    had my vr since nov 2003 & it just gets better & better... really smooth & relaxing drive but has plenty of power when i need & running over 30mpg

    Its not like i dont drive it, done about 15k since i got it

     

    i think any car as old as the rado will have its problems,

    mine had one previous owner with all vw stamped history & receipts

     

    But then again I know people who have new cars that have issues which would p**s me of even more after forking out all that money

    MFA Checksums

     

    Did you know that the MFA (Multi Function Analyser\Indicator) or computer give out even more information than it seems. By using the following method you can get all sorts of extra information from those four little numbers in the middle of the dashboard.

     

    To engage the extra readings, put the key in the ignition and press down the MFA button on the stalk (you'll need two hands for this one). Now turn the key to position II, back to OFF, then back to position II. The readings will now be completely different to what they were. The tables below give details of what you should find in the two positions of the MFA.

     

    Please note these details are only for Corrados produced from 1988 to 1992.

     

    Cars manufactured after 1992 (93 models) will only show the Fuel Consumption, Outside Air Temperature and oil temperature.

     

    MFA switch, Position 1

     

    1 . Engine Map Code

     

    2 . Country Code

     

    3 . Speedo Drive Ratio

     

    4 . Upper RPM Limiter

     

    5 . Lower RPM Limiter

     

    6 . Deceleration fuel shutoff pressure

     

    7 . Segment Test

     

    MFA switch, Position 2

     

    1 . Test sum of programmed bytes

     

    2 . Intake manifold vacuum/pressure

     

    3 . Engine RPM

     

    4 . Momentary fuel consumption

     

    5 . Signal from Speed sensor

     

    6 . Oil temperature

     

    7 . Ambient temperature

    yeah black is hot but if you can stand it for the 2 weeks of hot weather we get a year then shouldnt be a problem,

     

    i say in a car no matter the colour or interior on a hot day your going to feel the heat

    only ac can sort that.

    Normally see at least 370. Does this indicate a sorted engine for my VR6?

     

    Thats not bad mate, im at 394miles now with about 2gallons to go

     

    Like Supercharged says its how you drive it

    But i reckon in the Vr6 you can chill most of the time as you dont have to work it hard but when you need the power theres plenty there

    I got my electric heated black leather recaro's from germany for £650 including complete electric & heated looms - Cost £75 for shipping but well worth it overall

     

    black is bad in this heat but mines in the garage so nice n cool when i take it out

    VR6 103500miles on clock

    this week run from coventry to stansted was getting 36mpg straight runs at 75-80mph

    get about 27-30 around town

     

    mfa definitly ok as im pulling over 400miles out of a full tank 60litres always now :)

    I had the ABF before the C -

     

    VW restricted the output (close to 170bhp) so they could sell the vr6 as most buyers would have bought the cheaper more economical 16v

     

    but an AmD remap sorts that which i had on mine - although you have rev it hard to hit peak power -

    i ran it to 160000miles really reliable engine & gearbox then sold the car in parts

    Hm.. I go up and down the A45 from the Holyhead Road down to the Warwick Science park every day.. surely i'll spot you at one point or another!!

     

    at the island then as im coming from other direction from the business park next to nec, start about 8.30 coming back from 5.30

    Finally, spotted C29BAD today - saw you driving up my road at about 5:50pm just as I was walking back from voting. Typical that I wasn't actually in my car!! :( Don't know if you drove all the way up my road and saw my Corrado parked up, or if you came onto my road from Donnington...

     

    Yeh Jim - coming back from work (from a45) then stopped at the texaco petrol station and cut through yours back to keresley

     

    im surprised we've never see each other before with me coming home from work everyday through or around you way

    Since i bought back in november 2003 i would say about close to £3k

    Tailights, Spoilers, Paintwork, Exhaust, ICE & Recaro Electric Heated Black Leather

     

    Major cost was a full service including new clutch / ebc dics&pads + fluid change

     

    But did save on Koni Coilovers & 17inch wheels taken from my Golf mk3 - just needed laser wheel alignment to setup right
