  1. Use super that only has 5% ethanol, more power and better economy with a mix that was suitable yesterday and more suitable ongoing. If your car starts stuttering on low fuel levels on tight corners suspect the fuel pump mounts on early VR6s with the caramel coloured (non white) swirl pots - Pierberg pumps?

    If you press the window buttons can you hear the relays click? The door looms earth each side as they enter the car shell, remove the kick panels and check for connection issues

    The fuse box has a locking mechanism to stop the plugs on the rear from popping off. Make sure its locked in place - if its not check for loose plugs on the rear of the fusebox

    If it has auto closure alarm check the fuses for the alarm system
  5. For how long? The last car vw fitted with a cable throttle must be nearly 20 years old? I had a golf vr6 in 1999, 3 years old and 46k, the revs used to hang (fall too slowly between gear changes) on that one, took it to AmD in Oxford who ran a diagnostic and declared the tb may be faulty. I also had an Octavia 1.8t DBW that did similar (BAM engined tt is slightly better, but still hangs a little). I’d prefer the odd stall to laboured gear changes or faster changes that make you look like a novice driver. I quite like the crudeness of OBD1 and cable throttles over DBW, maybe I’m just odd?

  8. Isn’t the idle valve built into the throttlebody on obd2?
  9. petrol engine stoichiometric ratio Have a google around with the above, the ratio / reading will alter dependant on load, cruising with light throttle will give around 14:1 (14 parts air to 1 part fuel), where as aggressively climbing a steep hill will need a much higher fuel ratio.
  10. Most who’ve used them recommend the Aldi ones. Have you thought about a solar charger?
  11. If there's only one wire from the steering wheel the the buttons earth on the wheel itself? Use a multimeter on continuity / ohms scale, touch one lead on the metal of the steering wheel, the other on its wire = nothing? Now press a button - you should get a beep or a reading on the ohms scale?
  12. I don't unerstand the question tbh. The horn is usually fed with 12v and the button on the wheel earths on the column - I've had no need to investigate the set up on the Corrado so far.

  21. There were some mad prices at that auction for sure
  22. The tester I use would have let me under the car and showed the actual fault, if I'd gone off elsewhere he's have used yellow crayon to highlight any issues. If you've used 3 bolts with individual nuts are the nuts nyloc? Tried the other side?
