The car looks nice but I would definitely swop those chrome mirror caps for red ones

Thanks. I am thinking of getting red mirror caps but can't find the caps on their own. Might think of wrapping them instead.

Could renew the link to the red pads?
Thanks!

Red pads? Or do you mean the washer kit?

VW Aero Wipers

Upgrade the front wipers to VW aero ones.

But it don't sit right. So had to adjust it a little higher. Ran out of energy trying to pull the old ones out so didn't cut it to size.

They look so much better and I don't get them wet spots left on the windscreen no more.

Sidelights upgraded from LED to CREE

I did this a couple of weeks ago... epic change in light output. Also got some Mkiv wipers come next week too.

Nice thread dude.

Thanks mate.

I was surprised how bright it was. Worth the monies.

The wipers are a great upgrade.
I just didn't have any energy left to trim it to size.
Make sure you spray a lot of lubricant on the wiper spindle and let it soak for a bit. I got impatient and had a fight and broke the original wipers.

Oil Catch Can

Been meaning to do this for ages but just been so lazy.

Not a hard job to do but a pain when everything starts breaking.

Didn't start of very well as one of the screws for the manifold cover sheared off.

Problems continued with a broken dipstick tube.

And broken crankcase breather tube.

All the crap came out and plumbed in the catch can.

Simples.

Parts I needed were:
2 metres of 19mm braided hose
1x 8mm bung
1x T-piece
Jubilee clips.

06A 103 213F - Crankcase breather hose
06A 103 663B - Dipstick tube

Got some 10mm hose ordered to replace the U-shape pipe from the right hand side of the manifold.
