Dylan8's Vento

[AKA VR6]

Nice wheel Dylan!

Where did it come from? I'm assuming it is an aftermarket replacement for the MK3 that will accept an airbag?

Also curious on where you got it

Its a genuine wheel, yet to confirm what or where its from. Yes to take factory bag.
I imported it, would like to keep where I got it from under wraps as im still keeping my eye out for a different wheel from the same place.

So vento has been kicked from the garage for stus broken beetle and my bora, with a flat (and now non existent) battery its been too hard to do work on where its parked.

Stu tidied up the thread on the mkV R32 sump plug hole, so hopefully along with a new gasket and the r32 oil pickup will go on shortly to solve the last oil leak and get a oil change in since head rebuild.

Still unsure what the deal with the clutch is. is definitely a bent pedal or bent master cylinder.
while doing more research I noticed there is different types of pedal. mine is a flat metal plate, but a lot of photos and diagrams also show a thick mesh (I'm guessing made of plastic) does anyone know what the deal is there?

I really dont want to go buy one or the other and find its not it...

Fixed up the indicator plug that had a dead pin, new parker globe in one headlight, found the headlight reflector was damaged in the same light. Sigh....
Lucky for me, a black Vento got crashed just down the road from me. Raided it today of a new drivers headlight (dunno how it survived as it was a pretty serious front ender) also nabbed a slightly better condition rear bumper, another boot (mine had the tiniest dint), black coolant bottle cap, and a few other things. Was in pretty good condition, shame to see Two ventos dead within 10mins of my house within a week of each other.
Owner got a lesson on vws, and I think she will be back in one as she was pretty happy how it held up. Happy to see some of it live on

Finally soldered in the mk4 reverse sensor.
Pulled the 3rd brake light, more globes blown then working, off to supercheap to get some new ones.
New rear bumper on, makes it look much better without all the flakey paint.
Leaving the new boot off for now ad the car is been left outside under trees.
Window washers hooked up and water in.

List is getting smaller!

Hopefully do the new sump and pick up monday.
