Corrado 2.0 16v metering head

[sidneydeane 0]

Hi all,

 

I have 1993 1.8 16v corrado which is driving me nuts. It has been had an idling problem for a little while now, cutting out when stationary.

 

The other week it decided it didn't wanna pick up revs in the lower rev range, felt like it was mis-firing and juddering, once it got to about 2500 revs it blasted off again!!??

 

The AA man came to have a look at it and found cylinder 1 full of oil and even after cleaning it out, was still doing the same thing, so had it towed to the garage.

 

After 2 hours diagnostics from "awesome gti" in Manchester I was told that it "possibly" requires a new metering head and then the mixtures need to be adjusted.

 

Firstly - I'm not a technical person and would like to know if anyone agrees/disagrees with the above diagnosis

 

Secondly - if yes to above - does anyone have a "metering head" for my car.

 

Thanks.

have moved this to engine bay so you get the answer to the first question first. if you need one afterwards then you can always do a post in the wanted section.

hope you get it sorted out.

it's not too difficult to do some basic tests yourself, see my injector flow and pattern test thread below:

here

that would pick up any fuel delivery problem to one cylinder.

 

if it really was oil in the cylinder then you have a more serious head/block related issue, has it had a compression test?

David,

 

I've just read that thread and I need to lie down!!!

 

The cars not had a compression test. I'm lost what do I do?

 

Thanks.
