Fitted some new front pads, Ferrodo DS.

Gave everything related to front wheel area a good checking over, all tip top.

Bled brakes.

Fixed a small fuel pipe leak near the FPR.

Changed the throttle cable today. It feels so much smoother pulling away

Ya it was fairly easy, slightly fiddly tho.

 

The hardest part is getting in the right position under the dash so you can see what your doing.

 

a good tip for getting the light blue plug back in the hole is to put the rubber bung in first then incert the cable into the cabbin.

Got a fresh MOT :D

Finished modifying a second hand headlight loom to include a direct earth wire from battery to each lamp socket, male/female spade links to connect the sidelights and the earths on the existing OEM harness to maximise earth availability - might as well for the sake of a few inches of wire + few connectors. See below:

Now fitted and what a brilliant result!

Fitted new wiper blades (the ones on there are about 6 years old!) and they made a heck of a difference, a replacement handbrake handle and a trimsport strut brace :)

Did you have to trim the shelves, to get the brace to fit ?

[Jim 1]

Nope. Went on fine without trimming anything - seems to be a good design. Though I've found now that the parcel shelf catches on the brace when you open the boot... only way to open the boot fully is for the shelf to lift out of the recesses it's held into in the parcel shelf supports. A little annoying but not the end of the world :)

Drove it for the first time in months, started first time and seems ok.

 

Reminded me how boring my diesel Jetta is.

 

MOT next!!!.

[smee 0]

Refitted the drivers doorcard having fitted the other audioscape pod and cleaned the leather and all the door furniture. Tuned the radio, having swapped the battery the other day and remembered how bobbins it sounds at the mo. Must crack on with the rest of my install!

[vwdeviant 0]

Put it up for sale! :(

There's nothing like a well shagged box :norty:

 

Today I put my dash centre console back together, marvelling at the :censored: design that explains why all the late centre consoles are broken!

Oh and received the logbook in the post, only 5 months since I bought the car :roll:

[phatboy 0]

Well, coloured all the headlining black, fitted the sunroof and gave her a bit of a wash :D

[MikLSP 0]

Another day imagining how good it will be when I finally get one :lol:

[dbug 0]

new wheels on & alternator swapped so i no longer have that annoying rattly noise from the engine :clap:

[coullstar 0]

Took it off the axle stands its been sitting on for a while, backed it out the garage then back in again after fitting my towbar to the Mk4. A V6 with no exhaust does not sound as good as I thought it would.

[Andy-H 0]

Finished the wheels off 8) Now realise the front needs to be lower :(

 

 

Then gave it a damn good clean ready fo rgoing to Dubfreeze tomorrow :)

 

 

 

And I've looked at the weather and it's given snow :mad2:

[Critical_Mass 10]

Removed the wiper mechanism due to the operating rod goign from the wiper motor to the first wiper popping off. Left with no wipers whilst its raining is PITA.

Changed the grill badge for a much shinier one, washed it and polished in with Colour Magic polish - not convinced that stuff is any good!
