There has been another purchase recently. But keeping that under wraps for now.
That is a bit odd about the gear oil. Did you try to poke up into the drain hole?
Think you might be on the money with the silt thought, recon it's never been changed and you have a large build up at the bottom.
I've always been able to drain gearboxes cold.

I like the coolant vacuum thing, but how does it go about the thermostat?
Wouldn't that need to be open to get coolant everywhere?

I.C.E & Electrical / Re: ME7.5 ECU pin out
Rubjonny has written a brilliant guide on the Club GTI forum.
I've used it for 3 conversions now and it's been spot on...

You guys do so much for the club as it is.
Is there anything we can take off you to help?

I've had various dealings with them over the years and they've usually been good with me.
Admittedly I've only had to change one bumper that got delivered damaged around 15 years ago!

Engine & Gearbox / Re: Strange Noise After Exhaust Partial Replacement
It might be that your front engine mount is failing, allowing the engine to swing back and touch the bulkhead?

Technical / Re: Rev counter issues
Ohh, while I've not had a CE1 with that issue, I have had a CE2.
It was after a stalk swap, I can't remember if the stalk was faulty or if the connector wasn't pushed in all the way.
Either way, I'd start there, have the connectors in and out and see if that changes anything.

Technical / Re: Rev counter issues
That's correct, a diesel alternator usually has an additional "W" output to run a rev counter.
That then goes to A2/6 as per below...

(I'm assuming you have a CE2 setup)

@AndyBa haha yeah and sleep under the stars 😂 that mk2 bench was surprising comfy! I will have to see if I can find my tent if not I will be on marketplace too!
Just saying, a hotel room is probably cheaper than a tent...comes with a toilet and shower too!
