What have you done to your Golf today?

[Sam]

thought this would be a good thread, basically what have you done to your golf today!?

ill start:

changed my thermostat as it was leaking (quite a common problem) and managed to get the bit from a scrappy for £10 bargain!

your turn.....

My turn? Blast from the past!!

[Egbutt Wash]

Hit a large puddle at speed.

[mumbles]

looked out the window after an hour of getting home and saw that both front windows on the car were right down and it was raining..... confused, as i definately didn't have them down when i parked up, so guessing it's goin to have to be a door card off and check all the wiring(possible switch aint workin right so will need to check that too). plus now the window doesn't go all the way up unless you stop it before it hits the top or it comes right back down again.....

fluid check on mk3... topped up where necessary

keeping an eye on fan belt as its sounding a bit 'scratchy' down there

made sure all drain holes in the sills were clear and had a good look underneath for any other problems, cleaned around inner cv trying to track down a possible gearbox leak, changed top radiator hose and bled system
mk1s need constant watching, soon as you turn your back summat will break or fall off

yeah... i thought so too... will keep an eye on it and if that is the case swap that and the thermostat out - shouldn't cost too much from GSF

Trying to find a thermostat housing for the vr6 that's not expensive
