Did some coolant temperature tests to confirm the correct operation of a V6's cooling system so the findings could be posted and enjoyed my commute as always

It'll drive much better with all that lot done, just niggles really
the co2 on mine has been high everytime i've took it for the test.
my mot examiner says he has to "tweak" the machine for k series cos they all show high co2.

Hopefully it'll go through after replacing the cat and lambda. Have to say i wasn't expecting such a list mind.
My S3 (now sold
) went straight through

She might drive ok but with those brakes readings i'm surprised it stops!!
My last Mot readings were.
Front 490 Kg's each side
Rear 465 Kg's each side
Handbrake 415 Kg's each side

they don't build them like that anymore
mine had a split rubber on the bottom ball joint but i just replaced the rubber and the tester was ok with that as there was no play or wear in it.
cats are relatively cheap but lambda's are pricey.

Can honestly say I never considered the brakes inadequate, they did and still do feel fine. Did hear the tester mutter something about 'not used this in a while' when he carted a heavy looking lump of metal. Assume it was for testing brakes??

replaced the crankcase breather filter with the BMW cyclone and fitted drivers door window regulator.
Old filter was in a nasty condition, glad I changed it.
