You were bang on...not a single part of the job went smoothly. I have done engine swaps that went better than that tbh ( not on a mk5 )

If it's any consolation I had the exact same issue! Tried, tried and tried again and it wouldn't clear... I'd started to think there was a bigger issue with the car as it had sat for 18 months before this but I took it out on a decent drive and it cleared while I was driving about :jumpmove:
Did you have any luck?
P.S nice to see another active thread on here :drinking:
Clarky:
Yes as of today I have no warning lights at all!! Haven't been able to say that for a few months too...no abs/traction/tps light and no steering wheel light too! Yay..she is in for 4 wheel alignment ( road biased) in the morning as I can't see a track day happening for a few months now..all it will do is take my boy to football practice and maybe Costco at a push and I don't want it so twitchy if HRH decides to jump in.

Wheels are off for a refurb today. Back to factory with the grey middles and a diamond cut faces. Was tempted by black middles like the mk6, but think the factory look is best. Hopefully be done Friday afternoon ready to be refitted ready to go to Le Mans next week. Also a pair of front wings are coming from the bodyshop and are due Monday all things going well I'll get them on before setting off Thursday morning.

So the wheels came back looking amazing! Had to have the edges rolled as I hadn't noticed but 2 had already been done and it would have looked odd otherwise. Went for the grey middles as per factory rather than black like the MK6's...also 2 new wings from Lothian. All credit to the paintwork . I have a background as a vehicle appraiser before I got to be an auctioneer and was trained to look for poor paint and poor repairs and these are great. The wing isn't VW alignment out of the box but isn't VW money either. A bit of patience and it's as good as the others ever were. For the money you can not go wrong. I think LC9Z is probably a total batch to get right but they did. I also cleaned the living daylights out of the wheel arches before the also cleaned and polished arch liners went back in. Looking good for the roadtrip to Le Mans on Thursday morning!
