New Member - Newly Purchased ED30
Jons1001:
Results of that carbon clean look satisfying!
You could do the DSG service yourself to save £150-£200. Its basically a glorified oil change.
Graney_ED30:
Cheers mate....yeah it does look night and day doesn't it!
Yeah I had thought about doing it myself to save the coin.....it is just technically an oil and filter change.....but I would like to keep some stamps in the book and in total honesty I can't be arsed faffing on under the car on the drive when it's my daily 😂 - gone are the days of that haha!
Besides, I have the MK1 for tinkering with 😎

Small update....after going from the mk7.5 to this, I was missing the connectivity for my phone to be able to listen to music and take calls and stuff.
So I thought I'd give one of the android head units a go, worth a punt at less than £100 - came with DAB and Apple CarPlay which is all I need really.
Managed to finally find some time to get it fitted yesterday and I must admit I'm quite happy with the fit and finish, I've put the USB connection into the arm rest where the original iPod connection is, hopefully going to 3D print a holder for the phone so it sits in there properly - and to be honest the interface is smoother than the £500+ Pioneer unit I used to have 😂
Also got a full set of PS4's fitted and replaced the front and rear badges as they were peeling and just didn't look right. I'm also after a rear ED30 badge if anyone has one or knows of the best place to source one, I've seen the ones on eBay but wasn't sure if they were just cheap copies, even though the price seems to suggest otherwise!
Next on the cars are some new front lower arms as the current ones are crusty as owt, then will also fit the ECS subframe spacer/bolt kit as there is some subframe knocking when doing slow manoeuvres

Another small little update, something that has been annoying me since I got it was the state of the Edition 30 plaque - it looked like this:
Bit of enamel paint and a steady hand it now looks like this:
It’s the little things that count :grin:
I was planning to do the same to the rear external badge but it must be plastic as there is some weird sort of lacquer peel on it, will probably just grab a new one even though they are mental money for a little badge!
Unless anyone has any going spare

Nice headunit. Where did you get that? I bought the RCD330 ages ago and for most things is absolutely fine for me but I hate that the usb cable sticks out the front. I upgraded my speakers and although I found the sound really crisp there was a lack of volume. I just installed a mini amp and that has made a huge difference with really strong sound and clarity.
