You're welcome to borrow it if you like. I'm in east Auckland.

Thank you, I think I worked it out and I'm waiting for the courier to arrive.

Thank you, I think I worked it out and as you say it's not a Torx at all. I found a bit similar to your one on the Sulco website. It hasn't arrived yet but the description says it's specifically for VW transmissions.

They look great.

Get some Eagle One NEVR-DULL Wadding Polish.

When I had my RSs, I would use that 1-2 times a year and they stayed perfect.

It is cotton wool with polish soaked in. Makes it easy to polish around the bolts and curves.

Nice pix.

Did you change that pipe under the stars ?

 

They look awesome.

Morning commute today - and we're caught up.

Quick job today to clean up the leaking joint to the heater, and fix. Yeah right 4 hrs later an extra trip to @repconz - really helpful staff at New Plymouth branch as always. The pipe I got was a bit snug and took some cursing to get on but I got there and the rusty pipe is gone.

So clean, but Rusty has given me a job to do. Coolant is leaking from the heater feed hose. Should just be a case of draining the coolant, taking the awkward-to-reach pipe off, cleaning it all up and re-fitting.
