    wilwood calipers

    so I folded and got discs and pads from rally design for a small fortune. tried to fit them realised there are two bolts on the caliper 16mm & 19mm I think sitting too close together. anyone know what socket i.e. thin walls size I should use as car is being put up for sale on sunday.

    wilwood calipers

    the guy I spoke to at rally design said I had a mk 1/mk2 set ref 17c he said that for 310mm discs it was 79 for one and 55 for pds any one know if you can get them cheaper anywhere else.

    wilwood calipers

    these brakes are becoming a mare wt gud is stopping power if you cant change them thanks for your reply. I will keep trying and c what comes of it
  7. I have a ser of 4 pots on my 16v 93, does anyone know where the part number is on the caliper as I cant seem to find it on there all I could find was a number that read 17c but I have been told its a a number startin with 12...... any help would be appreciated I need new discs and 310mm pads but I cant get them until I have the part number
  8. thanks guys it mite be my fuse box cover as i changed it. again thanks for the input
  9. ii have found out that the wilwood 4 pot calipers set up with 310mm brakes any one hve an idea where i can get replacement pads. if you havnt guessed im new to the world of corrados
  10. thanks for the comments guys. i havent had the lower dash off i thought that but its not the case any other ideas i was thinkin it could be a matter of repacing te pedal itself. on a side note the breaks seem to be vibrating when applied. i was thinking replace the pads and see what happens but wilwood pads arent cheap ;) any ideas would be appreciated also
  11. I have a 2.0 l 16 v rado 1993 it appears that my accelerator pedal seems to b sticking after a slight push and when you take your foot off it kicks back up. any ideas anyone? also my breaks seem to be making a grinding noise when i first use them in the mornings it may be that the pads need a change i have a wilwood 4 pot setup. i dont need amazing stoping power any idea of a good pad to use? thanks i advance.
  12. So i have finally solved the problem :clap: it was a wiring loom problem, it was missing to live connections from the metering head to the ECU. I have had the wiring loom replaced. on my travels in repairing the idle problem I also found that the engine was guzzling oil like an alcoholic. i found the head gasket was on its way out had the engine replaced by this real cool guy in brum. He fabricated a custom exhaust for me and now she purrs like a cat. loving it. thanks for all you comments.
  13. the throttle body off the donor didnt do it but it cud be cos its off an older 16 v the guy who owns the donor car has a throttle body feom a later model thati want to try first that he needs to find if this doesnt do it on to the more expensive job i.e lamba sensor. thanks again for all ur input
  14. so iv been gone a while trying to find the fault my mate found a working 2.0l 16v and switched some parts over he switched the i s v valve,ecu no joy then changed the metering head and injectors no luck. the big rubber boot had got split in changed that made it better but still got the problem the throttle body needs changing but im begining to think that its lamba related and just to change the sensor and take it from there. i changed the gaskets on the inlet but still no luck but there is a slight blow coming from the inlet mani its an aftermarket one fitted by awesomegti. any ideas cos im all out of them? thanks lads
  15. so the fifth injector thing didnt work, but i have a day off wednesday im guna meet up with a mate and try and locate the problem, will post again on wednesday
  16. i havent located the microswitch. havent had a chance really is it in the actuall tb or on the out side by the accelerator cable? also i havent looked at the fifth injector but will do that tonight once im done working. thanks again for your comments
  17. does anyone know if this hunting can cause the car to run rich. i filled up 30quid and the car has dun 130 miles and i need to fill it up again. thats 22mpg.
  18. thanks for the advice lads i will look into the suggestions as soon as i get a chance i have some videos of the idle but it wont let me any ideas what format they have to be in. just so you know i tried the accelerator pedal thing that was suggested that hasnt worked. i have also changed the inlet manifolds but no luck.
  19. I have a 94 2.0l 16v - i bought it from a guy who assured me it was a slight idle problem. i have always wanted a rado having driven GTI's and i think the adrenaline got the better of me, anyway to cut a long story short i bought it with the problem thinking i will be able to fix it but as the days turn into weeks and weeks to months i am beginning to loose patience :censored: and just want to get shot of it cos the wife keeps chewing my ear off about spending money on a car. I have seen plenty of threads on here that mention this problem. i have checked the hoses for air leaks cleaned the throttle body the ISV looks a few months old and changed the temp sensor. when i bought it, she was hunting/kangeroing but now it has started to rev between 1000-15000. i cant seem to locate the problem and any help would be appreciative. it also appears to be burning more fuel could that be because it is idling higher then it should?? i am based in Birmingham if anyone local can also help. i have enlisted the help of my trusted mate who works on volkswagen's but we seem to have hit a giant idling wall. imran
  20. your a legend mate got the same prob on my 16v might give it a try
  21. pardon me for sounding stupid but can that cause tappin/rattling
  22. pardon me for sounding stupid but can that cause tappin/rattling
  23. i have a 94 16v which is idling weirdly to say the least. i bought it with a slight idle prob but now its getting worse at the same time there is a blowing sound coming from near the inlet manifolds i have all four gaskets changed but still no luck. there is also a small ratling sound until the car gets in its high revs. i have been told it can be the tappets. anyone had a similar prob or know what can be causing it. any help will be largely appreciated. imran
  24. i am buying a 2.0 16v c this weekend has a standrd alarm system but my stupid insurance comp need a security cert to insure against theft. any recommended alarms and recommended fitters im in the birmungham area thanks
