What did you do to your Mk5 today?

Put a new air-freshner in, strawberry to be exact. Now it smells like Macca's strawberry milkshake.

I picked up a second hand APR downpipe a few weeks back and finally got around to the install today.

My exhaust shop did the custom pipework installing the Downpipe + 3" hurricane HFC and 3" pipe back to the existing resonator/exhaust. Then a trip to Harding Performance to have the APR software updated.

It's made a mild difference to the power, and a lower/nicer note when putting the boot in.

So, very happy with the result.

The Jetta had its 45000 kilometer service done at Camberwell VW,at a cost of just over 300 dollars,including wheel rotations,and car washed.
Pretty happy.

Drove my new GTI for the first time. Went in and had dinner. Watched some cr@p on tv. Then had to go and drive it again ! Last time I did that with a car it was 1983 ! Nobody told me how good it was going to feel driving one of these. Well, plenty did, I just didn't believe it. I love how even in "D" drive the DSG feels like it's changing gears like it's a manual. And that little turbo "phut". What a hoot !

Congrats on the new car mate.. Turbo's are always fun and you will never get enough of the rocket feeling.

Hell even in my TDI it manages to put a smile on my face

Had a busy weekend last week.

after failing to go on the Brisbane cruise (battery failed),

i roped a friend into doing some stuff on the golf.

replaced the air filter, fuel filter (can anyone say BLACK

) and the cabin filter.
replaced a faulty brake light switch, and now my cruise always works (it used to be intermittent),
added a set of spot lights, and changed the parkers for some LED types.

on the plus side, my hot starting problem seems to have gone away. i think my old battery (the original and so about 4.5 years old)
was slowly dying for a some time. now with the new battery, it fires into life straight away, turn key & go.

ill post a separate thread about the spot lights and the led parkers shortly for those that might be interested.

Jason.
