What did you do to your B5 today?
Yep, my girlfriend has a MkI TT convertible. It's in WAY better shape than mine lol. ET on those wheels is 32, I was surprised because mine are 45
What did I do to my B5 this weekend you ask?
I FINALLY FIXED MY FU@k1NG CRUISE CONTROL!!!!
I've been tinkering with it for awhile and finally dug into the clutch and brake swx's. Turned out my vac pump is somewhat shot; it doesn't open the vent solenoid when the pump is shut off, but it frickin works!
Also cleared my ac condenstae drain...PITA..

I finally got the RIGHT wiring harness in the mail and now my rear speakers work too ( although the front are so loud i almost cant tell the rears are on. Probably because of the new head unit powering fronts instead of stock.). Got my new front speakers in. Got a dead mouse out. Tomorrow sub/ amp install. Tomorrow- wed expecting heat shield (thanks meloman) and my hubcentric rings in the mail.

Well he lived in there lol. Passenger door panel. He had a nest and everything. Not sure why he died in there. The car was sitting for a good amount of time before i bought and fixed it with the obvious signs. Signs: brake noises due to rusting with new pads first couple hundred miles, two mouse nests with a permanant resident in one if them, and a squeaking windshield whiper rack first couple times it rained. Idk if mice choose to die in there homes or if he got stuck. Edit: he was dead for a while. Didnt even smell anymore. He was basically a stiff *** mouse mummy.

check engine light came on.... drove to the shop.. plugged up the scanner... and 1 code came up for the coolant temp sensor... took the connector out... sprayed it with carburetor cleaner plugged it back up... cleared the code... and voila... coolant temp sensor revived...
