What did you do to your Mk5 today?

Thanks for that, I will go to bunnings and get some strong tape.

So with the Jetta 11,000km overdue for its service and being too broke to pay someone to do it, I did my first DIY oil change on the MK5. Actually easier than a Mk4.
I'm not a fan of the plastic oil filter housing though, I don't know how it did not crack.

Dude, why didn't you do a shout-out on the forum earlier? I'm sure somebody would have offered to help / mentor you through the process.

Paddle shift extensions look good for something so cheap.

installed a RCD510 on a 06 GTI,


read on the web that having a factory amp stops the battery drainage, also found this which might solve the problem?

Thanks for that. I had no problems with it at all, it is very simple.

Today I replaced a blown headlight bulb, not the 1st time but it is again easier than previous generations of VW, with the twist out holder and all.

New wiper blades, did the Kmart refill trick found here in the Mk4 DIY. Saved at least $50.

Painted my rims gloss black

thought I'd check my cam follower today.....


and also does it matter if the top high pressure fuel sensor has a crack on it but no fault codes yet?

[h100vw]

The HFPF is probably the least of your worries if the follower has got to that point. Like where is all the missing metal now?????? What does the cam look like?

that's what i thought? from looking into the hole where the follower goes it looked okay and no funny noises or anything.
