It connects directly to the lambda. The lambda cable runs up next to the downpipe (drivers side) and there should be a bracket that they sit in on the rear engine mount. They connect together at the bracket mate.

Agreed. Really helps sell with an MOT, as people will travel all over the UK for a Corrado - its a limited market as it is so its not worth limiting yourself to potential buyers in your relatively local area only. With an MOT they can turn up and drive the car away, rather than potentially spending hundreds on a flat bed or trailer.

Yep, I confirmed too (yet to pay though). Could you put me down for camping to please Phil.

I took a car for MOT with the wheels on the wrong side, don't worry Rob! I console myself that its because I rarely buy directional tyres! :iamwithstupid: I've also done this with the dash.......... Managed to figure it out after a few minutes though but it was a bit of a facepalm moment! :lol:

I wouldn't bother with a whole new one mate. Pretty sure you can buy the dash pots separately and you can get the tps, other than that its a hunk of metal, butterfly valve and a spring! Unless yours is obviously knackered then save yourself a few hundred quid!

I had a cam sensor fault on another VR6 which I had, and it showed on VCDS. The symptoms I had were real lack of power so the fact your car drives well and idle is normal when warm, suggests to me that its fine John.

I picked up a blue temp sensor today from TPS, pretty sure mine is good but worth a try. Black is just fan speed 3 and yellow was almost £40 and is for the dash gauge so didn't bother with those two. I'll see how I get on but not holding my breath. My TB was off about 2k ago with an engine clean and light refurbishment, so isn't gunked up or anything. Angle increase was also steady with throttle on VCDS although a little slow to react, but I imagine thats normal.

Ok I'll give it a try tomorrow, thanks John! :thumbleft:

How do you get to the test mode John? Not seen that and if I'm honest, I haven't been through too many of the functions.

I've seen that before....... I'm not sure either, it looks very well done from afar, but I think the front end looks a bit too bulbous with those headlights and the grille being such a narrow car.

Is it just the grub screw or the whole adjuster? May be worth contacting koni uk with the coilover model as lots of manufacturers can offer spare parts. I imagine you'd need to remove the whole assembly to replace it though.

Think that was aimed at me from jekel. I have vcds and monitored both from stone cold, and was getting the same temp (around 10 degrees iirc. The original one rose in temp on vcds in line with temp gauge on the dash so pretty sure its good.

Ha! Great name change Matt, love it! :lol:

I've got all three but planning to go back to stock on the gearbox mount. Its a little too hard for me as it increases cabin noise and vibration which I'm no longer happy to live with.

Now you're just being greedy!!! :lol:

Drivers door solenoid and around the rubber boot in the door jam.

Cheapest Bosch maf I've found is £128 with the correct part number for a Corrado, but I'm nipping down to see 'Harrier' Friday afternoon as he's kindly agreed to let me try his first, which may help avoid a needless extra expense.

Sold within the hour! Regardless of bodywork, thats an absolute steal!!!!!!!

What you thinking for the new daily Michael? Shame to let it go, but having two is just greedy anyway! :lol:

I find BMW cabins very bland indeed. We have a 118d M-Sport, and although it has a bit of silver trim, its very plastic fantastic. Its really well put together, but I just think they've been exactly the same for about 15 years now.

John, I'm having similar problems. I've got code 00533 09-00 adaptation limit surpassed from cold, but when I clear it when the car is warm, I get 10-00 not reached. I've tried 3 ISVs including the original and brand new (although £30 ebay jobby) with exact same symptoms. My car sometimes struggles to idle above 550rpm and seems as if it about to cut out, but other times it'll be idling at up to 1500 rpm. It goes up and down. When warm it idles around 1050 rpm and fluctuates a little. In addition to the ISV, I've checked all hoses and all were good, I connected a spare blue temp sensor, although VCDS shows the one fitted is rising as it should. My car was left in the garage for 10 months and was fine when left, but has been like this since. If I find the snag before you do I'll post it on here. I won't start another thread as this is very close to the problem I'm encountering. If you weren't aware, idle when warm should be 650-750 rpm.

Looks great Rob! You'll need some thinners or some sort of tar remover on the fuel tank, then a plastic dressing to get it back to the factory look. I do now have rear beam envy too! lol

Depends how confident you are with aftermarket parts Michael. When I had my mk3 GTI (AGG engine but essentially the same) I did the cambelt, and just bought a kit from ECP. It was a Contitech one iirc, and came with the tensioner and was pretty cheap. Definitely change the tensioner at the same time as the belt though.

Hi, interested in the MAF if its the 4 pin one and still available? Could you PM me a price posted if so please. Thanks, Sean.

I don't think Halfords supply Bosch ones anymore. I got a Yuasa one last time I had to change one there. 5 year guarantee so should last a while at least. I'd always use that guarantee and get a new one if it failed before time. Well over £100 each time is better in my pocket than these major companies who do well out of those that bin the receipt or do as you're doing and not bother. Its your choice and I'm not judging don't get me wrong! I'd just use the guarantee if I could.
