The pasta wagon unplugged

Ahh so what's new in the world of the pasta wagon, thankfully very little, the warning lamp that i extinguished with a computer a while ago made a return appearance and after some internet browsing seems like i'm probably going to have to change the vacuum lines. So for the time being it still glows.

I finally got round to changing the sparkplugs i got off ebay about 6 months ago and as you would expect a thoroughly unenjoyable new car PITA it was to do too.

Under the plastic engine cover, (why does the engine need covering up with anything, it's an engine that is what it looks like), anyway plastic engine cover and deeply recessed plugs is hardly user friendly but i got it done with the help of my wide swearing vocab.


So this Passat with an up to date service history from a VW garage and the plugs look like this, looking back at the service history in fact reveals that plugs aren't part of a normal service anymore and these were last change about 90 000km ago.


This week will also see TPW getting a new front wing after the stupidness that was the tiny dent made while it was parked. I hope they make a good job of it.
