    palmer got a reaction from rich in help:how to change heater matrix   
    I have a vague recollection of somebody saying they did it without removing the dash but i can imagine that being insanely awkward. Although removing the dash is a time consuming task if you do it slowly and pay attention to where things come from its not too bad of a job. I just ripped it all out did the matrix and threw it all back in, didn't take too long.

    New coils arrived today. 
    Went for genuine NGK R8 coils in the end.
    Some people say they produce a stronger spark which will come in handy when I turn up the boost.
     
    I just like the look of them if I'm honest.?

    I know this isn't a VR but it's still VAG. Got rid of my wife's Volvo and surprised her with this for her Christmas box (quality bedroom points for me lol )

    Keep it up dude, if you scrap it you've lost all your hard work that you've already put in. No point selling a games console just cos your stuck on one game

    Try not to think about how much work it's gonna be. Just write a list of things that need to be done and just crack on with it and you'll save her from the scrap heap. You know it'll be worth it in the long run

    I will highly recommend the halfords advanced cover if covering your car up and it lives outside, the 3 strong straps and buckles laughed in the face of the wind and rain, the Clarke one lasted ok in summer but did get a tear in it where the elasticated edge was stitched on in a summer breeze. The halfords one also feels softer inside. To summarise, I still wish I just had a garage.

    Works out a lot cheaper for me this way. I get all parts trade discount and do work my self one of my mates does smart repairs paint chips etc.. And I know a very cheap welder who does a brilliant job as he restores cars for a living so pretty lucky tbh.

    I must be a lurker , or a step under that! My name is Bill. I've been into vws since the early 70"s, Bought a 2003 vr6 after working on one for a friend. I was so impressed by the power I thought I had to have one.
     
    I also have a vw syncro that I was going too use as parts car for the suspension for a MGA project. A guy that rents half of my garage didnt tell me how rare they are so now I'm debating the idea. This car is second owner from NC. and is all original, didnt mean that much to me. After my renter looked at it I dont think I can rip it apart.  So guess back to the drawing board on my MG.
     
    I've been a welding fabricator all of my life and always enjoyed modifying anything I had, but for the most part worked on others stuff. Never took the time for my own stuff. Now it is time for me to have some fun.
     
    Hope to hear and talk; to keep on the latest things.
     
    I live in western Md. will  be taking more time on the site. Hope to learn and have some fun
    Thanks
