unfortunatly not m8, been like this since i got the car :(

hard to say m8, might be slightly off, hang on, one side appears to beat the other to the top position.

Hi, Firstly I have searched the forums and can't seem to find any infos and I have tried the 'cleaning brushes' technique to no avail. Symptoms When spolier goes down it gets stuck about half way down, the motor gradually coming to a halt it would seem. It does it a) automatically (eventaully blows the fuse) b)when i operate it with the switch on dashboard c)when i use the twisty thing to manually raise or lower spoiler What to do? I pulled the twisty thing out and can run the spoiler motor back and forth via the switch on dash no probs. Spolier Motor is OK? Tried the 'cleaning brushes' and also tried some lube into spolier strut area from external spoiler mounting point. I hope that all my information is clear. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

ta for tips m8! :) i'll let yas know how i get on. gota read up on the temp sensor issues tho i think they relate to idling problems? Any ideas about this "sticky" rev needle? (seems to sort itsself out after driving mile or 2) vw tampering at service? possible related to timing belt change? clutching at straws here :) thanks all

checked dizzy cap negigble corrosion? k no clue about rotor arm (am total newbie to car stuff :/)

thanks for reply. most of what u said has gon over my head. what have i got? dont know what u mean m8, and thats why i ask here for help :) ok why am i looking at temp sensor? i found it. if what runs ok??? the wire leading to blue connector have black tape wrapped around them indicating? Thanks, Carl.

Thanks for reply. I shall get the new plugs u recommend as soon as i can get the leads off and and check whats on there allready. Mechanic said "the plug leads are too tight on plugs" and didnt want to damage the leads. shoudl i use brute force to get these suckaz off or what?

Howdy ppl. I like my Corrado. Had it few weeks now. But it seems to like my wallet more than me hehe. Took it to vw for service(annual) and cambelt change and got it back with some notes, cv boot split (now fixed). oil leak from charger oil pipe? should have noticed this one :( plug leads(splitfire twin) too tight, couldnt check plugs. New problems after service ?! Car now stalls on cold start (never happened b4) Rev-o-meter readings are wierd. needle movement isnt smooth and seems to stick. wtf? any ideas i got to run! speak later! thanks guys!
