Car had a "decent" service history but checked the pollen filter and fuel filter the other day and they looked disgusting so time to take them all out!

Usually I go to TPS and get all the parts (just like my MK2's and MK3) but my local TPS is refusing to deal with customers again at the moment, so 60% off code was used at GSF.

Used an unopened bottle of Quantum (from TPS) 5litre oil I had left over from when turbo blew on my old MK2 Golf TDI.

So my exhaust started rattling/banging yesterday, Inspected it today and the old owner has bodged it, the exhaust hanger has snapped so they have welded a jubilee clip to it, that has now snapped off and also the exhaust rubber has snapped.

I have ordered the new rubber (it also comes with a clamp) for £7 now on the search for a decent FR or Cupra R backbox (eventually going to straight through it anyway)

4x new jacking point covers, have attempted to spray them myself, don't look too bad but ain't 100% happy with them.

Hopefully picking up 4x LCR black wheels tomorrow.
