Was the coilpack work done under the VW used car warranty Alex?

Shame you're miles away btw  :laugh: Did you get to use an RNS and move any closer to purchasing one?
The badge is a nice touch although I settled for the OEM + black one  :party:

It was done under Volkswagen Warranty according to the paperwork. The car is almost a year out of its original warranty.

Aye tis a shame. Perhaps...though after buying the VCDS lead I think I'll have to wait till next month or so

Bodywork is more important atm to me, and I'm probably going to get the front end resprayed along with Saint Steve after easter

Been doing some tinkering today

Went in for the coilpack recall earlier and walked out with four new coilpacks which I was pleased about.

Then got onto making some minor changes...who can spot what ive done!  :grin:




Also treated myself and ordered a Rosstech Hex+Can USB lead from Gendan which should arrive on Tues as for how often I like to use it, borrowing one isn't an option

Nice suttle mods Alex . :happy2:

Did some more cool things today  :signLOL:

Fitted the S3 jacking points to the car as it will be useful considering I do all my own work

Arranged my RNS510...hopefully it will come at the weekend  :happy2:



And finally, repaired my drivers bolster which had cracked:

It used to look like this (notice the wear on the bolster)....



And now it looks like this....



Im rather pleased with the finish. Its very hard to tell I have recoated the finish at all

Looks a brave effort on the leather Al'. I wouldn't know where to start!

Good news with the RNS. You will use it every time you drive the car once it's in!  :jumpmove:
