New Alloys !!!!!

Today was a good day...the sun is shining, it's almost the weekend and I've had my new wheels fitted !

I've gone from this...


To these..........





Pride of my place, outside my digs.....

Removed the rear breather tube to dislodge the check valve inside. I found the tube to be full of oil and now am hoping that the new valve cover will reduce this condition as it was causing little puffs of smoke when I began to roll from each stop.

I didn't take any, but this is it...and I removed the black check valve at the right end of the tube in this pic: https://changegears.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/dsc_1751.jpg

I think I will do a rear pcv tube delete soon though, and then add a VTA catch can after I get this: http://www.performancebyie.com/integrated-engineering-rear-breather-blockoff-plate-for-transverse-2-0t-fsi-tsi-engines

Ta, I'm all for maintaining the car, since its on 105,000mi now. Want to try and keep it working smoothly.

Haven't used the car for three days so not sure when it happened but some little sh1t has nicked all four of my centre caps :fighting:

Need to order four of 3B7601171 :sad1:

Sorry to know that. More of a nuisance than anything else (it could be much worse), but nonetheless, no need to steal stuff from other people's cars... :fighting:

Friday fitted a RNS-510 version P and a cherry red hazard switch. Yesterday went to a friend's house to get all the gadgets fitted. It went well. :pomppomp:

Got rid of the 3M carbon fiber wrap on my center grill and fitted the "Edition 30" badge bellow the "GTI" badge. :smiley:
Don't mind the bugs's massacre on the car's front end...


Mk6 Golf Climatronic fitted. This version doesn't have auto air recirculation, so I don't get AQS missing error. :smiley:


OPS front and rear sensors. :smiley:


Mk6 Golf rear view camera. :smiley:


Door warning lights with new version of the 3D LED. :smiley:


Also got other mods done that I don't have pictures: rear footwell lights, updated the Bluetooth module wiring (now voice command works and the sound from Bluetooth Audio streaming is stereo), fitted brushed metal tipped fuel door switch and fitted a new airbag ring (old one was looking too worn).

Like this...  :drinking:

Grille parts painted gloss black

Tell me about it. Our area isn't too bad and certainly isn't a crime hotspot so i'm somewhat stumped as to why anybody would want four slightly white wormed centre caps.  :confused:

New set ordered off eBay for £30  :smiley:

Gave the GTi a wash and polish for the summer  :happy2:  :love:
