So I started install some of all the items I've got laying around for the Golf forever now.
Removed the entire front end incl. intercooler, A/C condensor etc etc..
When I was done removing stuff I saw that my alloy pipe from the EGR to the intercooler had a hole in it, which explains the lack of performance the car have had the last few month - the pipe had rubbed agains the corner on the oil cooler
So when I ordered a new pipe from Darkside Developments I could start doing some stuff.
Tried to clean as much I could before I did anything else.. Swapped all old nuts and bolts out I could replace with some new anti rust pieces. Pulled of the airbox to install my AEM air kit from Darkside Developments, which went smooth. After that I pulled the entire dashboard out once again since I've swapped a flapmotor for the A/C during the install of the mk6 dashboard not so long ago. Got everything sorted so all motors are sitting right and is working 100%.
While I had the dashboard out I pulled the wirering to retrofit "Side Assist" and "Anti Dazzle - side mirrors". Now all the wirering just need to go into the connectors. Installed the mk6 dashboard again and finaly connector the TMPS button I've had in the car for a year without connecting it :)
After that I started tackle my right(passenger) door since I had to replace the window regulater. Pulled of the door skins, while I had everything apart I replaced the all wirering door loom with a new one from VW that I had pulled the new speaker cable trough, since I've placed the X-over unit up in the dash hidden away. So... New window regulater, new speakers setup, new wirering and new interior doorhandle with illumination. Did the handles and window button not so lang ago so they still look new.
So while I'm waiting to do the wire harness for the "Anti theft/tow" retrofit I went outside in the front again. Pulled apart the EGR and cleaned it. Installed the turbo end from the hard pipe kit I bought from Darkside ages ago but never got around fitting this end - Just haven't had the time to do it untill now.
Flushed the whole cooling system so this will be ready for some now fluid when everything is connected again. I also installed a new reservoir for the cooling fluid since the old was not that great looking.
Anyway.. Feeling that this never ends my dad brought back my new bumper since I'm doing all the work at his place and I couldn't fit the bumper into the car when we were leaving. Installed the PDC sensors, headlight washer system and just admired my bumper is finaly getting on the car on monday! Feeling it been months since I've bought it hehe
Will post pictures when I'm on a laptop so that you can see the progress.
