In anycase, Me and my friend from work drove all the way from Worcester to Padiham to pick her up, She drove back almost perfectly <water light came on after sitting in a little traffic and never went off after that <looks like the level was low.> and we never really went under 80mph all the way back, and the glow plug light seems to flicker for a fraction of a second when you would normally wait for a few seconds before startup,.. any ideas?
the only other annoyance was the dominating stench of cigarettes, it's almost unbearable in fact. So a deep scrubbing of the deck is prescribed soon.
I think i will colour code the VW badge.
Can you tell if this is a 1z or an AHU? The Install is a bit messy, but it seems to all work despite the wiring mess... for example... see this photo of the alternator wiring...
NOT good enough!
I would like it if anyone can tell me what the following photos are of, as i do not recognise the parts and would like to identify them if at all possible
She's my second VW, i currently have a little mk2 bread van to bimble about in, but 4 gears and motorway miles get a little tiring, so... i opted for a B3, the bready has never let me down but she will be for sale soon as the Wagon gets put into service.
Need to lose the GB badge i think and perhaps remove the tow bar too, should 'clean' the back up nicely.
Wheels are Kamei's,.. I think they suit the car quite well, and if it wasn't for the N/S rear being so badly damaged that it's cutting into the tyre, i could be convinced to just get some new rubber for them. But I have decided to get rid of them,..
the interior is basically spotless, but will still have a deep wet vac and scrub down to get it really nice. The CD player is absolutely terrible, as are the stock speakers. Must do something about this, I want a stock looking install that sounds good.
so, that's the story so far,... MOT is due soon, so I'm picking some new wheels and tyres up Saturday AM,.. it'll need a boot putting on the steering rack, and I need to investigate the Central locking,... if it has it. I was under the impression that all B3's had Central locking? if mine does, then it's not doing anything at all.
NO doubt i will annoy you all with questions of a technical nature you've probably already answered a billion times as I get her up to standard!
