What did you and your MK2 do today?

[JohnnyMackers]

Not today but Sunday gave a good wash, clay and polish, used autogylm shampoo, super resin polish.. didn't take any pictures though apart from it raining yesterday and noticed the roof.

Quite a few swirl marks in paint which I'll sort out.

got some h7 led bulbs of ebay just to try them, brand nighteye or something

the passenger side went in fine and lined up great, drivers side, wont line up for some reason and i get the normal error message on the dash

but they seem nice and bright
need to get another look at the holder see what is happening

there is meant to be adjustment holes, but there is only one hole, so cant move it much

Just to check. You put them in with the tag at the top I think it goes? Maybe taking a picture from the front would help so we can see it. Maybe it's catching on those little diffuser things.

Il get a look on Saturday in daylight. I must had the second one in wrong. The first went in great no problems
Need to read the manual too see if the lights are meant to be vertical or horizontal
Order a canbus corrector thing too see if that gets rid of my warning

got the bulbs in today
the problem with the one bulbs that wouldn't go to the place meant too was the wee tags on the bulb itself
so a bit of electrical tape and that sorted it

not sure if i like them mind, the light if very close to the car, does it go far im used to philips racing vision and they seem to through the light more up the road
and with the need of the ebay 2X H7 LED Load Resistors 50W 6 Ohm Stop Car Light Flicker Cancel Error Message and thats just bulks everything up, cant put the rear cap on so its a mess with cable ties

but they are in and working, no error and not blinding anyone

Washed my fr using power maxed wax shampoo, polished with auto glym super resin polish and then waxed with poor boys natty paste wax.

Shampoo'd the rear carpets and mats after carrying two dozen eggs on the back seat and having to break hard for a bus that hesitated at a roundabout

Bet you were eggstatic to have to do that

Changed my recirc valve to be surprised to find my car had an 8 year old Revision D. Put a revision G on instead as its the better of the two types.

Im sure its not meant to but the old recirc came apart when lifting it out.

Have you noticed any difference?

I changed it in the staff carpark at work so not been able to drive it yet. I did start the engine and checked there were no errors and it would give boost using the Torque app on my phone.

Car pulls like a train now the new recirculation valve is in showing 23.7psi on the Torque app

I thought it was some kind of new cleaning idea I'd not heard of. Just smash 6 eggs on each mat... oooooooo.

Yeah, mine fell to pieces as well. Which was ace as I almost lost it down the pipe when it did!

Changed the windscreen/rear screen screenwash pump by removing the drivers side fog and changing the pumps over and cost £41.72 total so nice cheap fix for a VW pump to go in. Only took about 10 mins max to do.

£42?? That's crazy money for a part like that. Respected brands like Febi Bilstein start at around £13.

Glad you've got it fixed and working though.
