rjenkins 0 Posted November 6, 2003 Well it's that time of year again (Winter) and my Corrado is taking a long time to fire up after a cold damp night. I have been advised that this could relating to an knackered distributor cap. Has anybody else had similiar problems as I don't really want to replace the HT Leads, spark plugs etc unless I need to.

Bally 0 Posted November 6, 2003 IMO it would help to replace the dizzy etc.. they were one of the first things we did when I got the car... :) I had the timming checked too, seems to be fine at 6.50am... :D (touch wood) :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lesarcsneil 0 Posted November 6, 2003 Start with the distributor cap, my 16v showed a similar problem in the winter. I also changed the battery for a bosch silver (cheap from German and Swedish) and the HT leads as it was still on the originals. neil Flash Red 16v (may have seen you on 1198?)
