You're right there. I got a scratch on the rear bumper of my ST two weeks after I got it and it's now covered in numerous stone chips and parking dinks, but at the end of the day it's only a car and if I was really that bothered I could spend money on getting them sorted. For me though, a car is a tool for getting from A to B and if I can have some fun in the middle then so much the better, but there's more to life than just cars.flashbsd said:
Heres the part numbers from seat and prices, you'll need the sensor, O ring and clip....

I had VAG COM done on it and i got this fault code
17965 - Charge Pressure Control: Positive Deviation
I think that was linked with the air leak but the other fault code i dont have but i know it said temperature sensor, intermittent or something!
I should be able to have a look on VAG COM tonight and see what its saying
Oh and my rear speakers were showing some fault but thats ok as i think its related to my sub and amp
Take up two spaces when parking your car, that way you wont get any parking dings. Thats what i do, people get pi**ed off with it but saves me having to spend £40 getting dings taken out the door

You'll not be able to tell by inspecting in visually, either VAGCOM (Which you said already has the fault code) or trial and error swapping it....
Yeah IIRC its pull out and plug new one in.....
And as said do it when the car is cold.....first thing in the morning etc....

Started that when i got me new car
People always look at me funny when i get out....i just smile
Cupra 200bhp said:
Thats a good idea!
I have done that a coupe of times, obviously space dependant
andythom said:
Is first thing in the morning the only time to do it? Could i do it at a lunch?
It would have been sitting for about four hours?
Yeah i just park where no one else likes to park i.e. few minutes walk from a shopping centre or last floor on multi storey car park etc (Watch when parking in them tho i got a ticket and had to pay for two spaces in Leeds but was worth it imo)
but was worth it imo)CupraTgirl said:

if any coolant leaks you don't want burned

Quality
I know how you feel mate, I really do - I had several occasions when I owned the scoob when felt exactly the same. The solution I always found that worked best was once it was all running right to take it for a good ole fashioned blast down my favourite roads and remind myself why I fell in love with the car in the first place. Then I'd give it a damn good clean.
I honestly think that if that had ever failed to give me the right "buzz" about the car I'd have sold up on the spot.
Not sure if it'll work for you but I thought I'd share!
cheers,
Andy
