Guest Dave Hartnell Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Yeah I have had all of the above, took me the best part of Saturday and Sunday. I still have to put the bottom of my dash back together and refit the drivers seat as I'd had enough by Sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest username Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 haha sounds right fun, fingers crossed our Mk5 doesn't reward our re-commissioning work with a game of "guess when you have to double-declutch" then! Remember my old Mk4 used to do that trick every now & then, not enough to make me climb under the dash though haha had enough of that kinda fun to last a lifetime, changing the clutch master cylinder on a mate's old E-Class!

Vincygav Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Changed them over many times, it wasn't that bad. Had other jobs on the car doing that were a fucking nightmare, like setting the timing chain tensioner etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
