petemcr 2 Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hey everyone, hope you're all well Not been on here for a while as I've not really touched my VR much since putting a new head gasket on her, but seeing my mate get his 1967 Beetle running after being stood for going on 4 years has spurred me on. So, the story is, I changed the head gasket on my 93' Corrado VR6, all was well as it started off the key, after that however it never started again. It looked like it had a spark problem but it turned out to be a dodgy ignition switch but the head has been off again and fully rebuilt and timed back up. So it sounds like it's not getting any compression as it seems to spin pretty free, not compression tested it yet but we tried to drag it and it did fire and run, but the ignition switch caused it to cut out. Is it worth dragging it again? I've been told to re-time it, I'm pretty sure my mechanic has done it right but I just don't know if it's worth trying to pull it and will it run right after.
