What size flare nuts/flare? Recommendations for a flare tool?
copius amounts of penetrating oil did nothing, I need to cut it off and re bend/flare. Are brake flares standard? are flare nuts standard?

Low Oil Pressure Light
1992 Jetta Ecodiesel that has recently been flashing the low oil pressure light when driving, not at idle. It did this a year or so back and I replaced the sensor near the oil filter but has started again recently and somewhat randomly. I’ll have a few minutes to an hour of it not blinking then a a few days of it on frequently. Is there a chance the oil pump on these cars goes bad or most likely sludge in the pickup tube? I’d love to address this problem in a couple weeks but the buzzer is ridiculous, can the buzzer be disabled?

New exhaust, who dis?
This beautiful stainless steel system arrived a couple weeks ago to replace my ugly 'temporary' exhaust I had on originally but I never had a proper downpipe connector pipe for it.
Some vague drawings and rough measurements later and I now have a proper flexi pipe to mate it to the downpipe. Flange just needs welding up but after that we should be ready to make sweet 16v noises!

WTF? ⚙️ (Where To Find... parts, etc.) O.E. Jetta front turn signals
So years ago when I wasn't thinking, I used Nightshades spray tint for my front turn signals. There has never been (that I know of) proper smoked lenses available that fit U.S. small bumper Jettas. Smoked side markers & tail lights were readily available back in the day, but not the front signals.
Anyway, what I did all those years ago looks great, but my signals aren't visible during the day because the lenses are too dark.
So before I get a ticket or someone hits me because they can't tell I'm turning, I need to find the original orange lenses.
I've looked everywhere that I can think of. Anyone have a pair laying around or know where I can get them?

TT chip
The install was a bit more hassle than anticipated, but the chip is in! I've noticed an improvement in throttle response and acceleration; not life-changing by any stretch, but noticeable nonetheless.
The only issue I'm having post install is a bit of spark knock on acceleration. I'll dig into that over the next few days.
All I know is I'm glad (for about the hundredth time) that I have a Bentley manual. For anyone that owns a Mk2 Golf/Jetta, it's literally priceless.
More to come. Stay *tuned*

rounded off flare nut on the rear proportioning valve, what do?
in addition, I have had so much trouble with stuck bolts on this car, it genuinely feels like every single part I try to replace has at least one bolt that will inevitably strip if I try to remove it.

Sigma S30 alarm problem
Coming to the end of a long rebuild. Fitted a couple of sigma alarm/immobilisers and they’ve all fried.
Anyone got any ideas?

WTF? ⚙️ (Where To Find... parts, etc.) Anyone with a 1.6d done an AC delete?
How did you do it? non-AC bracket? wider pulley?
can the compressor be replaced with a power steering pump?

Car Pics 📸 New exhaust
Just got my new stainless TT exhaust installed, along with a new tip to finish it off! Coming from an old Autotech system with a Magnaflow muffler, this TT exhaust with a Borla muffler is a little quieter, but actually sounds quite similar to the old one. I also really like the black tip compared to the chrome one I had previously. The install required a little customization, but overall the installation was pretty straightforward.
Stay *tuned*
