jazzdevil 0 Posted February 19, 2006 Since the New Year my C has finally begun to advertise it's flaws... first the ABS light decided that it would only go out at 2 of every 3 starts. as of last weekend that's become 1 of every 3.. today the high-speed wipe has failed me in crappy traffic spray in the outside lane of the M3... and as of an hour ago the blower on the heater only works on the highest setting. oil, grease, bearings and mucky mechanicals i can understand.... but when it comes to electrics i'm as useful as a solar powered torch. does this sound symptomatic of something major to anyone - or just co-incidence?

VR6 0 Posted February 19, 2006 ABS - sounds like perhaps a dirty sensor. Wiper could be due to the relay. Blower - something about a thermopack/resistor or clean the metal contacts. it's been covered to death already though :) Just have a search. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted February 19, 2006 ABS related problems are common,so get it plugged into Vag Com,Items like wipers and fan blowers get used most of the cars life in the UK ,so expect high wear. The Heater motor on speed fan will just be the resistor that has popped. As for the wipers check contacts on the stalk,not to sure why its stopped on high speed. Its a Corrado.... :wink: #Edit VR6 Got there first.... :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jazzdevil 0 Posted February 22, 2006 cool, thanks guys! i've run older cars (Mk1 GTi for example) so used to the wear... still must be in my 'Rado honeymoon period though as these little glitches seem so irrelevant when it means you can fire up a VR every morning 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
