You can ruin a sealed type wheel bearing by undoing the CV nut and allowing the cars weight on its wheels. If you've ever pressed one out you'll know it takes very little pressure to reduce the bearing to the sum of its parts

Not sure if the mods can find your details? http://the-corrado.net/member.php?2050-Tomson

Have a good look at the thin wire to the starter solenoid, mine broke off my MK4 Golf recently, the wire looked attached but it was only the weatherproof seal holding the wire into its socket and it fell to the floor on removal

Wings are good sellers if not rotten? Interested if they're silver?

Petebs car http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?86795-My-1-8t-now-with-recaros-and-bbs-rs My claim to fame is that I supplied the door cards for the car (not sure if he used them TBH)

Does the pump not prime when starting from hot? Why the need for a check valve then?

Where did you buy the starter?

Its a 4 stroke engine, so 2 complete rotations of the crank is just one rotation of the cam, the cam sensor is more accurate for timing than crank sensor (longer cranking if the cam sensor is faulty), does OBD2 use the same cam pick up on the cam as OBD1? The cam sensors are different OBD1 / OBD2?
-
Its common for the bulb to blow on the dash light, start the car with your foot on the brake pedal, can you feel it pulse as it does its pre start checks?
-
How fast does the engine crank on the starter when hot, have you tried a cam sensor? Other thoughts could be MAF or lambda, if the MAF is under reading air ingested it will under fuel too? If lambda senses over fuelling it will cut down fuel injected too? Do you own a strobe light? Its easy to see a spark and quick to connect even when suited and booted

Its a tenner per year, usually you can save more than that on insurance if you're a member of a club, I rejoined a few years ago but my membership has lapsed again now

WOW! What a good place for a Corrado Forum meet? Any chance of repro Corrado panels as a side line?

I used to store my transformer inside the drum, so that would have fitted too -
If it's collection you'll need to state your location?

Passenger side wing needing repair to the bottom where it meets the sill see pics Easy repair if your own lower part of the wing is good and easier to hide with body shutz when repaired than repair to the arch line. Price as per forum rules is £100 collected to stop speculators / resellers / one post wonders, happy to take offers from forum regulars, not bothered in the slightest if it doesn't sell Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a car of its time, a piece of history not modernised which makes it special. I think you bought that knob and gaiter off me? I've had Sloans plate surrounds for over 20 years Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Coolant temp sensor would be where I'd start, you can view its operation with VCDS. Resistance increases with temperature so any sensor will have a harder time doing its job when hot. Coils in general often give trouble when hot. Checking for spark and fuel being injected when a non start occurs will help pinpoint what the issue is

I have a passenger side in grey, good around the arch, rotten lower piece where it meets the sill

There's no voids I the R32 bushes so theres less deflection making geometry remains more stable
