  1. Thanks... I thought I might have to drop the whole lot!!! :salute:
  2. Hey all... I'm in the middle of doing a service on my 2.0 16V(Oil, Air, Fuel and Plugs) and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the Fuel Filter out of the Jubilee style clip that holds it in place??? The old filter looks like its been on there a long time and I can feel the top of the clip, which has a screw type fastener on the top, but how on earth do I get to it or spin it around to loosen it? Its driving me nuts :censored: Any :help: will be most appreciated :notworthy:
  3. So... I picked up the car today, and to say I didn't sleep is an understatement! I've owned alot of cars from BMW to Imprezas but nothing has made me sleep less than a Corrado :help: Traded in my Impreza for it with cash my way, and considering its about half the power of the Impreza, it made me smile more :cuckoo: Other VW owners were waving and people were looking and pointing as I went by. To say it felt GOOD is an understatement :D Its got a few probs which are as follows... Drivers door handle don't work, but have been told its a common problem? And its idling a bit fast"1000rpm"... Is this normal? Been told it might need a good service or worse still could be Idle control valve or other... Does anybody have anyother hints they could throw my way :notworthy: Only had it a couple of hours and am in love dispite the flaws so any help would be much appreciated :clap: Its done 135K if that helps and is a 95 N reg 2.0 16V. Thankyou Andy
  4. OK... So how much difference does the MK3 gti/ABF cams make compared to the 1.8? is there that much difference? Also are they both just a direct replacement or do I need to change/upgrade anything else i.e. followers etc...? And I take it that a Panel filter is the way to go, but which one... K&N or Pipercross? Also has anybody Chipped a 2.0 16V? I see Superchips do one, but for £200+ is it really worth it for 10 bhp? :shrug: :brickwall: :scratch: :roll: Thanks guys :notworthy:
  5. Hi Guys and Girls :wave: ... I've just bought a Corrado 2.0 16V N reg(My first ever VW) and a mate has a couple of 1.8 engines and he reckons that the CAMs on the 1.8 can be used in the 2.0 as an upgrade? :cuckoo: :cuckoo: Has anybody heard of or done this? Also what induction kits are there for the 2.0 16V, can't find any decent ones except the Pipercross one that replaces the complete bottom of the OE Airbox! Thanks Andy :salute:
