  1. I think you're meant to use a bar between the Alt and bracket on the engine
  2. Plugs are wrong, they should be Bosch W6 DPO as standard. It sounds like a faulty ECU or Lambda probe / wiring (near the rear engine mount bracket)... Digifant ECU's fail when bad engine earths cause the ECU to become the shortest route - then blows the injector drivers
  3. IE8 is the most unreliable browser ever produced... that said try clearing the cache and also update Java but chrome is the way forward!
  4. Well I do actually... ham on it's own is very bland, a nice layer of cheese and maybe a bit of chutney makes all the difference... maybe a bit of fresh basil too!
  5. MK4's are generally pretty damn reliable although the PD TDI's can be costly to repair... In terms of known faults it's ECU relay (109), clutch pedal breaking (part is £20 and improved over the original) and electric window regs (were warranted for 7 years becuase of the issue / £50 each now)
  6. What's up with it? admittedly some of the ratings are low and don't really match what's written but otherwise it's fairly thorough and unsuprising... Factually, the Scirocco was produced by Karmann along side the Corrado until 1993 but may have been deleted from the US range in 88? It's mostly positive about the interior and roominess, build quality, looks, handling, steering, ride comfort and braking... All the usual stuff like long 1st / 2nd gearing hampering 0-60 times and crunchy gear throw, chassis / road noise, too expensive etc are all criticised.
  7. I'd be careful with GSF ones - some parts they sell are shocking quality... New MC's from VW are alloy rather than cast, go for a new one rather than refurbed http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1672
  8. Lots of info if you search on here... New pipe is available in roll form from VW but difficult to bend without the correct tool hence lots of people use copper / Kunifer pipe
  9. Shocking - just make sure you're back in a better position to what you started, I would expect a full refund of what you paid that day too.
  10. Welcome to the forum and good username! The gearbox code is actually on a plate at the top near the shift tower - what car is it from though as all Corrado's used 02A not 020... ECU doesn't need the signal but the clocks do so you will need mechanical clocks - assume this is the reason you want to change it??
  11. Why not just use the red one as a daily - maybe fit standard springs back on it for comfort! Should be reliable really - had so much done to it that car that regardless of mileage it should be good as a daily
  12. Try and have a look before you take it in mate, if it drove ok for those few miles it's likely that they just didn't do the tensioner up properly
  13. Ah from Google... That's an old link - try searching within the forum itself Andi - ---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ---------- http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?34576-Front-ABS-Sensor-Replacement&highlight=front+abs+sensor+replacement
  14. Test ---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ---------- Hmmm, still working ok for me, the test post was quick reply and this is a full one ---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 AM ---------- Scrap that, the reply to thread button doesn't work now
  15. Hmmm, I'm actually only on 4.3 so will update mine this morning and see if it breaks!
  16. Hmmm my iPad1's working fine Pete... Is your IOS up to date? Maybe try clearing the cache in Safari
  17. It must be the 22.2mm one with 4 outlets - MK3 ones usually only have 2 Best off buying a new one
  18. Just a heads up for anyone with a Toad Alarm who needs a new fob case... This guy, MotorgaurdUK is selling the newer style black plastic ones with new rubbers - works out at £10 each after p&p http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290520665134&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_643wt_905
  19. What sort of car do you have?? On the VR6 there is a Cam sensor (on non dizzy models) , a crank sensor (known as the Vehicle Speed Sensor) and one on the gearbox that feeds the speedo.
  20. Compressed air and a block of wood... New calipers are cheap though -GPC were selling a pair of new ones for £50 on eBay (no exchange!)
  21. Nice cab is it a genuine Karmann made in Wolfsburger?, shame about the patch panel...
