Gear changes are smooth with a nice high biting point.
Don't work on a car if you are tired i went for a test spin around the block. When i got back i remembered the wheel nut bolts and main drive shaft bolts were only hand tight. I forgot about it after filling the transmission. muppet.

Thanks mate i enjoy it, and it gets me off the computer.
On to my next problem now. She struggles to start in the morning so ordered the correct size battery some muppet sold me the wrong battery a few years back (before i took on the maintenance myself).
Bought one of these http://www.bateriaprofesional.es/es/baterias-de-arranque/50-bateria-varta-h3-100ah-silver-dynamic-830a-12v.html
Went to check the glow plugs but the harness just disintegrated in my hand. So i've ordered a new one from the stealers. :sick:
Did manage to check one plug with the multimeter and it returned 0.4 so will replace all the plugs also as i read they should have a resistance around 1.
doylebros:
I find the MKIV. Golf glow plug harnesses have to be changed if you've got a heater plug problem - they just go brittle.
When testing the glow plugs institute I just use a fused feed and a series amp meter - I find this a more simplistic way to prove which glow plugs are faulty or if I have an earth return fault for what ever reason.
dazza:
I'm getting a judder when pulling off in first. It did exactly the same prior to changing the dmf/clutch.
At first i thought it would go away when i get used to the new biting point but i'm not so sure.
Any thoughts on this? Only does it when cold (14ยบ here today).
