Now at airport …. Taxi was an immaculate Superb L&K with 190k on the clock !

Thanks guys says G13 on the tank and apparently the Halfords stuff is G13 spec. Would usually only use Skoda stuff but Sunday and flying in early hours beggars can’t be choosers…. Also notice a very slight white deposit around the header filler…. Could be nothing seems to be sealing ok..

No problem and a good result ! Looking forward to happier posts when you get the new beast ! oh and welcome to the forum It’s a great bunch on here !

Damn its a coolant leak ….. Not enough to drip onto the drive but the dark patches are coolant all right …. Not going to risk the airport run in it …

Got the coolant will stick it in and keep an eye on it.

Going to get the g40 looks like it’s G30 vw spec.

Mmm according to halfrauds online checker it needs G40 !

Always happens ! Flying to Canaries tomorrow morning just popped out for a coffee and low coolant warning starting car ….. it’s about 8mil below minimum. Im going to call into Halfrauds on way home for a bottle of coolant to top up anyone confirm what I need ? All car parking booked so then have to decide if we should call and change reg then go in the Mrs’s i10 … Yuk ! Grrr !

One of those threads where the op asks for help then just vanishes ?

How did it go ?

Think that’s what the poster above said but I’ve started typing now so too lazy to look haha ! let us know if it works I always find a bit of lube works wonders ! 😂

Damn … I thought mine was starting again but it must have been a rogue squeak … Have you tried the spray fix ?

No course not £430, full component cover. zero excess, 10k a year car currently on 45k.

Well that’s me signed up for my 8th warranty year ! I did wonder if the car would be too old …

I tried WD40 made zero difference !

Yeah on mine might get my Humbrol Matt Black out 😆

Pretty much from day one I've had that kind of oxidised mottled white look on the roof bars. I've never used dodgy stuff to clean the car so unless it was done on the PDI I've no idea what has caused it. I suspect I'm not alone .... I've pretty much tried everything to get rid including stuff like Solvol on a small section but to no avail. Has anyone had any luck with anything or is it just an inherent quirk of the material ?

it is fixable … at least my dealer managed to fix it and it’s not come back yet … now been years. They did the grease initially but then changed something that sorted it. I may or may not have posted what they actually did it’s now that long ago I can’t remember !

I'll have a go at this tomorrow !

Is this the same as the boot door ? 😆

Ouch no advice apart from it's not going to be cheap and to offer my commiserations ! However an excellent excuse to call off the wedding so silver lining !! 😆

I've had a 400SE ( TVR ) and a Dax Cobra you never really get rid of the V8 itch just kind of put it on hold 😆

I've been working on the Mrs for this swap for a few years but no luck so far 😞 Would be the convertible thought for me.

I've been dropping hints that the Mrs should get a facelift for years 😐
