Following up on the smell crisis in the 406, I decided to leave the drivers window and sunroof open all day while I went to visit relatives in Fermanagh. Also left this in the car:
I shít you not, the smell has diminished
now its not gone but it's a lot less pungent and not so in your face woft anymore. Bearing in mind I've been leaving the windows open everyday for the past week and it would not go!!! :eek: Leaving it in the car overnight to see if it rids totally or reduces the stench even more :cool:
Edit: Will be trying bread soda and onions tomorrow too

Well I called 2 more cars yesterday. Both sold...
FFs, is resesion over?! I am not looking for 1.2 punto or dirty diesel too!
Anyway payed 3 months tax yesterday on ford. So now I am not in a rush at all, but I will be pissed off if I will find car this weekend...0 -
Think I've finally decided the GTI needs a remap. After 3 months of getting a little thrill every time I planted the throttle, this morning I felt the tiniest hint of "meh" inside me when I pulled off. It doesn't feel slow, it just doesn't feel thrill me fast anymore. An extra 50BHP should sort that though
do it!0 -

There is cheaper solution take your misses car, which is slow. Drive it for few weeks, then jump back to gti. I bet it will add 200hp extra for free
I drove mondeo for 3 month, then I jumped to mx amd it was a rocket!!! 0 -

B this is quite tricky, and can go wrong easily.
C try to cut a slot in the bolt, then use a screwdriver and vice grip( a bit of heating,cooling and loads of penetrating fluid will help.
D my favourite (if at all possible) weld something to the offending bolt, a nut/ smaller bolt or even a piece of steel the heat from this also helps.
Where is the bolt?
Bolt is in the Gearbox housing.
A+B is possible. C, I don't think is possible as the bolt is recessed from the hole, I dont think that I could get something down to cut it.
D, I cannot weld and has the problems of C.

Try C first, even make the slot with a screwdriver and a hammer, the impacts can help seized bolts (dont go mad on it though;) ) if that doesnt work then try your ez out.
For me B is the last option coz i always make a bollix of it, so i dont do it unless i can just ream out the bolt and stick in a new bolt with a nut ( if you can just drill it out and disregard all previous advice:p)0 -

Quick question.
What would you do to remove a sheared bolt.
A. Ez-out extractor? (I've a set of them and have had good experience with them but I'm afraid of them breaking themselves and causing a heartache of problems)
B. Drill out of the bolt with progressively larger bits?
A
Similar problem before when I smashed a temp sensor in a manifold, only tool for the job was an easy out
