  4. i would find it useful if someone could run thru everything thats needed if possible :) i understand where the interface is but is it a simple case of laptop, software & leads?
  5. oh right thanks, how do i tell if my vr has had them? :shrug:
  6. can i ask what you mean 'check its had the recalls etc?' pls
  7. Me too and sometimes i go the long way just so i can drive it that little bit longer :lol: .... possibly a sad thing to do. in no way is that sad, its sad not to have a nice car you enjoy driving :wink:[/quote:1tuh6jqc] ha ha ha i agree, not sad at all........ive been known to do a 10 mile round trip to go to the local shop down the road on many an occassion :lol:
  8. i think you have captured all the feelings many of us here share bring on the grins as the vr sings!!!!!
  9. indeed it needs a close eye.....in fact i think checking it is gona give me OCD lol
  10. new filter fitted - once i managed to get the damn plastic cowling off lol now dry as a bone - thanks to all who replied :)
  11. ha kinda what i thought :) new filter being collected 2day, fingers crossed all goes well
  12. thanks all, much appreciated :) do you think its worth changing the filter as well as the clips holding the pipes onto it? i have wiped the cylinder clean and no new residue has appeared & no other running problems are obvious thanks again
  13. please please please could someone help me with my VR6 i have a very tiny fuel leak & after many hours searching on here i can not find anything which relates to my issue......im hopeing someone on here may have had something similar or be experienced enough to help :) description is..... it is a wierd 1!! basically when u look under the offside rear and follow the pipe which looks like it comes from the fuel tank the pipe has an interchanger to connect to what i think is the fuel pump......can anyone tell me where the fuel pump is on a vr6 as i am guessing & some posts on here are saying it may be in the fuel tank and if so i dont know what the object is im reffering to? the leak seems to either be from the pipe wich connects to what i think is the fuel pump......its a cylindrical shape obect with an obvious in & out pipe & has a plastic cowling over it.....on underside of car close to offside back wheel? thing is that the pipe doesnt seem to be or feel degraded & i dont know if a C fuel pump [if thats what it is] can leak fuel when it still works? plus it doesnt show a leak when engine running but when its stopped & been sat there for say 15 mins there is a tiny bit of fuel collecting on the metal clip holding the pipe in to the object further to this if the car is left for a couple of hours there is no sign of the leak at all and the pipe is dry i will try to post a pic of the object i refer to but if anyone has any ideas i would be most grateful........all i keep thinking of is my poor baby going up in flames :( lol thanks in advance
  14. i dont think there is an 'easy' way.......its a slow & very gentle route needed it was very tense in my experience as im sure non of us want to harm paintwork lol i used a heat gun, monitoring the temp constantly & worked them off very slowly & this worked great on passenger side think i got a little overzealous on drivers side tho as managed to loose a very small flake of paint :( but the doors will need addressing as the strips leave laquer lines another 4 the to do list lol
  15. the 2 'irrelevant' points u make are definately some of the rewards we reap for keeping them alive & kicking!!!! :)
  16. it is a wierd 1!! the leak seems to either be from the pipe wich connect to what i think is the fuel pump......on underside of car close to offside back wheel thing is that the pipe doesnt seem or feel degraded & i dont know if a C fuel pump can leak fuel when it still works? plus it doesnt show a leak when engine running but when its stopped & been sat there for say 15 mins there is a tiny bit of fuel on the metal clip holding the pipe in most odd but i need to investigate
  17. just thought id share.... the joys of corrado ownership, i normally wouldnt mind....they are aging cars blah de blah.....but why is it she seems to let you down when u really need her :censored: set the scene: big chill ticket [f***in expensive too] - check boooze & food - check tent & etc etc - check everything ready 4 ealry off in the morning.....& fuel leak appearing from nowhere, WTF!!!!!!!!! traced to hose feeding fuel pump & looks easy job but no time to fix, WHY NOW grrrrrrr!!!! i hate plan B's cause they mean no VR :gag:
  18. arrived today, thank you muchly m80!!! im presuming its an insert, twist till locks then pull out motion lol
  19. inifnity, infinity, infinity!!!! from a decent sony head unit i run infinity kappa 693i 6*9s in a modified and re-covered factory parcel shelf (so as speakers not visible) with the kappa 52.91's in the front doors - the sound reproduction is simply awesome!!!! plus the power of them at all ranges means i can save boot space with a smaller 10" sub & tiny amp :) highly recommended to inifnity & beyond!!!!
  20. just a quick note to say a big thanks to zerocool!!! very rapid response and despatch - if it were ebay there would be 5 stars LOL
  21. hello could you put my name on 1 when you return pls :) let me know how to get payment to you thanks muchly
  22. my rev counter does a similar thing - ie engine is running fine & the rev counter needle just dies, then it bounces around for a while & at some point it gets normal life again however the speedo & all other dials etc remain fine i have wondered if it is a loose wiring connection somewhere behind the dash clocks, as it does sometimes relate with the odd harsh bump/pothole [bloody UK roads grrrrrrr], but ive not been brave enough to start pulling the dash out lol not sure if this helps but might give you an idea maybe :)
  23. big thanks to all have posted, its much appreciated :) general check of all hoses, gators, etc etc all done during 1st few wks of owning [& she had been MOT'd days before i picked her up] so a quick once over methinks serpentine belt too as noticed cracks the lead removal tool & deep sockets, coolant flushing & stuff i didnt know about but will investigate here, thanks the ignition leads were just a thought but i had 37mpg on the 12 mile journey home the other night so she seems to run nicely :D again, thanks 4 the advice & if others have more to share pls feel free its all good....when your sat in your C!!!
  24. thanks for the posts cazza & ben TBH im a bit dissapointed with the lack of helpful replies tho.....i thought this is what the forum was all about really?
