Removed the rear breather tube to dislodge the check valve inside. I found the tube to be full of oil and now am hoping that the new valve cover will reduce this condition as it was causing little puffs of smoke when I began to roll from each stop.

I didn't take any, but this is it...and I removed the black check valve at the right end of the tube in this pic: https://changegears.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/dsc_1751.jpg

I think I will do a rear pcv tube delete soon though, and then add a VTA catch can after I get this: http://www.performancebyie.com/integrated-engineering-rear-breather-blockoff-plate-for-transverse-2-0t-fsi-tsi-engines

Sorry to know that. More of a nuisance than anything else (it could be much worse), but nonetheless, no need to steal stuff from other people's cars... :fighting:

Friday fitted a RNS-510 version P and a cherry red hazard switch. Yesterday went to a friend's house to get all the gadgets fitted. It went well. :pomppomp:

Got rid of the 3M carbon fiber wrap on my center grill and fitted the "Edition 30" badge bellow the "GTI" badge. :smiley:
Don't mind the bugs's massacre on the car's front end...


Mk6 Golf Climatronic fitted. This version doesn't have auto air recirculation, so I don't get AQS missing error. :smiley:


OPS front and rear sensors. :smiley:


Mk6 Golf rear view camera. :smiley:


Door warning lights with new version of the 3D LED. :smiley:


Also got other mods done that I don't have pictures: rear footwell lights, updated the Bluetooth module wiring (now voice command works and the sound from Bluetooth Audio streaming is stereo), fitted brushed metal tipped fuel door switch and fitted a new airbag ring (old one was looking too worn).

Tell me about it. Our area isn't too bad and certainly isn't a crime hotspot so i'm somewhat stumped as to why anybody would want four slightly white wormed centre caps.  :confused:

New set ordered off eBay for £30  :smiley:
