what have you done to your car today ?

[BadBoy03]

found a long standing hesitation problem yesterday, 3 exhaust manifold bolts finger tight, cranked them up and the car feels so much better, fuel trims are amazing after 50 miles on it today fluctuating between 0.7-1.5%, felt so smooth, i was over the moon, its took a year to get to the bottom of that problem and cost me around a grand in the parts cannon....... then on the way home the wife saw dripping from the front passenger footwell.....you guessed it, heater matrix leaking arghhhhhh f*** my life. started stripping it all out and got bored so will start again tomorrow, new matrix should come thursday.

That's a FFS moment for sure

in the black rectangle hole, its at the furthest back point of the whole dash gubbings, stupidest place to put it, the mk2 is so much easier to get to, in fact every other car its so much easier to get to but vw/seat had to go full retard and stick it so far out the way.
