His lupo was nicer for sure!

If you were on my insta you’d have plenty of me, and my camera collection is still a mk4 short...

You could’ve damaged the wiring that’s connects to the sensor, or the sensor itself maybe corroded out, and you faffing with the thermostat has been the final straw, I’d replace the coolant temp sensor, cheap, easy.

She’s a northern bird, if she knew me back then she’d just take me by force!

If you like?

I do have skills I must say, and I am fabulous, although I feel you are just verbally licking my sack so that I unblock you from my contacts. However, I still haven’t received my 5d4 yet...

Well that was a given, you can’t get enough of me can you!!

Not surprised, looked a minter!

I don’t get what the issue is, it’s a TRP, it’s not gonna be a next day thing. You think that’s bad then don’t get a merc. Please. Or any other manufacturer for that matter. The key is predominately the gateway to the car and to its mobility, no way are they gonna start firing them out left, right and center as soon as some numpty waves a flag saying ‘oooh I’ve broken/lost my only key, can I have another??’ They’d much rather take the hit of some jumped up git saying customer service is abismal, rather than several hundred court cases were they’ve dished out keys willy nilly to some pikey and some poor goon has had his car swiped. You said it’s at risk of being towed and were given a perfectly good option by rich in order to get you out of trouble and then you say it’s in a safe place and disregard the suggestion, you are now jumping down the throat of several other members, none of which really have any obligation to give you any information whatsoever, so leave these people to it and pipe down until you can sort out your own mess. It’s obvious you’re not gonna get the outcome you want from this thread. Hope you get it sorted promptly...

Well done richud.

My helpful comment would be to suggest he look on comparison sites, some have these black boxes that the insurance companies fit to the car which brings down the quote, look into doing a pass plus course, this also drops the premium, or finally if he can’t afford the ridiculous insurance premiums all kids are stung with today then get his dad to insure it and make him a named driver.

Isn’t that just standard now?

Dunno what you lot are on about. £100.

So what’s the fault? It’s only working on the fourth setting still even after fitting a new resistor? Or the heating is actually not working?

Coolant temp sensor is a common fault so possibly not related, the earth connection should be to the n/s chassis leg in the engine bay, easy to locate, it’s possible your regulator brushes are wearing out I’d guess if your alternator isn’t charging your battery and your instrument cluster isn’t doing it’s own disco act on you.

Needs a price Mr. Jones.

Come on rich, sort it out!

And yours is silver. I have nothing against gold wheels in general. But with red it doesn’t appeal. There was a lovely lupo with gold wheels a while back.

Yes but your lupo is black.

You thought a tdi mk1 tt was a good idea but a tdi Fox was a terrible one, your opinion is void.

About time, now he needs to sort the gold wheels!!

That’s the correct punchline.

Snap.

Jb weld it. Surprised a pin hole in a pipe emptied the system over the road.

Water pump gone? Spat the belt off? Would explain steam, pool of liquid on the floor and loss of steering. Check your belt is still fitted.
