What did you do to your Mk5 today?

[bazzle]

Booked mine in for a service, and was informed that it's due for a 60k major! $950ish at Essendon VW! Argh. The new(er) car learning curve just got steeper. Previous owner mentioned nothing about this of course, even when I asked him specifically. Anyone know if I have any other options here or do I just bite the bullet? I've got the 3 year extended warranty and I understand that dealer servicing is a condition.

Sorry this is in the wrong place .... but

Just do it, amortise the $$ and it isnt too bad.

Also ring another dealer for a comparable price

Understand may not be to everyone's taste; although they are functional for my needs.. Thule aero bars and Thule BA 594 (side arm, downhill bike carrier). Due to my bike frame its the only one that fits!

Mate what do you think of the sidearm? I need to get something similar for my dh bikes.

Fitted new piston type diverter valve and got rid of forge bov spacer. Ahh so much smoother

Visited Harding Performance in Brisbane and had the stage 1 APR tune loaded. Couldn't help myself after having the trial.

Much more responsive - just the way it should have been from the factory.

got a torque arm insert from guy at hp. interesting place you have guy and top notch service too. i'm thrilled to bits with the insert. she drives much more like she did from the factory and axle tramp is pretty much gone. well worth it. your other half might whinge about the vibration though and it can get a bit juddery right on idle but it's worth it for how crisp it makes the drive train feel.

returned it to stock

Tinted the indicators on the mirrors and tail lights.




Whaddaya reckon, should I go darker on the tails? I have to pull one off anyway and redo it as I put a run mark in one tail light. And I want to finish them off with some clear as the finish is kinda matte atm.

Washed it on Saturday

Got new wiper blades! LOL
...$63 bucks for the pair, but have to say money was well spent.




...and a APR chip trial, quiet impressive, but somewhat worried....

Took it down to Essendon VW for it's 60k major service. I shall be substantially poorer by the day's end, but the GTI should be substantially happier I hope.

OMG where did you purchase these tints?? I've always thought about tinting them but i was under the impression that tints gets too dark.

x2 to that!! Benno's in Brisbane (judging by plate covers) so I wanna know where I can get the tint from.. Pleeeaaaaseeee? Also Benno, what sort of clear finish are you going to recommend?

Also, I got my windows tinted to darkest legal (will post pics soon) and cleared my back window from all stickers (including the VWWC) in anticipation for my new Black VWWC sticker. Got the idea from Treza360's R32 - Cheers mate
