Finally got my car all sorted! Have been driving around trim less in the boot and the under the steering wheel, but it is all back on and working now.
I took a trip up to see Ray, aka aRd (He is on ukmkivs & edition, really helpful, top bloke.) he was the guy who wired up the tail gate I purchased as I was having trouble with it, just couldn't get it working after hours and hours of multi metering!
Turned out to be something wrong with the CCM & a wiring fault - which I couldn't have diagnosed or fixed my self, so it was a worthy trip; Ray also sorted my door, I was having to really really pull hard on the handle, only then would it open. The issue was the cable needed shortening which again I didn't know...
So now I have a full functioning mk5 tail gate
Very pleased with it.
Alsoooooooo, I did a little bargaining and got brother rates on some S3 recaros, and managed to get these in this evening! Didn't realise removing/fitting seats was going to be so easy
- Note I said fitting and not wiring in, the base of the seats are a mess and I have my research to for wiring in the air bags
If anyone has any good links about the seats please share
I also got some bora vents with the deal, which I'll probs do on Sunday. They came with the both the male and female connections so I can wire it in nice and neatly.
While driving the other day my oil check light came on, so I must investigate this, just need to pinch my mates laptop for VAGCOM.
I have been driving around for ages with my brake pad check light on as the connector came off the pads, I found an old plastic connector (the mystery one in the standard tailgate that wasn't connected to anything) so I am going to plug this is an wire it up so the light disappears
I have enough bits and bobs to be getting on with, but won't be going crazy as my Mrs is leaving for a year in NZL in 3 weeks
So most of my spare time is spent on the other love of my life...Once she is gone I'll give the dub some much needed TLC in the form of a detail!
