g0ldf1ng3r replied to g0ldf1ng3r's topic in Engine Bay
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 -
HELP - fuel leak from rear und & searching not helping......
g0ldf1ng3r posted a topic in Engine Bay
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 -

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

why does it happen when u really need her......

g0ldf1ng3r replied to g0ldf1ng3r's topic in General Car Chat
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 -
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:

g0ldf1ng3r replied to zerocool's topic in Suppliers Forum
hello could you put my name on 1 when you return pls :) let me know how to get payment to you thanks muchly -
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 :)
