Usually if a pedal box goes tho you get a fair bit of prior warning before it gives up.

Thing is with silicone, one of its main selling points is it’s flexible when dry, so you may not be any better off, but tbh once it’s all repair I doubt you’d have any issues for a good few years. Alternatively you could just not refit the strips?

I think the minor jiggling of the strips rubs against the gutters and allows to water to get under the paint, the only way to stop that I guess would be to hold the strips in locked solid with some kind of permanent bonding agent.

They just pull out. They’re held in place by tapered rubber/metal strips, so if they’ve not been removed they may take a bit of piggling out. And it depends on the spread of the bubbling, but I’d say a sprayer would want to do the whole roof coz it’s be tricky to blow it in across the roof.

Remove gutter runners, sand down passed oxidation and respray I’d imagine.

Gearbox/clutch side then.

If it’s like the gti it’l be offside next to the chassis leg near the inner wing.

Isn’t P0441 to do with that charcoal canister for vapour fumes? I’d be checking that out first.

It’s still for sale.

Replace the door.

So they don’t go up at all, or they go up and then slide down by themselves under their own weight, or the motor pulls them back down again?

I don’t do innuendo.

They look like up! wheels.

He does pitch a good ⛺️.

That’s wierd, mine went through last month with it on the dash.

Repairable but insurance will probably want to write it off.

Didn’t think eml came into it anymore?

It’s a vw branded unit, it wouldn’t be a big deal if it was just a generic head unit that plays minidiscs. Fun fact though, Sony did produce them.

I’ve already made him aware of the work around for such things.

I don’t understand the question.

Yup, and Rich is a little cross because he’s only just realised someone he knows has had one for some time, so his search has picked up the pace somewhat.

You wouldn’t get it because you’re either too young or too old. Also, the authentic vag minidisc player is pretty rare, it’s not necessarily the format, although that is pretty awesome, but the eclusivity of the head unit that is what all the fuss is about. Kinda like the golf/Passat rear bench fully intergrated kids booster seats, but apparently even rarer than that.

Did it come with a minidisc player?

Well impressed iPhones know what minidiscs are!
