Last car I did was a honda accord. It needed a large socket like 22 MM but I dont remember the size or where I got it. But I bet the VW needs the same or close.

I am disappointed at the fuel consumption of my LDV Convoy 2.5L TD. It gets in the low 20s, max 25 avg on a long run, never high 20s. I expected about 30 dipping to 25 in town.
I have so far flushed & replaced the engine oil, changed the oil filter, fuel filter, & air filter; put Redex & then Injector Protector in the diesel; set the tyres to 55 psi; checked the brakes aren’t binding; removed & cleaned all the air intake pipes.
Jobs still to do – check the thermostat (temp gauge stays around the 1/3 mark); adjust the idle (now around 1000-1100 rpm – should be around 750.
The van always starts on the key, has no smoke, & runs fine, loads of oomph. The only thing is that to get good power on hills I have to avoid flooring the throttle. If the pedal is floored, power drops off badly & I have to change down. Keep the throttle very light, & I get up better in a higher gear.
Does anyone have any idea a) what mpg this vehicle should give & b) any more ideas of how to improve it??
Many thanks!

I changed the bulb for the passenger side main headlights, however i noticed the clip / spring that holds the bulb in to the headlight has broken off. The previous owners just held it in place with some twisted wire, however i was wondering of you could buy the clips or do i need the whole headlight replacing? Could i do it myself, or do i need to take it in to a garage?

i’ve been looking all over the internet for one of these. it has to be a 1999 passat V6 cold air intake. they have all kinds of intakes but not cold air ones. do any of you know of any good preformance sites? my regular sites aren’t working for me in this situation. thanks.

I’m getting ready to take this Peugeot out of storage. I will probably need to get more parts, but right now I know I’m going to need a motor and radiator.
