What did you and your MK2 do today?

[WeeG]

Well gearbox was changed for millers nano tech as was the engine oil. First impressions are the gearbox feels very good as i fund it a bit clunky on cold start up. Also with the new oil there is a vast improvement on cold start up noise on the tfsi and the car is getting upto temp a fare bit quicker in this weather

Picked my car up from the garage after a 2 1/2 week wait for an ignition barrel. Need to find the time to give it a wash and polish now. Oh and the money for a new cam belt and 2 tyres.

Where is this?

I'm in the Netherlands...in the southern parts of the Netherlands to be a bit more
precise, very close to the border with Belgium.

We have some moderate snowfall in NL since 2 days. ...and I'm still driving on summer tires heheh..carefully though.

 

[AndrewJB]

We had similar snow in MK the other night

I think when I get my gearbox oil changed, I'll go for some of this. Unless there's something better out by then

Went to go pick up my mum a few mile down the road, was welcomed by the TPM light on dash with a beep, my initial thought was that one of my tires had been damaged or something, got out and had a visual but all seemed fine, got back in the car and reset it, will be keeping an eye on this the next few days :|

A visual check is not enough, got check the pressures. Mine came on and there was no visible difference but one tyre was down 10psi.

Today I admired the FR and pictured myself driving it....
Argh!!!! I want to drive!! 3 more months.

It might have been triggered with the cold weather reducing your tyre pressure. I wouldn't worry yet. Mine has been triggered a couple of times, the first time there was nothing wrong, the second was a different set of tyres and I had a valve swap, that sorted it! You might not need a new tyre

You could always let me borrow it, wouldn't want problems to occur from lack of use

It'll be worth the wait

I hope the weather has to play with this, ill have a look tomorrow and see how much the pressures have changed, im thinking of getting a new set of tyres in the new year summer.
Thanks for the heads up

Well me and my Mk2 had a nice round trip to bath and back yesterday 168
Miles each way, first long journey and at the end I didn't even have a numb ass lol

Saw 2 fellow FR's on the way back at around 8pm on the m5 cruised along with an 07 plate for a while...

Now I'll give her a clean...

Well some maniac with a pistol started chasing me Tuesday night but thanks to God and the Leon I was able to escape. It was like an action movie speeding and driving in the wrong direction, swerving left and right at a very high speed using the handbrake.. lol!

Was that related to the current political troubles there?

 

[Aaronb23]

Took my stage 2 fr(diesel) to wembley last night 222 miles averaged 52mpg first long journey iv done in it, pretty pleased with it.

 

[TarekElsakka]

Yes, I am almost 100% certain since national security forces are busy with all the protests and riots going around.

 

[bigbadjay]

Just finished a long ass week at work, 7 days and 6 night/early morning gritting routes, the mk2 did an exeptional job getting me to and from, safely efficiently and lookin badass!
