Therusterman 59 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Window regulator replacement fail In short a total waste of time. The replacement part barely moved the window up or down. Someone's been here before- Suspected reason for knocking noise I get when the window closes fully- News parts, which were promptly repackaged and returned- To be fair to Volksbits (who supplied the part) they emailed a return form and refunded the money with no quibbles, so they still get a thumbs up from me. The old regulator was refitted after the cables sprang apart from the reel they wind around, and It works well enough for the time being. On a positive note I was able to install some sound deadening material on the door skin- Rear demister button One little touch I preferred from old mk3's I've had was the round style demister button, found one on the 'bay for a couple of pounds- Wonky exhaust Noticed this becoming progressively worse over the past few weeks. The different parts of the exhaust need realigning and one of the hangers could do with replacing but one of the bolts holding it on has rounded off. Because most of the joins on the exhaust have pretty much fused themselves together, trying to free them off lying on your back on the drive is no fun and impossible, unless your the hulk. Next option I'm considering is having an exhaust place refit the system and maybe fit a resonator after the catalytic converter as I'm getting tired of the drone at around 2k rpm. Only other thing to mention is I finally have a working radio! Managed to track down another old skool Sony the same as the one I'm using where everything works, brings my total of cdx-c5000's up to 3 now.
