What did you do to your MK6 today?

Installed hatch button from Double Apex.....

While i'm sure the button itself is high quality, I feel the actual design on it could be so much better. Looks like someone had 5 minutes to come up with it before they shipped it off to be made.

Same happened to me. I read on here somewhere to get a hacksaw blade against the bolt and use an impact driver to spin the bolt. Cuts through in just a few seconds. Worked great.

Removing my other side front strut yesterday was a problem. The nutsert in the 034 strut mount stripped. This has happened on other cars that I've worked on in the past and actually happened to ^ Riceburners car as well the day prior. Most of the time you can put a vice grip on the bottom side to hold it and then it comes out. Mine of course is being stubborn so I am having to cut the mount out. Had to remove the cowl to be able to impact the strut bolt off which allowed me to remove the strut while leaving the strut mount in. Big pain in the ass.


Damn

You couldn't get a socket onto the back of the nut(sert) though, then try removing the bolt after soaking it in PB Blaster or something?

And that's why I always use anti-seize on those mount bolts, since we're in the salt belt

Why is the front of my car missing?



It got a new APR intercooler, that's why!



I also removed the front license plate holder and filled the holes with some painted push fasteners.



And while I was there, I installed smoke side marker lenses.

I finally picked up my mk6 gti! After almost 3 weeks it's mine! A bit afraid to get on the road being it is the first manual trans car I have bought and without much experience. This thing can GO! I LOVE IT! (Btw, what's up to all. First time posting on this forum.)

Congrats, you're really going to enjoy it once you get some more seat time with the manual. They're super fun little cars.

This place is full of info, do some looking around and start planning that first wave of mods :23: ;) :D
