Did oil change on me 2008 gt tdi sport. Went to replace vw filter with new vw filter from same dealer, and they were different  :confused: New one had black plastic top & bottom and was about 4mm longer. Was'nt sure the cap would tighten down, but it did just fine, so seems ok....
Also it takes me ages trying to get the large plastic undertray back onto the front splitter, is there a trick to this?

Well, at the weekend...

Door card off, replaced inside door grab handle, and then the drivers side, slightly easier! Makes a big difference. Looking fresh...

Deep cleaned and sealed the summer wheels ready to be put back on in circa 24 hours. Finally the weather has improved enough to put them back on.

Out of interest why have you had it powdercoated?

As with most of the Milltek backboxes (except the newer ones), they have the tendency to hang below the bumper. I'm not sure whether this one will or won't so had it powder coated just in case so it won't stand out like a sore thumb  :happy2:
