Thinking of breaking...

Got to the point where I need to accept my Arosa is never going back on the road. Too much rot in the wrong areas. Some bits will live on, the engine and box are going into my mk1 Golf, but I would like the rest to carry on being of value to someone else. It's a 1999 Canica Blue 1.4TDi, Bilstein B6's all round, GTi rear axle, Audi TT steering wheel conversion, GTi washer bottle, full set of copper brake pipes for the non ABS model although I used a Polo GTi ABS mastercylinder so the fittings are larger to suit.

Yeah, once it's out, I'd do the chain tensioner. The chain and cogs will be fine from what I've read... And of course, dump the EGR valve and swap for a straight through. Easy mod on the tdi.

They are fixable...

A problem with many vdubs- leccy window switches get rained on when you open the doors, causing the circuit boards to corrode. The oxide stops the power going through. If you carefully open it up, you'll see the little disk that presses onto the circuit board. Under that there is corrosion- the central nipple.

Give that a good clean and reassemble. Maybe add a drop of silicone oil. Actually I think there might be a "how-to" somewhere in the forum.
