Gotta be the mystic blue IMO 8)

Was waiting at some traffic lights near the arndale centre in manchester and i get a tap on the window from a guy saying what i thought at the time was "do you want to buy a telly" i said no (i thought im not rolling down my window to make sure i heard right)! Any way parked up and walked down to the printworks to meet up with an ex (just mates now) and told the story to her and it became clear when the ex said he probably said "Are you selling" and it was at that point i remember him giving the car a good look over as he walked away! Was pleased to say the least and glad i gave the right answer NO! :lol:

That is sweet serious consideration when i sort mine out!

Yeah imagine that same MPG and spoke to eachother and both have a corrado that would have been mad!lol! Enjoy yourselves! 8)

Yeah me and my bro spoke to a black fella on there very helpful wasnt you by any chance??

Ive got a VR6 so not much help but replace as much as you can while your in there!

Got 30.9 on way to MPH birmingham and that was with a few stops (traffic)

dusnt it say on the side of the box anywhere??

V- power alll the way but is 1.06 near us worth it though was a bit sluggish when i first bought it last year now its been running on it for a year runs like a dream!

i know its 2 tonne but what centermetre wise can it lift??

Are the top and bottom rad hoses hot and the heater matrix pipe aswell when its up to running temp if not you've got a air lock somewhere!

Might pop along after work 2moz and check it out how far can it lift??

LMAO :lol: :lol:

Sneaky very sneaky good luck sorting it!

And remember theres no pressure to rush them out im in no rush atall !

Some people on here rate these two mate!!

And this in macclesfield http://www.audiolectrics.co.uk/

nope sensors just come straight out of the housing take out the old and put in a new! But kind of got robbed by the garage for a half hour job :shock: All sorted now though!

Mine looks like its the temp sensor (yellow one on the thermo housing) theyve ordered one and hopefully back to normal 2moz just glad it decided to die now and not this friday when i go to birmingham!

Brilliant will look forward to these next year! 8)

Mine used to leak from the thermo housing only when the engine had been off for about 2hrs yours is either the crack pipe or as you say the water pump!

Your problem sounds similar if not the same as mine!! All worked last week then all of a sudden no fans apart from the 3rd stage! Im going to take it to a garage near me monday and see if they can sort it!!

Mine warms up as normal then where it is supposed to kick in the fans nothing happens and it just then creeps up to and over 110 and coolant lamp starts flashing!

If the garage sort it ill let you know what it is! I would have a go myself but electrics aint my thing shorting wires and all that! To me it must be the thermoswitch or the fuses are each of the fuses for each of the fan stages??

Right no air lock as i thought! When i filled the coolant i filled from the top hose then once there was some in the coolant reservoir i filled from there! Top hose gets warm first then after bwt 10-15mins the bottom hose starts to warm up! So to me its either

1. the fuses for the fan

2. the thermoswitch

I used the same sensors when i changed the thermo housing as they where in good condition would this make any difference with them being the old ones and not new ones??

Think im going to ring a garage near to me on monday as i really cant be arsed checking this stuff myself electrics is something i know fook all about! Should i just ask them to check them two items above ??? And after last weeks pain in the arse changing the housing etc i think this time i need to pass the buck onto someone else!

if i have to replace the thermo switch on the radiator do i get a VW one (part number if anyone has one) or do i get a neuspeed one from awesome like this one! http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/store/product.php?xProd=5587&xSec=86

Cheers for the advice guys will have a look tomorrow bloody cars who'd have em lol! If its the fuses where can i get new ones??

is my themostat alright then with the top and bottom rad hoses being hot ?? Also how would an airlock stop the fans coming on??
