New corrado owner Help needed problems at 65-70mph

[Bollo 0]

Hi all

 

first off i have just bought a corrado 2.0 16v from BIG ted

 

If you now him

 

it was the black 2.0 16v advertised on the for sale section

 

a few things that have gone wrong like the car needed x2 rear wheel bearings

 

just found out when i got home :x Big ted failed to point this out!!!

 

Also the poor car was in need of a serious OIL CHANGE

 

.....................................................................................................

The main Question i need to ask is ********

 

When travling along at 65-70mph at 3000rpm the car begins to gerk and kind of splutters, the rev counters bounces about and the car begins to lose power, give it a rev and it sorts it self out

 

this does worry me and again the last owner failed to point this out

 

after paying strong money for the car and feel a bit let down

 

any help or advice to solve the problem would be great

 

thanks bollo

Fuel filter?

 

Mate, had a similar experience with my latest C :(

 

Stick with it and get it sorted- it'll be worth it. Make a list of what needs doing, prioritise the important things and get them done- no need to do them all at the same time.

if its in need of an oil change it will prbably be in need of a good service. i'd start there to begin with. if your good with a spanner it can be done very cheaply.

Always good to have a car of this age serviced as soon as you get it just for peace of mind.

Thanks all

 

ok the car had an oil change today castrol gtx high mileage oil

 

the engine does sound smooth

 

i have a good friend in the motortrade and he did it.

 

 

thanks for the info on the fuel filter, i did have a little clue!!

 

but i wanted to ask all you guys first

 

because you all drive corrado's

 

i guess this needs to be changed asap

 

as it could lead to more probs

 

 

thank you

 

bollo

 

i do think its good to buy a car from a previous corrado forum owner

as it directs the new owner to the forum and a wealth of info

Fuel filter is a cheap, relatively easy job - think there's a how-to in the Wiki.

Easy job.
