The little nugget loved the drive🥰 and me too😄… got some 👍🏻👍🏻 on my way back home. Parked it in the garage and left it there…
I had to go back to Croatia the next day…
Had some work done arround the house and in the garden and then it was time to wake up all the rides 😍
Edition 30 was first… no hickups just key in ignition and start🥰
Then it was 20 Years ‘s turn… Connect battery, check all fluids and start 😎👍🏻

Most of the work has been done now… Still some room to improve in and outside 😉
But for now I’m enjoying to drive it😍
Woke her up after 5 months🫣… Key in ignition and it came back alive after first crank😍❤️ Thought it would be more difficult😅

Was a shame to have to replace it as the top was mint with PPF fitted.
Fitted a genuine used bonnet in the right colour. Also bought a pair of genuine wings in the correct colour which were very good as they were replacements. In storage for the time being but had to have them.
One of the wings is now obsolete from Volkswagen.
Replacement bonnet fitted , need to have a look at the headlight alignment and the bumper. Will do that when changing the intercooler.

« Last post by JamieSmeatonVW on April 11, 2026, 09:04:10 pm »So, another quick post.
I’ve updated the ZF Gen 3 Steering Rack firmware from Early Version 1K0 909 144 C to Late 1K0 909 144 R, so I can change the TTRS Parameter for better weight and feel.
I also updated the ABS module from 1K0 907 379 AP to 1K0 907 379 CE. I really wanted XDL, but it isn’t supported on my original ABS unit—only BL & BG. I think I’m going to fit a BL unit and then update it to CE firmware, as that’s the latest. That way it’ll support XDL, HHC, and more 🙂
So far, I’ve noticed a big difference in the steering. It’s lighter at slow speeds, centres faster, and feels sharper. At higher speeds it’s a lot heavier and more precise—definitely a worthwhile upgrade in my opinion, especially for a software change.
One thing I’ve noticed: when I hold the ESP button, the traction control light flashes. This is after updating from AP to CE. I think this might be full ESP off and stability control disabled, but I’m not 100% sure—either way, it’s a nice upgrade 🙂

The injectors were actually still in decent condition for the mileage baskets weren’t too bad.
Car is a lot smoother and peace of mind to protect the engine.
Car warms up much quicker now with the new thermostat, the car still had the original fitted so that had done pretty well.
