Title: first 'real' test for the golf
Post by: enyap on 11 June 2012, 12:17

Driving the golf to Le Mans in the golf in 2 days time after finally getting all the electrical and mechanical issues sorted. It hasn't been great to me in the time that I've owned it but now comes it's first big test. In the last few weeks i've fitted new rear disks and pads, new boost hoses, new 007p recirculation valve, new airbox with panel filter, and i've been granted a recall on coilpacks which is due tomorrow. Its running very well indeed atm but i still don't have alot of faith in it given it's history  :sad: lets hope it pulls through for me though  :wink:
