@mikeonb4c, the Eriba kiss is when you forget to duck getting in or out Picked up that expression from the Eriba forum (albeit a few years back)

I might be wrong here but... when you say it makes a squeal when you accelerate out of the corner - could this be one of the drive belts slipping a bit under load - the fan belt sort of squeal?

Jeebers that is bad news and so sorry to hear it. I think I'd be nervous about (the cost of) mending burned wiring looms and interior generally.

No doubt you've seen these? http://vw-beds.com/products/bongo.html

Which engine is it? The 2.0 ltr self bleeds the 2.5 ltr need a bit more faffing. Whatever you do, don’t ignore it. Have fun.

Looking at the picture the rubber hose doesn't appear to be pushed on far enough.You can see the flange it should go over and the hose has more of a kink than a nice smooth bend. The clamp is only just one as well. As a temp measure I'd reseat the hose and use a new clamp. Othyerv more expert than m...
