Re: G135EPB 8v GTI Reply #213 – February 27, 2025, 09:41:48 PM Thanks, that is possibly the one I bought last time when I had the car painted. I think I'm going to leave it off for now 🤔
Re: G135EPB 8v GTI Reply #214 – March 10, 2025, 03:46:24 PM Only minor update and back to the window stencil! I noticed that my boot carpet was a bit wet as was the sound deadening in the spare wheel well. I got my daughter to spray the hose on the boot whilst I was sat in the boot and narrowed the leak down to the rear washer jet of all places.Not taken this apart before so undone the lock and pulled the washer fluid pipe awayOld one (temp fixed) with a blob of silcone and the suppose new genuine oneFitted and climbed back in the boot and hosed down again and seems to have solved and a nice simple fix🤞When clearing my garage late last year i found a new coil still boxed which was a nice bonus! I decided as mine was looking pretty crusty and quite probably original, it was worth swapping as preventative if nothing else. I've kept the old Bosch one as a spare as it was still fully functioning,Whipped the old one offi noticed the earth strap was showing signs of wearcopper earth bits were cleaned upand replaced the earth strapthis 12mm blank on the bottom of 1 way valve was looking pretty holey and brittle! Not sure if i disturbed it or if it was already like this.Got a new silcone blank off ebay for a few quid I've been giving some more thought on where i want to go with the car in future as progress feels very stagnant these days. I am re-wondering what i can do to regain my interest without chucking loads of money at it. Something that seems quite sensible is a gearbox swap, something with either a 3.9 or 4.2 final drive to liven it up a bit more? My current box has a Quaife lsd and it would be a shame to go back to open diff but that creates a much bigger job than just throwing another box in. I might be tempted to temp fit something short term to see if i can live with the ratios before going to the extreme of ripping mine apart for the Quaife. Having said that not sure i would want to commit to doing this over the summer when i hope to use it a lot more
