    Crank bolt - a decent windy or battery gun should get it off. Or fit the flywheel, place a bolt in one of the engine to gearbox bolt holes then hold with a pry bar or biggest screwdriver in the ring gear whilst an assistant heaves on the crank bolt

    These cars tend to smoke when left standing for long periods of time, it may just need a good run

    Using a jump lead to earth a spark plug to the block makes viewing the spark easy

    Just melt the solder, job done

    Its a safety device to prevent the pedal going to the floor during heavy braking from high speed - ABS works by releasing pressure (fluid) from the corner that is locked returning tiny amounts of fluid back to the reservoir. It will be a variable resistance dependant upon how low the pedal is.

    Bentley manual 24-470 gives data for injector testing, but doesn't give trigger voltage at the injectors

    Its rare that any ECU feeds circuits with 12V, when cranking an engine from cold so much of the battery's power is consumed turning the rotating parts creating compression at the same time that voltage available for other circuits drops well below the 12v you have at rest. So manufacturers build in a safety net to allow the circuits it rellies on to achieve a voltage the circuit can operate with, typically below 9V regulated. So 5V at the injectors maybe the factory setting?

    The trick is to open up the sensor and reflow the dry soldered joints and glue it back together again

    The boot would need a pinhole otherwise it would blow up like a balloon and maybe pop off / rip?

    Strange spoiler behaviour

    Yes, My Audi 80 cab was a right mess, I repaired it with trailer wire, my current winter hack MK4 Golf is in a similar state, but I've got a spare loom to repair that

    Check for broken wires between the shell and the tailgate

    With any auction you need at least 2 enthusiastic bidders for a show. At£20k plus I doubt any traders will be interested as the risk of it being a land yacht is high.

    Upgraded light loom

    Dox replied to Keyo's topic in Exterior

    A relay is just a switch. One wire will be a body / battery earth for the low current side of the relay. One wire will be from the light switch, again to the low current side of the relay. Fused power in, high current when bulbs are powered. Power out to the bulbs. The relay is there to reduce current to the delicate contacts inside the switch extending its working life.

    Will the car start with a push or tow? Assuming its not a auto? If it does then its the starter, wiring or ignition switch

    I seem to remember someone in the past had a cam chain sprocket without the sensor pick up fitted?

    Its hard enough to sell these cars for £4K, the £40K to me is to get people talking and spreading the word until someone picks up a "Bargain" for much less. I only bought my Corrados because they were cheap, so maybe my comments aren't worth a fig anyway?

    I doubt it, they put a dent in the chassis leg for clearance on the VR? MK2 retro fit needs to have its chassis leg dented for clearance too? 2 extra cylinders would need the leg cutting out? The extra weight wont help handling either

    http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?29449-Re-Corrado-storm-vr6 Pretty sure its this car, Jon still posts here so he can confirm it if he sees this post? The lad who bought the car from Jon wanted the private plate E 57ORM I think, the car went to a lad in Leeds then looks to have been sold on again

    Center hub question?

    Dox replied to ABV-VR6's topic in Exterior

    I have 2 sets of Subaru wheels, 16" OZ crono off an Imprezza that wont fit on the VW hub and a set of 16" make unknown (they look similar to OZ mito) off a Forrester which have a centre bore larger than the C so spigots rings will be needed.
