Why are you guys doing this? Is there a rubbing issue?

Yes... the rear seal for the back doors can wear a hole in the pain on the door shut.

Cheers for that - I'll have to buy a set before the rust sets in.

Changed the gearbox oil and replaced the coolant expansion tank to stop the "Check Coolant level" warning.

The previous owner of the GT TDI had secured the undertray correctly including the rear three bolts, which as the car is slightly lower meant access was an PITA especially the rear middle bolt. After two long hours all the bolts where out and 30 minutes later the gearbox oil was changed.

I'm no detailer unfortunately, so just CarPlan triple wax shampoo with the jet washer to wash off. Then some autoglym Resin polish to finish it off  :happy2:
