i hear a clunk now and then since i turned down a sharp declined bendy lane

think ive destroyed a drop link again !

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

need to pull my finger out and start getting her back into shape

glow plug is throwing a fault again , also still need ot find that relay for the glow plugs too ,

change the wheel speed sensor , to allow traction control to work again , almost not fun with all that power trying to steer into straight lines , on bends car likes to take its own routes ,

need to look underneath and see whats clunking as sound from before its prob a drop link again

suspect my exhaust might be blwoing upfront somewhere too

list is starting to get endless now

Mark no skool lacks motivation !

it needed a Track rod end & a steering rack end and rear tyres were not far off minimum , so will get them this weekend

Rang AwsomeGti up and explained i didnt fancy a long drive up the them to check so i need to take some pics of the damage and email them hoping to get that done on sat


also picked up a code reader , which seems good , allowed me to change the service interval from 15000 i put it to 9000 miles which will help remind me more , (may drop it a little lower )
