What did you do to your MK1 today?
Not really a floppy top fan but that's a beautiful sight, what's hiding in the background near the garage?

If you've still got old one take it apart and fit the sensor to new reservoir see it stops leaking.. maybe missing o ring or aged one on new part.

Cheers Kenneth, the one currently on the car is the one from the old tank (which never leaked) I bought a new one from GSF earlier just in case, so a swap out seems the next best step for now? (Just got to wait for coolant to cool as was out in it earlier).

Quick update, changed over part to the new one - no difference what so ever? :/ super confused now! I still have old reservoir, perhaps I should swap back?
(Video below shows what I'm dealing with!)

Pulled the carbs off BRO removed a main jet to get the dimension.
Ordered some smaller jets ready for rolling road tuning session.
Reassembled the carb and put back, need to tighten up as I ran out of time…
