What did you do to your Mk5 today?

[5pot]

Took it to the police station for some photographs after some *&^%&*%$ sideswiped it while my girlfriend was driving it on her own. My girlfriend crossed the intersection to pull over and exchange details but whoever they were then sped off leaving her with no chance to get their registration number.

Left a large crease and lots of scratches, etc from the front quarter to the rear quarter on the driver's side. Scuffed up the driver's front rim pretty bad too.

Sigh.

Just fitted a new Rev D piston DV. It was much easier putting the new one in than taking the old one out!

I have just done 50,000 km and the old diverter valve (rev G) was still fine (for how long, who knows?).

[eek]

Ahh that sucks! Scum!

All the more reason to get a dash cam of some sort to record incidents like this.

Without any details, sadly, the police will most likely ignore you...since they have better things to do like modified defect cars, etc

Did you take it off just for cosmetic reasons or do we all have to remove them? The current blue one doesn't bother me so much..

The rego sticker is no longer required in NSW so you can remove it.

I took mine off in early Jan this year.

Yeah I know its not required, but was wondering if people were taking them off because they had to or because they were doing it for cosmetic reasons...

You can leave the rego sticker on if it's a "current" registration. (maybe even if it isn't considering they are no longer a valid certificate)

Cosmetic reasons for me - i hate having any stickers on the windows. So the rego label was promptly removed from both our cars in early Jan. I keep the rego sticker as well as the servicing sticker inside the owners manual folder thingy in the glovebox.....just incase i ever need to reference them etc.

They don't have to be removed. It's no longer illegal to display old rego stickers.
Stickers haven't been required since 1 January, I just renewed my rego on Thursday so thought it was a good time to take the old one off, old habits I guess.

Stage 2 GIAC DSG Tune - Thanks Tim!

Eurojet Intercooler - Also, thanks Tim!







First impression: The DSG tune is amazing for the car. Shifting is even more seamless than before and it's damn smart. In sport mode with traction control engaged it automatically gears up to reduce wheel spin at a lower RPM. The regular factory tune never did this for me.

The manual shifting is a lot faster too on down and up shift with no jerkyness either way. Haven't tested the Launch Control just yet with the new RPM limit.

Changed the DSG fluid in the Jetta today. Much smoother shifts and doesn't feel like there's drag on the transmission when stopped in traffic in drive now. Win
