Plus the picture you show there would use a female socket anyway which isn’t an issue.

I use multi spline ones, was sure they’d strip the new bolt but was extremely surprised when they didn’t, even when putting stupid torque setting on them.

Looks a bit like mine.

So what is actually fitted in the car regarding vents?

Have you made sure all the cables are fitted to the switches?

I imagine it’s a safety override as well as an economy feature, so when the brake pedal is pressed it shuts off throttle inputs a - if you’re braking you’re not wanting to gain speed so fueling is cut to a minimum to save using fuel, and b - if you panic and catch both pedals when stomping on the brakes, it stops you going full throttle into whatever it is you’re trying to avoid hitting.

Have you tried another ecu?

I’ve seen worse.

Used to see loads of these on German eBay.

Since when did you come back on here?! Must be selling summat...

Linco = Local ECP

Drain out the factory spec green power steering fluid and replace it with the red equivalent.

Yup

Just a quicky, have you tried the new lsv not connected to the axle? Just moving it on it’s owm but connected to the loom obviously, and seeing what happens?

Which suggests to me that if you’re only struggling to get communication with the headlamps then there is a problem with just that system, which is why they’ve dropped. So I’d be checking out wiring visually to start with. The lights work so there is no issue there, ͏You can hear the motors buzzing away so they must be working, it’s possible (but extremely unlikely) that both headlight tilt mechanisms have stripped simultaneously, but I really really doubt it. You’ve fitted a new lsv for your lights on the back axle so that should be fine, so you need to focus on the wiring that connects the 2 together. If you can reestablish comms to the headlights I’d imagine you’d get your beam level back. You need to find the cable that goes from the lsv to the headlights and check that condition first, if it’s getting a false or no signal it will just go to one of two extremes depending on the value it’s getting, either facing the floor or blinding commercial flight pilots. I’d not worry about ground points but just check the wiring from the back to the front, it’s even possible that the exhaust had melted the cable.

Avy

I’d be starting with eliminating the communication errors as it’s most likely one or more of those that’s causing your fault.

You should be happy with your knob and not look elsewhere. Gti knobs are the best anyway!

Just looked back at your thread, it really was a good looking example!!

Tbh I think it was ruined when you started putting it in track mode, was perfect before that! Shame the current owner has just pulled it to bits tho.

I’ll have a look in my shed.

Any change in suspension needs to be declared, coilovers, air, lowering springs etc. Same as changing the appearance of the vehicle, so wheels, bodykits, Interior. If it’s fitted and not declared you may as well not bother insuring it at all.

No.

If the battery has enough ooomph to crank the engine it should have enough to fire up the stereo, I’d say it’s more of a wiring/connection fault, down the road it jumps around and sparks up the radio.
