What did you do to your Mk5 today?

What did you do to your Mk5 today? Got rid of it. After the 3rd injector failure leaving us stranded again, air con failure, throttle body failure, alternator failure, the most unreliable car I've ever had anything to do with (including the old bomb i had while at uni) is gone. Now have a spare space in the garage to fill.

That's a shame that you got a lemon.

I super-polished my windscreen, windows and sunroof following the instructions in this video:

HOW TO: Super Clean Your Windshield - YouTube

Essentially: buy 0000 grade steel wool (box about $5 from Bunnings). Polish the windscreen using the steel wool, then apply two coats of Rain-X, before removing the haze with a damp cloth. I've never felt glass so smooth! I can't wait for it to rain now



(Before anyone asks, no - the steel wool does not scratch the windscreen. The 0000 grade is about as fine as you can get, and feels like a coarse cloth)

That's a very handy tip, I'm sure many people will use that. Thanks for posting it.
