Had a water leak on the thermostat housing AND the lower hose which surfaced on Sunday, so new replacements are now in from GSF. These were items swapped in from the 9A instead of the original ABF items, so the motor would fit up to the existing radiator.
Annoyingly I swung by a scrapyard yesterday (after ordering the bits from GSF) and found a Toledo TDI with air-con and a slimline rad and twin fans. I *think* this will replace the OEM one and get rid of the annoying bleed hose off the top of the rad, so I could have bought and fitted the Toledo rad and kept the ABF stat outlet and pipework
So, that ate up most of yesterday, mucking about waiting for GSF to actually get the parts to Hovertravel - they only lost one lot and spent a couple of hours denying it.
Now those bits are sorted and on the brakes need bleeding up, as they're still not all there. Neither is the clutch. Anyone got any tips on bleeding ABS brakes and hydraulic clutches? Not overly happy about the look of the bias valve on the rear beam, either - don't think it's moved for a long time.
Further to that, it seems that the Corrado has the speedo sensor on the engine loom (and on those plugs), but the Golf3 has it somewhere else, as it's not on the G3 loom that's in there now. Annoyed about that one.
