Bora Bora 0 Posted October 22, 2004 Hi fella's, Had a quick browse around this site and its top notch! Having always bought German cars since the age of 17 (I am now 32).I have finally bought my first Corrado! Its a 94 2.0 16v in Candy White with 90k on the clock.Its in pretty good nick and just needs abit of TLC. I am on quite a tight budget at the moment having just bought the car for £3000. It had a bit of an oil leak and so I had new cooler seals and a sump gasket replaced.I have fitted a K & N panel filter.The car is completely standard but seems quite thirsty! Only get around 22 mpg round town! Is this the norm? I am thinking of getting a rolling road tune before spending any money elsewhere. Once I am happy that the car is running ok I would like De-badged grill Eyebrow spoiler Clear side repeaters Clear rear lights (not the Lexus style ones!) Where is the best place to buy these items? Look forward to your replies and using this site! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomB 0 Posted October 22, 2004 Welcome to the site man, and good on ya for getting a 'rado, you won't regret it (although your wallet might ;-)). I'm afraid that I can't help with any tech type enquiries, but all I will say is don't believe all the MFA tells you. My 2.0l 16v C used to return about 22mpg around town according to the MFA, yet on a mix of driving (Dual Carriageway, Town etc) I used to get about 400-450 miles out of a 15 gallon tank. Cheers, Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ben16v 0 Posted October 24, 2004 why do i know that plate in your avatar????? :?: :?: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bora Bora 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Not sure about the wheels, but everything on the car apart from the smoked side repeaters is original. So I suspect and hope that the wheels are standard 16v. Its even got the original carpet mats in very good condition! 8) Also suspect that the registration on the number plate actually exists Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corradophil 3 Posted October 27, 2004 I take it the mpg figure you give is from the mfa? Check for vacuum leaks on the small hoses at the back of the engine bay, they are near the right hand side of the inlet manifold and go through the bulk head. The hoses are roughly 6mm diameter and have a grey fabric brading around them. One small split will give a faulse reading in the MFA. Your car looks cool, you don't see many white ones around.
