New ride: '02 MK4 GTI

[leighaus]

changed coolant sensor..... looks like it was due..



had to take off the front bar to change the TB to IC hose



only to realize there must be different hoses for AGUs... which is odd for this part



ended up cutting off about 3 inches to make it work.

Probably a bit late now but you can move the whole front section, bumper support radiators lights all together. You get about 40cm extra room in front of the throttle body. Once the bumper is off its just 4 bolts.

thanks for the tip mate.

Once the bar and d/s headlight were out i had enough room to remove the IC and clean that and to change the piping over

spent most of the day cleaning the car... it was well overdue.

Silvers always so nice. Interior looks mint! Decent little mods list in your sig! Any more plans for this thing?

no more mods planned really now that i have a mortgage and my money is in a joint account with the near-wife. Just keep servicing etc. Its got enough go for the streets and it wont be hitting the track anytime soon.

I actually just cleaned the seats using an upholstery attachment on my new vacuum cleaner i bought. I will be renting a shampoo vac soon though and doing them properly to see what else i can lift out of it. (available at most shopping centres).

I have some trims to re-add to the the underside of the dash that have been out for months, and ill probably retrim my faux wood when its a sunny day and im bored.
