VR6 ABV crank position sensor question - now fuel pressure issue
Dox replied to fendervg's topic in Engine Bay
I've swapped the maf and on first impression there's no difference with the starting, I've left it on and will monitor over the next few days if the situation is better or worse - I've read that hotwire mafs do a heating / cleaning process after turning the engine off so as the used maf has been sitting on a shelf for a couple of years its likely to be contaminated to some degree or other. -
VR6 ABV crank position sensor question - now fuel pressure issue
Dox replied to fendervg's topic in Engine Bay
Scanned mine 00537 Lambda regulation 11-10 control limit not reached - intermittent 00513 engine speed sensor 03 - 00 no signal (discounted as the engine wasn't running at the time so even a good sensor will show this code. So looks like lambda or MAF as one is used to calculate the out of tolerance of the other. I have a used MAF in unknown condition so may try that for a comparison and check the wiring to the lambda -
20 Year old dampers will be knackered by now, I know my current OE ones are at 104K miles

VR6 ABV crank position sensor question - now fuel pressure issue
Dox replied to fendervg's topic in Engine Bay
I've recently started to have similar issues, I suspect the cam sensor, the crank does 2 rotations for every one of the cams, the ecu uses the cam sensor to know which cylinder is on TDC on its firing stroke to determine timing of the spark, if the cam sensor is duff the ecu calculates the same thing via the crank sensor but it needs extra cranking to work this out. Its just a guess though -
I have one provisionally sold to Dazfxvw, if he doesn't go ahead with the sale after he gets back off his hols I'll message you

Have a chat and ask them to go halves on cost and you'll do the work, that way you decide the position together?
-
My cams and manifold are ready, the exchange takes place tomorrow all being well. I'll post here be should any change in the situation.

£50? I've googled the part numbers and nothings come up for it

You could try hotgolf on cgti?

The crown wheel is part of the diff, it sits between the 2 output drive flanges. The drive flanges themselves if they are the single bolt in centre the centre type fetch £50 - £80 to people wanting to use mk4 gearboxes with 100mm MK2/3 corrado drive shafts
-
No Porsche calipers or g60 engine bits of any kind. I'll PM my number and whatsapp some pics if you use it?
-
The dealer will sell you a plug to fit the tank too
-
£40 the pair collected with the sheared bolt still in. Do you need anything else? I've got a fair bit of MK4 stuff as well as Corrado

Not very often tbh, David Autin rose centre (near Cosford) once maybe twice a year

I have one with a bolt sheared off for one of the wishbones, I started drilling it out then got fed up and chucked it behind the shed for another day

I know someone who whilst camping on a busy family site brushed his teeth with immac, he only realised when he started retching in front of a packed toilet block

There's only 4 cars for sale on autotrader - that's the lowest number I've ever seen. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/search/used/cars/volkswagen/corrado/postcode/cw56bt/radius/1500/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/quicksearch/true Forum members are really good at talking down the prices of their cars, its worked to my advantage twice. Nice car, nice colour and spec, you only need one buyer. N3Ps storm turbo is only £8250 in the classifieds here http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?91537-Storm-Stealth-Turbo
