You could always say it was a
'carbon pollen filter' they start off closer to grey than white ;) I haven't even looked at mine yet, I'm sure it will want doing though, when I get round to it.
 
so i finished off the debadage grill yesterday and today i put it in after spraying the rest of the grill matt black. Got a sunstrip and put the sticker on too, also dewipered the rear which is a C**t to get out

Treated it to a clean while at the Trafford centre left it in the car valet while I was shoppin with the misses and now its all shiny!
 
I was going to replace it I've read a few threads about removing it but I can't help but think it was put there for a reason. Lol
 
I thought that lol. It only does it after being driven for abit but if I switch It off and on again it boosts properly is that the common fault
 
No that sounds like limp mode you read the fault codes? I guess a n249 faulty would cause limp mode tbh I cant recall as I said they get bypassed

Found the passenger rear door is leaking in water (aye great build quality VAG, cheers :w4nk: ) so resealed that with the proper butyl rope.

Had to get the underlay out to get that dried properly, getting quite good at this now - had both leccy seats out and the underlay out in 10 mins :D

Before anyone asks, I've not put the carpet back in as there are still a couple of very small water leaks, and I'm not having it ruined until they get sorted. ;)
 
Mines leaking front passenger it's on the list of things to fix bloody vag ownership
