    Glad to see you back on the road and don't see many at 100k "on the nose" Are you planning coming to any of the VR6OC events?

    Hi Pete! Welcome to the club!! Don't panic just yet, it could be something as an air lock.... I had horrific issues with my corrado boiling over and out the header tank when I did an overhaul. Are you getting hot air from your heater vents? The only reliable way of checking if its head gasket is to do a sniffer test that detects exhaust gasses in your coolent system, can be obtained cheaply and will give you an indication of what's going on... If your engine has done 80k+ then I'd recommend valve guides and seals, you'd have to get the guides ground in etc... If you've not done timing chains,

    Hi mate, don't think you will get any benefit from doing it to be honest mate If its working, don't fix it as they say!

    Hiya, and welcome to the forum It could be as simple as the immobilizer, sounds suspect..... If you have VCDS / VAG-COM you can easily confirm this by checking your DTC's, and see if there is a fault code stating "Engine Blocked by immobilizer" If it is, then that could be your problem. the imob box / chip and ECU should be matched, and there is a transponder that sits on your ignition barrel. Its probably easier to have it deleted from the ECU, its about 80 quid and can be done by Stealth Racing or United Motorsport. Also worth posting the ECU number too and we can tell you if it has the

    This might be a little too close to our national day at brook lands museum which is taking part on the 26th October... From a recent survey i performed on here, seems majority of people are still feeling the pinch to attend as many events as they'd have liked to this year

    Hi mate, yep stage one is 98 degrees, so say that's normal. My last mk3 the needle hardly moved from 90 on the gauges if everything is in tip top conditions. Fans ran usually when in traffic, my corrado runs hotter than my golf though! What temps you getting on an average run now you've replaced thermo switch?

    Good effort everyone, over the two days we will have 16 different cars on our club display, so even if you are not on our stand, please come over and say hello and check out our cars !! As mentioned I won't be there on the Saturday (booooooooo) but I've sent flyers in everyone's envelope with your club pass, so if you all could be so kind to display these on your car so other people can grab them, read info in the club and our national event at Brooklands! With regards to the banner, Dlea (Dave Lea) will bring the banner over to the stand on Saturday morning, so anyone on the club display on S

    Always good when you see replies like "what are throttle bodies? I thought they were for old cars with carbauretters? " hehe There was a guy years ago on here, Gareth spiller I think? Who he a TB'd VR6 jetta looked the bees knees and sounded great!
  21. VR6Pete
    My BMC on my obd2 corrado sounds like the gates of hell have opened up when I open the throttle ! What filter are you running? As said, maybe a good clean will help
  22. VR6Pete
    I didn't rate the last series at all! Didn't watch many episodes to be honest, I love most motoring shows though to be fair
  23. VR6Pete
    Has it been mapped?
  24. VR6Pete
