Dave, no worries about the sunroof and again im glad the car is ok. I have had quite a major change of plan and now and not going abroad, well, not for a little while anyway as i have taken a job in canary wharf as i couldnt turn down the opportunity. So as im still in blighty i think corrado number 6 is on the cards! may go for a storm this time 8) . Best to the family, Andi

Hey guys. First off all dave im glad the car is running fine. Now, dghodges, i did solve it and based on what you have said i think i may know the problem. One the engine side of the airbox there is a small black box attached to the side of it with a plug attached to it on the rear, and for the life of me at the moment i cant remember what it is called. This may be the cause of your problems, easy way to check if i remember right is when the engine starts going ballastic un plug the plug from the back of this little black box, the engine "should" then return to normal, but please gat an auto sparky to confirm this fault as that little box cost me nearly £200 from Germany. also, if you do change it it has high pressure fuel in it so dont let it squirt you in the eyeball as i did and remember to change the green rubber gromets thats it is supplied with. Hope this helps. Andi

But if i disconnect the actuator (when cold) the car will start, she does not like it very much but will start. when up to normal temps, if i kill the engine and restart, same problem. so it happens regardless of if the engine is hot or cold.

right! think i solved it. i got the the car running but within a few seconds of starting, it would run super weak and start backfiring from the front end!. as i changed the acuactor last time the car was playing up, i disconnected it and then ran fine??, so, im assuming a fault with the signal from the lamba as,dispite changing this just before xmas, when ecu and actuator changed i cant think of anything else??? andy ideas? 0000, and i tried another acuator and ecu on the car, but same symptoms
-
yes and no. not wd40 but electrical contact spray. better than wd apparently, but to no avail
-
it does turn over, i will check for spark when i get back after work. and the pump does prime when turning the key

Hey all. help needed badly with my 2l 16v! Yesterday there was loads of water on the road. so i went through slowly, in the middle, with revs up, all was fine, drove at speed down the motorway for 40 miles. car running perfect. Stopped for 5 hours during work. Then car was hard to start. Thought it was damp, it started, i drove (hard) for about 30 mins to dry her out. Now DEAD :cry: wont start. when i turn the key, and pump the pedal, there is a swith on top of the engine which i think the throttle cable is connected to, it open full and the car feels like it should catch but wont???? Any ideas? A few months ago, i had major problems and i had a number of things wrong. i changed ECU, lamda, plugs, and module on the metering head which cost like 150 quid alone, as well as some sort of plug at the bottom of the engine was knackered

When mine was running really slow i checked everything and found fuel pressure was down. After hundreds of pounds i found that a 20p piece of fuel pipe in the tank had split on the inside!! Easy to change and cheap, might be worth a shot anyway considering the age of these fuel pipes now, especially with a high pressure system. Hope you get it sorted Andi

suspect fuel pump 2.0 16v - what are the symptoms?

Just a thought, the same thing happened on the wifes polo, i changed the fuel relay and fuel filter, worked fine then. im not technical but it might be worth a shot. -
cheers adam. at this point fella i will try anything i can. thanks for the post
-
thanks. i will get on to that in the morning. the joys of corrado ownership eh :wink:
-
no guys. i have a decat pipe on it. when i got it the cat and the rest of the exhaust was not in the best shape so i changed the lot. it has been perfect for nine months or so. its really confusing. i disconnected the temp switch and it ran much better (not right) so i cot a switch from vw, changed it, but still as bad. :roll:
-
changed all of the above then . and nothing??? still wont run. any ideas??
-
BTW. its a 2.0 l 16v., sorry should have mentioned
-
It does have a 5 injector. do you mean the injector could be fluffed????
-
hi all. following up regarding an earlier post. my 16v starts fine and runs perfectly for about 2-3mins, then all hell breaks loose and the engine starts backfiring and rocking back and fore and is utterly undrivable. :x suggestion from you all before as follows, and i have so far changed lamba changed temp switch changed leads changed coil changed all the piping from filter to inlet manifold ( due to holes) Fiddled with mixture a bit ( but nothing so reset it) Has anyone got any other suggestions ( it does run a little better if i disconnect the temp switch when backfiring) as the car has been off road for 6 weeks now :roll:
-
hi all, just a quickie whats the best fastest way to remove the strips on the side???? boiling water and brute force???? what if the paint comes off too :mad: any suggestions???? cheers all andi
-
cheers mr dog. if the lamba dont work i wil check coil pack next, to be honest with you, i hadnt even thought about that. i checked the dizzy first of all and bypassed to check for no spark or spark and i was fine, doesnt mean to say that i dont have a indifferent hall sender mind you, thanks for the advice andi
-
sorry for the delay in reply. it only happens from cold as the car does no have time to warm up. literaly, a minuite or two from running and ideling perfectly to backfiring and spluttering and the engine rocking back and forth :cry: very strange
-
sorry! cheers SCARLET!!! :oops:
-
cheers valver, will check it before i take it into a garage, i was going down the line of dodgy dizzy, but after checking it it was fine. im on the case. thanks again andi
-
will do thanks again gavin andi out
-
i dont know if it makes a difference, but when the car is running bad and backfiring, the black air intake from above the filter to the throttle body expands? i assume this the backfire? right or wrong? should this happen
-
good question, also if these were the fault, would vagcom pick it up?
