What did you and your MKV do today?

[DamoP]

started taking this little lot off the car 

boot pop, door warning lights, rear footwell lights, rcd510 dab, dab aerial,evons, rubber door inserts, rear ash tray, mdi and bluetooth kit, armrest, mk6 climate kit, euro sliding cup holder,bottle opener, rubber mats, flexible load liner, dog guard, vw oil & pouch, vw emergency kit, black screen wash and coolant caps,

[homesqueeze]

Had a new thermostat fitted. Three hours labour, ouch!

3 hours!! Did they do it blind folded
I did mine on the drive, only took me about an hour start to finish and I hadn't done one before!

Are you talking about the main thermostat?! This requires lots of parts to be removed to get to it, even the alternator. Are you sure you didn't just do the secondary one?

My mate who's a mechanic replaced my main one in about 45minutes, somehow just managed to squeeze his hands in there and do it. I think he's done a few and perfected it though.

That's pretty nifty! Shame my mechanics didn't have that skill. Just hope it cures the problem now I've splashed out on it!

Forgot to mention it took about a week for my bleeding hands to heel up 

You must have baby hands 

It's a pig of a job, and requires boost pipes to be removed, and the alternator. I gave up after a while. .

That's the kit I'm looking at but it's slightly cheaper at car systems.pl

That was brave romo. I wouldn't get ironx anywhere near those calipers.

How comes? It's paint safe, I've never seen IronX damage anything and I've used it a lot.

Snow foamed and hand washed the car, looked great, then it p!ssed down with rain!

Yeah... and who's gonna guarantee that when the paint (which is usually of questionable quality) fails? Just too risky IMO.

Fair enough but we've sold thousands of bottles and I've used it on dozens of cars (including my own) and never had an issue. It stinks but it's PH nuetral so should never cause an issue
