Yep right on cue as it has been for the last 4 months or so something else has decided that its not working any more and it needs fixing

This month its the aircon control unit underneath the battery  :angry:

Still, its a job for Saturday  :undecided:

Anyone else with this disease or is it just me?  :sad:

I too have this "disease", this month was rear window, last month was passenger side window, month before it was charge pipe leak, month before that sunroof broke, which meant headliner removal, a bit*h of a job, etc. etc.

You know what they say,

"If you want something to do every weekend, buy a golf"

mines less of a monthly disease and more of a plague.

The car goes wrong every week let alone every month! this time its the ARB's, CV joints and back axle bushes  :smiley:

it is

But i've just fixed it  :lipsrsealed:

So much for VW checking the fuses - they didn't actually check to see the fuse powering was actually there!!  :shocked: :shocked:

I remember a couple of weeks ago checking through the fuses as I kept blowing one or two when installing the boot handle electronics - I'd obviously removed it and didn't put it back....... :embarassed:

Will be getting ALL my money back tomorrow!!!! :evil:

My car seems to know when I am saving money to buy something which is not for the car. By the time I have the money together, something major happens with it and I have to use the money to fix it so what I wanted to spend the money on will have to wait. I'm still paying off the steering rack at the moment  :sad:
