My FK's are fitted the same only takes 20 mins to adjust them and change the wheels
Just make sure you put some copper grease on the bolt as it can sometimes stick and spin the whole adjuster
Or just remove the bolt like I have

Cleaned them all up today and greased them with some type of blue grease that comes with new brake pads!! Ran out of wd40 and couldn't find the copper slip when u need it!

I loaded my new DM K04+ custom fuel economy tune today...but I drove like a hooligan all day and did not allow for any increase in mpg  :happy2:
Then I found a great deal on the neuspeed upper rear triangulated tie bar @ NGP for $93.45: http://www.ngpracing.com/newstore/volkswagen/golf-gti-jetta-beetle/mk5/2.0t-fsi-en-2/suspension-en-5/chassis-braces-en-20/

Took rear lower valance off and sideskirts, few days ago. Today replaced them with colour coded ones that have been sat in my shed for a while. looking good.

On a side note i have a lower rear valance and sideskirts, covered in black vinyl (previous owner) going free if collected from Leuchars, Scotland.  :happy2:

Washed, polished, EGP all the wheels (such a mundane chore!). Cleaned the wheel arches whilst the wheels were off. Added polo aerial... enthralling!

After owning mine since September and always feeling something wasn't right I replaced my DV!

What a difference!



And also refurbished my headlamps as they were horrific (pics don't really show how bad they were.

@infernalant - those are two things on my to-do list! Did you have any fault codes showing before you replaced the DV?
