rayb74 0 Posted February 27, 2006 My valver Starts fine but when cold it stutters and judders at low revs whilst driving .All is fine as soon as it is warmed up . Is this over fuelling as my car tends to drink a lot of juice aswell. Any pointers as to what it may be? And yes I have used the search ..........

h100vw 0 Posted February 28, 2006 1800 or 2 litre? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted February 28, 2006 2.0 according to the thread title. What do you call a lot of juice? My 1.8 16v barely tops 30mpg and it's running fine. I call THAT a lot of juice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy83 0 Posted February 28, 2006 check water temp sensor on head. Worked for me! I had similar symptoms too...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Good call. It's a common fault, can be tested before you take the leap to buy a new one, and only costs about £23 from VW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayb74 0 Posted February 28, 2006 I get about 280 out of a tank with mainly motorway miles ! jimmy83 said: check water temp sensor on head. Worked for me! I had similar symptoms too...... Is this the sensor with one wire or the four wire one ? P.S. 2 litre Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy83 0 Posted February 28, 2006 yeah, mines a 2.0 too, give me a minute, and i'll go outside and check the wires! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy83 0 Posted February 28, 2006 actually, mine's got two wires? its a white plug. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy83 0 Posted February 28, 2006 i''ll try and sort a picture...I think someone posted a pic not so long ago on this very same subject..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy83 0 Posted February 28, 2006 here we go....the one I changed was the ecu temp sensor... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Yep, that was the pic I posted multiple times recently. 280 miles per tank isn't far off for a 12 gallon tank, but yours should have the 15 gallon tank. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy83 0 Posted February 28, 2006 seems to be a common problem on the 16v's! wish i'd got a g60 now (or do I.....?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted February 28, 2006 I don't believe that the temp. switch could affect the fuel consumption to that degree though. Heavy fuel consumption is usually related to a dodgy Lambda probe or wiring, but that also (usually) results in poor running when warm. jimmy83 said: seems to be a common problem on the 16v's! wish i'd got a g60 now (or do I.....?) The 1.8 16v is the only Corrado I'd own as it's the simplest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayb74 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Thx for info Jimmy !! :wink: I will change this sensor as a matter of course. bcstudent I have recently replaced leads, lambda, fuel&oil filter, dizzy cap,air filter, and none has made any difference. It is so annoying when you don`t know what it is.... aaaaaarrg The car runs really well if anything a bit faster and pulls better early on in the rev range. It may be timing or fuel delivery valve or injector related or something beyond my means to investigate........ I think I might have to book it into Stealth for a health check-up. P.S. Yes it is 15 gallon tank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy83 0 Posted February 28, 2006 No worries M8! Actually, it was vince at stealth that identified that the sensor was playing up when my car went in for a service, just plugged the good old VAG-COM in! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
