  1. Hi, Are you measuring the boost pressure? You can do this via the MFA display - http://the-corrado.net/archive/index.php?t-5129.html
  2. Hi, I agree there is a specific part code for the G60 pump. However, others do fit. You'll notice that both hoses are flexible, allowing for a pump with a horizontal pipe to still work. I just fitted one from a M reg Corrado 8v to my G60, with no issues today. And quite a lot of the mk3 golf units fit as well (and they are easily found at the local scrappies). Do not over tension the belt, and bleed as stated before - res cap off,full lock to full lock. If that doesn't work, and all you have interfered with is the pump - then it's the pump. Enjoy.

  6. The fuel is shell v-power. So no, the fuel should be good. There is no obvious damage to the dizzy or hall sender. Although I do have a donor unit I will try. After setting the basic engine ignition timing to 6deg btdc (which is totally stable with the strobe), then re-connecting the blue coolant temp sensor there is no stable advance reading. This suggests to me that the signal from the ecu for firing point is all over the place or somehow the ignition map has changed to some random value. I'm quite puzzled by this. I know that the hall sender sends an engine speed signal to the ecu, so, would have thought that if the issue was related to that, this would be apparent at any setting. is that right? Any help would be really appreciated.

    Pinking

    Hi, my car (Corrado g60) has developed pinking over the last two weeks. I have a new blue coolant temp sensor and it's giving the correct output through the temp range. There is no fault in the wiring between the ecu and the blue coolant temp sensor I set the ignition timing to 6deg btdc as per the bentley manual I cannot get a stable advance reading when I re-connect the blue coolant temp sensor. The manual states the timing should advance by 20-30deg.... Using the Gunson advance timing strobe, I try this and the strobe just flashes intermittently, so it's not flashing every time the spark plug fires. And I have no idea what the ignition advance actually is. The car is pinking badly at idle and part throttle. The vac hose to the ecu is fine, with no leaks. the co pot is set at 550ohms. The car was running fine with no pinking just a few weeks ago, so clearly something has changed, but I'm not sure what. Can anyone help on what might be causing this? Thanks.

  9. Hello, Has anyone used the bartek rs3 chip. And, if so - is it any good? Cheers
  10. Hello. Does anyone know if this chip would affect ignition advance when setting up as per the corrado manual? with the coolant temp sensor connected the reading is supposed to be 20 -30deg. When I do it with this chip installed I can't get a stable advance reading.
  11. Hi, I have set the static timing bang on and followed the instruction in the corrado manual for the ignition timing - but when I let the car idle after setting the ignition timing it's pinking like crazy, and when i switch it off and try to re-start - it doesn't. Is this a blue coolant temp sensor issue? Thanks,

  15. Sometimes if the cambelt is overly tight it can induce some rather nasty noises.
