Ive just had my sump gasket replaced on my 2.0 16 valve, started it up and left it running for about 40 mins, it showed no signs of leaking anywhere, it is however leaking from where the oil filter housing bolts to the engine, has any one changed one & is it a hard job to do??

is there anything that i need to remove to get to the sump? ill be hopefully doing it on sunday.

Hi all just noticed there seems to be quite a bit of a oil leak on the sump of my 2.0 16 valve corrado, just wondering how easy are they to change? thanks

whats a shame?? the fact that i have to get rid or the fact that ive put it on ebay?? :lol:

ok so the clock needs setting :grin: can only see 1 corsa!! although there is 2 that live next door & the guy has a corsa van!!

Well spent all day outside fully machine polishing the corrado then a good hard wax & cleaned it up ready to get it on sale, It has made quite a difference to it.

my hand brake is struggling to hold my car, its had new rear discs and pads previously, im just wondering can i adjust the hand brake at all as when its on its pointinng towards the sky :?

Hi That is easy to fix. We dont really need this injector in the UK. Just disconnect the electrical connector to it. what will it do if i leave it disconnected?

what engine is it? my 2.0 16valve had simillar problems, But you had to hold the accelerator pedal down fully to start it & it would cut out when you let off the revs, got told it could be the idle controll valve, changed that & it was still the same, had the RAC come & look at it he unplugged the cold start sensor & it ran like a dream, the patroll man says the problem could be down to the temp sensor.

hi m8, cheers for your help, found the coolant temp sensor for £7.25 for a new one from GSF.

Had the RAC out & they say the cold start injector is wide open & that it might possibly be down to the coolant temp sensor??

well ive decided to ring the RAC to get them out to it tonight, hopefully they will get it going for me :grin: if not then i think it will be braking it time!!!

sorry i forgot to put on its the 2.0 16 valve

just been trying to figure out why my car wont run propperly and came across this pipe! it comes from the manifold at the rear of the engine (copper/brass pipe) then runs up to a bracket on the inlet manifold where it turns to a rubber one then nothing!! whats it for & where is it meant to be attatched to? at the moment its got a bolt in the end of it to block it off for some reason.

changed the idle valve this morning and checked all pipes were fully conected, now it wont even start, put the old valve back on and it starts but runs rough as ever, its really p*@@*ng me off now!!! :mad2: i did notice that at the back of the engine there is a brass/copper looking pipe that comes off the manifold and goes to the top of the engine just behind the inlet manifold, on mine it isnt connected to anything but has a bolt in it to blank it out :? what should it be attatched to??
