    You can prime fuel filter on these cars by presseing and holding start button 6 times, but don't press clutch to inhibit engine starting. You will ear fuel pump working. After that, start the engine and keep it steady at 2krpm for 1 minute, wile remaining air gets out through return line.

    Fantastisk timing på innehåll då jag måste byta framruta på min ena mk1, rutan har jag men har aldrig bytt en ruta förr men det ser inte allt för svårt ut.... så blir nog att ta hjälp av frugan till helgen och fixa det. Va in i går och besiktade den, första besiktningen på 15 år så jag räknade med att få en lång lista på saker att fixa. 2 nerslag att fixa, sprucken framruta som jag viste om och så en bakbroms som inte alls fungerade så den misstänker jag att det är en hjulbromscylinder som gett upp för handbromsen funka fint. Rätt otroligt att en bil står 15 år och nästan rullar rätt genom utan en totalrenovering :) Är bra kvalité i dom små bilarna ändå....

    Another detail not in the video is the correct amount of new gearbox oil. Its really weird on the manual 6 gear since you have to fill it up until it leaks out and then suck out like 100ml which is effectively wasting good new oil.

      I've also replaced the pipe and the master cylinder, for me it's OK when it's warm outside. In winter it was still a problem now it's fine 🤔🤔
