Hard wired my nice new Dash Cam!

Where Napoleons armies marched with horse and musket and Hitlers Reich crumbled in blood and rubble, the warriors of Armageddon do battle against the landscape of hell now indeed thrive the ARMOURERS

Ordered more parts from VW (because I didn't have enough at home waiting to be fitted yet)... This time they're for the timing belt and water pump change. It'll be the first for my Eddie (with 35.500 miles on the clock). :smiley:

Timing belt kit: 06F198119A
Water pump: 06F121011X
Water pump seal: 06A121119
Water pump bolt: N90945002
Oil filter: 06D115562
Fuel filter: 1K0201051K
Cabin filter (charcoal): 1K1819653B
Oil drain plug: N90813202

I want to order two 5L cans of Millers Oils NANODRIVE CFS 5w-40 NT Full Synthetic for both my Golfs but I'm still looking for a local dealer in Portugal. If I'm not lucky, I'll have to order from Opieoils.co.uk, for example.

Boot pop fitted, I got all the parts separate and cost about £60ish, worth it though.

Replaced the cam follower, trying to think of a more appropriate name for the banjo bolt as it is a pain! But once I found the right angle to tackle it, it was easy enough. No history of it ever being replaced on my car but at 104k the wear seemed ok.
