Do a search mate, covered loads. Fuel pump relay is either 67, 80, or 167 dependant on time of manufacture, and is located on the bottom right of the relay panel just above the fuses. :salute:

I'm not being funny, but I think thats pretty sexual! :norty:

Just re-read it, sorry if I've given you duff info, the injector lines from the metering head are rubber until they reach the hard lines just after bending. They are then hard lines into the injectors. I don't think this will be your problem though, as If I'm reading it right again, you only developed the problem after giving it the service, is that right?

Here is a guide I did on GGTI for my Golf3, but it should be pretty similar. Once the sensor is replaced, you need to drive it to reset the ABS ECU. It will reset at about 15mph. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=204972.0

Just pull the fuses out one at a time and replace once you've checked. You should see if theres anything obvious.

Have a look on ebay for the convex heated type. About £10 a side mate. Theres a thread on here about it somewhere. :D

VR6 Rads are Uber expensive (circa £200 for pattern parts). If you want a garage to do it, its gonna cost at least another £100. Remember you need to factor in new coolant too. You may as well go for a full flush, thermostat, housing, and seal change whilst your at it. You can re-use your coolant provided its not too old, and you filter it before putting it back in, it should be fine to re-use although not really recommended. If I were you, I'd phone around for prices for a re-core in your area to see if thats a viable option. It'll come back like new anyway! Hope this helps mate!

I expect whilst changing the air filter, you've disturbed one of the vac lines. Have a look round the airbox and see if there's anything amiss, and trace all the pipes checking for air leaks. The injector lines are indeed hard lines, so I don't think this will be anything to do with your problem mate. Hope this helps. :D

If you take off the spade connector, and touch the rocker cover with it, if the fan doesn't run that should tell you. Then touch the lifting point right next to it, and it should run. The switch is obviously open circuit until it gets to temp (100 degs iirc) at which point it makes and earths on block obviously. Powdercoating has obviously interrupted it touching bare metal so I reckon thats your problem mate. :thumbleft:

Hmmmmm, mine was also written off in Plymouth after a nice chap in a Range Rover killed it on the 6th. Google DevonDubShack. Dan who owns it took mine, he has another couple there in various states of dismantling. :thumbleft:

Its far more than that tbh. Just have a good listen, and if its nice and quiet at cold and at idle, there should be absolutely no problem for a fair few years! Look here........ http://wiki.the-corrado.net/the_corrado_buying_guide_checklist.html

Rad fan after run switch. Don't see why you couldn't move it tbh. Just don't hide it in a corner somewhere, as its obviously temperature related therefore decent exposure to engine bay temps is the idea.

Bump!

Still for sale!

Not needed at the scrappy. :( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320925849299?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Replied mate. :thumbleft:

Bought from ECP last month, 2 weeks before my car was written off. Contitech Timing belt kit Hengst Fuel Filter Bought with GolfGTIForum 25% discount, so cost £44.05 and £9.45 respectively. Been in the kitchen cupboard since unopened. I can do the Timing Belt kit for £36 posted, and the Fuel Filter for £8 posted. Will also put photocopies of the receipts with it to assure you. Car is being picked up for breaking tomorrow so all original receipts will be going with it. :) Cheers, Sean.

Rad fan after run switch. If you touch the spade on the block with the engine switched off, the fan should start running. Wont cause any problems at all with it disconnected, it just wont cool down as quickly after switch off.

Hope you get it sorted soon mate. Is there any dispute as to who's at fault? Seems an awful long time to sort it all out. I had an accident in my C (I say me, I was just sat at the lights!), on the Wed 6th. Assessor came out on Fri 8th, and insurance informed me on Mon 11th it was a cat B write-off and made an offer which I accepted. I thought mine was taking a little time and they didn't seem to be very proactive, and I'm insured with Adrian Flux. Again I say I'm insured with them, but for everything (claim, hire car, personal injury, engineers report) have all been palmed off to other companies who I've had to call myself. Just keep badgering them, and tell them your not confident the car is safe to be repaired, and it would cause psychological and anxiety problems for you and the missus if you had to drive it again.

I had it on my KR. It went away for a up to 2 weeks, then just randomly came back for a day or two. It happened at either low or high revs, cold or warm. I changed both sensors, dropped the sump and cleaned the pickup, checked the pump and had it pressure tested, and still never got to the bottom of it. I put it down to either the clocks or the wiring but obviously being intermittent its very hard to track down. I had to live with it.........Until last week. :(

Have a look round bottom of the engine for snail trails (crystalised coolant deposits) for any sign of coolant leak if your not entirely sure the wet carpets are the product of a duff matrix. Give the engine bay a good degrease and pressure wash/steam clean. Unless its absolutely obvious, this is the only way you will be able to pinpoint where you leak/s is/are coming from. Generally small leaks are from perished seals of cars this age, and the back of the head could just be from the rocker cover which is very simple to do, and cheap to replace yourself.

And got what he deserved today! :lol:

No way on earth Fernando Alonso should be anywhere near that list imo. Jumped up little arsehole that thinks he's better than he actually is!

Yeah I thought they were legal due to the fact they identify "accident blackspots" as opposed to speed cameras! :nuts::lol:

I had this on my mk3 too.
