Tom's China HDi DTurbo 2014

[Toms306]

Cable was brand new Peugeot when I did the clutch in 2012, so shouldn't be much wrong with it. Not sure how heavy it is tbh as the Golf is RIDICULOUSLY light so i'm not much of a gauge anymore. The fork bush had no play in when I did the clutch, but that little rat bastard pin wouldn't come out for love nor money. Gearbox and linkages are a good move tbh, plus I guess you will stick the lower mileage injectors in.

Don't remember any lacquer peel on the bonnet, but there are some heavy stone chips and a few stone dings from a dump truck about 6 years ago that decided to shower me (drove past 2 quarries every day). :S

At the end of the day, most of the above didn't matter too much to me as I just turned the stereo up and continued to pile miles on it haha.

It's not so much heavy as 'stiff and notchy' (oo err!). Makes the 1.8 one feel hydraulic, so smooth and slick in comparison! Will leave the cable then, that saves some hassle! I'm getting pretty quick at 'box and clutch changes on these now tbf lol. Will also stick the lower mileage coolant heater in as well, as the plugs in yours will be well past their best by now haha. As for injectors, not for now, it looks as though 2 of the ones on the breaker were leaking pretty bad! It might have been the washers rather than the injectors themselves, but as said will leave yours for now. Oh and the low mileage starter as well while I'm there lol.

The lacquer peel is around those chips, just where the water gets in once the paint has been broken really. It's just one of those little annoyances really lol.

Tbh, once I've tidied up these things, I probably wont touch it again for a while, just use it, fill it and clean it!
