Hi Keidi, first of all good job on the rear wheel bearings 👍. Those wires (High Tension) or HT leads for short, you would normally see a white deposit on the lead where it's arching out against the engine or a chaffing on the rubber. If you start engine with the engine cover removed you can visually check 1 lead at a time at night or dark garage is best, you'll see a little blue sparks jumping off the lead especially where it may be in contact with engine. Have you changed fuel filter? Since you have owned the car? Also 1 other thing you can do start car let her tick over have a quick check off engine breather s, either slightly pull out dip stick or remove oil filler cap and look for smoke coming out normally be blue smoke. If you've already solved problem then 👍 I should have asked you that first ha if not let me know and I will finish off what I was saying. And keep doing what your doing as your doing a fab job..
7 years and counting owning it.💪🏼 Got it fixed, kind of. When you look at the “What fixed my Corrado VR6” video - there’s solution(s). Were problems with IAC and potentiometer amongst other little issues. Fuel line was okay, filter changed and everything tested too. Thank you for thinking along, you were on the right track.🙌🏼
Try the simple things before changing to much. The Corrado VR6 cooling system works perfect if in right order: 1.) is your fuse for the ventilator okey? I wonder why it didn't run when coming home in the night. 2.) check the contacts behind the fuse- box. Oxidation is a common failure there. Use a special Anti- corrision spray for electrics. Like" Kontakt 60" 3.)check the electrical contacts at the thermostat- housing also. Use " Kontakt 60" 4.) check the electrical contacts for the electrical waterpump. Use Kontakt 60 5.) the cooling- system normally gets rid of any air when the engine is running with the cooling- bottle open. You can pump a little bit additionally at the waterhoses. Of course at the end you have to close the coolant- bottle. Because the system is pressshurized. 6.) don't think your cooling- bottle had a leck. The hot water comes out under the black cover at the side. Do you have already the blue cup on the cooling- bottle? Important. 7.) are the air- leading profiles before the radiator are in good shape? They are often rotten in this old cars. When you checked all this only then I would think of flushing the system, changing the thermostat( check even a new one for proper opening on the stove) and the primary water-pump. By the way. Your secundary( electrical) waterpump should run at once when switching on ignition. You can feel it at the pump. And the electrical- pump should run for some minutes after ignition off.
You bought a new coolant- bottle. The cup on top is very important. Only the blue (!) is right because it has the right pressure- Valentinstag. I forgot to mention. The fan should work in first gear almost the whole time, especially when driving slow in heavy traffic. I myself had this problem lastly and didn't realize that the fan was'nt working correctly. In my case it was a broken fuse and oxidated contacts.
After watching till the end Keidi iits after the oil overheating the misfire has stared was it? If so Then it maybe a spark plug breaking down check them for any discoloring blue on the chrome of spark plug just below the ceramic, 1might have got too hor due to the high oil temperature. Your engine management light should come on if it has amything to do with MAF sense or tps senser or any senor to do with fuel, fuel pressure, air intake
Thank you! The tool is actually called spark plug wire removal tool, if you google, then the one with a blue head is OEM. Simple tool, not the cheapest, but so useful.
Nice sounding engine, shite car. Had one for 13 years and the build quality was awful. Fuel economy for the power was awful. Your problem looks like the idle control valve.

Well done for servicing yourself that’s really cool, righty tighty lefty loosey haha I do that as well 😂😂
Haha, yeah, always confusing which way to go. Thank you!😀😎

I would also check al the ground wires and see if they are clean and make good contact. Fresh fuel does sometime also help.

I was just about to say Keidi check oil first and then you did 👍. Didn't you put new coil pack, plugs and HT leads a few months ago?
Yeah, I did.🙂
Clean your IAC and check your Crank Position Sensor
Definetely at the check list.😊
nice Corrado.
Schöner Kanal. Schöner Corrado. Ich werde wieder schauen 😊 Grüße
Thank You!😊✌🏼
liking the Corrado VR6 and Golf content and how to's. I have a VR6 Corrado myself. what tool did you use to remove the spark plug leads
