Still makes interesting reading. If you've got updates I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested.

cleaned it,
popped the back seats back in,
all over wax n buff,
set most of the wiring for the amp and speakers,
and now just waiting for the panzer plate to arrive!

Havent seen this gti for yonkas now.

Car looks awesome now with the painted r32 kit.

Installed new Battery.

Old one was dated MAY 06.

Wasn't dead just yet but didn't want to start car a couple of times lately after running radio with engine off. Didn't seem to be holding up as well it should.

Old Battery RACV 500CCA
New Battery Century DIN53LMF $200 from SuperCheap.

Car starts more energetically now

Checked codes before and after, it's throwing a lambda sensor heater circuit code at the moment. Must look into that one day......

its raining in sydney...? was 38oC already here at 11 this morning by the lake. Could barely even touch my car after it got left in the heat

[Manaz]

Yep, raining on and off. Will be interesting to see if my paint is still beading the water when I get back to the car late this afternoon.

Picked up a small Kincrome socket set today as a tookit to work on the car. It proved useful pretty quickly.

Also picked up a 5L bottle of Castrol Edge Sport 5W30 oil.

Can't beat good tools. I need a decent set of spanner.
I hope to get my new ignition control module in a day or two. The Beemers been getting all the attention the last two weeks while the golfs been of the road....the golfs going to have all of it's novelty back again

That was the idea. I like the peripheral drive system that Kincrome use for their sockets. I figured I'd just start with a small set, and see where I go from there.

Apparently I need a 7mm allen/hex driver to replace the sliders in my brake calipers - that'll be the next purchase.

For what it's worth, although I got my tools at Bunnings because I had a $50 gift card to spend, Transquip (www.transquip.com.au) seem to have great prices on tools if you're not in a hurry for them.

Car Insurance Claim

Today I made a claim on my car insurance

Took the wife and kids on a shopping trip to Harbourtown (the qlders will know where I mean)...as you do.
Called into Maccas at Helensvale on the way home for lunch and was hit from behind while stopped at the traffic lights getting back onto the M1.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

"Apparently" the guy in the Kia Pregio (van) "didn't see the red light".

Luckily he wasn't going very fast so the damage isn't too much...but still, makes me angry when I'm stopped at the lights and get hit from behind and all he can say is "ah well, s&*t happens"

Off to the panel beaters in the morning.....

The dealership had issues - the genuine R32 splash shields didn't fit my 1.8T hubs and the genuine R32 brake lines didn't fit (not sure why, but it may have been length?).

They're on now though

certainly was the length.. they were going to rub on the strut. and the splash shields would only line up correctly on one hole..do they stop alright?? im thinking about doing it on mine now after doing yours
