Rear Brake Question
When you push them back, clamp the hose and undo bleed nipple and collect the used excess fluid rather than allow it to travel back through the braking system. Top up with clean fluid.

Glad it’s all sorted.

Sludge in expansion tank
Do you think it’s burning oil to produce the blue smoke? Rings and guides could be worn possibly too.

Removal of damaged locking wheel nut
Agreed. The set I quoted was only to give an example really I thought £12:99 from a retailer that you could get immediately was a possibility to consider rather than pay £30 from a tyre depot. Having used the kit you could sell it on and recover a few pounds too should you decide you are unlikely to need it again.

Removal of damaged locking wheel nut
Something like these? Not tried them myself but may be worthwhile considering if they are a suitable size. https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/masterpro-wheel-nut-and-stud-removal-tool-set-538771521?type=shopping&gclid=CjwKCAjw1K75BRAEEiwAd41h1Mll_MbVKpc_aWViveVp-F9sxp7w9LN1FwEWGsjpMNw-DS3L-yyRjRoC0bQQAvD_BwE

TDi Tuning box
Just for information, I have had a Bluespark tuning box fitted to a 1.2TSI for 6+ years. I did not want to remap my car during warranty for obvious reasons but I knew a remap would be the better option overall. My car was one of the last special offer types that came with only the 63kw option unlike the test drive 105 BHP car. Never had an issue and it makes the car so much more flexible with the extra bit of low down torque. I don’t thrash it or use the engine as a boy racer might. I did think I might get a proper remap but I now do not see the point as it makes the car suit my driving style. I told my insurance company and it only added £20 to my premium so not a big deal. I can of course Remove it if I sell the dog kennel and sell the box on eBay and recoup a few quid no doubt, or ask Bluespark to program it to suit my next vehicle should I be inclined, unless of course I go all electric. So, not advocating anyone getting one or the other, just giving my own reasons and experience with a tuning box. Discuss....😄

1.2tsi engine 86 to 105
One is CBZA and the other is CBZB engine. Not checked the difference but google may help you. You can of course tune your engine by a map or Tuning box such as Bluespark or similar.
