id be interested in one aswell, any more info on it yet?

saw a grey h reg 16v in stratford upon avon tesco car park last night, i see it there a lot, think you work there?

thought id put a update on the car, she went to stealth last week to see if they could sort the problem as id gave up on it, it turns out that the plug for the coolent temp sensor and the one for the fan sensor next to it had been pluged in the wrong way round by the rubbish people that did the warranty work, so such a simple thing that caused all my problems. im so happy to finaly have her up and running again :clap:

green j reg g60 in tesco car park evesham about 07.30 this morning, anyone?

that looks gorgeous goldie. my plastic cover is broke so im looking to change it, the leather looks so much better.

could do with a scented on too lol, since my matrix went and filled the footwell and dash with nasty water it stinks when ive got the heater on, i now carry a bottle of frebreze and spray it in the blowers when i turn them on, it seems to be working well at getting rid of the stench :clap: :D

Thanks Nick, im hopeing to have a good look at the car tomorow so shall put this on the list of thigs to do, she is running rich and the stalling is when shes both hot and cold, and im sure she will fail MOT on emissions, so want to get it sorted before then, i have a feeling the problem is with the wiring somewere as it is a mess, just hope it doesnt rain tomorow now lol

gutted for you mate, atleast its not huge amounts of damage and you seem to be getting it sorted quick, but still rubbish all the same.

realy like lostphrophets latest release not the end of the world, cant wait till their new albums out on the 18th jan.

thanks for all the sujestions walsey the sensors came from gsf i did think it might be wiring on the sensor that was problem with fault returning, had a quick look but couldnt see any probs with it, ill have a better look in the morn, will also check the maf, and lambda, someone also sujested it could be a faulty isv but im not gona buy any more parts, just check what youve all sujested then take it to stealth as i could end up wasteing more money on parts i dont need lol its strange that as much of a pain in the arse she is i still love her, ive even taken to sweet talking her every time i use her in the hope she will give me some love back, but it never seems to work :epicfail: lmao oh the joys of owning a corrado :roll:

i hope someone can help me, im getting realy fed up with my car now, 93 VR6. ok, about 6 weeks ago i started having probs with her stalling when i went down my gears, and being very reluctent to start again. When she did start she stank of fuel, ran lumpy and wouldnt keep a steady idle speed. so i replaced the spark plugs, ht leads, coilpack, fuel filter, gave her an oil and filter change, and cleaned the isv. Although this did make the engine pick up better it didnt sort the stalling. So i bought a vag-com, it threw up 3 codes: the coolent temp sensor, engine speed sensor, and lambda sensor. I replaced the engine speed and coolant temp sensors and left the lambda to see if it was the other 2 sensors causing that one to give the fault code, the car ran ok for 2 days then back to her idleing and stalling probs. The vag-com is now throwing the coolant temp sensor fault again, and lambda sensor fault, lambda doesnt come up every time after i reset the fault codes so ive asumed that one isnt the problem, ive now replaced the coolant temp sensor twice, but imediatly got that fault come up again on the vag com! my engine is getting rather rattley, could it be on the way out? any help or suggestions would be greatfuly appreciated, as i havent got the spare cash to take it to stealth for them to look at for a few more weeks.

i did think about tinting them red, but think the smoked will look better? yesterday i was gona trade her in for a golf 1.8t she p***d me of that much, but then i stood back looked at her and remembered how much i love her realy

The smoked/red rear lights should be available from someone like venom yeah i had them on order from there for the last 3 months, finaly gave in and canceled the order yesterday, and gona tint the crystal ones i have.

i have vag-com with both 16 pin and 2x2 so can do both obd1 and obd2, im happy to help out in the worcestershire area.

i bought a bosch lambda sensor from gsf, they gave me one with the part number 0258 003 439 - 760, i questioned if it was the correct one for my car as i was told i needed part number 0258 003 267 and they said bosch had condensed their range, and the new part number was the correct one for my car. It seems strange that the old part number doesnt fall in the bracket of the new part number, they have said i can take the part back if im not happy, as i can get one with the original part number elsewere, i dont want to go to fit it and find its the wrong one, or it only last a few months as its not specificly for my car, has anyone tried this bosch part on their car? If so has it lasted or failed after a couple of months? thanks
