Wazzzer's 1.8T... Lots of updates

Just means the throttle butterfly is a little bit less restrictive as it's near enough at 90° so will be flat.

The comfort indicators blink 3 times when you flick the stalk, good for quick signals on the motorway etc

Necessity for the Isle of Wight

Love this car, very unique detail and touches. 

[Wazzzer]

Thanks buddy 

Had a go at fitting my vents all back in place today to make it all look neat again and.... I broke my Bora centre vent 

Wasn't strictly all me though, the place I bought the vents from had broken all the tabs along the top that hold the vents to the faceplate so it kept coming apart when I tried to fit them back in. I then got the arse and tried to pull them back out but they were caught on one corner 

After a quick think I remembered Baxxy having a centre vent for sale which needed a bit of TLC, a quick PM and it's on its way to me. I'm making a good set out of the two lol

Here's a few pics of the float switch fitted. It was leaking a tiny bit since I fitted it but I checked today and it's stopped







This switch works in the reverse of the devils own version; once the float falls level it will create a connection giving me a warning light on the controller. The devils own version needs to fall to a 45 degree angle to create the connection. This means I can fit the version I have lower in the tank wall. Also it looks like it's fitted on an angle as my tank is fitted on the back seats 

Gonna try and muck about with VAG TACHO tomorrow and see if I can code in the new clocks

[Wazzzer]

Clocks are in!!!

Had to fit a different wiper stalk as my original had no controls for the MFD and also add the wires needed to control it. This was the worst bit as the airbag, steering wheel, ring gear, stalk retainer and finally stalks had to come off 



After this was all back in I started on the green mutiplug. I had to run four new wires to this to add the controls and the outside temp sensor



Very fiddly job as VW fit blanks to the spare slots meaning you have to pick them out first

Put the new clocks in and coded them to my keys, then added miles to empty and illuminated needles

This is the result





I absolutely love them

Just got to change the position of my boost gauge now, I hate it in the vent lol

I've bought an offset column mount pod so I'll fit that this weekend
