    Hello all..

     

    Just a quick question really as i have been looking around for ages and cant realy find any detailed places on the conversion of a 1.8t into a corrado i know qpeng ant stuff but its about using the standard engine managment not hte qpeng ECU. I just wanted to know how easy it is and what it involves. Has anyone done a conversion just using the 1.8 managment and loom etc.

     

    Also i have heard that the intercooler pipes wont fit in the corrado is this true??? I have looked on samco etc and cant find any for the conversions.

     

    Any info would be great cheerrss.

    Ok, you've done all the usual stuff then... maybe a lambda fault? could try unplugging it, if it makes no difference then it's probably shot.

     

    You really need to get it on VAGCOM - those Snap-On readers don't seem to like the 9A engine but it's more to do with the engine as you need to use v409.0 or later of VAGCOM with the baud rate set to 4,800 for the 9A only.

     

    So the one that i have got can not be used to read my engine then???

    I dont realy want to go to VW as they charge a fortune to plug it in

    Also i have tried pluging it into to VAG-COM and the year of me car 1993 says use ob2 plug but mine is 2x2 plug so i selected year 1992 with the 2x2 plug and it wouldnt connect on either years. And this was a genuine Snap on reader Not some cheap cr"p of ebay. It read No respone can not connect.

    Some more info might help like when it was last serviced or what's been changed recently?

     

    As ignition parts break down you can get HT misfires at low RPM or at idle but the car can run fine as the engine speed picks up.

     

    Deffo something wrong if your getting less than 20mpg! - I'd also check for vac leaks and try and get it on VAGCOM to see if there are any fault codes.

     

    Just had Recent MOT. New belts etc

     

    I have put new HT leads, Plugs, Disi cap, rotor arm, fuel filter checked timing and its ok. Now vacum leaks checked that also have checked the cold start valve by taking it off and checked if it was spraying all the time ( It wasnt). But plugs are still dark in colour overfueling and also you can smell it is very rich. Have Also checked the blue temp switch resistance and that seems to be working ok as resistance starts at 6800 -7000 at cold then reduces to 280-350 at 90 .c .

    yes i noticed that but i have read as long as it has the 2x2 plugs with 4 wires it will work if it has the 3 wires on the 2x2 plugs it wont but surely it should be the same protocals as the golf mk3? :confused4:

     

    Thinking about it, my VW specialist has used it on my corrado before, so infact there's not a problem.

     

    Yea man i am going to go for it i will let you know how it goes cheers bro
