Well, got most of the bits stripped off the old subframe….the amount of surface rust that has come off is mental, but it still seems solid enough
Getting everything to the powder coating place hopefully tomorrow or Monday and then while they are away I’ll crack on with the rust treatment/undersealing/painting of the body.
Also got to order the rear brake line

I still bet money on the wires on that rubber sleeve. I had a couple of breaks on mine (one was very hard to get to) but also some of the wires had broken sleeves meaning they are exposed in places and can short on others ........matches what you are getting.

Had a similar but not exactly the same issue with my BWA a while back. Would rev to around 37k rpm and then quite violently lose all power, like a sudden fuel or ignition cut. Turned out to be the engine speed sensor.

Posting this here in case anyone else comes across it in the future.
GTI, GTD and Jetta share the same front mount, standard golfs use a different one. To get the bumper to fit perfectly without cutting anything, you need the correct radiator mount. The same crush bumper fits both but you need the correct size X plate to be able to bolt it to the hood latch area.

Took car to a local guy Glenside motor company (15 mins away) to get the swirl flaps and stage 1 map done, did it via OBD with CMD Flash, didn'#039t need to remove the ECU to bench it which is a bonus.Before mapping he put the factory original file on the car, checked for any errors then mapped the car with the 3 swirl flap codes deleted and motor disconnected.

Sachs used to be the old supplier for VW back in the mk5 era but now they are using Monroe. I have not had any experience with Sachs myself but I'#039ve recently fitted Monroe all around my old car. I'#039ve had KYB previously and the shocks might as have been welded stiff. If you want comfort, stay away from those. My other car on Bilstein b4 sport, Eibach pro-kit and 18"quot wheels was mo
Steering lock gone? What do I need...

Hi guys,
Bit of a weird one - without any prior warning or indication, the steering lock on my 2007 1.6 FSi on Saturday suddenly stopped working. I'#039d opened the car up in the morning (current UK heatwave) and when I went to lock her up in the PM I noticed I couldn'#039t turn the key - to the point I needed to get the electric windows to work. There was a little bit of key
