Wayne2015 10 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Ok MORE broken bits found :( Remember passenger side headlight snap fixing? Not much better driver side headlight plastic frame LITERALLY falls off - eeeek! WHAT in the world is this screw/plug on driver side (non on passenger side)??? Front grille fixings are snapped off I always wondered what that cable tie was for??? Edited February 12, 2015 by Wayne2015 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerfish 10 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) The screw/plug is where the plastic cover from behind the headlight screws into (it fills the gap above the panel that helps guide colder air from the headlight into the air intake) http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=321175584234 Edited February 12, 2015 by Tigerfish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted February 12, 2015 It secures a cover behind the headlight which acts as a sort of air guide for the air box. That in the ebay link is the cover. I'll show you that on Sunday too mate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Each day I find a new broken or missing item or something else don't work :-( I just hope the engine is fine! EEEK! As since owning it for a week there: 1. Almost no engine oil 2. No coolant 3. Roof leaks (but was told it doesn't) :( :( :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted February 12, 2015 I honestly know the feeling mate. I was lucky that it was a good runner, but I had more leaks that a pregnant pensioner, the bodywork and interior were absolutely shot, and I was also missing quite a few of the little things.

Anyway So far found VWHeritage and VeeDubMachine for parts. Anywhere else I should consider for value for money (preferable OEM parts)? What about TPS?
