These things are sent to try us. I have just stuck with the good old tilt and no slide for years now. Bought a moonroof many years ago that's still sitting in my shed!
Please keep us updated on the fabricated parts as it would be good to know for future.
However, update time.
Can I get a Corrado Forum collective "you're an idiot!" Please?
Turns out I wired up the connections to the lambda wrongly! Rechecked it, swapped them around to the correct positions and now it runs sweet as a nut!
Going to book it in for its mot now so fingers crosssd
You sorted it, so a great result

Thanks Dox, thankfully I only have four plugs to worry about 😉
It is only rough running when warm. If I unplug the water temp sensor it runs fine on the open circuit, when up at temp.
Have replaced water temp sensor and lambda sensor and it is still the same.
I am presuming now things like leads and rotor, dizzy cap etc are all good as it does run well and is more an ecu based issue (either ecu itself, or what the ecu controls on the basis of the lambda and temp readings)
Wondering if fifth injector is stuck open as unplugging it makes no difference when running rough as I suspect it is overfuelling not running lean.
It's a ballache!

Worth checking the WUR to see if that does shut off. I have an 8v mk2 kjetronic and club GTi has a wealth of info on there

Welcome back mate. I did see that car for sale and thought, What a beauty. A very special car indeed. Congratulations on your purchase of it, and coming back on here.
There can't be anything you would change on it, surely.
Enjoy your ownership of it.
And what's the Cars name?

Welcome OP. I'm "between" corrados, shall we say (sold one earlier this year, taking a break to try other stuff).
EVs, the misinformation gets everywhere from some, including a 90s Corrado forum 😄For the record I have 2 EVs as my dailys, both Tesla (oooohhhh Elon builds them all in his shed, how can you support such a person) and have taken one to the Scottish Hebrides, France and the other, with a smaller battery pack, I covered 600 miles in one day (due to a funeral) and it was no bother at all. Turns out I did need to stop for a wee on my journey. It only ever wants a 5-15 mins top up anyway on roadtrips. And it is dirt cheap and smoother and better driving than any modern diesel or small petrol car I have had in recent years. I can't say I have ever enjoyed the driving dynamics of a 2.0 TDI anyway, and let's be honest that is what most people are dailying.
Cmon matt, get a Corrado project and make it EV 😋

Hello everyone
My name is Emericrobbie and I'm a newcomer to this community. Just want to say hello to all of the members.
I'm late to the party, but welcome. How's the car ownership?
-
Well it's a nice weekend and I have no other work to do. Shifted the mk2 golf out the way and am out in Karmann.
Anyone else bothered with the hassle of getting out in the corrado? It is worth it still 😇

There cant be many Autos left on the roads as some have swapped them to manual. I think Hasan has an Auto, so it would be nice if he knew and commented. Have you looked to see if there Is there any info in the WIKI about this?
-
I tend to message Chris Lillfuzzer for any parts I need. I don't see him ever here anymore, but he is on Facebook CCGB.
I just don't do Facebook

Hopefully the insurance process will be smooth. You never know how good they are until this sort of thing happens.
Now you've had a few days to get your head round what happened, what are your Corrado plans now?

Thanks Philly-R6, the part number is 535 121 251E so i am thinking of going for this one https://www.auto-doc.ie/aks-dasis/1719649 , anyone think i shouldn't?
Looks fine, just check the measurements are good

Cheers Gents. Dox, I shall give that a wobble test as I need to get a rear tyre resealed anyway 👍

The good news is that she passed. I have advisories on rear wheel bearings, which is fine. Buy cheap-buy twice. When originally doing the car I could only afford cheap ones, and didn't know a better make. Just ordered some FAG ones, ready for when I have time.
Sadly, I only did 782 miles in a year. Probably because I have a mk2 GTI project in it's way. That I need to sell for someone else to finish. Hopefully I'm moving soon so it may make it easier to get to Karmann

Cressa,
Not about this topic, but another thing I messaged you about, can you check messages please.
Yes mate

I put a mk3 golf motor on mine. Straight swap and works perfectly. A nice option, but we'll done in sortiiy
-
honestly, i think so but the lack of contact does concern me
i think there are a couple of other moderators but im not sure how active they are - i was kind of hoping someone would post with some news tbh
I've emailed him on the only address I have for him, from a year ago. Here's hoping
-
That looks a great piece of kit. Does it have a hole in the end to fit the original rubber?
Great postage time too 👍

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
