Yeah I’ve seen those, the videos are pretty boring though in my opinionToday I came across some YouTube videos from a channel called Addspower where this chap has bought a TDI 90 as a project car. I really like Akoya Silver but hey, I’m biased!
hope you used leaded solder and a good hot soldering iron or else you will be doing thwe job again in a few years time
Micro switches get the blame but 4 out of 5 times its the solder joints have failed and not the micro switches

I did like the way dim dips faded on and off and they did stop people driving round on sidelights.Been out there a LONG time and still fitted to some cars today. Much better than that 87's fad of Dim-Dip lights.
It's especially people in black or dark blue cars - road coloured cars - that don't use headlights in gloomy conditions, only sidelights, and you see the car before you see that their sidelights are on.I did like the way dim dips faded on and off and they did stop people driving round on sidelights.
Don’t get me started on idiots driving round in the dark these days with NO lights on! ??

An aneurysm! - AndyFound this interesting bulge in the outer sheath of the coolant hose just after the thermostat - can't feel a split underneath but assuming it's been caused by hot water and/or steam leaking from main hose?
