I hope you feel better soon Nick 😁

Thank you! I loved how understated it was 😄

No one else has suggested it, so I'll bite....Did you look into it?! 😝 In all seriousness, I hope it's an easy fix.

I'm going back to a mark 7 Golf GTI. I had one before and loved it, as did my wife. Our toddler daughter no longer requires half of the contents of our house when travelling so the tardis boot is never full anymore! I will miss the ability to look at almost any object and say, "Yes. That will fit in the car!"

Well, I've been offered a trade in price for my 272 SEL Exec that I couldn't turn down. So tomorrow I'm handing over the keys to one of the online trade-in companies. This is not a for sale post, just a heads up for anyone that may be looking for one. I have loved being a part of Briskoda and I'll continue to visit as there is so much knowledge and great support here. If anyone is looking for a 2018 (MY19) business grey 272 estate/combi with 30k miles, full main dealer service history, Canton, reverse camera, spare wheel, LED interior lighting, and Pegasus wheels, keep an eye out online. (I'm using Cazoo). Also, it's one of the few 272s with the exhaust flaps 😉

This may help you 🤞

Just as an additional comment; if you've disabled stop/start, it will not coast. That's the case with my MY19 272. (@Nick_H that's the 272 with exhaust flaps in case you forgot 😝😂)

🤣 Thanks! I didn't want to remove mine if I could avoid it and managed ok. It was fiddly at times but I enjoy a challenge!

Are you able to open your coolant tank and see if there's a silica bag inside? Is the colour of your coolant ok? With the heating only coming out on one side I was wondering if you had a possible coolant blockage from the silica bag failing.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you are well again soon 🤞

I'm glad you got it all sorted out. Something breaking (or going wrong) is always my fear before a long trip! Safe travels and hopefully there'll be a trip log like there was for Italy 😁

The brakes are engine specific, not trim level/Sportline specific.

Someone has pinched your seat 😉 Thanks for the progress report, keep it up, it's great!

I hope you make a full recovery soon. Enjoy your new car when the time comes 😁
