Re-sealed the box under the wiper with butyl strip and copious ammounts of trade spec sealant lol also the bonnet release grommet.


Also changed the pollen filter, i think it needed it :rofl:

You could always say it was a
'carbon pollen filter' they start off closer to grey than white ;) I haven't even looked at mine yet, I'm sure it will want doing though, when I get round to it.

I was going to replace it I've read a few threads about removing it but I can't help but think it was put there for a reason. Lol

I thought that lol. It only does it after being driven for abit but if I switch It off and on again it boosts properly is that the common fault

No that sounds like limp mode you read the fault codes? I guess a n249 faulty would cause limp mode tbh I cant recall as I said they get bypassed

Found the passenger rear door is leaking in water (aye great build quality VAG, cheers :w4nk: ) so resealed that with the proper butyl rope.

Had to get the underlay out to get that dried properly, getting quite good at this now - had both leccy seats out and the underlay out in 10 mins :D

Before anyone asks, I've not put the carpet back in as there are still a couple of very small water leaks, and I'm not having it ruined until they get sorted. ;)
