Not an update I was planning.......
After a long day of detailing, I went to start the car and after turning it over for what seemed like an eternity, the car finally started and bought up the EPC light on the dash, A quick trip to CupraMatty's house and a session on the VagCom I bought a new crank shaft sensor...
I took the car down to my mates unit to borrow the ramp to fit the sensor, and the car then decided it didn't want to start, a quick roll back and a bump and we had lift off..... so a new starter motor was ordered...
It turns out the old unit had been previously bodged back together with silicone
it turns out one of the cables had pulled out a connector, so although i managed to get the car to start buy reconnecting the cable there was no telling how long it would last....
New vs Old
Stripped out
I also took the opportunity to clean up my throttle body
all back together
I've also ordered a new brake light switch, which is next on my list to fit along with a rocker cover gasket as I've got a small leak.
I managed to give my car a quick clean for the first time in months, I also gave my mums car a top up with wax...
