I'm asking out of curiosity. When stationary in traffic, such as lights, should the transmission remain in D or be moved to N? My aunt has a 1994 Merc C220 and if in D, it will creep forward if the brakes aren't applied which in my opinion strains the car. From a YT video, it said an...

Fixed! A broken wire (nipped) on a multiplug that plugs to the torque control pcb. Lidl didn't have any in stock for exchange and for what I've used the impact wrench to date, its preformed well.

Parkside brand from Lidl. Got it earlier this year and has been fine and dandy. Started using it today and squeezing the trigger, its start/stop in both direction although if I slide the forward/reverse back and forth a bit, I can get a bit of spin. Battery has a full charge. Anyone had this...

Having considered the application, some reinforced plastic pipe, about 11mm o/d, nipped and pushed in, will be suitable.

Its an over the bath square shower curtain rail. An old Wilko brand product. It has inserts that reinforce the rail joints but they're all broken so I'm trying to source some fluted bar (if that's what its called) to repair the joints. The bar fits into oval tubes 9mm x 12mm. The photo shows...

Noted, thanks.

The radio sound is a bit 'tinny', its lacks base compare to the other clock radios I have so thinking of getting a better speaker for it. What is a good sound range for a small speaker (2" diameter) to give a decent base sound?

If of interest, a YT video for a similar belt change quotes these torques.

Regarding the water pump, I presume its replaced it as with VWs when fitting a new timing belt. The Gates belt kit includes the pump whereas the Ina offering is only the belt and tensioner, the pump being a separate offering.

Then VW come along with their stretch volts so its torque + 90°. Anyone read the official tightening sequence for the drive shaft nut on a Bora TDI?

For the water pump, I'd say 5Nm since that's was official for the water pump when I did my Bora TDI belt change. I inquired on the Forum website so perhaps I'll get feedback. Also need to establish if the shafts need to be locked before the belt comes off. Its a single cam so not too complex...

2019 reg 356 1.4, 843A1000 code Since its @ 48k miles and the recommended change is 54k miles, I need to prepare to do the change. Can any Tipo experts quote the torques and special tools needed please? Will likely fit a Gates belt kit. I've had Gates part no KP15503XS-2 quoted to me.

I've discovered that the clock radio has both DAB and FM. I changed to FM and the station I listen to is spot on. From what I've learnt here about DAB broadcasts, I now know why the other DAB radio I have out in the garage keeps loosing the station.

Managed to get one via ebay from a breakers yard in bonny Scotland. Had to spray paint the cover but all is well.

Went to a local motor factor and got a set of NGK.
