my corrado vr6 on ebay :( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271038998227?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Hi all After a set of VR6 clocks as mine have gone crazy, there from a 1992 corrado vr6. here is the part number: cheers
-
Corrado VR6 grill badge if anyone has one please? thanks
-
cheers for your help chaps, nice how to tom, had a google search seems you change it by stripping the distributer. the problem seems to be finding the part, may have to give bosch a call. yeh i thought that about the wiring upon closer inspection its silicone sealant stuck to the wires not burnage!
-
hmm it does drive like the ignition timing is retarded. so mine being an early distributer model it dosent have a cam sensor? but has the following sensor seen in the image instead?? i cant find it on etka so assuming it comes as a whole distributer? :( interesting i appear to have an earth connection adrift which you can see pictured, cant find a wire for it mind... ---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ---------- the fault code for the hall sender g40 fault is 00515
-
thanks man, just rang TPS an its NLA for a 1992 model, they can only supply 93 onwards. Anyone else had this trouble? seems im fairly screwed. yeh it is low on power :(
-
hi all got abit of low rev hesitation, so thought i'd plug it in, have the following faults: Hall sensor-G40 open short circuit to positive engine speed sensor-g28 no signal any ideas??

My auxilary water pump was disconnected when i bought my corrado vr6, some people say leave it disconnected others say connect it, i was under the illusion it only ran when the ignition was off for a short time. But after searching on here it would appear it runs all the time the ignition is on? this made me think its probably a good idea to have it working. Anyhow i re-connected it and it still didnt work, traced the wire to the fan control unit and looked at the pin diagram on the unit and it appears that theres no output to where my auxilary pump wire goes, hmmm odd. anyhow looked on etka and realised i have the incorrect control unit. Part number of the one fitted to my car is 1H0 941 597. according to etka it should be 1HO 919 506 A looked on ebay for them and sure enough the correct part has a pin labelled WP, assuming this is the auxilary water pump :) £14 inc. postage, fingers crossed it works!
-
thanks man, have managed to get a copy of ETKA, that is the correct part number for mine too :) if anyone wants any parts looking up then hollar
-
if its a 1992 model it may well pass the MOT as the CAT is not mandatry untill August 1992, if so anything on a k reg without a CAT %99 of the time wont have a CAT test during the MOT!

-
im not sure he's ever seen the limiter in his life :) he works for the council!! he bought one off ebay last night which hes going to get refurbed, cheers for the advice chaps!
-
oh rite so the weitec springs are only gona work with weitec shocks, would have been nice of them to say when i bought them. nevermind getting some new shocks and springs on tuesday so the weitec ones can go back
-
thanks for all your advice, much appreciated. I shall pass it on :) not the best start to his g60 ownership!! ha!
-
sounds promising :) cheers, just sorted some shocks and springs from the classifieds so should be nice and level again next weekend!!!
-
looks awful dosent it, i bought them brand new off demon tweeks shop on ebay, will see if they will have them back. definately not right. aww well take the struts out, put the struts back in, in, out, in, out and ..... :)
-
a mate of mine bought a g60 yesterday, unfortunately on his way home the supercharger went boom. hes not registered on here yet so has asked me to put a post up for some advise, basicly why has this happened? blocked oil feed or just worn out? obviously it looks like its going to need a new supercharger, any advise on the best ones to purchase for reliability and cost? cheers
-
have got a couple better pictures, the pearlesant one is the vr6 with 40mm weitec springs the blue one is my valver with 60mm springs. vr6 is far too low at the back, looks like ive got a fat bird on board! ha! both cars have same size wheels and tyres. the springs are almost completely compressed also which cant be good...
-
hi all bought a set of weitec 40mm lowering springs for my 92 vr6, fitted them yesterday and rather than a 40mm drop i seem to have a all the way to the floor drop on the rear! everything is standard apart from the springs. gotta be wrongly boxed and the wrong springs surely??
-
cheers man, i was thinking fuel filter, wasnt sure if the vacuum would travel through the filter. ile give it some miles and see how it is with and without a fuel filter. glad there vr6 clocks was beginning to wonder if i had abit of a mismatch ha!
-
after a servo vacuum hose for my vr6, the whole thing including the valvey bit cheers!
-
heres some pics, definately vacuum controlled and the 6 on the rev counter would indicate v6 clocks. hmmm...
