  • haha I'm guessing it's fallen into the rain tray or something when a mechanic was working on it and it slid into the wheel well?

    who knows lol.

    • I had a busy day...
      Oil and filter change
      Replaced a busted horn

      Replaced worn swaybar bushes. Spent close to 90min on it, then had lunch and worked out how to get the bush in properly 10min later was done. Lets hope this sorts the creaking noises.

      Installed new brake rotors and pads up front.

      Pad sensor had set the light on dash, but only because the sensor wire came out of the pad and got worn on the disk.
      Pads had heaps to go, has been 6 years and at least 120,000km
      I'm glad I pulled them out as I found the pads had come off the backing !

      EBC green stuff - Not really worth the extra coin.
      MK4 GTI - Sold
      MK5 Jetta Turbo - Sold
      MK5 Jetta 2.Slow - Until it dies.

        Pretty much all aftermarket speakers are going to need a spacer as they don't have the plastic shroud.
        If you don't want to go LOUD, my stock speakers sounded pretty good handling up to about 50W from my hertz hdp4.

          I had exactly the same issue with my 306GTi pug quite a few yrs ago. Ended up getting replacement pads after i pointed out "occasional track use" on their website. But had to fight for it. Cracks and peeling off the backing plate. Never again.

          • picked up another set of 312mm brakes.
            I sold the first lot after realising they killed my proposal for the BBS RS, but now the RS are gone, im in the clear.
            came from a TT, so will be interesting to see if the different ball joints and tie rod connection complement the suspension and tubular control arms or not.

            After many years of not having my head unit fit 100% I worked out the issue.
            I always knew it was getting jammed on something soft, but couldnt work it out...
            found there is wires that come out of the back of the headunit directly in line with the rear support for the radio cage.
            so hopefully can get in there and do some trimming without having the support fail.

              I did mine on the weekend, soldered in the yellow and red wires, and antenna boostet after months of bad reception and memory loss. Pushed all the wires to each side slid it in and now it stays there as before if i took off hard it would fall out :/ also the single din compartment on top needed trimming to fit too much happier now.

                          No, no, the ice tea goes in the fuel tank, it adds like 7 octane points! I'm just keeping the bottle in case i need it for the chihuahua install...

                              Yeah forgot about the pedals!

                              And Lito make sure you get before and after pics so we can see if it really works or not

                              Also picked up a Seat Arosa headlight switch to put in the mk4 - we will see what that looks like (when it arrives)
