Serviced it. Castrol Edge 5W30 and OEM parts courtesy of Dave at Sere. Hope the pollen filter doesn't start leaking lol what a stupid design! Gave the throttle body a clean too, wasn't too bad I was expecting worse but it was a little gummed up. Seems to have stopped it idling like a piece of **** when its cold but think that might be more down to the spark plugs, they were shagged! Shes good to go for another year!
How often should you consider changing the gearbox oil and coolant?

Any way the 2 other grills could go back on?
Yeah I have vagcom but havent done it yet. Not too sure how to do it, which of these is the correct procedure do you know?

[Select]
[01 - Engine]
[Measuring Blocks - 08]
Group 060
[Go!]
[Switch to basic settings]
Once you do this you will see the top right display say ADP RUN. The TB adaptation is being done as soon as you switch to basic settings. You will see the values change and hear the TB cycle for the first few seconds then it will stop. Leave it in Basic Settings for about 30 seconds.
[Switch to Meas. Blocks] button and you're all set.
Be sure not to touch the accelerator and make sure the engine is NOT running when you do this!
Coolant 3-5 years normally
Gearbox oil, errr, when the clutch is replaced? Not very often really, gonna do mine soon, no doubt it's the first time, unless the gear box has been out before (95k now)
Managed to get my drivers 'welcome' light fitted and working, looks cool!
now gotta do the passenger (front) one... Pics to follow...

VW told me it's transmission oil for life, had mine done on the new box that went in as a precaution though
Fair enough, I've always changed mine more as precautionary measure also...
And it's a good way to see if there any filings floating around.

Love the welcome lights. Where did you get them.?
After making a 'sturdy set up' and got in my driveway. Fully cleaned the car, filled it with V-power and had a day out with the lads
Rather spend a day in the car than sitting at work

Not in this condition, tubing sticks out the front too much. Im looking into a bigger IC, I still have the chance before going stage 2 custom map this summer

Not necessarily, you don't have to drain the gearbox oil to take the box out
Cheers
As lee said, ebay, item no:
400448581299
I had a few issues with fitting, they kept going out, but I just assume they switch off them selves/time-out, which is fine with me, I don't normally take more than a five minutes to get in and out lol.
Under £15 too...
