Neil.

The wheel is off half a teeth. I tried moving it over a teeth, then it would be even more off, but this time to the right.

I need an alignment. The steering wheel is off.
Had an alignment not even two months ago…

Maybe I’ll try turning the tie rods even turns and see if that works.
,
Just turning the tie rods evenly may not do the trick. Regardless which way the steering is off you need to measure the Toe to see if it's Toe In or Toe Out with the steering wheel centered before deciding which Tie Rod(s) to turn. Use trash bags under the wheels for less friction and with engine running when centering the steering for measurement. Depending if it's Toe In or Toe Out and which way the steering is pointed left or right while driving you can determine which Tie Rod to adjust.
.

I found this post by cn90, which says which side tot turn tie rods.

Should be fine like this, not?

30 mpg , no traffic on Sunday. Stopped and fixed SIL golf on the way.
Are you still in Europe?

On the other side of the planet in Shanghai

Chieber , I think the side marker harness drops from the top harness, not from the front. I grabbed a picture of it when I pulled one from a wreck yo make a 1998 ECT harness from it.

I have no idea where the wire for it is. Should it be coming from the front singal or is it from the door area?

Pulled a fender off for you….

I love the spring/hinge system of the P80.

Hello, long time lurker - first time poster.

I’ll keep it brief since I am just looking for information — I am missing ONE of the three CBV 10mm bolts which are required to replace the cover.

2/3 are accounted for, and the last one has vanished. Made sure it’s not anywhere in the snail, but I have had no luck locating. Tomorrow I’ll go to a junkyard to try and pull it from a P2 I saw today.

Does anyone know the measurements of those 10mm CBV plate bolts? (Pictured current state of CBV, with only 1 bolt in place)
