    Thanks for the replies. Cam cover was leaking oil previously but has been cured. Only part of exhaust I haven't renewed is down pipe so could be culprit. I have a spare so may change and do manifold gasket as well. Hope this cures it.

    This is worse when hot. Doesn't seem to be any blow from manifold area. Weird.

    Hi folks, when I turn fan heater on in car I get a strong smell of exhaust fumes through vents. Car runs spot on. 1.8 16v. Am I being over worried thinking head gasket. Any ideas ??.

    2.0 Abf

    Dave W replied to Dave W's topic in Engine Bay

    Whats difference between abf and 9a. 9a engines seem to be cheaper to buy than abf. Would a 9a block give same power as abf with kr head and fuelling. Confused...

    If I was to install an Abf block vice Kr block, is this a simple swap or is there any mods required. Can I keep original Kr head and fuelling. Also does Kr gearbox work. Just thinking about winter upgrade while she's hibernating.

    Totally agree with comments. Would be ruined if you used as daily, but whats the point of spending that much and not using it.

    Cant be many as good as that left though.

    There is a minted valver on ebay. 38000 miles . 1 owner, but its £7500. What in peoples opinion is it worth or is it worth that if your willing to pay that. Seems a bit ott to me.

    Kr engine removal

    Dave W posted a topic in Engine Bay

    Hi guys, what's the easiest way to remove a KR engine ?.
  12. Dave W
    Shouldn't have to. If its like 16v cars clutch master is kept topped up from brake master. Even if you empty brake master,the clutch master will remain full. I had to replace brake master and clutch was ok after. Well, until slave cylinder failed week later !!

    Thanks for all the info. 72 bar is on the pump. Pump seemed ok before I fitted it, belts all ok.I will have a chat with my very helpful local VW parts guy. See if he can shed any further light on pressures. Cant get near it this week for work. Can I get back to you about vr pump, cheers.

    There are numbers and stuff on polo pump but nowt decipherable on old pump. I will have to have a look and right them down. Sure something aint right. Should be able to turn wheels at stand with one hand ???.

    I used power steering pump off a polo in breakers. It is identical in shape to my seized one from corrado. My steering seems awful heavy for power steering. Does anyone know if these pumps run different pressures, polo one had much bigger pulley than corrado one. I fitted corrado pulley on pump.

    On original 1.8 16v alloys. Had them blasted and powder coated but should have checked to see how round they were first !!. Of the 5 , 3 of them pretty badly buckled/dented. Usable but will look out for new uns. Wanted to keep it original.

    Swapped fronts from Up. Wobble all but away. Small bit at 65 but far better. Will try balancing again somewhere else, could be old original wheels just past it. Hey ho.
  18. Dave W
    No mate I am working sunday unfortunately.
  19. Dave W
    Don't think so. I am in a black 16 valver. Will look out for you.

    Hi mate I'm in Dunfermline and go to most of the big classic shows, Glamis, Scone etc. I havn't seen one Corrado at any of these shows. Not many 80s 90s dubs at all. How many guys on here local to fife area ?.
  21. Dave W
    All new toyos. Had full alignment done after all work done. Wheels have been balanced twice now. Would locking wheel bolts upset it ?. Might pinch front wheels of wifes Up to prove wheels ok.
  22. Dave W
    Getting grief from wobbly steering wheel at about 50-60mph. Car has had original wheels refurbed and new rubber. All balanced ok. New bottom arms and top mounts. Everything tight with no play or knocks. Getting really annoying now.Dont know what to look at next. Two of wheels were pretty buckled and are on back. Can you bend a front hub ???.

    I have been hunting internet for a power rohr pipe to replace worn original plastic air intake on my 1.8 valver. Having no joy. Does any one know where i could get one from or are these old skool and not made anymore. Cheers, david.
  24. Dave W
    Cheers, I shall check out the housing. I had a bit grief with broken alternator wire in loom. If senor wires appear ok I will follow them see if they go into loom beside alternator wire, might have another one breaking.

    After 8 years off road finally got car ready for mot,which it passed woo hoo. But on the way the oil light came on for a second. This happened a couple of times. The oil is full but is due to be changed as it is old. Could it be a sensor. After all the work ive done ill be gutted if its engine. Its a 1.8 kr.
