Grrrr got a misfire happening again & flashing EML, might need to just buy a new plug & coil pack and go from there  :sad1: Getting fed up of it now. Easy answer is to take it to VW but I can't justify £90 for a scan!

Just ask for a quote to fix  at your dealer they should scan and give you a price to repair you can ask what the fault is before committing to the work !

Unfortunately just the scan costs £90 regardless. I'm booked in at an independent garage through a friend now

It's in the vent by the window. I'll get a pic when I remember. Took a couple of pics earlier just from outside

No I'm not sure who makes them but they look the same. Here's a pic, couldn't get a decent light one with my phone.

Yeah it is. I went through a mobile camera at about 37 in a 30 a while ago. Nothing ever happened, but I was so worried I wanted to get a more accurate speed & warning device.

Winter wheels have finally gone on  :jumpmove: and some NGK spark plugs as well as some sort of injector cleaner. So far there's been no misfire  :grin:

So it's time for an update. Fitted some Climair wind deflectors the other day, and some vanstyle privacy blinds (still not sure on them)





And I have a few goodies now waiting to go on  :party: Also have a wiper blank and boot pop set waiting to go on
