What did you do to your mk6/7 today?

[Airthies]

Looks alright to me

Have you got a block diagram of how the gearbox works?
Is it a simple process or do things need to be timed? Are there safeties that need to be incorporated?

And most importantly do you have all the different coloured lamps?

I'm sorry but it will have to go from green straight to red alert (with a brief stop at yellow for a pee) as I do not have blue bulbs

Haven't you done that little job yet? Thought it would be voice activated or something by now

My heads bursting, just when I think I'm getting somewhere I realise I'm getting a bit ahead of myself and I'm back to nearly but not quite square one.... so at least still moving forward... if only just
Meant to get a pick of my latest puzzle but here's one of the current steep learning curve

I think someone may have tried to have one of my alloys away, noticed a rumble/knocking when cornering right last night but it was too dark to check anything.
Had a look first thing this morning and found a broken wheel stud and the 3 other normal wheel nuts were a bit loose, locking wheel nut was fine though

Is possible dd but on my mk7 i was tightening the nuts up and a few of them weren't getting tight and the bolts sheared like yours, probably from being over done many times, the worrying thing was that the fact that it was easy to tighten until snap, that suggested that rather than just fail, my bolts stretched and probably split more and more, I think that I could have happily just left it and it popped off when I was driving or a bump etc. Luckily they are hub centric so only needed to keep the wheel on the hub.

There are ppl with wellers on that the centre isn't touching Not Ned though he's sensible

[dirtydog]

Well I've ordered a new set of studs and nuts so I can change all on that hub

[ned]

Yes I have seen people with Weller's just on the studs its not a risk I would take, my centres have gone all rusty now though

Removed the bulkhead, fitted a load area carpet and started the look for a single passenger seat and the inevitable unicorn poop doorcard

[FFMan]

I installed a home made Nixie tube based speedo & clock. Clock changes to speed on the move Don't know why but it amuses me no end.

Finally found the cause of the squeaking rattling noise coming from the engine bay, t'would appear my alternator is on borrowed time or at least the bearing are.

Cheers for the idea mine squeaks when warm but today fitted a new battery as the other needed jump starting after one turn this morning, while i was at it fitted the split charge inteligent relay with fridge output woooo. on a down side it snowed while i did it and my seat is now wet.

Is yours a Mk6 or 7?

I only found the fault when I put the heated screen on, it was dark, all the lights and heating on, then as soon as I pushed the heated screen button the valtage droped and it started squealing and rattling

Mk7 suffer from crank pulley breaking (usually rattle a few weeks before)

Wonder if it's the bearing in the alternator is dry, if it only does it when hot, mines all the bloody time
