Wow! Three weeks! What was the biggest or most exciting job undertaken on your tour?
Ooo, tricky question with no one answer...
This was the first tour during which I offered Depronman Remaps, so adding a few extra horses to various TDIs was good fun. My thanks go to Paul (Depronman) for writing a very good universal map.
I arrived on a London street expecting to do a routine CCCU replacement and found that the gremlins in the central locking ran much deeper. It was very satisfying to finally open a door that had seemingly been permanently locked closed and then get the car working properly again.
One A2 had a suspected broken heat exchanger in the climate control. I have never known an A2 heat exchanger leak before and, as things turned out, this one was also just fine, but accessing it for assessment was real fun and games! The loss of coolant was eventually discovered elsewhere, but this was probably the single biggest job of the tour.
One lucky A2 now has a custom, unique retrofit that I'm not yet ready to publish, but those going to the Welsh social will get a sneak preview. I had been working sporadically on this one-off for about two years, so finally fitting it into an A2 and seeing it work perfectly was the single most satisfying moment.
Cheers,
Tom
