Good luck mistrall, hope you manage to get it sorted - and never lose faith or you'll end up driving a Volvo or something! :lol:

 

Thanks dude, my back up car is a volvo '85 740 GLE station wagon with 315000 miles on it, its a sweet ride and it just keeps going too.

 

mistrall, think about replacing the Dizzy, hall sender could be bad causing retardation of engine, at max retardation of 12 or 16 degrees, cant remember which, and running it for many miles the engine will get hot quicker than you can blink and the manifold will surely glow. I just recently found this out myself, I have a G60 so my manifold tends to slightly glow normally but once it gets red, worry. I am about to replace my dizzy and we will see what happens, PS why couldnt VW make good bolts? and why do you people in the UK call Banjo's the stringed instrument Banto's?

wonderful its so sad when people think they have to sell their corrado, I tell them not too. got to love timing, I am about to pay about 1000 US for my car to be fixed, its wonderful.

$1000 US is only about enough to buy a bacon sandwich in Leicester square now, mate, you should consider yourself lucky! When you've had a total bill for £2k+ you know you're in pain... ;-(

Work just finished on mine has totalled over £2700 - that really hurts but will be worth it once I'm back behind the wheel... it's been over a year since I've enjoyed her properly!

[Supercharged 2]

Nice one Mistral! - Glad you got it sorted!

2700 pounds, you have to be insane to spend 5000 US on fixing your corrado, what was wrong with it that cost that much? blown motor?
