Hmm I used to be determined NOT to end up like a Geek when reading Physics at uni... like those saddos who would write poems based on 'Pi' or make jokes laced with engineering metaphors  :sick:  However, I've always envied the fact that I couldn't really relate subjects like Quantum Mechanics to everyday applications like you guys can.   :sleepy: :sleepy:   

Ooooops sorry, put myself to sleep there  :grin:  My mechantronics unit was dodgy from the start and after a year of putting up with it - kangeroo hops at low speeds - I had it replaced under warranty.

Which is preceded by 'throw code at microprocessors...'  :grin:

Mmmn, embedded RTOS... or in my case, simple loop  :rolleye:

@Illyun, jokes laced with engineering metaphors?

Car has gone in today, although nearly didn't as they told me they wanted to put 50 miles on the car testing it... :angry015:

So it's in... :confused:
Cheers,

My eee degree specialisations had more stuff in embedded and comms, but I was interested in the mecha stuff. I sat through about four lectures before my brain gave up :rolleye: all I know to do is throw microprocessors at stuff :P

Well it's back home in the garage... :happy2:

1/4 tank fuel used and 41 miles on the clock.  :chicken:

Had a bit of a blast on the way home, but I did notice it didn't change down when I thought it would, so will see how goes tomorrow morning on the run to work... :wink:

Service Manager cleaned the car himself too :happy2:

No blobs or crumbs under the seat VC... :rolleye:

Cheers,

Wayne

Mechatronic units run for around £4k as I recall. Not sure if VW will replace one out of warranty (which I am - 82k miles!). Marvellously complex things.. I sat in on some mechatronics lectures in uni, crazy complex stuff. Cool for building robots.

£4k is for the whole DSG box, the mechatronics unit with software is a bargain at £1110 !!  :wink:  :laugh:
