General Car Chat / Re: Mk7 Golf amp

« on: 23 February 2024, 18:24:59 »

I posted on vw forum and got a great comprehensive answer including schematic showing pin outs and the options for dedicated amp or contained in MIB. Most excellent help as it even shows the various speaker pins.. Just hoping it isnt a damaged cable .

I found a damaged wire in the loom to drivers seat. Pretty poor given its known life. Anyway my auto electrician can effect a repair later next week.

Its above my pay grade now.

Popped round to see a Spanish friend  who I would describe as an auto electrician. He contacted VW and they said there isnt an amp . Searching the web, we have concluded the component we are looking for is under the drivers seat ( LHD). There is certainly something there under the carpet.

So I have booked it in for probable seat removal later next week.

Went to the London Olympics (twice) under protest and have no desire to repeat the experience. 

You'll be culturally enriched if you go to the Paris Olympics! 

No, reading between the lines I tihink he isn’t likely to go to France. Just a feeling.

No power to plug in door frame. Hence why I hope it is a bad connection n the amp.

I have never set foot in France, and its highly unlikely I ever will. 

Never say never! I had got you down for this years Olympics. Time out to the Citroen factory museum. Then lager or three in the evening . You never know you might even get converted into a Catholic by fire and the sword, rudeness and disdain while you are there.

General Car Chat / Mk7 Golf amp

« on: 20 February 2024, 19:08:55 »

Long shot but anyone know where the amp is located on a mk 7 golf estate?

Got RH front door speaker, off most of the time - comes on sometimes on the wretched potholes.

Door panel off - no power to speaker.

Head unit off and quite a surprise at just how few wires there are. So somewhere there is an amp with loads of wires. Can’t see one under/ back of glove box , only pollen filter. Nothing obvious in boot. Couple of humps under each front seats but covered by carpet. Can’t see much cooling if they are under that! So stumped. Not getting very far on the internet either.

My dad has gone through that funeral phase. He is 97. Doesn’t stop him and  his same age neighbour trawling the deaths page eachThursday.

The only suit I now possess is hanging in the spare bedroom at dads.

Funerals in Spain are all about people and not what you wear and usually happen with 48 hours.

We just decided to go to the Fallas in Valencia. Bit last minute. 250 a night b and b .denand far outstrips supply.

Always wanted to go. Cost is fairly academic. It will be another thing ticked off my bucket list.

Enjoy the day ? 👍

Agreed. Today we are in Cartagena. Lots of Roman stuff to look at. Another castle off the 20,000 to go at. Might have a boat trip around the harbour ( Spanish Med naval base)  Monkfish, prawns and clam “ stew”  later. Nice sunny warm day

Nice day to vapourise!

Defending the indefensible.

One mans personal totally unwarranted crusade is responsible for the direct deaths of a lot of people, untold misery and suffering in his motherland and that of Ukraine plus the impoverishment of millions of us in Europe oh and in Russia. That latter fact doesn’t  seem to be important and why would it in a state of mega rich Putin toe sucking oligarchs and the plebs. Spending something like 30% ofGDP on weaponry does not enhance Joseph Blogs situation one jot, just makes it worse.

Carlson was pathetic, that wasn’t journalism. Might as well have had Alexa doing the interview. It would have been cheaper too.

But you could argue the world was also much more stable pre Trump?

But what did Trump and Putin talk about and agree? I don’t recall the minutes being published.

My observations for what they are worth.

Living in Spain, our town has had an influx of Moroccans. Opening businesses and youngsters looking for work. At least the men. Women can get work in the shops.

So far so good. We have a load of young Moroccans in our Spanish lessons classes. Their views are quite horrific. Women are inferior and certainly not and never will be equal. When we walk on the street two Moroccans swagger along and own the pavement. They cannot go to discos - either sexes  so the young men just hang around looking good ( they are well dressed).

So my solution is anyone arriving looking for asylum, ship them off to a muslim state ( assuming they are muslims) . This drip drip or faster erosion of our society despite all the failings of Christianity needs addressing. The traditions here are very firmly routed but give it twenty years there will be woke complaints about Easter parades etc.
