If you suspect a misfire, with the engine running disconnect and reconnect each plug lead in turn, make a note any removed where the engine note doesn't change as theres a problem with that cylinder. I'd do it at the coil using insulated pliers
-
You'll get a crank sensor code on these engines if its not running at the time of the scan.
-
I've no idea, I don't work for them I just get emails with the codes weekly If you register your email with them they'll send the codes directly to you.

Doors, bonnets and boots are plentiful and cheap, there's little point repairing them especially if you can find one in the correct colour. I've personally driven 1000s of miles for parts for my projects. There's a few breakers that will cut sections of shells to repair cars where off the shelf panels are unobtainable.

You need the correct part number to match yours, so remove yours first. Put a wanted advert up here, many of us have known good spares rather than hit and miss eBay stuff and it all helps to keep this community going

Well the other end is the ECU, its known for the windscreen seal to fail and water gets inside causing corrosion. Its located by the passengers left ankle behind a plastic panel, check the connector pins for corrosion, if OK open it up and check the PCB for corrosion also. You'll only need a screwdriver to check this, but its recommended to remove the earth connection from the battery first.

No, you will need to dismantle the brakes and remove the disk to inspect the sensor / reluctor.
-
It sounds like the air gap between one of the sensors and its reluctor ring is varying triggering the ABS into thinking a wheel is locked (each sensor counts the segments of the reluctor and the ecu compares them to determine if a wheel is locked). I'd check the condition of the reluctor baskets on the back of the rear disks first

Just get it running and driving and take it from there, plenty people want a rolling project rather than a full resto rebuild

Do you see the car as a long term purchase or short term hobby before moving on to something else?

http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?50041-Somersetdub-s-Aqua-Blue-VR6/page9 I have a similar set up from an A3 on the shelf, no wiring though, £40 posted

There’s different part numbers depending on the wiring plug configuration, you need to quote the the last two letters of the part number for an exact match.

I’ve just tried to view the VR6OC forum, is it down or gone for good?
