myles983 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 So after waiting an hour and a half in the cold for recovery, im finally home. My cul-de-sac is rather narrow, so the guy placed her at the entrance to it, and let me limp back into a parking space, since it was in limp mode. Started her up; no EPC light and running smooth again. How much are we talking to get an autoelectrician to have a look at the entire loom...?

myles983 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Changed the thermostat and coolant temperature sensor today. was surprised to find i didnt have a thermostat at all! which would explain the lack of temperature. ran perfectly fine up until i wanted to drive her to Halfords, and then it put itself in limp mode again and the EPC light was on. same thing as before with the throttle body.

myles983 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Also, does anyone know what this is for? its sat right below the throttle body but its got a weird face, with a couple of holes in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myles983 Posted August 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 She's been great while she lasted, but she had finally given up and I didn't want to pool more money into her so I decided to cut my losses and move on. There is a slot for a GTi in my future for sure though..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
