Fuel trims are jumping about quite a bit but not pinned to the max either rich or lean. While it's not ideal and needs to be fixed, am i ok driving like that sort term until i get the fuel map more accurate?
 
The remaining Front Calliper and flexi done :)

My god those gubbing screws are a nightmare. Were all different sizes had to use 2 sacrificial sockets get them out in one piece :oops: fashion new ones so holes align, turbo pipes off to get AF spanner and my gigantic banana hands in there. Didn’t kink the micro bore? :confused:
would have been so nice to just chop it off but in one piece gives @Bix more options. If you still need front calliper it’s here ready for you just need to find a box?
Axle seal that side looking bit leaky :( looks like the springs will come out without too much of a battle and UJ clips are starting to pop out so not all bad :)
Cor blimey, that sounds like a ballache.
Did you check the turbo bearings for play while you was in there?
I want to pretend I don't need it, but the piston seals were pretty shot when I cleaned them up. Maybe I should buy some orange paint and make them all race car spec. :eek::D

No , want to pretend there’s nothing to find in there :eek: plenty of power @2200 and no way I could afford one now if there is issue. Need to focus on rough transmission UJs and box fluids, any news on torque converter?
 
And now the screen wash only goes part way up the screen
When I was taking the bonnet acoustic cover out to clean, I realised poor spray on one side of ours wasn't blocked jets, but the 90 degree bend piece between the piping and the jet mount had split down the side. Worth checking as a quick fix? Might have caught / rubbed on some of your revised LPG kit?
 
After last weeks marathon attempt of 6 hours to do the o/s rear bush I gave my new tool a try on the n/s, 1 and 1/2 hours later and job done and sat having a brew :D

Got my new instrument cluster, installed it, still no oil pressure light. An old thread on here seemed to lean towards oil pressure switch being dead and in turn sending no signal to the becm thus cannot illuminate the bulb. I figured they'd fail on, rather than off, but heyho. 8 quid a pop isn't too bad to find out. On the plus I now have a spare cluster which I can practise opening up to pimp out the dials. :cool:;)

Be careful swapping instrument clusters as if it has a higher mileage on it it will change yours to it, as the cluster and the becm both hold the mileage and if there is a difference found it will go to highest, ( as i found out to my cost i gained 30k:( just from a quick test )

Oooh I do love nice shiny tools:D:D
Must say you do love a bit of lube:rolleyes::rolleyes::D
 
Egr valve??? :rolleyes:
No, bulb went (to be exact LED went) can I change the LED? No, I have to buy a whole cluster and change it, not just a bulb, and it's a real faff to do it, I would say about 1/2 hours to change it (it's the one on the pax side mirror) I have to dismantle the mirror and swap the unit for a new one

On the Golf? Surely that's under warranty?
