Alright showoff

When I moved from my Synergie to the Dispatch I thought about this, and took the electronic motor from the Synergie door. Looked pretty straightforward and if I remember rightly the trigger actually came from the door mechanism itself rather than a central computer or whatever

Wiring like you ay, I've never seen any sign of it in mine. And you'd need to swap the contacts on the sliding door that make contact when you close it

I'll be interested to see how you get on with this

Yea I've had those return pipes perish on various of my vehicles over the years so it's not a bad idea to replace them

I guess it depends what you define a Mk to mean. I believe the convention is that the 2004 change is a face lift, and I'd agree with that

Post-2007 it's a whole new body

Agreed it could be the fuses, but you could confirm it by checking the voltage at the starter motor when you're turning the key?

I don't thin that's an adjuster, it just clamps the three cables together

The rubber strap just suspends it from the body. You're lucky yours is still attached, mine has decided it likes being separate 

According to Wikipedia (which corroborates that RHY is the 8 valve 89hp engine) the DW10ATED4 is engine code RHW with 108hp

When you say according to the VIN, what's that looked up on?

Firstly, good to see a new Mk1 on the forum. Glad to see it's getting looked after.

I wonder how much the fuel cooler is needed. Maybe it is, my experience is with the 1.9Ds so I've never had one but it might be worth looking into how bad it is to not have one

Isn't it on the return line rather than the feed? I'd have thought that makes things matter less. Like I say though I know nothing

They discuss it here: https://frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/view … hp?t=25939

There's one here on eBay from a C8 which is a very similar vehicle: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/267188094799

In my former van I had oil bubbling up to my expansion tank and in my case it was the oil cooler. I replaced it and it was fine since. But by god did it clog things up. I flushed out the coolant about 7 times and it still had residue.

My heater matrix never worked well since - only getting warm air if the engine was at decent revs

The only places the coolant gets close to the oil is like you say the oil cooler and the head gasket. Obviously we have to hope it's not the latter but without evidence of an issue with the oil cooler I can't think of another possibility

Are you losing oil over time?

When I originally replaced my power hungry incandescent bulbs for efficient LEDs I also hated the cold light of LEDs

I now use the original light fittings with panels of warm white LEDs which gives me a nice bright interior with a warm (2700K?) ambience

I've had luck with this, they even gave me the part number

What's the definition of insanity again? Good luck, hope you have as much fun with the T5
