--- Quote from: MateyGuv on March 23, 2015, 02:05:48 pm ---Thank you all for kind words. I can't take credit for coding these clocks that's all down to @Eddie-NL I simply(!?) found them
@GTi-Andy these clocks are a hybrid of a MK6 colour MFD rear (G6 unit) and a Scirocco face. Located after searching the Internet for a year and a bit. I don't have a part number as these are a blend of two clock units. If you find me on YouTube and Instagram (username is MateyGuv on both) vid of the clock mod and pics are there. Good luck finding bits :happy2:

@MateyGuv great vid on you tube, cheers fella - now the hunt begins, should you come across the needed clocks please let me know
MateyGuv:

Got the Auto Polar working right with the Colour MFD - really useful bit of kit and allows basic options to be configured without needing VAGCOM :happy2:
My tyres needed replacing so bit the bullet and changed all 4 to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2. So far I'm really impressed and much prefer them to the Bridgestone's I had on before. It could be down to the previous set having only approx. 1.8 tread depth on them but the grip on the new set is awesome in comparison. My MPG's have increased by a notable amount too.
I'm busy getting the rest of the parts I want for an AWD conversion but nearly there, figure if Im going to do it I may as well polly bush, Exhaust (will need changing anyway), roll bars, SALK and alloy arm it while the bits are off.

Iv had a problem with my Ed.......
Took my 2007 Edition 30 DSG for a short drive yesterday and while moving in slow traffic the accelerator stopped providing acceleration yet the gear indicator said it was in gear. The engine then stalled. I was able to put the car into neutral and restart it then got back home. Later on I went to start the car and all good, went down the road and engine management light came on and when coming to a stop engine stalled again.
Got it home and started again but would only idle for a few seconds then stall again. Plugged my scanner in (eBay special) and no fault codes but eml still on. Disconnected the battery and left for 5 then reconnected and it started and was able to idle for about a minute then died again.
The eBay special wasn't giving me any help so bit the bullet and bought a legit Ross-Tech cable from Gendan (http://www.gendan.co.uk/product_VCHU.html) after searching this site for recommendations and they didn't let me down. Got it delivered net day so was able to do a proper scan.
The scan revealed a problem with the LPFP so asked for some advice from the forum and @Dave J and @fuscobal came to the rescue. Many thanks guys :happy2: :drinking: :happy2:
It was either gonna be the thrust sensor or the LPFP itself. Dave kindly supplied the part number for the sensor (06E 906 051K just incase anyone reading this needs it) and fuscobal kindly advised me what is required to change the LPFP to a TTRS unit, which I have as part of my 4WD plans, so I had all bases covered.
Spoke to my local TPS this morning who happened to have the sensor in stock. I wanted to try the sensor first as this would be the easiest to swap out. Their delivery van happened to be passing me on its rounds today and they agreed to send it out on the van for me. They gave me trade price and even delivered it! Well impressed - I have spend a fair bit with them but still was chuffed they would deliver it to me :happy2:
Old V New thrust sensor
The swap over took all of 5 mins. I cleared all faults then turned the car on and it fired up as expected, Iv let it get to temp and gone for a drive and it didn't miss a beat. Just run another scan and all seems good now.
Fingers crossed that's all it was - thanks again Dave and Fuscobal :happy2: :drinking: :happy2:
