Balls
In & Out!
Finally was able again to get around of one of these, didn't hesitate this time..
The install is a swift (close to not get it done on time for the local dubfest this weekend), I over read unnecessarily the instructions, nice outcome & visual upgrade :thumbsup:

Thanks! Yes it is definitely nicer than the regular versions, funny it came out back in the MK5 era.

Before the snow..
Getting some bits completed before the winter hit us, as usual the simple plan is not being underneath the car when it snows, which I have: no fun!
First fix which it should be free fog light access cover, crappy design that unless duct tape you will be always replacing it.
Catch can fix.
Remove this faulty leaky one, without knowing the replacement part's time it would take a lot to arrive.
So I ended up with a magic Gettho Home Depot's ingenious design to stop the issue in the meantime.
New part delivers and nice looking one too. Thanks Ron!
This one got overhauled as well, not as easy as it suggests the installation. Hopefully it won't become faulty like in any other intake manifold
Testing the waters with the subframe, not really in position to ad a more expensive kit but able to install another one fairly cheap.
After the install, Said and done car definitely feels more planted and no more clunking noise at the elevated rail crossings. Original bolts don't show stress mark but new kit it definitely changed the feel of the car.
Finally Installed this new aftermarket piece and I can give a positive feedback for those fellow owners with a rubber TQ Arm Inserts. Car doesn't shake in reverse like before, not so much harsh going forward either, definitely it mitigates better the wheel hop when you floor it, adding a metallic feel at the beginning without been sloppy or harder than other solutions, this should last until I decided if I ever wanna go to a more invasive options with more NVH.
To be continued..:thumbsup:

Awesome. Is this a 2-way system or 1-way? Might get this installed on our GTI one day

Thanks guys! Not entirely plug & play per se, but three clicks turn the car on & same three turn it off. As for the 2-way system or 1-way, not sure. I’m totally illiterate in Electronics, Jesus installed for me, one small module.

What's up Man, thanks for the Freebie :thumbsup:
It's been Pure Maintenance:
*Hatch latch replaced.
*Washer fluid hose leak stopped permanently.
*Trunk light operational again & back to LED bulb with 75% visibility.
In other news, after 30K miles plugs got replaced as well; that gap was a horseshoe.
And in preparation for road trip..

Yeah there is a chance, I will keep you updated. Don't worry about the light Man - totally understand, the issue was actually more complex that we originally thought, it came out good at the end, operational.
