  1. The three (3) genders

    * Gefahr
    * Danger

    This stuff from #Belgie did at least save me £110, thought post-cat lambda sensor in my #GolfGTI was goosed (it threw a code) but had just got a bit clagged immediately after #remap which according to the mechanic next door can happen

    Its now behaving, just as well as new sensor is about £80 and I'd need tool to fit it, its in a most awkward place to just after the turbo where the metal reaches ca. 400°C when driving and still remains fairly hot an hour after stopping engine (learned that hard way)

    #Petrol additive is full of #BTX ( #benzene , #toluene and #xylene ) - not smelt those #aromatics for a while as they have been discouraged from many other products on safety grounds..

  2. I wonder why YouTube recommended me a 1989 episode of #BBC #Crimewatch - turns out there was a 1982 #GolfGTI used as a getaway vehicle in one of the segments (multiple armed #robberies on train stations in South #London)

    There was a lot more #crime then compared to today, much of it seemed to be fuelled by rampant inequality (as well as #cars being way less secure than today, and a lot more #cash being handled by businesses)

    in 2025 someone in same part of London had their Mk1 Golf (just normal model, but now a #ClassicCar) nicked, but it was all over Facebook and multiple folk saw it and called #Metpol - thieves soon got nicked and he got his car back..
