Unless it's boiling up in the block, venting vapour off (invisible) and letting you know when it's not enough to keep the temp. So, something stopping flow... Blockage or insufficient pumping... Could test the pump again?...

It stops the boot being able to be opened from the switch next to it. Yes you do need to lock the seats back for it to be worthwhile. Afaik It does not affect whether the boot is locked / openable from the handle outside

Was it AFN or AVF you had to sort of disconnect the heater matrix and bleed the air there by the bulkhead? Don't know what the drill for this motor would be. Any way to test the WP?

Yeah it does seem like airlock somewhere doesnt it... Proper g12 yes?

Oh. No such thing as thermostat fitted wrong way about in this engine?

Excellent haha

No. They are not surprisingly

Welcome in. From sunny chester!!

Mine was BMR btw

Does it have the fuel filter at the front of the engine bay, maybe with some torx screws at the top? Mine I unscrewed those and lifted the top off, pull filter element out and put new one in. Some say take out the fuel from there as well as could be water/dirt at the bottom... Top up with fresh fuel...

Haha I've really enjoyed it but not as much as the first season. The music is excellent too, cristobal tapia de vere - can't find any more of his music in the usual places tho....

Yeah when people try to avoid tax haha

Ok I think I have my answer

All dampers have oil inside. Gas dampers have oil inside and gas as well. if they make that pssst sound on hits it could be the gas has leaked off and the oil is foaming/cavitating. The gas pressure acts on the oil and stops the cavitation and foaming.

Reading with interest... how would you describe your driving style? Anticipation, acceleration sense, distance from vehicle in front, abide the speed limits etc...? What pressures are in your tyres now?

Don't let your car idle wen cold it's not good for it. Drive normally without heavy demand on the engine until up to temp. As it says in the manual

Bing! Excellent idea. Except the mrs will be laying awake asking me if wildlife can get in haha

I try to chimney the house: open one window upstairs and one downstairs ... Air flows through the house like a chimney. Seems more effective than opening everything upstairs, particularly when there's no breeze like recently.

Reading this i think your wasting energy. What do you hope to achieve ? He wants to change how he feels about being conned... so a perfectly valid use of effort I'd say :-) I say write 4 more letters make them all different, go wild, be creative. Do not send any of them. You will feel better afterw...

I would ask them what failed how and why. Likely wear and tear...

Fuel filter not required to be changed on major service I don't think...

Yep, no code for blocked filter, or worn out pump, or flaky cps, or deteriorated injector loom, or dirty egr, seized vnt.......

Should be nothing much below 2000rpm. Could be a few common things. I'd be thinking tank pump, fuel filter, sticking egr valve (leaks off boost pressure) sticking vnt mech, dirty/slow maf, split or loose boost hose near intercooler. A good scan from vagcom would give good info too...

How much is a new one now then?

so not the cps then?
