hi sharkie.

where did you get the auto headlight set up from?

just did a quick google and cant find it.

hows it sound running the miltek system on it?

The headlight switch is the same as a MK4 Golf, I just got it off Ebay.

Miltek sounds awesome, I really should take video of it.

Have you had much head way with the cruise control upgrade?

I am currently upgrading the stereo and doing some sound deadening in mine and want to do the cruise control retrofit. I can only find eurocar upgrades that have a kit but it's only the combo stick and the bcm.

If you’ve got a VW Scanning tool (VCDS, OBD11), you can check the version of you BCM.

Mines a 1S0937090D which means it supports cruise control already.

Have yet to hear back from Eurocar Upgrades on wether they do a stalk only option, otherwise kufatec do one :
Cruise control retrofit for VW up!

Just posted on your other post. Yeah you are luck with the bcm. I had to do a swap and ran in to a few issues with the retrofit but in the end with sharkies help to code I have it in my up and working.

Your best to grab the kufatec kit if you do it as it also give you the multifunction dash information to and the wiring is already pre done to install you only need to extend 1 wire to the ecu. The information for making the wiring is hard to find online these days cause all the guys in the UK have moved on from these to the up gti.

As preparation for the turbo (which needs an oil feed), I needed to source an oil feed and decided to double that up with an oil cooler to keep the turbo and engine cooler. Finally had an open weekend and got going with that

Front with the bumper off



Turns out there is no space for a FMIC, but there is a bit of space for an oil cooler; relatively easy to make brackets and fit.



The stock bumper has blackouts in spaces where I need airflow through, so opened them up.




And sandwich for the feeds installed and pipework completed.



Oil change done and no leaks (detected so far) after running the engine for a bit.
