Thats where my skills level started, there is always places to start and a Corrado is decent one! Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk -
Specialist Garage in Midlands? & Potential Engine Conversion help.
southerner88 replied to Samwain's topic in Engine Bay
Hi, Have a little look at my build thread, think from about page 5 it starts the R32 Conversion. My mate does engine conversions for a living, can sort you his number if you are interested? He helped me through the process of the conversion (along with others on here). The conversion itself is reasonably straight forward but quite pricey, the engine can set you back 1K to 1.5K on its own! There is plenty of great guys on here who are willing to help with advice etc if you choose to do the build yourself, I had plenty of really good help from here! I am so glad that I went R32, speed and soundtrack! -

Cant wait for this now, had a great day out today at fueled society harewood hillclimb and buzzing for the VW Festival weekend! Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk -
Thats what i was hoping...we unplugged 1 2 and 3 which didnt change the engine tone at all whilst running, then 4 5 and 6 did change it. Swapped the coil packs across from 4 5 and 6 into 1 2 and 3 and same problem. A mate is coming up later with a multi meter to check we are getting power up to the first 3 as the second 3 are fine. All spark plugs and coilpacks are working fine which i suppose is a good thing, but now i need to work out whats happening with the wiring! On the plus side, pretty much got her back together again! Also, what is the best way to bleed the coolant system? I am running waterless coolant and trying to get rid of all the air from the system Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

Well fingers crossed this is the fix dude! not long till VW now to get cars all sorted out Hoping to run mine up to temp tomorrow with the coolant prep fluid in, then if that all goes well, fill with coolant and see what happens, think I have a misfire so hopefully that will be a simple spark plug swap out...
