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

real nice looking rado, youve made some real nice changes not sure on the yellow tints on any of the front lights, but like the smoked look. ps, you have the back lights i want but cant get :mad2:

ive got a set of smoked crystal lights on order, i should of had them last week but aparently there are manufacturing problems, so i might just tint the crystal m3 style ones ive already got. i sent farther christmas my wish list and if ive been a good girl which i think i have i should get a set of coilovers for christmas :D as for feeling a rare moment of love, it was very rare lol, i think the old girl might be going through the menapause or something cause shes being a right stroppy b***h atm lol :shrug:

i would advice against yoko pradas (if you can get them in a 15 that is), ive replaced the toyos i had on my other car with these, they are great in the dry, but a REAL let down in the wet, im just glad they are a soft compound and are wearing out quick. Thanks vag-hag

not sure without looking, but i know the make is some real cheap c**p that was put on her just before i bought her, im planing on buying a new wheel and tyre package when those tyres have worn out.

spent all last week sorting my wheels and spraying them black, also sprayed and fitted my debadged grill, so thoughtd id put a few pics up to see what you think? i wasnt sure if id like the black wheels but im realy pleased with how they look :D ive got some new back lights on order too which i should have this week, i realy need to save up to get her lowered now though, i could park another car under her shes that high lol. http://s972.photobucket.com/albums/ae20 ... ew%20look/

removed the back two wheels and preped and painted them.

truly shocking, im lost for words lol

thats what i thought and at £3490 youd think it would but they dont explain all the complications very clearly (if at all) before you get it done, but its stoped me from going near blind so i cant complain.

thanks eveyone im gona get a set of the looms vwdeviant recomeded, got some H4 bulbs to go in, and probs gona get some angel eyes, if that dont help ill stick 10 driving lamps on the bonnet lol

after driving my car in the dark whilst it was pouring down with rain for the first time last night, i discovered how bad the headlights are!! i work nights, and after having lazer eye surgery last year my night vision is not the best, so i realy need to do something to improve the lights. any suggestions? ive saw on ebay a upgraded wiring harness, anyone tryed this? ive got some better bulbs also wondering if the angle eye headlights are any better? although im not realy sure on them as ive heard a few chav coments about angle eyes. i havent saw any myself but does anyone know if you can get a crystal clear headlight without the angle eyes? thanks for any help
