Ok, the cause of the water leak(s!) is because the windscreen seal is buggered and the inner door skin is not sealed properly. Because the water has been leaking in so long the airbag ecu needs replaced. Still to here back about the gearbox/clutch noise. I swear I think somebody puts a curse on my cars!!

its beginning to sound like you have a Friday motor.....

IMO, Ross' car is actually one of the better ones. He's just a lot pickier than your average person.

The windscreen leak is pretty bad, but 95% of people would think the rest of his car is mint. He seriously makes it sound worse than it is

I am a nightmare! Extremely picky, and these faults annoy the life out of me. Looking forward to getting the car back up to my standards.

I'd buy a car that's been made well in the first place if I was you then!

I would do, but it's very hard to get a car that has good performance, economy, looks decent, low insurance group and doesn't cost a fortune to buy when your an apprentice!

Cheers again for today man, steering is miles better now!!

 

[ScottHmk4]

how you going about weighing the steering down?

 

[rf860]

No bother, i found it a lot more responsive and the extra weight on the motorway makes the car feel very stable

Scott, it's done via vagcom.

 

[ScottHmk4]

how much values did you alter it by? and can you give me a breakdown of how to do it

 

[rf860]

changed the value up by 2 blocks. Go into the steering assist module and put in the login code (can't remember what the code is, can find it with google) then press recode and change the value.

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Login code we used was 12233

 

[ScottHmk4]

did you do it to yours too ross? did it help?

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

I find it a lot more stable through bumps and odd cambers in the road, also feels a lot more solid changing lanes at speed, noticed a bit less torque steer as well

 

[rf860]

did you do it to yours too ross? did it help?

yeah, its much better

On a side note, when you get a courtesy car, try and not write off the bloody thing!!

 

[killieboy123]

Oh dear! What happened? Hope there's no big injuries.
