thanks mate.

if it dont mabey i could put in a timed relay to break the fan positive after a set time controled by the ignition

nice 1 for the help

im not that adv with electrics! 8)

i hope it sort its out........i hate wen you don't no wat the previous owner has done.

sweet.....good to see hard work....nice sliver rado too

hi,there should b a fan switch there........it turns on after ignition is off to cool the engine down...its probably touching the body and shorting hence it keep running or having broken off its saying ur engine it hot so it turns on, but there ain't no feedback to say "OK time to turn off" lol

sure there not expensive or theres a few 16v's breaking on here

cheers bob

interesting, u sure its ur fan? check the fan switch near the oil cap on the rocker cover....there should be a thin black wire going to it, make sure its connected and not shorting to the body, if it does the fan runs .

where the rectangle frame meets the inner arch , ive simple chopped abit away so it fits perfectly like the old box...i also put abit of fabric Velcro (the fussy side) on the corner to stop it rubbing through on the body...guess its down to preference really.

anyone know a good air brush company/person in birmingham or close to?

bob

i know how frustrating it gets, i got disconnect my sub, pull out my stereo, then check all fuses, then pulled them out one at a time whilst check power drain, the pulled the central locking system apart, then my pass elec window stop working, so had the door panel off.......then check all the switches and heat panel (converted to LED's), then took it to the alarm place to check that....turns out the alternators not charging, hence the back up battery in the alarm dying causing the central locking to play up.

If had the alternator refurbed, but aint put it back together yet "rain", im just happy i got another car to drive around at the moment.

:brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall:

bob

have you got central locking of the alarm fob? .....if so try this, arm the alarm and then listen near the boot of the car if the pump is still going.......ive recently started to notice this with my car. i think it might be a faulty door pump.

i got a drain at the moment with mine, turn out to be the alternator....try check the voltage with the car running, see it drops.....if the volts go up then alternator is ok.

my dropped so the car was basically running on battery power and not charging on load plus lights, ICE etc....hence it dying within 2days use!.

see how u get on.

bob

ive got a piper panel filter/airbox on mine, im not sure if it gains any power, but sounds better...... 8)

fuck it, im fed up too....any1 want mine (corrado) - read the title of the post!

Finally got round to reading this thread! Wow! It's great to see the pictures. Such an overwelmingly impressive amount of work in such a short space of time! Hats off to you she looks amazing! Love all the attention to detail, such as detail cleaning and spraying inside the arches. I am SO envious!

neil VR6 thinks - Corrados were make in Osnabruck.......but your saying Karmann ..... :confused4:

 

anyway, thank you

 

Karmann made the corrado in their factory in the town of Osnabruk.

 

:)

great stuff.......any circle karmann or osnabruk badges? lol.......i guess this is the one thing i learned all day...awesome :clap:

brilliant work only spoiled by 2 little things IMHO

 

1)Wolfsburg badge on a Corrado :scratch:

 

2)Porsche caps on a VW wearing non-Porsche wheels :shrug:

 

 

cant please everyone....wheels will be changed soon...

 

I don't think it's that vr6storm doesn't like the badge, it's that they were built at Karmann not Wolfsburg :)
