'm only back in the UK for the next week so let me know asap if you'd like them. In Sandy, Bedfordshire

Hi Larkin, Apparently you need a pressure bleeder to do that one. It doesn't seem to want to bleed under gravity. I'll have to take it to the garage Good luck Andy

Hi Larkin, The Ribbon cable is tricky to test without knowing the pin layout and the connector is covered in a rubbery stuff so you have to dig it out to see! I'm in South Africa at the moment so don't have access to my wiring diagram I made. If you can wait a couple of weeks I should be able to send you a copy and them you could test it. My fault was also intermittent for a while. when the vehicle was cold it would show and then when it was warm it would go away if I restarted her. in the end I bypassed the ribbon cable completely with normal wires. I did not find anywhere that could give me another ribbon cable. The repair worked initially an then the light came on again but I think this was due to not bleeding the top circuit. I came over to SA before I got chance to do that but will do it on my return! ;-) I also have pic of the repair process that I will put together over christmas for you if it would be useful. All the best Andy

So it turns out that ecu-testing CAN'T fix the 1995 Corrado VR6 ABS. So..... I took the unit off and carefully worked out where all the connections for the ribbon cable should go. Cut the offending ribbon cable off and rewired all the wires to the plug. A delicate and tricky job but it worked!! If anyone would like pics and a description drop me a line! In hindsight it is probably not necessary to cut off all the wires but to just bypass a couple. Bloody tricky to find the cracks in the cable though. Andy

Hi Timbo, **** IGNORE BELOW THEY CAN'T HELP ***** I've found a place that will sort out the ecu and provide a 2 year guarantee. I'm going to remove mine and send it to them. They take 2-3 days to turn it around and only charge £100 + postage and packing. They say that 99% of them are ecu problems, well probably the ribbon cable, hence the price! Check out http://www.ecutesting.com they are based in Nottingham. V.friendly and seem to know what they are doing. Hope this helps Good luck Andy

I'm not sure if this is related but I had a problem with mine where the abs light came on when you turned the car on and wouldn't go off.....unless..... the car had warmed up and you flicked the ignition off then on again. It then flashed slightly and went out. As long as the car was warm the light would go out as it should do. After a few weeks though it wouldn't go off even with this trick. So.....I had the pump hooked up to the VAG machine and it was giving something like defective valve..I can't remember the exact code. The pump was removed and went off to an auto electrician who found that there is a ribbon cable that had broken a couple of tracks. He bypassed the tracks and all was good for about 3 years. Now I have the same problem again. So it's probably just the ribbon cable in the abs unit again!!. No idea if you can get a cable but it's time to go researching again. I hope this helps Andy 95 VR6

Hi All, For what it's worth a couple of years ago I had a similar problem with the faults showing up on the ABS. To cut a long story short it turns out to be a ribbon cable fault within the ABS unit. I had the unit removed and an auto-electrician bypassed the ribbon cable. Hey presto... no faults. Andy
