IS this a bad sign
Only just got my ZT-T so I'm still nosing around it and trying to take in the quirks that every car has. The metal spring clip that keeps the wing mounted indicator has corroded to failure so the unit doesn't stay put (see my post in the wanted section). However as I removed it to see why it wouldn't stay in place I found a huge amount of leaves and other organic material inside. Is this cause for concern and how did it get in there in the first place?

Hi and welcome. Debris behind the wing, n/side is it? Probably what's called the shannon tube, a cold air feed from under the wing to the airbox, always in bits.I would suggest also cleaning the plenum chamber https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=125864
There is a "How To" section which answers probably all your questions Have fun |

I replaced mine on a 1.8t from this German supplier - not sure if they are universal or not across the engine types .

Also, as I've owned the vehicle for the grand total of 29 hours are there any jobs I should have done as preventative medicine? Thanks all for super prompt replies btw |
