What did you and your MK2 do today?

How'd you sort the tailgate handle? Normally just blast mine with WD40, does the job.

Remove the handle and take it apart completely. Clean all the parts, lubricate the metal pin and reassemble.

Ah ok, sounds a bit more of a long term solution than mine haha.

You've got a 1.9tdi right? Check the intercooler pipes, the clips on there went on mine causing a boost leak.

Nope

Just sprayed lots of WD40 and worked it with a brush. Then left the tailgate open to allow it to sit and lubricate. Then stuffed a cloth in there to soak up the excess.

Job's a good 'un.

To be fair, taking it apart and cleaning will probably mean it works properly for longer. Depends on how much time you have I guess.

Looks awesome.

Ordered mine some lovely new Millers Nanodrive and an R-Tech TFSI heatshield. Hoping it'll all be here by the weekend

Took mine to awesome to get the G201 repair kit fitted. Only to find out it hasn't worked. Argh so they kindly did some shuffling to get me a courtesy car and they'll have to try another one. Hopefully won't require the complete assembly. So far not impressed with the reliability of this car.

Been on the phone to Seat head office to complain about this so lets see what happens.
