Should be on each side of the radiator. I think the feed hose is on the right (if you sit in the car) and the exit hose is on the left (again, when you sit in the car) right in front of the airbox.

Today I went and got a quote for a front bumper respray and was happily surprised by the cost. Will be getting it done in the spring I think. £450 for full removal, full prep and spray.
Thanks mate
Will try locate tomorrow after work, car should be all warmed up. Need to find my little IR gun too.
Just want to solve all these issues once and for all and have peace of mind.
Got her washed nice and clean.
Heat issues part 101
I think I may have a heater matrix issue? Noticed for a while sometimes I’ll be sweating in my car and the temps only set to 22c. Asked a friend who was a passenger and they agreed it’s defo hotter than 22c
I checked vent temperature for right and left reporting 44c+ sometimes via obd11 and also used an infrared gun.
Somethings not right.
Think this weekend is going to be a diagnostics weekend then back to dealer with a load of screenshots and data
Still need to check coolant radiator pipe for flow too

Took on a pothole and lost! Instant sidewall kill on the front right tyre
Week later I’ve got creaking on full lock, got under the car and turns out the front right lower control arm is slightly bent at the bush.
I've ordered a LEMFÖRDER front right control arm and ball joint to sort it.
Quick question for those who’ve done these on MQB cars —
What hardware should I be ordering alongside it?
Looking for:
Cheers

Looking for:
- Which stretch bolts/nuts need replacing
- Part numbers
- Best place to buy them (dealer / TPS / Autodoc etc)
Cheers
Steering/tie rods could also be affected, double check that. Off course get it aligned afterwards 
Today I've installed fire extinguisher under the passenger seat. For HB it is much better place as there is no dedicated place in luggage compartment. Hopefully it will never come in handy!
Yes it is! It was available under 6A7 or 6A8 PR code.
One thing not OEM in my car is fire extinguisher itself, as dealers cost is ~400€
I don't know what type of fire extinguisher is considered to be "standard" in different countries than Poland, but the "standard" one will not fit. OEM one is thinner and longer version of 1kg extinguisher named "GLORIA". Here is a comparison photo.
Do you not have under seat storage boxes on your seats? My FR has the storage boxes on both front seats
It was also optional, same as fire extinguisher. In my case I have storage only under driver seat
