    Aircon arrived today, should be fun to fit...
    Anyone have any images of aircon setup, even how the compressor sits in the engine bay?

    Cheers

    Would that depend on what brand it is? I should get the Golf back on Friday and if no one else has helped you out with pics I will take some. This is what ours has-

    Bought some Mk3 steelies a few weeks ago. Decided to spray them up today. Not sure whether to put the silver lips on or not..?
    Anyone recommend some tyre width options? Prob end up getting some spacers to push them out a bit too.

    most likely you'll go for a 185/60, standard size for that wheel. if you wanted to stance it out and etc etc etc, a 155/55 will be the 'coolest' tyre you could stick on it, AFAIK. (of our selection of readily available tyres in AUS)

    I disconnected the coolant temperature sender and the car runs better than ever, revs and pulls all the way to 6700! (fwiw: a new and old sensor had same issues)

    I don't know why this is the case.

    Nice work Mik. Is that with the New ecu?? Sounds like both the sensors are the wrong one.
