    Not expensive from the dealer last time I checked.

    Cam sensor is used for ignition timing. If it is faulty the map changes to limp mode. On the other hand the crank sensor will always report an error with the engine not running. Two different sensors.

    Ok. Will take a look at the one I have tomorrow. I'm away at the minute. PM me your address just in case.

    Plastic oil filter housing with drain plug. Should still be available from VW new.
  6. fendervg
    ? You want a cup holder that looks like the oil filter housing?! Good idea.

    For sure. Unicorn genitals come to mind. The recaros are actually not as nice to sit in as the standard heated leather, so not worth the scene tax in my opinion. Now cloth electric Recaros are another thing altogether.

    The two terminals I. The sensor form a circuit via the coolant. If the level drops, the circuit is broken, hence the light goes on. Check the wiring to make sure it is working and bridge the pins on the connector. You might have a dodgy tank.

    If you look near the jacking points on the sills and then go inwards you will find a number of strengthened points on the chassis shell that you can use. Be careful to protect the top of your jack stands and jack with something (I use a rubber ice hockey puck) so as not to damage the under seal. If you do a Google search, there is a picture about of the Corrado from underneath with all the jacking points and reinforced sections marked.

    Door weather guards

    Indeed. I concur. ;)

    Apologies for the late update - mine arrived last week - all good. Keep up the good work, really appreciated.

    Do you have the lower steering column cowling for a height adjustable wheel? Thanks.

    IMHO your best bet is to find a good independent mechanic and build up some trust and a business relationship over time. I'm happy to do nearly everything myself, but don't have access to a lift or ramps. Some jobs are just not worth it if you can't get the car into the air at a comfortable working height. Talking in general rather than just camber adjustment.

    They don't know monkeys about older cars as a general rule. The guys that knew how to do it are probably retired. Just because they have a fancy laser test rig doesn't mean that they know anything about how suspension geometry works. You can do it with a piece of string and a few basic tools at home.

    Any mounts other than rubber will result in increased feedback and vibration. There are also rubber dampers on the subframe that you can look at. Another reason can be a tired gearbox shift fork mechanism or an incorrectly fitted clutch disc.
  16. fendervg
    Engine and gearbox mounts need checking?

    I maybe able to help, but why do you not simply return what you bought and get the correct one? They are easily available. I think I have a 93 VR6 one at home and will try to dig it out later this evening and have a look.

    Spoiler Help

    You're on the right track, I'd say. Good work.

    That's just the name. There are junior and power timers depending on the size etc.
  21. fendervg
    Thanks Jim. Anyone else?
  22. fendervg
    Looks like your MAF or inlet manifold temp sensor is disconnected.
  23. fendervg
    If the part numbers don't match up I would say the answer is no. You might be able to swap the whole assembly over though.

    Spoiler Help

    There is a speed sender wiring point behind the fuse box. This feeds the clocks, spoiler and radio volume control. I think it's a blue white wire. It takes its signal from a sender in the gearbox.

    The answer is yes for all VAG cars. Some items are also even found on other manufacturer's cars.
