i think its just time rather than difficulty

TBH i think the corrado dash is better than the mk3 one
-
Nice, the way you have to drive around a track is so different to on the road. when I went for a lap in the dodge viper at the nurburgring in Aug this year, the driver was talking as he went round telling me about marks on the road and stuff but i was to busy holding on lol

Adam Darby replied to 2corrados's topic in Engine Bay
Its not the sensor in the dizzy is it, this can be repaired quite easily if it is. go to the second page on this link and read what crazy dave has put about fixing it. http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=48136&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15 -
I was advised to do this on my wifes lupo by vince from stealth whilst i was having the cam belt done. I got mine from german and sweedish

get some old 15" wheels and stick some slick's on them

if he could afford it i would go for a stand alone fuel system thats what im gonna change to when i get the money, my engine is using K-jet at the moment but it also has a 5th fuel injector in the throttle body which is controlled on its own by a turbo technics unit.
-
yeh mate all have a go. give me an email address to send them to.

first of all from reading my book it sounds like there are two way of altering it. are you sure that the garage adjusted the right screw when the i was at my last MOT and the garage said they were gonna adjust it they use the air screw in the throttle body instead of the 5mm alen screw in the fuel distro buter/ airflow meter. It also sounds like you can alter the electrohydraulic actuator here is what the book says, the electrohydraulic actuator consists of a valve on a reed located between magnets. An eclectro-magnet is located in the device so it can either increase or decrease the effect of the magnetic field. As the magnet field changes, the reed can flex back and forth, thereby changing the size of the valve opening. Varying the size of the opening varies the amount of fuel entering the lower chambers of the fuel distrobutor, thus altering the lower chamber pressure. A thin stainless-steel diaphragm spearates the lower from the upper chamber. when the pressure in the lower chamber rises the diaphragm is deflected up, restricting the flow of fuel to the injectors. When the lower pressure decreases the diaphragm is deflected down, increasing the fuel flow to the injectors. Increasing the current through the electro magnet lowers the pressure in the lower chambers of the fuel distributor, enriching the mixture. Reversing curent increases lower chamber pressure and reduces or even shuts off fuel flow to the injectors. (it then has a picture whis show the electrohydraulic actuator and it points out two screws and makes it look like you can adjust it with these).

ill have a look in my book when i find it and let you know if it says anything. is it not possible to do something daft like adjust the fuel preassure so it real low like on a diesel, so its not pumping as much fuel in.
-
what is the fuel system on the 2.0l called again is it KE
-
the 2.0 l is still virtualy K-Jet am i wrong. Does it have the air flow meter like the K-Jet because they have a 5MM alen screw that you tweek to adjust the CO2 reading. ive got a bosh fuel injection book for all VW's ill have a look tonight, if its not the same ill see if it tell's you how to adjust it.

Looking at my MK2 8V one there is one that coveres the ECU which might go over the wiper motor, Im gonna take it off and try it on my corrado this weekend ill let you all know.
-
oh ok ill get the mk3 ones, the other side was replaced about 6 months ago
-
what will they fit on a corrado
-
would i have to buy two so they match, because i only need one
-
LOL, well i thought the seats and door cards would be easy enough, just the dash seems like it wil be a nightmare. anybody got dimensions of the corrado dash, and any more info on clocks etc.
-
hi just a question to anyone who has put a different Interior in there corrado. How much work was needed and were any special tool's needed, also how did you go about fitting the clock's and speedo. I want to know because it's alot of money to fully retrim your car (dash+ door's included) and I might have the chance at getting a new interior so if i could fit this myself would work out great. cheers
-
yep thats what is up with the one ive got
-
nice one cheers
-
cheers mate which golf is this off
-
£70 is a bit much thought they would be cheap. any more info on using a golf one
