Corrected the bonnet.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Not yet, not been ran for long though since. Going to Niki for mapping in 3 weeks and he said he can map it out..

Easy to remove, 2 10mm bolts and a 10mm nut hold the canister in. The top pipe which goes onto it just unclips at the other end, and there's another hose onto the stainless pipe which runs across the engine.

Just blank that pipe which goes across the engine and run a silicone hose from the other pipe (it's a breather from the fuel tank) to the floor to let any fumes espcape.

Gave the Golf a quick clean (okay, it took 4 hours) and spent some time trying to find a boost leak but with no luck.

Lowered it and gave it a quick clean :)

The springs are feeling rather firm at the moment (H&R) hoping they will settle in still need to get the alignment done!
