Early signs are that this is working. It seemed to take maybe a week or so for the gel absorb any moisture inside the lamp, but not noticed any for quite a few days now.

I think I've made my mind up, TCR, get used to the DSG and avoid the possible flakiness of the 8CS till the 8.5CS comes down in price, sorted :)

Anyone selling a TCR? :)

Good choice, great car :smiley:

Golf mk4 / Re: Radiator options
« Last post by Mr_Orange on 21 February 2026, 12:07 »
Bottled it and went standard
Nissens NISSENSRADAA014992
Managed to get it replaced in around 3 hrs. Did it static, not from underneath, stripped the front back and got the radiator pack off/on OK. Needed another pair of hands to support the Aircon rad and tied that up to remaining bodywork.
Noted leak at nearside bottom corner on the old one.
All reconnected and run up to temperature OK. So far so good.

I’ve had an auto box for nearly 25 years and would never go back to manual. The VW DSG is a work of art IMO, super smooth and seamless shifts.

DSG for me, would never go back to manual

Same here. When I’ve subsequently driven a manual courtesy car when my car’s in the garage for servicing, can’t wait to get back into my car :smiley:.
