This stream auto-updates     

  1. Last week
  2. New day new issue You can see coolant flowing out at the top left of the radiator , thoughts , new radiator or new flange? Is this a big job on my VR6? Advice please
  3. It has a small translucent rubber on the end, wouldn’t take much to make it oe
  4. That looks a great piece of kit. Does it have a hole in the end to fit the original rubber? Great postage time too 👍
  5. Nice billet boot popper turned up today, From Autobahn autoworx (Only took 3 days)
  6. Earlier
  7. Well done, here’s to the next 300K!
  8. I had to pull over and get this one !
  9. i dont know who to contact anymore about issues i have tried toby several times but not had any reply - im kind of lost on how to get this place back to some kind of normal functionality
  10. Thanks guys, much appreciated. I have the Bentley manual and I also have a Haynes manual for the Passat which covers the 9A engine. If I could figure out how to navigate the version of ETKA I have, the exploded diagrams may have been of some use. Interesting that the diagram above says the sensor body on the 4 cylinders is black and has 4 terminals, when the sensor I have purchased is blue and only has 2 terminals. Going to keep digging , but thanks for the information so far. Dougie
  11. This is what Cressa is referring to: The definitive VR6 cooling guide - Engine Bay - The Corrado Forum. Most of it carries over to the 4-pot cars (radiator switch, fan controller and sensors) - just ignore the auxiliary electric pump. The blue sensor tells the ECU the temperature. If you can get to it, disconnect the housing and measure the resistance of the sensor with a meter. Cold values are larger resistances (250 Ohms) and warmer values approach zero Ohms. (If I remember it correctly!) Or if you have VCDS or such like - see what temperature the ECU believes it is. Looking further the 16v seems to have both sensors in one 4-pin sensor..
  12. True, gut it isn't much money and we get to see nice updates on your car 👌
  13. Apologies that I can't really help with having the 16v, but. Have you looked in the WIKI at cooling, as i recall that mentions the sensors. I think the best investment with any corrado is the Bentley manual. Some people have a pdf version floating around
  14. Apologies again for.cluttering up this thread, but I can't seem to post a new topic in engine. I'm looking for a sense check from someone as it's been driving me mad. Blue temp sensor. Firstly, am I correct in saying that my 2.0 16v 9a engine has a k-motronic fuel injection system.? Secondly, is the blue temp sensor located on the rear of the cylinder head and will require the inlet manifold to be removed to replace it? Thirdly, can anyone confirm that it is the blue temp sensor that sends the signal to the ecu for adjusting the mixture, and not the temp sensor on the side of the block (which on my car appears to be a white two pin connector with brown and white and lilac and white wires) Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Dox, did you ever sell your gearbox? saw you had one up for sale a while ago....

  16. Yeah it is a ball ache! - I was thinking of joining up, but if the sites been put out to pasture I'm not so sure.... tis a shame.
  17. The page numbers are an absolute ball ache. I think because it is impossible to navigate around the site, that is why it is so quiet. Real shame
  18. Still seems a bit hit and miss on the forum - is it just me or do page numbers not work correctly?
  19. Should be done by spring yes,need to sort fuelling for smaller charger pulley and pull ecu apart and fit dill plug/write map
  20. Thanks yes interior is getting there,holset/rotrexcharger,should make fairly decent power
  21. Welcome. That is a lovely looking interior, but I am jealous of what's bolted onto the side of the engine. I'm going to enjoy following this. Good luck
  22. Hi, I struggling with my G60, not running well. I will change the spark plugs. I have BERU from 2010 and they look too bad after a lot of issues and years. I got the ETKA ref. number: 101000006AF But which are, today, the spark plugs that should replace old ones? Can't find BOSCH (or at least at decent prices), and DENSO or NGK models dosn't fit the gaps as Bentley says (0.6 - 0.7mm). Is this so important that 2-3mm wide, can do to spark getting worse? https://www.denso-am.eu/catalog/part/IW20TT What about cheaper models? I'm in progress to keep running the engine, so I don't want to waste new expensive spark plugs. Thanks.
  23. Cheers, yes makes a bit of a change from standard,leather refurbed in house,have a workshop building custom stuff
  24. Good to see the progress you’re making, the trim makes a change from the standard fabric too. Have you had those rear seats re-trimmed, they look brand new? Keep up the great work, still on course for a springtime road test?
