Hey everyone.
What's really fun? Tuning a 250TD, you know!

Messing around with a TDI, yeah!
With a car like a 250TD, nothing really gets better, neither the engine performance nor the driving experience.
The Pölen is still very good, and the rest is just okay... more suited for retirees and Steffen.
(I test drove a car today *gggäähhhnnn*, a TD model, not a classic, but it felt the same!)
That's all there is to it.
The anxious waiting since last week: will the newly ordered ESP console fit?
A wide grin on the SchrauberMeister's face, he said, "You're paying for this, one way or another." He continued, "1:1000 chance that this thing won't fit your engine!"
What kind of confidence, am I a jerk or something?
Regarding the old ESP system: it's completely "unstable," the WDR (weather radar) is extremely sensitive, and another failure is practically guaranteed.
Oops, where are the long holes...? What is that ugly nose doing there??? It doesn't matter if the ESP comes from eBay; it simply has to fit.
...sleepless nights, a 5-day delivery time from VW, it seems the console is still in the melting pot like molten liquid.
Today, the call that saved the day: "Your console is here...and the ESP is already installed!".
still some minor sheet metal modifications...
...oh yeah, where is that new pulley wheel? I need it to be able to statically adjust the new ESP.
NOT HERE YET *grrrrr*
Here, you can see how my new ESP is "normally" mounted in its aluminum bracket – everything is completely different.
Here, for example, in the Octavia

Best regards.
