Yes, it will eventually go back to normal, I'm not worried.
However, I will make my request again.
And concerning harness, I received pm with email address of mans who will be able to provide me with this.
Thanks to whoever sent me this message!

Raph’s Caddy build thread

Yesterday I did a big cleaning session. impossible to consider a facelift without first having cleaned the engine compartment which was in poor condition. Image
today I'm going to remove the battery and air box to do the left side of the engine and gearbox then I'm going to go under the car to access the back of the gearbox and engine as well as the underside of the powertrain to finish.
Then, I will treat the bodywork because I discovered rust when dismantling my fenders! Image
Image
Image
On the other hand, I tried to present the front nozzle and I can't get the side supports to pass! Image Am I doing it wrong (not easy because I work alone) or is there a trick? Image
(Photo of support-silentbloc that I cannot put in place)

Image
Otherwise, I'm a little disgusted because I can't find the main bumper reinforcement that I had bought! I turned over my entire garage, impossible to get my hands on it!! ImageImage This is going to waste my time. Otherwise, always the same question, and there, I'm going to have to make up my mind!: Should I stay on white or should I switch my Caddy to green? existential question!! Image
I forgot, pm problem resolved very quickly to a new request! great!! Image

Good evening all folks,
I’m in the adjustment of my bodywork elements.
Could you tell me if the headlight is correctly located?

I will then work on the flaws of the purchased items. The body also needs some touch-ups after 10 years of service (I had my Caddy repainted when I bought it in 2013).
Last but not least, I will have to choose the shade. I still haven't decided!! the gray of the elements purchased is more classy than the white but in my opinion seen too much on the Caddy and especially Touran. If you had the choice, what cool shade would you do?? Image

Purchase of two heating controls. One identical to mine but with the heated seat controls and one to recover parts that will modernize everything. Image
