looks like you got the complete brake light out without breaking it into pieces?. Well done  :happy2:

On my list as mine is fooked! Have already rotated the rear wash jet to stop it squirting right up at it!

You also tackling the service over long Easter weekend?

I'll drop the sump and clean the pickup pipe while I'm doing the service.

Replaced the valve cover due to someone stripping out a PCV thread, and also the vacuum pump seal.

£120 in parts and about an hour to fit both.

Does the valve cover come with the bolts? Or are they ordered separately?

A valve cover from VW comes with all the bolts, a new rubber drip ring for the oil filler and a new PCV gasket  :happy2:

Went to sort my leaking rear washer today and discovered some previous owner hackings.

The dimwit cut a section of metal away and also cut a support arm off the wiper motor assembly  :congrats:

This precisely why people steer clear of modified cars.  I now need to buy a new motor and weld a studded piece of metal back on to support the motor.

Has anyone got a picture of what that area is supposed to look like as standard please?

@pudding

There is a reason it has been removed for a previous modification that must have been removed before resale..
