Recieved my US Spec smoked tails and had them installed by night.

Now I need to clean my car once the rain stops.

Pics to follow by the weekend.

went to visit my mechanic, new rocker cover gasket needed... explains the oil burning in the engine bay

Continued the treatment of the leather interior Gavin and I fit 2 weeks ago. Used about a quarter of a bottle of Leatherique No. 1 on the front seats. Am going to leave it for a couple of days to really soak in, then apply the Cleaner.



- appears shiny in the pics until it soaks into the leather ...



Also checked the new brake booster hoses we (read Gavin) fit last night - they're still there(!)



- and the lower control arm bolts are still tight so looks like the front suspension clunking is sorted.

What's the verdict on the 1.8T?

Heh Those lines are real wankers. Couldn't figure out why it was running like crap until i saw it broke near that valve there. Replaced that line with flexi vacuum line and still had the problem. It turns out it broke at the next part and broke again when i replaced that. Stupid hard lines. How much did that cost to get fixed?

[RolfGolf]

They seem to crack with regularity - odds are that if one end is cracked the other one soon will be. Cost me $160 for the two hoses from the dealer as I couldn't source them elsewhere - ie. the complete two hose/valve assembly you see out of focus in the front and the one that's in focus clipped to the firewall - $86.45 each but I talked them to $80

Today.

Just gave her a oil change and new oil filter. Installed Bright White Headlights and redone my tail light tinting.

Coming up alright in the looks dept now.

Thats all for this week till my fogs arrive

Also, ordered Foggys from germany to sit in the lower gaurd, gonna take about 21 days to arrive. n

Just pulled RHF lower control arm to replace bushes. Checked Waste-gate actuator and waste-gate for freeness.....
Sometimes it boosts.... sometimes a get nuffin... like the waste-gate sticks. Seems its something else

hes keen, but could be a pain in the arse and a lot of mucking around.
Getting it all in no worries, getting all the various components in the car to talk is something else in the mk4s
