1991corrado

Thanks for the Info dragon green, gonna have a look at removing that adaptor. If not i'll bite the bullet and get another boss. Thanks again Polskisklep - No need for the comment!

Hello, Just purcahsed a Momo snap off steering wheel from Ebay, it comes complete with boss. Just released its from a MK1 Golf. Does anybody know if this will fit a Corrado? :shrug: Cheers Mark

Got the car on a ramp in my dinner hour, one of the techs had a listen and thought it might be cam chai. He ran the car up to temp, put in some engine flush and then drianed the oil, brand new oil and filter. Took the car for a run and it is sweet as a nut. Better performance, better fuel economy and no rattles. Good times. Thanks for the help offhisrocker. Cheers Mark

I dont think i got a dud, its been fine. Drove it to work this morning and took it to 4 rpm in 4th, no rattle what so ever, i can only pressume its bottom end as my last engine had new head gasket up, replaced everything, valves, timing belt, all gaskets the whole lot, then 4 weeks later bang, so i can only relate it to that. The engine i have put in has only done 95,000, runs sweet. Maybe i miss heard the noise with all the road noise and rain. Only happens when under load around 4000RPM. I'll try it again tonight. Cheers

Hello once again, has anybody had or has heard of KR 1.8 16v engines rattling from the bottom end around 4000rpms? I had the same issue with my old engine which eventually gave up. It sounds like oil starvation, also sounds like the shells are rattling. Do these engines have any known bottom end issues? Oil pump problems etc. If the engine goes again that's me and corrados finished and I really really don't want that to happen. Please any help would bf appriciated! Maybe even a corrado specialist based near Manchester. Thanks again

Do the wipers need to be from a Lupo GTi or can they be from a standard Lupo Cheers Mark

How much are the TT ones? Cheers

Just phoned TPS (Trade Part Specialists) quoting the part number listed on a few different posts on here, they have now told me its gone to multiple supersession. Its now £37 + VAT per arm and then the blades are now separate! Is this right? Cheers

Hello, Does anybody know if 15'' x6'', 4x130 4 stud beetle wheels would bolt straight onto a corrado with or without modifaction? Cheers

ARGH!!!! Spoke far to soon. Driving to work this morning, no frickin indicators again and car decided while i was driving along to immobilize itself, luckily it didnt stop on me. I think there is an issue with the toad alarm fitted, i have been told to chase the wires up to where they join the indicator wires in the column and cut them. Hopefully that well fix the problem, if not any other sugestions? Cheers

Relay stank when i took it out, non gen replacement £13. Both hazards and indicators now working. Next job...

From what i can tell the hazards are controlled by the same relay but different fuses. After reading a few old threads, i seen other people have had similiar issues as me and 5 out of 10 have been relay but the rest have been alarm related. I have noticed that my alarm is showing as immobilized as im driving, also sometimes the light (for the alarm) will flick on and off. could this still be a relay fault? Cheers

Hello again, I fitted my stereo to rado yesterday and everything went well, new speakers wires etc. Took the beast for a run today and found i now have no indicators, Great!!. Checked the fuse as it has blown before, fuse fine. Checked the hazards which i know are on a separate fuse and they are not working either. Where do i go next, as i'm very confused? Could i have done something while fitting the stereo or do the hazards and indicators have the same relay? HELP HELP HELP. Mark :confused4:

Mimjed, i will see if i can upload a pic today, I clamped off the top and bottom of the hoses going to both valves (using long nose mole grips and rags to stop the teeth damaging the pipe) popped round to me dads house and used 22mm copper pipe, one cut down to 5inches (i think) and the other one about 4inches. Left the cap off the header tank ran it up and topped up coolant, the heater is working a treat, funny feeling the matrix will be next though, very very very slight steam up occasionally. Cheers Mark

Valves removed and copper pipe fitted, its boiling hot now inside the car. BRILLIANT!! Next job find out why the bloody temp gauge is not working. Thanks again David Mark
