ordered up the R32 service pack from Opie Oils, job for sunday if it arrives tomorrow :)
wycombe_gti:
Got a quote for replacement of small radiator fan as it's died and the larger one is running extra fast and as a result makes the car sound like a milk float when the A/C is turned on, :-)
Booked in for a few weeks time.
Well done to MDM (http://www.mdmtechnik.co.uk/) for spotting the issue as the local VW dealer claimed "they all sound like that". Erm, it didn't sound like that when I bought it......

Just less than £220, which includes the part, an hours labour (in Berkshire) and some dismantling in advance to work out which model it is. There seem to be two different possible parts, one from Siemens, one from someone else. No obvious markings on the visible side that we could see, even with a mirror and a torch.
Worth it to get the Silver Bullet back into stealth mode.
You could do it cheaper yourself for about a hundred quid less if you're a confident DIYer. I'm not, but there are guides on the net showing how to do it.
