What did you do to your mk6/7 today?

[Cider Andy]

Got my MOT but got a few advisory's at least it passed

You're doing ok: mine is three years newer and had a terminal MOT test two years ago! It's been in the yard ever since getting lighter and lighter: whatever parts I'm not plundering it for are rusting away...

Yours will be a Southampton built van then

The very same, aye! It's a very early Mk7. One of those they built before they started painting the underneath, by the look of it...

Aye but loot doesn't spend most of his time in limp mode most of my work is all local so doesn't clock up the mileage that much, today it 215,666

Didn't the Southampton plant dip the vans in the sea before painting them I know the feeling with "borrowing" parts for other vehicles, at least you have another van on the road, if you use them daily you have to fix them but if you don't need it you never fix it.

Heh heh, it certainly looks like it! This one is particularly bad. Got a Turkish one from 2011 with barely a spot of even surface rust underneath.

Mines defo starting to go, b ut it's doing alright otherwise, just did another 400 mile round trip this weekend, still averaging 37.1 even with me giving it some stick every now and then to loose some tosser

Swore at it (Well, at myself) as it's drawing air from the tank lines somewhere.

4 new injectors, so all the injectors on my 3.2 5 pot have been replaced now...

The old injectors was leaking into the pots when standing for 12 hours causing it to be a little lumpy and smoky for about 30 seconds... they was also over fueling while running on idle / driving, as I found a company that can test them.

All the software side of things have been carried out too

Tried to change the damn heater resistor. What a nightmare with the a/c pipes in the way.

I did the same recently and hated it, but damn it saved a lot on what the mechanic quoted !

[kenshukai]

After all that it didn't work. Think the next step is to change the blower motor and the switch. Nightmare.
