2.016V 0 Posted December 16, 2013 I have a 2.0 16v abf engine fitted into my corrado, I noticed today when I was driving that in 2nd and 3rd if I hold it at 2500rpm or so the car starts juddering but as soon as I come out of that range it's runs just like normal. What could be causing this, any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bully 10 Posted December 16, 2013 i had this issue.. was engine mounts.. replaced them all, and it run smooth until i needed a new exhaust, also a good service oil, air filter, leads and plugs, distributor arm may need a clean. and also check your exhaust for any leaks.. other corrado owners may tell you the same its never just one thing with a corrado to make it run smooth.. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2.016V 0 Posted December 17, 2013 Ah that's brilliant thanks mate, thought it could have been the engine mounts, which ones did you get and where did you get them from? Will give it a good old service at the same time to make sure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted December 17, 2013 Does the abf use a MAF? Those sound like classic MAF failure syptoms too. I had it on my mk3 AGG and I sorted it with some electrical contact cleaner and a cotton bud. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bully 10 Posted December 17, 2013 Ive not hat trouble with maf but on a previous car i did and the loss of power was constant to check engine mounts get car on ramp and use a crowbar or strong screwdriver to see how much play is in your engine on each mount to determine which mounts have to be replaced Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2.016V 0 Posted December 17, 2013 Ah brilliant thanks mate.i will just replace all of them while I am at it.how many are there? as iv got an abf in there do I just need to get standard corrado ones? I don't know if it has a maf but will check if it does and give it a clean if so Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2.016V 0 Posted December 17, 2013 Yeah I have just checked, they don't have a maf, they use a map sensor instead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaos3oe 0 Posted December 17, 2013 check that the rotor arm is solid on the shaft, should be glued on iirc. Had this on a Golf, turned out the rotor was fluttering on the dizzy shaft at constant load. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2.016V 0 Posted December 17, 2013 Is the rotor arm the same as the distributor arm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2.016V 0 Posted December 17, 2013 Perfect thanks mate will take I look, stupid question but what do you mean by it is glued on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted December 17, 2013 The arm is held onto the rotor shaft with glue. They are literally a couple of quid so worth replacing regardless if you don't know when it was last done. As they are glued on, you may have to destroy the old one when removing it. Sometimes they can just pull off though. Take the dizzy cap off, and you'll see what is meant by it all.
