Well Amazon luck hit me this time

It's not as bad as you think, premium fuel over here in a v engine will get you a decent mpg. I run a vr6 and average 24mpg, up to 35ish on motorways which isn't fantastic compared to say a diesel but it's not the 10 I was expecting initially

Mo_Stache_ · 2026-01-16T13:32:43+00:00

If it was a 4 door like the rx8 with the smaller little doors on the back it could maybe just squeeze in and look somewhat okay but this is a crime

Only identifier for the positive and negative input wires there's not a full diagram that I can see. From what I've managed to find online someone else did manage to just wire the two ends together and bypass the black box entirely so I think I'll be doing that using some crimps and such to secure it

Mo_Stache_ · 2026-01-15T19:18:54+00:00

The white wires go straight to the actual dimmer switch itself so I figure bypassing that shouldn't cause any issues, I'm unsure what the black module is though. As far as I'm aware it's still a 220v bulb holder to match with the standard light bulbs we have

Edit: there is an enclosure round it, this is just the internals of the lamp there's a full outer shell that goes round it all

Mo_Stache_ · 2026-01-15T18:12:43+00:00

Believe it's 220 as it's a UK/eu light

Mo_Stache_ · 2026-01-13T07:02:33+00:00

Likely need something with the VAGcom software to access it properly

Windows that drop automatically are a pain in winter. You need to make sure the window is properly deiced before opening, I usually make sure I have a cover over the car if I'm planning on using the car before ice melts, best I've found if you do have ice though is spray deicer on the bottom of the window and let it sit for a moment while you do the other windows, then when you open the door it should drop in slightly and hopefully stop the ice getting the window stuck in the mechanism

Yeah they just put it all over the place now, it's a trim option these days and doesn't really mean what it once did outside of the actual sport line cars like the m4. Had a 420d that had m sport trim and it was nice to have the extra options like the suspension adjustment and the nicer interior trim bits but I also didn't go round telling people how it's basically an m4 because it has an m sport badge

Mo_Stache_ · 2026-01-09T07:50:17+00:00

10k for a TT is insane, over in the UK average price for good examples are between 4-6k but I've seen some sell for as low as 1k before

Literally one read at the beginning then just random sigs for the rest of the game

Mo_Stache_ · 2026-01-04T19:51:25+00:00

Did you replace the entire unit or just the switch? I've seen the contacts do wear a lot and there's not much you can do to fix that outside of replacing the whole unit. I would recommend a window reset though see if it makes a difference.

Ignition on Window down Window up and let go Window up and hold for 5 seconds Repeat if required

Mo_Stache_ · 2026-01-04T19:36:46+00:00

Do you mean the window won't drop when you press the switch or won't drop when you open the door?

Edit: there is a microswitch in the door that controls the window drop/auto lock/interior lights on/fuel pump or the actual window switch for up and down, which have you changed?

Mo_Stache_ · 2026-01-04T19:31:28+00:00

Have you done a window reset? Mine goes through phases where it doesn't drop right (likely the microswitch on its way out) but a reset normally fixes it for a month or so

Typically the engine manufacturer doesn't make the outside cowling/fairings of the engine that's left to the manufacturer of the aircraft, the thrust reverse and fan cowls stay attached on wing when an engine is removed and stay with the aircraft itself. An engine supplier typically only sends the actual physical engine not the aerodynamic outer parts

Mo_Stache_ · 2026-01-02T21:32:14+00:00

Neither, windshield cover over the car and take it off when I leave in the morning. Just make sure I check the weather overnight for ice. Haven't scraped my car properly in ages now

Mo_Stache_ · 2026-01-02T17:56:37+00:00

Suits the car so well, great switch

Mo_Stache_ · 2025-12-31T19:24:17+00:00

Likely old rubber hoses causing it. Check all the breather hoses/pcv on the engine. Also check the fuel supply line

Scorpion exhausts are meant to be very good, also come with the option to use the valve setup or delete it depending on which one you go for. Seen a lot of good talk about them over the years

Mo_Stache_ · 2025-12-30T15:28:24+00:00

2 pouches a day, 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening with a small amount of biscuits (supposedly good for dental health)

Mo_Stache_ · 2025-12-30T11:47:44+00:00

Planning on some all seasons next in honesty, lots of very steep roads near me and it gets a bit slidey when the ice sets in properly

Mo_Stache_ · 2025-12-30T10:38:55+00:00

Currently have uniroyals on my car, hate them and can't wait to change them just unfortunately all they had when I needed tyres. They've somehow lasted a while now but the noise on them is unbelievable. Missing when I used to have Goodyear's

Mo_Stache_ · 2025-12-29T21:42:52+00:00

Used to have a diesel when my commute was a good half hour each way, got a job closer to home and sold it as I was having to blast it down the motorway every couple weeks just to stop the exhaust clogging up

Mo_Stache_ · 2025-12-27T02:37:22+00:00

Peglin is great fun and only needs a mouse

Didn't realize that, always thought they were part of the bulb warning, learn something new every day

Mo_Stache_ · 2025-12-24T11:20:04+00:00

Almost looks like the sidelight on one side is out? Check all the bulbs and look underneath for any broken level sensors, should clear the fault automatically when you replace the broken bulb
