my oil light and pressure buzzer come on when my engine has warmed up and then goes over 2000 rpm. ive done a bit of research and found that this has to do with the 1.8 bar? not quite sure what this means? does any one know what i need to do next? cheers

its a 2 litre 16v. as yet not bought a new engine, found 1 thats done 125k miles. cheers for the reply, will keep it in mind

hey peeps, just started my first major project on my corrado...engine swap. been trawling the forum on tips and stuff bout how to do it (as i dont have a lot of experience) and so far its going well, so thanks for all the old posts. just figured i would ask- with the engine out is there anything that would be useful to do/look at/replace before i put the new 1 back in?

forgot to say- the fan works fine aswell

hi im relatively new to fixing cars but bought a corrado a few months ago because i looove the car and wanted to learn how to work on the engine. since then it has gone fairly well apart from my overheating problem. i have trawled the previous posts and not found much which directly relates to my problem so figured i would ask. the car works fine when its on clear roads but when i get into traffic the temperature creeps up over about 10 mins till the oil gets to about 114 with water constantly rising past 90, at which point i pull over and wait for it to cool down. (it does keep rising if i dont pull over.) i have had 2 split hoses since this started happening and so have changed them all. i also changed my radiator as i had one from a golf that i knew worked fine. unfortunately its still overheating in traffic which is beginning to annoy me. apart from the radiator and hose changes i have also flushed the system and made sure the water to coolant (got the right coolant aswell) levels are correct. any help would be good, but like i say im learning bout the engine so overly tech stuff i will struggle to follow
