I'm back... in a Mk2 ZS TD!
Couldn't believe my luck - I've just bought a Mk2 Diesel ZS with the proper 180 bodykit. I've been after one for ages, and after viewing a few sheds for around £2,000 I found this for half of that.
It has a few issues, but on the whole drives OK. The alloys aren't my cup of tea, but I may keep them as they're already on the car and are quite clean.
I've noticed a few things since picking her up:
- EGR valve has some taped up pipework. Going for a remap which will delete the EGR tomorrow.
- MAF sensor readings are all over the place on T4 - likely a cheap eBay MAF as no Bosch markings. Going for a remap which will delete the MAF tomorrow.
- Really bad clutch judder from cold, and a very low biting point. I've freed up the release arm, but I think the clutch itself could be cooked. Waiting this one out for it to break or get better.
- Rust above windscreen. Will have this sorted in spring.
- Many BCU problems. Heated rear screen not working, washer jets not working and horn not working. I'll be repairing this myself, and now offer the service to others here: BCU Repair Kit or Service
- Needs a couple of rear tyres. Going to sling some budgets on for now, but will sort out a good set (hopefully on some 11s) in summer.
Since buying, I've had the BCU apart and replaced all of the relays - the relays were a pain to find, but I managed to find some equivalent Fujitsu relays in old stock via a chap I used to work with.
This fixed the horn but not the washer jets - so a new washer pump has been ordered.
I'll keep you all posted on progress. :D
