Got my oldskool golf ball gear knob on now, does feel a little odd in the hand, i guess i'm just not used to having a small knob in my hand  

Also fitted LED front indicators and have my armrest to put in this weekend.  

Have booked it in with AMD for the remap!!!   I must stop spending now

Sorry to hijack your thread. I'm having the same issue with the vibration at idle and the wobble at 1k revs. You haven't discovered what it is by any chance. Love the car by the way, really transformed since you first had it. Great colour, but I would say that :)

[tonto83]

As soon as I find out I will. Has your flywheel been ruled out?

[ruffrydaz]

I have a 2.0 gt tdi with the same seat wobble on idle. when the car is Moving it fine.. i thought it was after vw changed the cambelt but they checked and said its fine.
I have intake flap egr and coolant sensor error. Im changing them soon and let you know how it goes.

Some new pics, this time clean but still no Sun!!





Got my armrest installed too, not very hard, just a little time consuming.

Now, any ideas where the best place to get a power cable from the battery into the cabin?

[ruffrydaz]

Some say its just a characteristic of this engine
Vw checked my torsion when i complained and it was 0 - spot on.
nice car btw

Car looks good Daboy

I don't have any problem with seat wobble...2005 '55' GT TDI

[Andy]

if you take the battery and the carrier  ibelieve thier is a grommet thier to push the power cable through

[warrenlord]

wheels look great

I have the same engine mate, did you have any warning signs before it went pop?

[daboy3000]

Not really, maybe a wurring noise when I was crusing on the Mway and AMD said the turbo was a little noisey.  It went into limp mode first but I guess they pushed it till it popped.  I have heard its quite common, might be worth taking out a tesco warranty or similar, £300 warranty would be better than a £1500 bill!!

AMD phoned me today, said the turbo was done and the remap was done but a white van smashed the mirror and drove off when they were test driving it so now AMD will be fitting a new mirror case and glass.  I'm must be jinxed or the car is!!
