Yep, that's correct.
The black gear is a dual-layer gear, with the smaller gear-face on the inside.

The middle of the AC Fan and evaporator box drains directly straight down to the top of the transmission housing.

It's a pain in the rectum, but blow out the lines again. The only way you can re-use a saturated carbon canister is to purge hot nitrogen th...

Depending on where the little buggers chewed, you can replace the forward section of the gasket with a common "top bulb" edge trim from your local hardware store. e.g. 13 x 8 x 10mm Toolbox Seal With Top Bulb Rubber https://www.bunnings.com.au/goliath-13-x-8-x-10mm-toolbox-seal-with-top-bu...

Re: Dash cover that fits well

Ah right - You don't have any location details in your profile, and you posted a Euro model, so I assumed RHD.

I'm led to believe that LHD dash mats are more common - A google search should give you a few hits.
