Just be glad yours isn't a 1.4.
The water pump is separate from the belt, so extra labour costs. Brilliant way to make money
Sounds about right! Nice little money maker. I’ve heard the 1.4 is a peach of an engine though

Took another deep dive into the MIB2, this time to enable Android Auto splitscreen, without needing to root the phone or do any other modifications on the phone side:

I saw this mentioned on one of the news feeds on my phone today, it also mentioned your name!

Yes I’m that bloke that looks at the weather forecast & thinks yea I can get the car cleaned before the rain, how wrong was I, half way through snow foaming the heavens open.

Well I started so had to finish

I went into deep-dive mode again, in an effort to add new Ambient lighting zones and graphics for them.

Writing a script that generates images like this, showing the zones and where the graphics are aligned:

And with some help of a huge ambient configuration in the VW firmware:

I first got to this, with added controls for roof+center console (and misaligned graphics):

And now I'm here, with additional zones, controls and graphics:

Next up: creating a complete config with even more zones, so people can use it whenever they want to add more ambient lights to their car.


Bonus picture of me while working on this:

Been installing a tow bar on my ST, just need to finish the wiring from the middle of the car to the front and then get it coded in. Anyone been able to do this themselves or can anyone recommend someone cheap in the North West who can do this?

You can find these in the accessories catalogue. Part no 5F0863011L LOE for RHD cars. Far superior to the stock ones but they only go as a set since they are completely different and would look awful if you only bought one. Cost is about 85€ for the set here in Greece.

I did a cupra 290 exhaust style mid resonator delete and disabled the fake engine sound box with vcds on cupra much better and no drone.

Picked up a golf r estate 7.5 exhaust a few weeks ago to replace my stock one on the cupra st 300 once I get enough money to have it done. Should look so so so much better. I love the oem quad tips look :D

Getting the last mot certificate corrected. The mileage is incorrect and I didn’t notice at the time 😖
