Andrewcupra TDI's ride

[Andrewcupra TDI]

and now i have a rattle from a pulley same thing as yours done mark

any ideas if it would be a good idea to take all my intercooler and pipework off and clean/flush them out with isopropyl alcohol ? a mate can get it from work

also while im at it i thought id buy some mikalor clamps from pyrek to clamp the hoses together , any ideas what size clamps ide need to order

think the modding bug has dissappeared in terms of getting anymore out the car , will just maintain what i have and all parts i have bought and not fitted

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

finally got round to fitting the track rod ends and steering rack end
also fitted the wheel speed sensor on sat

after driving about for a bit and constantly clearing the error code its still coming back on

aslo booked car in for the lazer tracking to be done in the morning

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

lazer tracking all done was out by a bit too

now to sort this bloody wheel speed sensor out

while being bored i searched the meaning of the cars vin number

it was built in Martorell, Spain in 2004 (so dvla why put a 53 plate on it !!! )

think i will get a valet done on here next week as i doubt i will use it for work during next week

try help restoring the lost love

It may be the loom itself Andrew. I had same problem while back. Replaced the whole loom.
