So what car related activities do you have planned for this weekend?  :smiley:

On Sunday I will mostly be:
•   Replacing the passenger side Door mirror indicator lens as mine isn’t working (not cheap for what it is)
•   Reseating/replacing the rubber grommet where the bonnet release cable goes through the engine bay firewall into the cabin under the dash
•   Fitting some new headlights, ideally without removing the bumper.
•   Reset the service indicator
•   Coolant flush

One question. WRT the headlights. How do i remove the bumper inserts below the headlights?

I will be...

Polishing my new milltek up hopefully...maybe even fitting it!
Swapping over my can gateway
Looking into an interesting DRL setup
Washing the car  :signLOL:
Possibly wet sanding my headlights if I can get my hands on some Plast-X

How do you mean bumper inserts? Youll need to take the bumper off to fit the headlights as two of the mounts are down below the bumper level!

As for coolant flush...if its filled from factory its filled for life so you shouldnt need to flush it

Filled for life if its genuine VW coolant! If its cheap rubbish, then it needs to be changed

Most of the time it gets changed when the waterpump is done on cambelt change anyhow
