Adolf the Golf
Octoparrot:
Yes replace the bearing, cured my issue. What happens is the magnetic ring rusts, swells and breaks up sometimes wearing the end of the sensor away.
mjmallia:
The rings are removable/replaceable but there are two sizes of rear bearings so need to remove stuff to find out which one your car is fitted with. TPS and dealer do not know when looking up the car.
I replaced my magnetic rings a few years ago due to them falling apart and bring up error codes........fine ever since.
A lot cheaper than a bearing if it is still good, as paid about £8 for a ring..........dont ask me what size I got, as can not remember :thinking:

Thanks all..I have it in my head to replace the suspension and bushes etc so new bearings are on the list, already done the shocks and dampers after all...ever expanding! Be nice to stop firefighting and do some cosmetic bits too soon! Have crusty front wings, one rear arch too plus 4 of the worst refurbished wheels ever! Lol...me and a mate looked and we don't think the did anything but sand down the old bubbles of white worm and spray over them..oh well...from 50 paces Adolf looks the tits still in my opinion

So Monday off of work and time for an oil and filter change...did buy an oil suction device but it was useless...had to get under to swap the filter anyway I suppose! Also gave it a good wash and polish for good measure. Always seems odd polishing a rusty pair of wings! Tried to fit the 2nd hose for the PCV but no joy...it is an utter pain to do when under time pressure. Also two new front tyres...Pirelli P7s...nothing special, but have a set of 17s that might end up shod with something stickier..

So I did the thermostat..wow. Wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy, utter nightmare of a job. Alternator out was bad enough really, but then everything seemed to fight back. The good news is while I was there I did the bigger PCV hose as I had no skin on any knuckles anyways! The fabulous news is it now sits at 90 degrees on the gauge and the car runs better all round! As I disconnected the battery I am struggling to get the steering angle sensor to reset with the old left, right, centre method..can't clear it with OBDeleven either..well its off to Fastfit for tracking on Friday and if I haven't got round to it by then it can be on their to do list! I think before Le Mans I might try to fit some Lothian wings to tart the old boy up a bit...then I gotta find somewhere to redo the wheels. They have looked sh*te from the day I got it. Seems silly to throw tyres on sh*tty wheels but needs must!
