Our reliability study for this generation Volkswagen Corrado includes details on average repair costs, manufacturer recalls, and everything you need to know to gauge the long-term reliability of this generation Volkswagen Corrado .
Trouble Spots
Consumer Guide's® Auto Editors have scoured repair bulletins and questioned mechanics to search
for commonly occurring problems for a particular vehicle. In some cases we also give possible manufacturer-suggested
solutions. In many instances these trouble spots are Technical Service Bulletins posted by the manufacturer,
however, we have our own expert looking at additional vehicle problems.
Dashboard lights:
The key binds in the ignition switch preventing it from fully returning to the run position which causes the ABS warning light to stay on. (1993-94)
Engine stalling:
The engine may not start because of a broken contact inside the power supply relay for the engine control computer. (1990-94)
Oil consumption:
The correct amount of oil for the VR6 engine was reduced from 6.3 qt. to 5.8 qt. and the owners manual should have been corrected to reflect this. (1990-94)
Radiator:
There was a voluntary recall to replace the radiator fan, which could fail or come off and damage the radiator. (1993-94)
Tire wear:
Premature rear tire wear (cupping and feather edging) is due to too much positive toe on the rear axle requiring installation of a specially machined stub axle to reduce the toe. (1990-94)
