Today I fitted up some replacement tail light seals, thank you Stefcio007.
Removed the leads and plugs and fitted new plugs.
Went to fit the leads but they are wrong and for a passat, so getting swapped for correct ones on Monday.
Then I fitted a replacement TCM and tested the heatercore for leaks with a garden hose.
Not one drop of water in the cabin. Think I may be lucky!
I've ordered some T pieces and some hose to modify the coolant hoses to suit an automatic transmission, a lead removal/install tool and a replacement airbag controller.
Once these parts arrive, I will be able to fit, put the car back together and do a road test.
Then I think I'll be doing a gearbox service and replace the sump gasket and plug while I'm there.
Hoping that is all it needs, with the exception of some replacement panels as they become available.
Happy days

Yep. They're all identical.
In the 6 cyl rangeComment

These ones have stalks and a much thicker exterior. Look like convoluted tubing. Far too big to fit in the stock plastic engine covers. Sure they may work fine but they are not right for the car.Mk IV Golf GTI - BMP - GIAC chip, R32 wheels, KW coilovers, rear swaybar.
