Earwig 89 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 M.O.T day ! Broken door handle so failed.... Audi handles welded in so not really a simple fix :-( Anyhow, after taping the side repeaters to the wings, changing number plates, removing the Airbag panel light and ABS light, removing the bottom half of the drivers side dash to take out the wire with the screenwash button attached, fixing the handle witha little welding inside, replacing a brake flex on the rear and a number plate light she sailed through ! Haha ! So I treated her to an Oil change to. 264 Milles since it's last M.O.T ! I plan to have a whole lot more miles by the trime the next one comes around.....

B4VR6 193 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Last night I found a pipe going to my catch can was split so I sorted that. Tried changing my throttle position sensor to see any difference but need some longer screws. Need to know the sensor is 2.9 and which is 2.8. Link to post Share on other sites

The Monk 50 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Well, I went over mine with a fine tooth comb so to speak. I have a good, perhaps good is the wrong word, long sounds right, of to-dos. * Clutch and DMF, soon-ish.* Wishbones/balljoints* New shocks and G max 35mm lowering springs* New anti roll bar bushes* New track rod ends* New cat back exhaust* Possibly a new intake filter* New double din unit and fascia to replace the factory cassette 1.5 din rubbish.* New coolant this week to replace the old/lost coolant from several coolant pipe replacements that are about to begin.* Four new good quality tyres. Also looking soon at re directing the intake pipe. The intake pipe from the filter to the throttle body runs across the middle of the inlet manifold and curves around at the top of the engine. So the air effectively heat soaks 3 times. Once from the filter, once down the inlet and again inside the short and long runners of the cylinder head. May not work but it gives me some messing around time. Link to post Share on other sites

I'll see what happens when I get my mk3 all sortedThey sure are. Nearly bought one about 3 years ago before the Golf and a decent car could be had for 3k, the same car will be nearer 5k now.Kinda missed the boat although they are still showing signs that they still appreciating.
