jay6668v 0 Posted June 10, 2013 Hey guys, been here for many years but never posted, thought it was time I should! Currently have a Corrado with a 24v 4mo engine fitted and working my way through some small issues. After more digging and help from billcor it would seem stan originally owned the car. Pics of how I picked it up. Cheers J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jay6668v 0 Posted June 11, 2013 Cheers Lee. Been a busy bee yesterday. ReFitted all red rears, 20mm rear spacers, my vw contours, stubby aerial, lowered the front about an inch, got rid of the carbon in the bay, not to my taste. Went for oem caps and battery cover. Poo iPhone picture for one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted June 11, 2013 Looks nice, is it running right yet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jay6668v 0 Posted June 11, 2013 Unfortunately not. I know I need a crank sensor and the blue temp sensor is disconnected. Hopefully that will fix it when I'm next off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted June 11, 2013 Unfortunately not. I know I need a crank sensor and the blue temp sensor is disconnected. Hopefully that will fix it when I'm next off. What part number is on the crank sensor? I might have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jay6668v 0 Posted November 10, 2013 Well a lot has gone on since I was last on. Mostly the car set it's self on fire due to a completely bodged engine loom. Full new loom, new fusebox, replacement ecu, alarm removed and she's back on the road! I'll let the pics do the talking. Yes that's a set of mk4 golf clocks. 2 sets of clocks ftw!

BILLCOR 1 Posted November 10, 2013 Jay, you've missed the one with the MK4 clocks still connected and stuffed up inside the dash :shocked!: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jay6668v 0 Posted November 10, 2013 So I have, how could I forget haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrahamU 5 Posted November 10, 2013 Jay, you've missed the one with the MK4 clocks still connected and stuffed up inside the dash :shocked!: That's how the experts used to suggest it was done so you didn't need to pay for immo removing. Looks like some nasty joins you had there, glad your getting it sorted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jay6668v 0 Posted December 22, 2013 After getting the car back from willy it still went into limp mode. He kindly took another look at it and found psi hadn't bothered to fit brake or clutch pedal switches, so it kept going into limp mode. William fired some switches in and wired them up. It's fecking awesome now, the love is back! Now that the car is finally running how it should of been, more mods can start! Bought some enkei's Now need to get my 312mm setup fitted!

Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted December 22, 2013 Lovely wheels mate! Threads like this must make sales for PSI very difficult! I wouldn't dream of going anywhere near them after seeing this, basic bodges and cowboys! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VW_OwneR_85 2 Posted January 18, 2014 good job in saving it buddy, when you say "limp mode" what exactly was happening? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jay6668v 0 Posted January 19, 2014 I'm down leith way dude. It had a second rev limit of 4,000rpm Also my seats were apparently damaged in transit. I've had to order different ones instead! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VW_OwneR_85 2 Posted January 20, 2014 It had a second rev limit of 4,000rpm ah ok , reason i ask is becuase last year {I have same engine as you} I was trying to trace a problem with mine which messed up my throttle pedal , basically my throttle pedal would just go dead, I thought maybe that's what you were experiencing in this limp mode, iv never had it on mine like you say, I was only limited to 4.5k when the vss wasn't connected up, I have since fitted brake and clutch switch and Im pretty sure that was the reason for my pedal going dead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jay6668v 0 Posted January 24, 2014 Strange, is yours working ok now? Still waiting on seats, first set were damaged in transit, origin interior now sold too so no driving for me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VW_OwneR_85 2 Posted January 24, 2014 yea engines 100% spot on in terms of electrics + running, going to be removing the engine some time this year for new clutch +timing chains and guides + new crank seal as theres a slight oil leak from the chain casing :( ,cool keep us posted on your progress :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
