Good man, obviously wedding and house is a whole new chapter but will be just that bit better knowing you still have the ED30 tucked away.

If you need someone to keep the seats warm while its in storage just PM me

Hope all goes well with the wedding and new house so you can continue to share your care with your Ed. 30.

I'v been really busy the past few weeks and only been on the forum through my phone so its time for a bit of an update.  I still haven't taken pictures of the interior that does the re trim justice but hopefully a mate will be doing that soon.
Last week I booked in to Awesome GTi to have the main thermostat changed as my car was not getting hotter than 75ish and searching the forum I soon found the cause.  I debated doing it myself but Hassan sorted me out a good price and I decided to let them do the work.  While I was there saw some truly amazing cars and got me thinking again of more power!!
If you have followed my build thread you will see I intend to AWD my car and have all the bits ready to go.  I really do mean to get it done but just as I'm ready a rare part will come up and I focus on that instead.  My wingbacks with full length OEM plaid happened out the blue and my most recent mod did too.  Always on the look out for bits and one of the list was the colour display.  One came up and grabbed it and just been waiting for a chance to get to Eddie_NL for him to work his magic.
I made the herculean round trip in a day from where I am to Ed and back in a day - definitely not one of my best ideas but did it on Monday.   Got there and Ed was straight to work  We had problems with my colour dials as they appeared to be quite new and his tools were not talking with the colour cluster at all.  We ended up having to install my other Scirocco dials which are 200MPH, blue needle but white display until he could sort the colour ones out. Ed also installed the most up to date Can Gateway for me which means I get a coffee break warning 



We attempted to get MK6 high beam assist going too, but simply ran out of time as I had a 6 hour journey ahead of me to get back home.  Literally the next day Ed called me with good news, he had cracked the issue with my colour display and they were ready to be sent back to me.  My colour dials were from a convertible which meant the picture was wrong of the doors opening etc.  Ed used his coding black magic and got the correct picture for my car - a 3 door.



He sent me the clocks special delivery and I had them the next day.  I fitted them as soon as I got back from work and I am well impressed!!  The white display makes a huge difference and really updates the interior, but the colour display is next level stuff!!!  Its also great to have all the buttons on the MK6 steering wheel that I bought from Ed a while back all working properly too.  On my instagram (mateguv) there are more pics and videos of these clocks showing the needle sweep etc. if you want to see it in action.



  Big thank you to Eddie_NL who never fails to impress with his knowledge and workmanship - cant wait to get the high beam assist working 

Wow you've been very busy and I'm loving those multi colour clocks 

[MateyGuv]

They really do change the feel of the interior and brings it up to date nicely. It took a while to find them but I really wanted the colour 200mph clocks.....not that the car will ever do 200mph but it looks cool. Quite a rare set tbf @r5gtt
They may be for sale soon 

[r5gtt]

Along with a mk6 MFSW I'd say they look amazing and change the look of the interior bringing it up to date 

The problems being that they cost a fortune and require the ABS pump to be replaced so get tricky and then the programming    then I'd need a CH as mine is mid line atm. 
I like the earlier scirocco MFD you had before the newer one although the newer one is banging  @MateyGuv

[MateyGuv]

I forget youv got an early GTi, my ABS pump was fine thankfully. The white display MFD clocks are quite easy to get hold of

[r5gtt]

Yeah it's going to be a headache as Id need to source a pump then fit it with all the extras I need too.

[MateyGuv]

Over the next month or so I'm going to be putting the car back to standard. If anyone is interested in the car as it is please message me or if there are any parts you'd want message me too. Will be loads easier if whatsapp is used
