That's great, thanks.
The odd thing is on the previous MOT they said it was correct and on this one they wanted it changed over. Also, the wire colours don't match through now (its one colour then another colour) as I have had to swap the contacts around.
If it passes I'm happy.
Thanks again.

Headlights MOT Failure
Hi, Haven't posted for a while but wondered if anyone could help me out... I have a mk3 2.8i, which has just failed its MOT. Of all things, it was down to the headlights being wired incorrectly. Any chance anyone can help, I have changed the wiring to the following (advised by the garage) but not su...

I'm pretty sure the plugs are bosch and the leads are definately new as are the plugs. We came to the same conclusion about the unburnt fuel.... but as to why we are still to determine. For some reason the problem I have now is I've ran out of fuel so the tank will need topping up... Could have inad...

Did a compression test last night.... I'm getting around 170psi (12bar) on all cylinders. Took the dizzy cap off again and cleaned that up and checked all the ht leads (which have been replaced recently). Changed the fuel filter as it needed doing and a couple of fuel lines to move the filters mount...

Thanks for your reply. I've found the solution. As it turns out there is corrosion within the swirl pot in the tank blocking the return and partially blocking the feed giving low pressure and blowing the seal on the MFI unit when the pressure builds up due to no return in the tank... Tank is now rep...

I remember someone mention it to me in the past. Thanks for the correction, something to check on mine aswell. Maybe there is a pressure problem at that point. If you have any luck let me know as I think we are working to the same solution on this one as I've got the same prob. Did you have gushing ...
