I had checked before hand if my heater core was under the current recall for 93 corrados, but it wasn't. Now my heater core is having problems and leaking into the passenger side of my vehicle. I cannot afford to pay for the $600 the dealer is asking for putting in a $60 product. Therefore I have no choice but to exchange the heater core myself which is going to be a major pain.

Pressure light kept coming on the cooling system. The cooling systems hoses came off. Recall #98v295000. Does not affect this vehicle, but has the same type of problem.
No summary provided by consumer.
There have been a several small defects, but the last two were major. They were the failure of the ignition control module in oct 1998 ($1,440), and the heater core ruptured in jan 1999 ($440). The cooling system still seems not to be operating correctly because it operates between 215 and 230 deg f in 25 to 35 deg f ambient temperatures. Also, there is still a small leak in the cooling system near the top drivers side of the radiator which has not been located precisely yet. In spite of these niggling problems, I still greatly enjoy driving my corrado and would like to keep it for another 5 years.
