What did you do to your Mk5 today?

[Fatherless One]

Had my windows tinted and the A/C compressor replaced!

I am now cool but broke!

Much better than sweating it our in our summer heat and worse our humidity

Oh yeah! Due to cashflow and holidays I drove around without it for 3 weeks and by the end I was looking for any opportunity to go out in my wife's car! Driving in the storms last week was an exercise in 1980s demisting techniques!

The tints really help too as well as improving the look of the car!

Fitted a new Pioneer App Radio head unit and reversing camera cabling (camera will go on in the next couple of weeks).

Plastidipped my wheel ... again.

Got an APR tune at Muller and Muller today for my Jetta 147. Fantastic customer service and I will be back!

Nothing too fantastic,
-installed the DNS810 headunit,
-pulled all the tails out and replaced some blown globes,
-tinted the tails, need to re-do the outers (eventually I'll get some r32 tails)
-put a VWW sticker on her for +10KW, lol
-cleaned up RVC wiring
-cleaned inside and out
-and topped up fluids for the drive over to Melbourne tomorrow.

Looks good man.

[Mattlock]

I tidied up the new head unit wiring and made the tilt mechanism a touch smoother.

Also finally got around to finishing the RVC install!

I pulled the battery out to try and find the coolant leak - i think it is coming from the bottom t-connector tubing but it could be coming from somewhere else - any ideas. I'll try and snap a few photos to add in a second.

[jmaxwell47]

Hopefully you guys can see...the dead giveaway to me is the rusting clips on the t-connector but like I said, it may be coming from elsewhere but not sure the pics are clear enough to show where it would be leaking. Anyways, any feedback would be great.
I am assuming I need to get it pressure tested and start from there so if anyone knows of a mechanic that is open on Sundays, I need to get this fixed ASAP.

[TDIESEL]

Fitted my new Dieselgeek short shifter. WOW..what a difference in shift feel!!!

[polski_ogurek]

Installed gti gear shifter for a change of scenery.

After much research I finally decided to fit a Sprint Booster to my TDI.

Result - HOLY THROTTLE RESPONSE BATMAN!!

I was umming and ahhing over whether to do this for a while now as I was torn between the numerous amount of people who already swear by this contraption, and those who swear it's a piece of placebo and you could do the same thing by pressing the loud pedal quicker and harder. The fact that the latest adjustable version is around $350 also didn't help but after finding the original non-adjustable version for $150 brand new I thought what the heck. Am so glad I did now!
