Thanks for the offer. Mine is fine but I thought that when doing a coolant system service, the thermostat gets replaced?
Replacing OEM VW rubber with SamcoSport Silicon Coolant Hoses (6 pack) in Blue.

I would only change one if it wasn't working. Access is pretty bad and you risk breaking something else......

Sourced a set of 17's from a 6r. Only problem is how pathetic my rear brakes look now!

I did a check of under hood and under car in advance of Sydney trip next week. Had a good look underneath checked the chassis/suspension/etc. All good and ready to roll. I have a nearly full tank of 98 RON BP Ultimate. Will check tyre pressures again on the departure morning.

Anyone recommend best route/roads and stopovers departing Brisbane early 5th Nov to arrive Sydney morning o nthe 7th Nov?

We sort of like the idea of Yamba and Foster to stop and look around.

Cheers Al

Hey Chris,
I like the 6R 17s so much I'd also like a set for mine. Looks good on your red Gti.
Cheers Al
