Yeap mate! I was out of the country so... the pump was 150 euro and the timing belt including labour was 370 euros.. Sorry about prices being in euro but i do not have a currency converter on the phone yet... [Note to self: Download one!]

Today I drove my Leon 240 miles to collect a front bumper from Cupraslayer who offered me his spare after pranging mine into a local badger.
Car was god as gold until the rear door decided it doesn't want to open any more
On the bright side I did have some fun with an Impreza on the way home (Only a non turbo sadly)

Left it a bit late but started to replace my air vents with the illuminated versions, so far got mine removed, glove box out and pulled through a homemade loom - bring on the longer daylight hours!!!!!!!!
Picked up my new leon, went straight round a friend's house and brought his 550 injectors and a few other shiny bits ready for modding

Had the same issue with my right rear door, I was unable to open it from outside, cable was fine, was connected to the lock but the lock itself was not engaging an internal lever. The door could be opened from inside though. Faulty door lock module, apparently quite common across the VAG range.
Relatively easy to fix, took me about an hour.
Mine seems to pride itself on being a PITA, the doors double lock, you can hear it doing it twice but when you open the doors with the fob it only clicks once, when you try opening the door from the outside it won't open as the door pin's down, If you pull the handle from the inside the door pin raises but as soon as you let the door handle go it goes straight back down again and also it won't open from the inside or outside even with the handle pulled, the key fob's not worked since I bought the car and would set off hazards when opening the doors or the boot (apparently the key fob won't disarm the immobiliser until the key's in the ignition by which point the alarm's having a hissy fit.
The car's starting to get on my nerves but as soon as I drive it it's ok again
I've tried a scanner on it to find any codes but it keeps coming up Link Error so I'm guessing it's not talking to the part it needs to
Damn car's, who'd have them lol

Cleaned the inside, outside later.
Then I think she'll be up for sale. I'm upgrading for a 150 tdi or maybe a cupra if one should happen to pop up at a good price.
I would post pictures but in haven't made 15 posts yet
