Thanks Dinnu Thumbs Up

I have found that in the mornings going to work, unloaded and then with a half load she sits around the high 300's to middle 400's but when going up the hills here in Devon with a load on she gets into the low 600's and sometimes up around the 650 mark but that is the highest i have had so far, i have not towed the trailer yet so i will have to see what the number's are when i do Thumbs Up 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up.

Very Happy I loved my icepod mod, or whatever it was called, but moved to bluetooth a while ago. All the benefits of "hands free" calling in an old Defender. HELLO??! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!?.....

But the EGT thing is more interesting. I have a 'madman' fitted about a year or two ago, with the alarm set to 630' I think.

Around here, if I accelerate in 5th up any kind of incline, I'll trigger the alarm. That's with a tweaked fuel pump; a Donaldson air filter; VNT and Griffin exhaust; and an AMC head. I think EGT are driven by unburnt fuel in the exhaust manifold. At lower gear/higher revs it just doesn't happen.

On the other hand, if I'm only a little careful, I can mooch around at 300-550' on a routine basis. That's largely unloaded. Donald

I did try the tweaked pump as you know but did not work out, so i have slightly tweaked my standard pump and i now have the AMC performance turner head and as you mentioned Donald that the gauge only goes high when your using your right foot a lot Wink

You mentioned that you have gone over to bluetooth now, so may i ask what did you do with your Dension unit that the ipod sits in ? would you consider selling please, it if you still have it ? 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.

So after a little time with the " newer " head light surrounds, i have decided that i prefer Millie with the original ones, so i got them out and spent all morning cleaning them up with a good de-greasing then a cleaning compound followed by ultimate polish then last of all, ultimate wax, i think that they have come up well, i know that they are not perfect but it keeps in with the look of Millie. At the same time i put only new lenses on the side and indicators lights both sides as the ones that were on Millie were the original ones as far as i can remember

Looking great Clayton. The headlight surrounds, painted or did you polish up the raw finish? - came up really well.

Thanks Black Puma Thumbs Up

The light surrounds are the original ones, about 5-6 years ago i painted them in gloss black and since then they have had just normal cleaning and bug wear n tare and the odd stone Rolling Eyes
They did come up much better than i thought they would Very Happy 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.

So Millie went in for another one of her 6,000 mile service's, all went well, at the same time we decided to put a new sump pan on as the original one was dripping more oil than normal, so far it has worked a treat Very Happy
