I also have a three out, the third side outlet is normally capped off. I’m using earplugs for anything but short journeys. With the side outlet uncapped the decibels increase significantly, so much so that I once thought another SC on megaphones wasn’t that much louder… If I were to do a Euro touring road trip I’d be tempted to put my M&K one out silencer back on. I think most two outs are a mixture of a bit too loud for some and / or suffer resonance if stainless. Megaphones / headers only is painfully loud.

Blaupunkt Radio CODE windscreen sticker

I was a bit puzzled too?! -
I guess the starting point would be identifying what you currently have, but be sure to do your research as even modest gearing changes can have significant effects, all according to your car's particular variables e.g. wheel & tyre sizes, final drive, power and so on.

Bedside reading - what are you leafing through?

Grey Goose Restorations for K Jet work

Nothing other than what you may already have seen, I think classic VWs are his main focus. -
I just looked at the MSDS for the Miller’s VSP, it’s pretty much just ethylhexanol with added naptha aromatics (petrol) and a few cracked hydrocarbons. Not sure what does the stabilising, but there a quite a few other ingredients in the mix. It’s noticeable that there’s no toluene at all though, as compared to race fuels which have a significant percentage. Using toluene as an additive to pump fuel would definitely help boost the octane rating if you do use your car during winter but I’d be tempted do some more research to see if it’s as good as other options if stabilising pump fuel was your top priority because you weren’t planning to use your car until after winter.

Not impossible / there is a repair section available, what are the front inner wings like where the bumper tubes mount?

Let it soak for a few days, then get it hot.

I love spraying stuff, but the job has to be past some or other mental threshold for the clean up to be worth it. If it doesn’t need the finish it gets brushed on.

VW cuts EV production: EV debate thread
mean in green replied to fat fuchs's topic in Impact Bumping
This has also troubled the commercial vehicle sector, which struggled with the 3.5t GVW limit when a huge EV battery got shoe horned under the floorpan. The solution has been a domestic derogation allowing EV vans that would otherwise be 3.5t as petrols / diesels to be sold as 4.25t EV variants, however this didn’t address a complication with driving licence entitlement as technically any vehicle over 3.5t required the Category C/C1 truck licence. The genius workaround for that was the introduction of an additional online driver training module, five hours’ worth of classroom time… That then got simplified such that an ordinary Category B car licence was deemed acceptable after all… -
Always start with the tyres on issues like this.

Not that it’s much consolation but I’d have gone new too. There’s a certain risk in buying used parts. We do it, hopefully we get away with it, but many of us will also have seen a few unfortunate souls getting into all sorts of uninvited strife. Another way to look at it: the new crank might seem expensive, but it would certainly still end up being much less than what it would cost to go back and rectify an issue with a used one.

If the parking charge for a day in most cities was £45/head I wonder what the endgame of that would be?

If you haven’t already perhaps ask on Pelican too.

Might take a little more working out than expected: Blaupunkt reused the same model names over the years, often with minor feature changes / differing again according to the originating market. Have you got any original docs, the option code for the original radio might be there?
