Hello there, could possibly be over fueling a little as black smoke is fuel, and blue smoke is normally oil. Could be the coolant temp switch is playing up and causing too much fuel to be injected, which can give the symptom you are talking of. Si

Oh right ok cool so it was a Corrado I saw then, only just court a glance of it and wasn't sure if it was or not. Nice one :thumbup: Cheers Si

I'm just watching the Bond film that's on TV now, called Tomorrow Never Dies, I think I saw a Corrado at 23mins 47sec, where Bond is driving his old Aston Martin, after leaving the Danish blond and on rout to see M. Well Bond is in his Aston on the left and in the background on the right I'm sure I saw a Corrado. Si

Hello Jon no worries mate. Have a read of this link, I'm sure I put up the part numbers. http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=84555&highlight=fuel+pipe Hope this helps Si

I've just bagged myself a diagnostic scanner, it's the VGATE VS450 scanner, it's purely for VW's and Audi's from 1990 to 2009, but says it may do newer models as well. I used it on my Corrado today as my ABS light came on, scanner said it was the O/S/F ABS sensor, so cleared the fault code and it's been ok so far, but may still have to purchase a new sensor, if it's on the way out. But anyway if anyone needs any help, in the Bournemouth / Hampshire area, I've now got a scanner, with both leads 16 pin OBD2 and 2x2 data link lead. The 2x2 lead only works with this scanner, if there's 4 wires connected to the black & white plugs, if there's only 3 wires connected it may not work on your vehicle. Si

Hello there, have a word with your local VW Dealer, as the two fuel pipes were available, back in 2012 and I think in 2013 One fuel pipe was £39.00 and the other was £45.00 There was a guy on Ebay, selling a batch of the £45.00 pipes. There's a company near me called, Thread & Pipe they are able to make, copies of any pipe, so may be have a look at companies, near you that might be able to help. Hope this helps Si

Prices below are from my local VW Main dealer For all Corrado's 16v's, G60, VR6 Rear stub axle bolts, part number is: N908-773-01 Cost is £0.68 + VAT per each 8 of these are fitted, 4 to each stub axle. These bolts are 10mm X 30mm long Washers for above bolts, part number is: 321-501-119A Cost is £0.35 + VAT per each 8 of are fitted, 4 to each stub axle bolt. For 2.0 16v (9A) but might fit 1.8 16v (KR) also. Exhaust manifold gaskets, part number is: 027-129-589A Cost is £12.70 + VAT per each. 4 of these are fitted between head and manifold, these gaskets are 2mm thick. I've tried so many of the thinner aftermarket gaskets, that are 1mm think these cheaper ones don't last 5 minutes, I know the OEM exhaust gaskets are quite expensive, but being 2mm think they normally last for years. Item below is from VW Heritage, found the item in their VW Classic Parts search page. For all UK Corrado's Rear number plate light unit, part number 535-943-105 Cost is £13.82 Plastic clear one piece lense with rubber seal and bulbs. Hope this helps Si

Saw a Dark maroon coloured VR6 going past Hurn Air Port near Bournemouth at about 7:35am, on Friday morning just gone, looked like a standard VR6 the guy driving was in his late 30s to early 40s, but didn't see me as he was braking hard for the traffic lights. Looked quite a nice car.
