Front Wishbones bushes separated
30 seems a bit expensive for the bush only, you can use a hammer to do it or a vice if you know what your doing.

Car failed MOT brakes - question
Looks like the MOT tester doesn't know what he's doing.

Car failed MOT brakes - question
Some brake pads have metal wear indicators so that when the pads become excessively worn the metal indicator touches the disc making a squealing sound. Other pads may have a cut, which if worn away indicates that the pad must be replaced. An illuminated brake wear indicator is not a reason for failure!

Service reminder
Depends if it's the inspection or oil service, I think you need diagnostic equipment to do the inspection one.

Hello Everyone!
I'm sure you'll have no problems doing it. Just make sure you have a full day aside, start it early and take your time.

1.4 diesel flywheel failure
There was a problem with the dmf so vag converted them back to smf. Probably caught some wiring or crankshaft sensor when installing.

Kangaroo, Start/Stop & Fuel Economy - Am I going mad?
I found the 1.4 TSI non act nicer to drive, I have 2020 1.5.tsi just feels very boring and uninspiring. Economy is very random too sometimes 38 and then others over 60mpg.

Head Gasket failure?
It's going to overheat if you take the cap off when hot. The system is under pressure and coolant can be 120 degrees so as soon as you take the cap off it will boil at normal atmospheric pressure. Check thermostat isn't stuck closed and might be worth getting a new coolant cap. Is it tuned? They can suffer from head lift under higher boost.

Hello Everyone!
Good luck, they are very delicate, even the smallest dust can block up new injectors.

1.4 diesel flywheel failure
You couldn't buy the dmf in the past, the fix was a smf, ns driveshaft and an ECU remap. Surprised you got hold of a dmf for it.

What’s wrong with my brake fluid?
They always have some grey sludge or crusty stuff in. Dealer probably didn't remove that filter and clean it out.

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6s on a 2021 2.0TSI
Tyre manufacturers these days take advantage of the law and make the tread not as thick on the edges.

Evap tube connection
You usually replace the full lot with sensors and valve etc, depending where it is broken you can fix with quality tape.

Washer bottle pump/s
It's fun when the grommet falls into the washer bottle 🤣

Minimum brake shoe material thickness (Felicia)
Usually the parking brake is in the sky before the shoes fail, the wedge adjuster maxes out and you can't get any more.

Noise from both LHS (? top mount area) and steering motor
Depending on the miles I do I usually change mine 2x per year, can't do any harm. Before the bad weather and then 6 months later. Turbos used to last forever and now they fail all the time, not just the engine relying on the oil.
