kniterider 0 Posted September 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 ill take a pic of the button for aircon and recycle, i think you might be right about aftermarket as the buttons are near the heated rear window switch area and dont blend in if you know what i mean, i think you can just make em out on the interior picture...??? might this explain why the wiring loom has no 'insulation tape' kind of cover hardly any where in the car or engine bay? or has the coating just rotted away or has it been plagued with leccy faults in the past and its been removed to aid finding probs?? ill take some pics of that too.. i wonder if it could have any thing to do with the intermitent misfire/pants running i had last week??? damp getting in all these open sockets plugs wires etc??? the joys of buying a banger... i love tinkering and d.i.y'ing as well as driving lol...got my new front discs on the way, got pads ready, dizzy cap, rotor arm, and new plugs and leads on the way too, and will give the k+n a clean and change the oil and filter and flush the coolant and refill with the pink vw stuff i used in my mk4, then hopefully it will serve me well during the winter months Link to post Share on other sites
