help... over heating problems

I have had my G60 now for 17 years. it was parked for the past 10 years. since bringing her out again i have managed to change almost everything - every pump and pipes and most of the sensors. i have changed the water pump, new thermo, expansion Tank and cap and also changed the matrix along with all the pipes. Changed the blue sensor too.. car runs fine but my fan does not kick in until 110 on the dash and cools it down, however, my internal heater is blowing out cold air - WTF. i have change

Introduction to my Corrado VR6

I bought my '93 Corrado VR6 in May 2017 - with very little knowledge of the car and the engine.   After speaking to friends who have an interest in VW cars, I found out that the engine is not an original Corrado VR6 engine, it was out of a MK3 Golf. The engine bay has also been partially smoothed (badly) so there are things that are missing from the bay. I say badly because the air filter was behind the engine and above the exhaust manifolds.   [ATTACH=CONFIG]92959[/ATTACH]   Our assump

Another step forward - Powerflex front engine insert

Over the weekend I fitted a Powerflex front engine mount insert. Another transformation in driving. I recently heard a small clunk on acceleration and noticed a bit of engine movement so decided to go the Powerflex insert route for the grand sum of 41.00. I have done a big journey in the car and it feels so much nicer, tighter and no clunks. If you go this route note that my installation did not have the lower big washer that is suppose to hold the engine down. I had to temporarily reuse t

Juddering and loss of power

Alright folks. Having a bit of a problem. I bought a vr6 about 2 weeks ago and for the last 4 days roughly its been slightly juddering under load but only in low revs. Very slight judder when accelerating. Also when it gets to the high revs there's less power than normal and I can feel the car trying to slow down even with my foot to the floor and it doesn't pull or have near as much power as normal. Ive changed the oil and plugs and fuel filter and still no difference. Really need help guys. An

corrado 1.8 16v non start! no spark

Hi people. Having an issue with my valver. Has run perfect for the past two years. However the other day its started to judder and struggle to keep going and ended up kangerooing down the road. Once stopped the fuel pump became very noisey and almost cut out with the revs dropping. I have since changed the fuel pump and checked the lift pump in the tank. All the fuel lines have been cleanedto. The car started fine after repreplacement and ran perfect at idle. The original fault still exists.
