  1. Really? I've owned it over 4 years now! Although it's not always on the road... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. This sounds and looks amazing, never seen it before! I think I'm heading up to Dubs Mania on the Sunday, so may have to come along to this as well! Will let you know
  3. Yeh i may pop up on the Sunday, I notice your in Swindon, same here, what day you planning on heading up? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. Ok, this is what mines doing I believe... I think it's an earthing issue, anyone know of any earth that I may have missed? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. I may be interested in going to this, whats the usual turnout? More then likely just come up on the Sunday though
  6. YES! My first ever spotted! Despite multiple current issues my Corrado did indeed make it the 1100+ mile journey to and from the ring with 6 laps! Was an amazing journey and a stunning track, a must do! Only knew of one other Corrado there but I never saw it, a friend took a picture and i don't think it was on English plates. Well chuffed with this :) What were you there in?
  7. Hello, I wondered if someone could let me know what should be expected of the ISV, in terms of the positioning of the valve. I have bought a brand one bosch one recently, as well as load of other things to try and cure a bad idle/running, but it's still no good, I want to make sure the new unit isn't at fault. Where should the valve be when off? Where should the valve be on ignition? What should the valve do when your turn the engine on? and any other checks i can perform? I am also constantly getting the error, '00533 Idle Speed Regulation Adaption limit not reached', which returns as soon as it is cleared. Thanks
  8. What do you want for it? are you able to get some photos and measure a piece for me as well? and yeh, i have a metal ended one, but the measurement that is wrong, is a measurement on the other side of the filter.
  9. Yeh just slightly confused how I have never ran into this issue before, considering this would be maybe the 4th/5th filter change... What have you swapped to out of interest? Cheers Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  10. Yeh, thats the mann one i have at home, doesnt fit the car...
  11. Having problems getting the correct oil filter for my car, Andrew page, eurocarparts and VW cannot seem to get me the correct part. The last one i used was a crosland filter, from euro part number L10096PE, which i have gone and got another one of, but the dimensions are different. I also have a mann H932/5 which matches the new crosland. The one that came out of the car, the recess at the bottom, which sits in the upsidedown black screw in cap, is 34mm wide and all the new crosland, mann and vw oil filters are 30mm wide. Really struggling to get a new filter, and need one for the weekend, because i don't want to put the old one back in for now... Thanks anyone for their help Oli
  12. Only just seen this thread, but I have a 1/8th (I think) electric car (can't remember model) with a Corrado shell on, pretty sure it's a decent one and got it for a steal! Will try and get a pictUre later if I remember For that nitro one, whip the shell off and the glow plug out the head, stick the plug in the starter and see if it's working, also whilst the plug is out pull the pull start (if it's pull start) and check the piston is moving, and that fuel is getting pulled in. If the plug doesn't glow, could either be the plug, or the plug starter. If the piston doesn't move, could be the pull start, or seized piston If no fuel, check for disconnected or clogged fuel lines and make sure the carb is opened up enough Hope this helps Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. I looked up the total cost of this not too long ago, as well as looking for them on Australian Ebay (there are none) it costs about £8.5k-£9k to get the car over there, and on the road... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. Planning to go travelling next year for about a year and a half, I'm planning on getting a cheap garage for it and given a few friends some keys and asking them to take it in turns taking it out, I couldn't part with mine... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. Common issue on the Corrado a few options for you, the wiki has an article for it http://wiki.the-corrado.net/jammed_bonnet_opening_tips.html Make sure you get this sorted soon as. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  16. Have you got a link for these?? I can't find them
  17. Did the front wings ever sell? Are they rust free? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  18. Looking for new rust free late wings for the c, would prefer aqua blue pearl, but would be open to any colour depending on price. Thanks
  19. No it's just for about 6 of us to get to our garages... Such an odd one Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  20. I'm guessing a flat bed has come along it whilst it was parked up, they managed to knock the mirror in as well and scuff the cap... Odd one because it's the alleyway behind my house, with no real reason for anyone to go down there... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  21. Yeh checked that one, thought thats the one you meant first time round for some reason... but yeh, both of those plugs are free from corrosion
  22. Thanks for your help again, never even seen that section of the manual! That graph seems to line up with my figures, and I can't quite remember, but I'm pretty sure my sensor is reading much higher values then that, so I'll test again tonight! Yes have checked it for corrosion, it had some greening, thats all cleaned up now. Cheers
  23. Came back to my car, which baring in mind is usually in the garage, but my housemate is using it at the moment to work on his car, and this had happened Absolutely fuming!!! P.S. ignore my dirty wheel please... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  24. Did a few checks and just before i try to re-pin the sensor to the ECU, can someone confirm the resistance of the blue coolant temp sensor when cold? I found this online, but it is for a Golf VR6. 5500Ω at 0°c 2500Ω at 20°c 1250Ω at 40°c 600Ω at 60°c 325Ω at 80°c Thanks
