I have posted a couple of posts on here and thanks a lot for responses, I have taken on a TT UK Auto, which has been in the family for a good few years, and has been sitting not used for two years, before she was Sorn, she had a new Auto Box fitted new tubs, and is running slightly higher boost. However a took her for a first proper drive over the weekend with the mrs. Expecting to call the AA out!
However firstly my god! :shock: what a drive, I have owned a few fast cars, Civic Type R, Porsche 944 turbo, Intergra DC5, but this is a different level, it is simply relentless power. I found that she behaved well being RWD, and despite the Mrs Thinks its vulgar and a bit boy racer, by the end of the weekend she loves it too!
Anyhow, after a good 200 miles over the weekend the A/C Belt snapped which made the engine so much quieter, as the bearings in something was obviously knackered, and in addition I have the noisiest window wipers in the world which I have located to the plastic sleeve around the window wiper arm pin. so my questions are
I presume that driving her with no aircon belt will be ok? and the AC Compressor spins fine but how much roughly for the pully tensioner thingy to be replaced,
And has anyone had the same problem with the window wipers, and again any idea of cost of a new pin and plastic sleeve? I had the scuttle panel off and it seems like a nightmare job!
