Ok! Here we go!

Some shots I took just after I picked the car up.. 11/11/11










Changed the stock main bulbs to some Philips Crystal Vision 4300k. The rest are still in their stock yellow bulbs!



Will try to get some shots with the tint. Looks much better!

Nice pics! What are the names of these wheels? Do you know the diameter and offset as well as weight of one?

Trying to decide if to stick with the ones I'm getting on mine. Interlagos style wheels are calling my name.

My favorite alloy wheels is the design which comes as standatd on the 2.0TSI and US SEL models...looks stunning.

No, took about 20 minutes from start to finish (and I'm not very mechanical). It is fiddly as it's a small space in the light housing and does require a bit of using your finger tips to feel the way - but it's not a hard job. Worth doing the change to LEDs.

Before anyone asks - got mine mail order from Superbrightleds in the US:

LED Car Lights & Bulbs, 12 Volt - Super Bright LEDs


Use the vehicle finder link on that page for a 2011 Jetta and there are a few types of 1156 LEDs available. Took about two weeks to arrive in the mail and they have been working perfectly. I would avoid the cheapo LEDs for sale on Ebay.

Managed to wash the car today. Some new pics with the tint.

My brother recently purchased a Skoda 77TSI and it has this same noise. I can replicate a very similar noise if i manually shake the wastegate shaft on the car (engine off of course). Its quite loose/slack and i think this is the cause of the rattle.

EDIT: upon further investigation it seems that this rattle is most likely either a fuel line or a/c pipe rubbing.

So I've been driving my Jetta for past couple of weeks and I'm loving it so far, despite the obvious cost cutting measures found around the car. However, a slight rattle has started to develop around the front of the engine whenever I push the throttle (not flooring it, just normal strength). It sounds like there's a loose screw or something similiar to a metallic rattle, i.e loose number plate. I thought the number plate wasn't not screwed in tightly to the bumper but it doesn't seem like it's the case.
.

Sounds like the wastegate rattle on the EA888 engine, this is covered in the mk6 golf and tiguan sections.
There is a clip the dealerships will provide to "solve" the issue.
