GTI Edition 40 / Clubsport Thread

**Bassik** · 02-04-2017, 09:49 AM

Hey all,

I'm back. I haven't been on this thread for a while but just bought myself a 40th and enjoying every bit of it so far. Took it to the cleaners yesterday and the Id*&ts did this to my steering wheel.

Any idea how I could fix. I'm either thinking deal with it or trim the lose threads. Looks like they hacked at it with a coarse brush. I wouldn't have let them do that but what can I do now?

I'm thinking you take it back to them and make them pay for a replacement and if they refuse, get a current affair on to their arse failing that should trim the lose threads. This is the reason I don't let anyone else wash or clean mine.

Yeah I've already written to them explaining if these so called professionals... (I know they aren't) are mean to take care of your car you would expect some sort of diligence. Doing this is not on.

You got a pic of what it should look like because before this (from previous owner) it was black... as in sweat and grim covered it...

What tyre pressures are you guys running out of curiosity?

I found mine were pretty low

38psi front & rear

Im running 40 at the front, 39 rears.

Theres something that's been bothering me. There is some serious heat coming through the firewall. I reckon at times when it was warm that i was a lamb roast in an oven.

Seriously, has anyone else noticed this? Probably wouldn't need a heater in winter.

I'd like to get a heat shield, or a turbo blanket/exhaust wrap combo.

Looking to do the folding mirror thing soon also.

Wow what the hell... My front were close to 30 and I had the tyre sensor go off.

I upped them all to 34-ish and thought that was an improvement.

Mind you it was just a dodgy petrol station sensor... Will have to look into this...

Anyone know how you could possibly find out what build number your 40th is?

If 500 were only shipped to AUS how could I find out what number mine is?
