Yeah I was pretty sure mate though I am starting to doubt it now- the oil temp was up to 115 and I did ring her out quite a bit!!

The problem is that the engine was very hot and the fan should have cut in- it was working fine before I changed the temp sender unit. Any ideas chaps?

Hi Chaps Yesterday I changed all 3 temp sensors- A PITA but all done. Previously my temp gauge has always read very low (no more than 1/4 ). The temp gauge now stays around the middle point---which is good.. BUT after a spirited drive it went up to 3/4 and the cooling fan did not kick in. The fan was working a fortnight ago definitely. I have taken the plug off the rad switch and the fan does work on both speeds when the pins are bridged so that isn't a problem. Is it likely to be a faulty rad fan switch or is this related to the 3 cylinder head temp sensors that I changed. I recall reading somewhere that the fan does take a feed from the same one as the Temp Gauge but as I said that is working ok Darren

Hi chris -- good to have a chat with you on Sunday. It was a good show!!!. Pity I had to leave early but I had to get a new battery---- (£90 for a standard one from Halfrauds :censored: ) Still it was an easy fix. Your two cars were looking rather tidy as usual. Can You give me more details on the thin tape that you used to do your rear lenses please? Darren

Hi Laura one alloy on e-bay for sale! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Corrado-Spare- ... 0520545527 Darren

Thanks for your help---is there a need to drain down first or is there likely only to be a trickle?

So how did you solve it?

Was about to change these today the new ones have small round connectors yet the ones on the block are different. 2x spade connectors & 1x round connector that looks (could be wrong) bigger than that on the new ones. Any advice guys? Darren

All ours work perfectly 5 that is, touches wood :lol: All my Corrado sunroofs work correctly too :D Though I do only have one :wink:

Thanks Judith

Via the website I joined the CCGB on 23/07. Yet my account has still not been approved :shrug: How long would normally take?

After getting the wheel bearing sorted today I thought I would take a couple of pics on the way home :)

I prefer to stick my plates on-- been doing it for years. it looks neater and harder to steel too.

If these are still up for grabs I would like them please :) I want 2 early ones to match my ignition key then I will simply put the replacement handles on the car. My passenger side one also has a very weak/broken spring ie you pull the handle out but it doesn't return without a push Darren

And this will not be to everyone's taste but is was very cheap and feels good---Momo Corse wheel.

Then I fitted the new mats from the guy on e-bay.

Got myself some chrome rear badges. Corrodo- courtesy of a very friendly breaker & 16V courtesy of CazzaVR :D

I joined the CCGB :clap:

Probably a bad connection, dodgy earth or a damaged piece of wire which is either earthing against the bodywork or internally split. You need to have a good look at the wiring leading to the lamp. Also worth cleaning up any connectors in that area.

Looks great-well done mate!!
