    One of the problems with concrete sectional garages is they are damp. I have one (well it’s part brick and sectional front and rear) and the humidity gets really high and causes problems with rust on my cars. I’m going to try insulating it, sealing it up and running a dehumidifier to control the damp and heat levels. Just wish the person who I bought the house off got the garage done in brick rather than cheaper sectional garage.

    By the looks of it you have a sectional building at the back of the sectional garage. A bit of patience on FB marketplace and you'll probably find the bits to be able to extend them to meet one another, if you so wished.

      @MK2GolfStories well in any event, those sectional buildings are easily changed, assuming you can lay some pad under them, and I sold my entire sectional garage for £200, so many people are glad just to be rid of pieces. You could remove that half piece at the back of your garage and build a timber framed adjoining building out the back of it, make a real decent area out of it.

    Sadly already out of stock Do you happen to have a link to the tune where you can pull out the injector? I have tried so many times pulling them out, but I'm starting to bend the metal pipe above the injector, I am not getting the right force on the right place so to speak

      @MK2GolfStories 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@totte1015 Oh no, I think the guy said he was updating his website. I think heritage parts have them WITH the air shroud, but they’re like £20/30 more per injector. make sure to hold the pipe right under the bend or you can try getting a spanner under the injector and leavening it off the intake manifold. or if that’s doesn’t work, I do the Union and take the pipe off and see if you can get some pliers on the injector (may have to take the inlet manifold off)

    Useful for seeing how to remove this type of trim too! Looks same as my 2015 VW Passat that I suspect is getting dirty start/stop switch contacts. Many thanks for posting :-)

      @@MK2GolfStories I really think the car has had a vr6 conversion in the pass, sub frame and vr6 set up on the front end. An quite possibly hence the power steering parts. I only noticed as the header tank in the wrong place. Did a double take when I see it. Looked closer some dreadful bracket work. As for looms, well, don’t know about new ones. But dubstock or mk2spares must have a decent one of a car they would have stripped. Nothing wrong with repairing what you got. Personally I’d rather work with a stick loom then one that’s been spliced. Just depends what finish your after. Yh a Ford 😂😂

      That’s average price for an “average” 16v golf gti in OK condition (a fair bit of body rust, oil leaks etc), this sadly had more issues than I was lead to believe. My old 16v golf got written off and was valued at £14k
