Big'G'

Oh well I'm the odd one out, I'm just a warehouse supervisor for an electrical wholeseller. Nothing exciting and not very well paid, hence my valver in standard condition....... other than a set o' 17's.

Funnily enough I have the same thing going on with my valver although the only thing changed on mine are the wheels.......

I too am getting juddering under heavy braking and it feels like the ABS is kicking in too early. The previous owner threw on some lowering springs but i'm not too sure if that itself would alter how the ABS works. Anyone know more about this?

Fixed the fan that stopped working, turned out to be a snapped cable and was cooking my engine so thank feck i found that out quickly. Washed the car, hoovered and dusted..... I love my Corrado and woe-betide the person who tries feckin with it........

Big'G' I nearly died when I was 9, appendicitice for a week isn't good, my mum had a doctor out every day. I have numerous wild caught tropical fish - South american for those in the know. I have two cats - Michael and Gabriel

Nice one, it's always good to get the detailed bits that the stealers can't help with. With my knowledge of mechanics being nill, I was delighted to find the problem being the live feeds to the fan had snapped at the battery terminal so it was just a case of re-connecting it. Fan works fine and temps keepin around the 70-80 mark, instead of hitting the 110-120.

Found the problem to be my fan not kicking in, so I'll do a test to see if it's needing replaced or whether to fit a manual switch. Fingers crossed I can get that done this weeked. Once that's done it'll be on to the next little bits and bobs.......

Ok people I hope you can help solve my problem. I notice that when the engine is cold all is good however today when I parked-up for 10min witht the engine running steam started pouring out of the engine bay above the expansion tank. I popped the bonnet and found the hoses in/out of the radiator were solid and very hot (far too hot to hold). I know nothing when it comes to mechanics and couldn't begin to hazard even a guess if someone asked me about this! It's my daily too and need to get back and forward to work so need to get this sorted as quickly and cheaply as poss. I really don't want to run it when it's like this. Oh and i haven't noticed the fan coming on lately although it used to. I have been having probs with the engine getting hot just lately but today she blew a load of water....

If you can find a scaffolding board and chop it in half you should be able to get onto your ramps.......

Excellent those links are perfect Thanks :clap:

So if it's after market that wont in any way affect an M.O.T, nice almost got the check list done should be on the road in Jan

i take it youve got a flat rear bench, hence having the 3 seat belts..[/quote:1191bbs8] 'Flat rear bench' (No centre console)? Yeah

How many of you actually have space for 3 people in the back seat? You see I seem to have room for 2 but have 3 seat belts in my '94 2L 16v. So what I'm wondering is if I remove the middle belt will this infringe on any laws or passing an M.O.T ? Ideally I want to remove it.

a product called SEM..... As mentioned earlier!

I see.... So the page I was looking at is no use as it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the 16v engine. Any input on a good site to get VW Spares? I really must learn a lot more about cars.

My Raddo is a '94 2L 16v when checking for spares I came across pull down menu asking if what I have is....... Digifant 2E or Digifant ADY What's the difference and what is my car likely to be?

So is it better to get a cable with a usb or serial connection? Or doesn't it matter ??

Ok just come across this; can someone just explain what this VAGcom is what the benefits are and is it worth investing in. Am I right in thinking that it's a free download and you fork out for the hardware, which then allows use of the programme? (from what i can gather from this topic)!

there is one thing that is bugging me though, I have a great urge to paint the VW badge with 'glow in the dark' paint. Don't know why, just do!

Planning to get rid of the little rust spots here and there, not many at all. Re-new some of the bits and pieces that are getting worn a bit clean up the inside and then get on to some miner tuning; but then it always starts with some miner tuning, I'm looking to re-new the brakes and sort out the engine bay to start with, flywheel, cams, set o' new 17's, and so on from there, it'll take some time, more so with xmas round the corner.

Well here it is -
