Bit of a list as i have done a few jobs in the past week  :grin:
replaced the knackered aux belt,binned my old fooked back box and replaced with my almost new standard one won on e-bay for next to nowt,fitted the remaining bits of interior trim that was missing!,replaced a dodgy thermostat for a genuine o.e.m one :rolleyes:,replaced both track control arms and ball joints along with the anti-roll bar bushes,which then on th o/s the driveshaft popped out  :shocked: discovered it had been fitted the incorrect way round and was missing the securing circlip  :sick: (now i know why it clunked/knocked from the front end  :angry: changed the dog-bone mount for a powerflex one and replaced the dried out cv joint(gearbox) all that done then discovered a grinding noise from drivers side front wheel area  :angry: which led me to replace the front discs and pads yesterday,due to a fooked o/s disc,Still on a better note after all this i now have better front brakes and no grinding  :smiley: and now now knock/clunk from the front end/gearbox and a much improved gearchange and firmer front end  :smiley:....happy days.....next job sort out the missing multi-plug that previous owner(s) have decided to cut off from the brake pad wear warning sensor.....thanks for that you bellends  :rolleyes: and that's pretty much all.

new ecu temp sensor fitted (with minimal anti freeze loss)

I also visited a local spray shop and the guy is a serious vw nut (he run's a 1.8t Mk2) and we have agreed price on some needed remedial work for mine!  :cool:

Changed front top mounts, cleaned the threads and collars on the coilovers then white greased them ready for winter, raised it all round by and inch,attempted to change both handbrake cables and realised I had the wrong ones after I had destroyed one getting it off,so only have one cable now until I can get a pair of correct ones.Will be sorting out my winter wheels next week.
