My pupils often confuse the headlights and the stalk will be on full beam position but just the dipped headlights are on. When this happens you can’t turn them off or anything until the car is turned off and the drivers door opened. Also something I’ve had recently is my dash cam not powering...

Might be able to pop in for 5 mins..

I changed the waterpump because it was screaming its head off not because it was leaking or anything! Yes, 3 batteries because that seemed to ‘fix’ the issue. That’s when I started looking deeper into the issues and started taking note of when the issue would flare up. It became apparent it...

I use mine for teaching people to drive so I do 80% stop start driving. I’ve just got a standard battery, nothing special apart from it being an AGM. Mine doesn’t have start stop as it’s an early ph1. I’ve changed the water pump but touch wood not had any issues with thermostat. Modern cars...

The TCM doesn’t require the gearbox to be removed, it’s on the outside of the gearbox casing as are the motors. I do agree with you that these cars do suffer from an electrical issue but what or where that issue is I’m not exactly sure and unfortunately don’t have the time to spare to trace...

Depending on where the OP lives (I’m guessing Australia) $4k is about £2k. £2k for the TCM + programming at a dealer probably isn’t too far fetched.

Am I the only one who likes the new R5? Has anyone bought an R-pass?

I’d go with Adeys suggestion tbh!

Hi and welcome! Nice to see another Mk4 owner join!

Can you take a picture of the battery? Any other symptoms?

Yep! Been there done that got the Tshirt. Mine would throw up check auto gearbox when the ambient temperature was high. A new TCM solved my issues with the gearbox.

More than likely. I’d put a tenner that if you change the battery your problem will disappear…

Are you sure it’s transmission fluid?

Press either of these, if you’ve got RS monitor it’ll come up.

I keep a stash of puncture pictures in case I ever need a couple of hours off 😂

Ah bugger, I’m working 😢.

They do funny things if you over fill them apparently… might need recalibration via CLIP.

Ed’s a good elf isn’t he 😊

Can you get us permission to go round the track at lunch or at the end of the day??

Dates saved 👌🏼 Have you booked the sunshine yet @Sunglasses_Ron ? Will @SunglassesStan and @alfiecole be in attendance too?

The second one in from the right looks odd/different… is it or is it just the angle of the photo?

I wouldn’t mind betting that it’s not clutch slip they’re detecting - even though that’s what it feels like. Every so often (haven’t worked out a defining factor yet) on a flat out acceleration mine will pull the power which feels like the ecu detecting slip and pulling the plug. Doesn’t do it...

Mine still came up perfect even after 18 months of abuse, hand washing by me and by the local car wash..! I was so pleased with the Carbon Collective I used it again when I got my wheels refurbed.

Nice job but why does the attachment in the second post after talking about switching wipers on show 2 mk2 Clios? https://cliosport.net/attachments/213741/

Genuine gearbox oil smells like salted caramel 😋 As Daz says, someone’s been there with a poor quality jubilee already!

Naww, Erik tries his best to keep his kennel clean and tidy I’m sure!

Hi 👋🏼 mines the shabby looking yellow one 😂

Okay… usually those gaskets are single use and weep if not changed.

Did you replace the turbo gasket?

Another minor milestone hit on the way to CSF last weekend 😁. After a fabulous day at Anglesey I headed off across the water for a short break in Ireland which added another 800 miles 😂
