Why does the check engine light in my Corrado turn on when I start my car?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Corrado firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Are Volkswagen Corrado engine noises bad?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Volkswagen Corrado. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Volkswagen Corrado engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Can I put water in my Volkswagen Corrado radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Corrado when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What can cause the engine in my Corrado to suddenly stop?

If your Corrado car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
