Andy T 0 Posted March 11, 2006 Fitted new knock sensor, and moved the connector bracket slightly as the old cable was rubbing against the oil filter/exchanger unit. Great. Then I noticed coolant had leaked slightly from the plastic water flange I replaced a few months back, and that there was a bit of mayo under the filler cap - Arrghhh looks like the head gasket might be on its way out! :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StuartFZR400 0 Posted March 13, 2006 Finally found that anoying rattle noise coming from the engine bay. Having gotten worse over the last 3 months, we threw it up on the lift. Its was simply the heat sheild to the down pipe that meets the cat; so just clipped it and all's well. Wierd not to hear it at 2k-revs now, lol.

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 13, 2006 I got advisories on my headlights at the last MOT. I checked them over a week ago and I could see what they meant, most of the chrome on the reflectors has 'worn' off. So I replaced both lamps and also put the proper VW plugs on the end of the uprated loom ends to make life easier when taking the lamps out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
