Wasn't me! I'm in Crieff in Scotland. Car has been off the road due to an incident with the police!! Didn't know my MOT had ran out weeks ago - given a warning and let me go home, booked in the next day & it failed on a knackered pair of FK droplinks. Got a replacement pair free of charge as they are only about 6 months old. All fitted and now running well & road legal again.

Just goes to prove though - bought the car in October last year, told t had a fresh mot on it - so didn't expect it to be due yet!

New parts coming soon!!

Not really been feeling the Jetta love recently - so I'm going to give it a bit of TLC and a good run on Thursday - Hopefully new plates soon!

I'm afraid I've been ignoring the mk5 for a while due to always picking this over it:-


And helping rebuild this:-

My mate hit a tree and bent the shell beyond repair, then bought another one the same with a seized engine...


I'm still on the merc rims, but paint is lifting a little. So time for a repolish & repaint in something better?? (Read brighter)
American spec number plates & a fmic twintercooler on a TDi - don't mind if I do!!!

Had it at the SVAG annual show at the weekend - some post wash pics before the show:-





Slightly annoyed my front grill hasn't show up, and never got round to fitting the American size plates. But I'll get there!!
Maybe time to out the Phaeton's back on

Cheers!

Merc rims removed and now for sale!

Phaeton rims back on with new tyres - had to raise the car about 15mm as the tyres are slightly wider than the old Falkens! Even though still officially being 225's!

new grill/front end coming soon, along with boot spoiler and Twintercooler! :)

Local company made it for me - £150 fitted.. Very nice little rumble on tick over. Will get the rest of the system done this summer - along with a CAT bypass pipe!

Was thinking about one of them forge kits to fit a boost gauge - along with a Voltmeter too

Ok cool. I'm wanting one to fit to mine so will have a full straight through. Just trying to find my best option that won't cost as much as a new system.

I have the bits to fit a boost gauge. Is yours a diesel? If so Darkside do an EGR delete which has a port to fit a boost gauge.

Was thinking about binning the EGR & the cooler. As you said dark side do the kits. But the guy who mapped it is miles away & I cant get him back to just code out of the dash light that pops up when you do the egr delete - so for the time being it stays.

I was thinking about this kit from forge:-

Just not sure if the MAP sensor is the same on the diesel (- or even if it has one!) ???
