Finished my ice install with this:

Is that an insert so you can use a full size spare?

Yeah, sneaky install trick i thought rather than drilling holes in the seat backs. Just used a knife to trim some of the back away so there's space for the plugs and cables but the amp luckily fits perfectly.

What was the cause of your high idle?
Failed PCV.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
