Thanks. Does anyone know if the ABS pump fuse needs to be pulled while bleeding the brakes?

Pump the pedal will remove this pressure then? on refitting of the pump do I need to bleed the brakes in any special order? does the abs pump need to have the fuse pulled to stop it working during bleeding? Thanks

Got a replacement ABS pump thanks to dazfx, is it a straight forward swap with the existing unit, is there anything special I need to do or do I just undo the inlet and 4 outlet pipes and bleed afterwards? Is bleeding the brakes straight forward, what order should they be bled in? Can anyone help on this. Thanks.

I use Zymol, start with the Lehm clay it's the best thing ever for smoothing the paint prior to polishing. It's expensive but in my opinion worth every penny.

I'd say don't do it. We had an old clio 1.8 16V which we sold and bought a denim blue S3 which was fantastic after a year we changed it for a 225 bhp TT but eventually leg room became a bit tight for my daughter so we exchanged it for a clio 172 for my wife and with the remaining money I was going to buy a Corrado. The 172 looks nice but we had nothing but trouble with the electrics. Compared to the audi's it was rattly and felt cheap. The plus side was the acceleration, it was chipped I think because it was faster then the S3 and TT!! Stick with a German car! we sold the clio after 6 months and bought an Audi A4 1.9 TDI Sport.

Hi, Does anybody in the Hull area have the VAG Com for a '95 2.0 16V. I need to check faults with the ABS. Thanks Chris

Hi, My 2.0L 16V starts fine but does not run very well cold at all. It seams as though the mixture is all wrong when cold, you have to use more accelerator then normal until it warms up. It has just been serviced with new leads, plugs, air filter. It's not the end of the world but would like to try and sort it out. Thanks

What should the resistance be on a healthy sensor?

What should the reading be accross the sensors?

I don't have the codes, I will ask the garage for them. In the meantime I put my meteron ohms and tested the sensors last night and got approx 8 for the rears, 7 for NS front and 1.04 for OS front. I also disconnected the wiring to the top part of the pump (4 wires to the plug, a large brown and a large red & blue plus two small wires) and started the car, I was only reading 1.02Volts, is this correct?

I have been advised that the ABS pump may be faulty, before buying one how do I check if it's o.k and confirm its getting power? Does it run constantly when the ungine is running i.e check for voltage? Where are the relays to check? How would I know if the ECU was faulty not the pump? Can anyone help on this please?

Mine was only working on No 4 and soldering a new fuse has worked. Have you put a tester over the thermal fuse to check it is in tact? Also put the tester on the plug which connects to the motor assy and check you get a voltage on each colured wire as you turn the fan speed dial.

My heater blower was only working on speed 4, I have changed the thermal fuse and it is now running on speeds 1 to 3 only. What's happened to speed 4?

Cheers for the replies. The gauge seems to move quite a lot (1 full segment on the gauge usually) even when the needle is above half, this can't be normal surely?

The fuel gauge on my 95 Corrado seems a little unsteady, it seems to drop under acceleration then steadys off when stopped. Has anyone else had this?

Does anybody know where I can get 2 new plastic strips for the roof of my Corrado, they're the ones at the either side where a roof rack would fit (No I don't want to fit a roof rack!!) The rubber inserts have perished a little bit.

Thanks, The cars a 95.

Does anybody know what speed the boot spoiler raises on the Corrado?

Hi all, I am new to the site wanted to get some opinions. I am looking to buy a vr6 storm, it has high mileage +120K but full service history. Excellent condition but seats need a good clean. What price should I be paying for this any ideas?
