Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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. *ak
