    Got an intermittent flashing glow plug light, which led to a new brake switch fitted myself today,thanks to

    Not impressed with VW techs not picking it up from their fault codes, when it was in for passenger door lock remote locking repair last week.

    Was it flashing when you took it there???? i ask this as the only way they would highlight that is if they did a full data dump which isnt always the case mate. If it was in fact flashing then its the blinkers on syndrome and thats poor, if it wasnt well thats a wee bit different.

    Had a seized A/C fan blower replaced in the Multivan, rather expensive for the new unit $532. Apparently the drain to the heater core was blocked and the water backed up and the shaft in the motor seized. Only symptom was a small high pitch squeal the day previous to it stopping coming from the passengers footwell. We were travelling back from NSW and by the time I got around to searching for the problem a couple of days later the motor had seized. Hoping to get the old one from the repair shop and dissect it a bit to see what happened.

    I confess that I didn't do any thing to My T5 today,other than drive it, however on Wednesday I had some Eibach sports coil springs fitted.
    Talk about chalk and cheese from OEM suspension. It does ride about 30mm-40mm lower, but the ride quality is so much better and very sharp and responsive in comparison to standard Crewvan spec'.

    Will post some before and after pics soon.
    Cheers Tombi

    Don't have a VWCV but we serviced a T5 2.5 TDI 96kW in manual format and I must say these vans are so comfortable to drive in

    Added a Pure Highway DAB+ receiver to the van, as the new Kenwood can't receive AM for some reason. Now I can listen to the local ABC again ...
    Next is to permanently plumb it into the wiring.

    Installed Clarion Blue Tooth (BLT370) which complement my Clarion radio. It is next best thing to the steering wheel control for mobile phone.

    Cool

    The California Cow is going to be made a small beauty ... anecdotally, after some setbacks with radiator hoses and other souflets, we decide to pass in the body and while gratant some puffinesses a hole there was updated in the right car door.
    We ask for the opinion of a coachbuilder who suggests us to change this rotten door ! Finally, he makes us a tempting proposition, we must buy a door, and unstick all and it puts back the body in good condition with a beautiful white veil in more!

    Thus, we do not have more than to find the door and it leaves to the grooming!

    Are we going to redo a Cow ? ...

    Further to the next number
