nope...I can see the benefit though for those hard to reach areas.... that sounds so wrong.

Haha. Don't worry, once I knew no better. I know it does something because previously (using 2 buckets). The water I tipped out was filthy and that's what I was putting back on the car with the mit. But now, both buckets are crystal clear. Makes washing so much easier.

Just changed the VW icon on my DNX520VBT to the piccy below.

Still regret buying this over an Android unit tbh, but hey ho!

Does anyone know where to get the screws to mount it?

At present only the fascia is holding it in, but I've had it pop out and put me into 4th under hard acceleration once.

Changed oil and filter

Do I use a funnel or not? nah I'll be ok.

Only managed to spill some oil down the back of the engine

Finally put a perm fix in for my unplanned wiper delete.

Wasn't planning on doing this but some little sh1t snapped off my wiper at a point where the whole thing would need replacing.

Anyhoo, had a cheap plug thingy from eBay that ended up being jet washed out by the Turkish car wash guys at my gf's shop (I'm not holding it against them, I get free details ).

Bought a Kill All Wipers glass fill in and some sealant and did it last night, just in time for rain!

Looks crap atm, but a bit of Windolene should sort it out right?

Well advised move!

I managed to do mine and I'm a clumsy fool at times. I wish I'd gotten the full new O-ring and bolts kit now, but tbf mine wasn't in that bad a condition so I don't think it'd long been done.

There was a bit of rain today so...whipped the quik detailer out once it dried up....naturally. It’s pretty satisfying with wax on when you can give it a quick going over and it looks as clean as when you spent hours on it.

This is quickly turning into an addiction...

I got like that a few weeks back.

It finished with me polishing the exhaust, which I always thought was a brushed black..... turns out it was chrome all along!!!!

Whoops! Maybe I’ve got a chrome exhaust hidden away...on second thoughts it probably is just steel as presumed lol

Haha. Yeah I meant the chrome coloured tips.

I'm considering an upgrade as mine has the centre section that's screwed apparently.

Do I really want to spend more tho, or wait till it dies?

I'd rather get some PS4s on it instead. All about the corners atm!
