Today my Climate control decided to start playing up>
The heat coming from the Driver's side air vent was unbearably hot which I thought was just that the A/C was too high so went to lower the...
Just another issue in the long running saga of this car..... Back to the workshop again
I have had many issues with my 118TSI engine and gearbox over the time that I have had it, the latest being a replacement of the turbo.
