I have finally fitted the high spec clocks in my mk7, I've only had the van for 13 years lol.

Big thanks to loot once again for his details on how to add wires.

Cruise control and outside temp next. But I need to fit new bcm for that.

Good jobs 8)

I bought an ac refill can with gauge and tube to install the gas. Everywhere says the thick ac pipe is low pressure, my van only fits the small ac pipe that is right at the firewall, i plugged into that and opened the tap, the dial went to 50psi right at the maximum side of the green zone. Can is empty now. Maybe 300ml can? Ac is still blowing cool though :x

Get a permanent marker and draw round the door hinges. Then you can remove the door and refit it without famnying about. Hardee's bit is unplugging the electrical connector

Think that's beyond a gynecologist scope if your fanny has a hole that large and crusty.

My fanny flaps seem to be parting leaving a gaping bucket hole, it’s like putting a cocktail stick in a 205L barrel :lol: :lol:

Anyone notice that the mk7 seems to have a software glitch. Throttle about 2k revs and it has the odd miss fire :roll: think I've had nearly all mk7 with it

I’ve noticed a weird occurrence in 5th around 2k revs when or after rain that the engine kind of bounces and the gear stick shakes, so annoying
