What did you do to your MK6 today?

[uglybastard]

Haven't posted here in a while...and technically it hasn't happened yet...but trading in my 2012 GTI for a family hauler (a GLC 300) since we're expecting our second kid next February. I won't be removing all my mods but I'll probably have a Stealthbox with sub/amp for sale, some winter wheels, and anything else that's in my garage/storage for sale soon!

I'll BOLO for your for sale ad for the miscellaneous and mods, since I'm not far. Congrats on the new addition!

I feel like I’m getting the full high mileage VW experience with my car this week. Things keep going the way they have and I’ll have replaced the entire fuel system in a month,

I guess the bill from driving with the throttle stuck full open for 150k miles is due.

It's been a while since I checked in lol. Started my major detail this past weekend. Still not done . Wish I had a garage but Im making it work lol. Roof is looking fantastic after just a pass with the cutting compound. I'll do a polish aswell . And finish is with Sonax ceramic coating. Full car pic is pre detail.

It's like glass!! I need to at least wax mine before the rainy season really starts.

Today I copied @Phur and did a full Liqui Moly oil/engine treatment. Ran their Pro-Line Engine Flush beforehand, did a quick change with Leichtlauf, then topped it off with a bottle of Cera Tec. I'm gonna let things settle in for a bit before I really judge because I swear, the engine feels smoother already. I'm 73% sure it's all in my head, but increased fuel efficiency won't lie... I'll see if there's any effect at the pump soon.

I seem to be getting a touch better gas mileage. On the trip to get my diploma I averaged 32.4 mpg. I was going 81 mph for most of the trip.

Good on ya, Achilles! I started my car show prep a bit today. I mostly focused on lady phur’s Jetta though. I cleaned and conditioned all of the leather on both cars. Hers also got a thorough wash with a detail brush on all seams, emblems, etc… iron remover, clay bar, and OptiSeal.

Nice. That’s what I did to mine first thing after I bought it. I use ceretec at the recommended intervals and MoS2 at the oil changes in between.

Definitely post follow up , I have been thinking about switching from the oem Castrol . I think carbon is starting to build up in my engine , sounds a bit louder and mpg gas gone down by 2-3 miles . I'll get carbon cleaning done in 10k

Thanks ,yeah I'm really happy the way it's turning out . Hopefully I can get it done this weekend , if the weather cooperates. Right now car is under the cover I'll do another wash before I proceed with detail .

I'll definitely need to do my interior aswell, opti seal seems pretty good. I'll need to see if they have a maintenance spray that I can add on top of the ceramic coating I do . Sonax has some but apparently it leaves streaks and feels tacky .

Finally, I'm done replacing the water pump.

I ordered some P&S Beadmaker the other day. The detailing community raves about the stuff. That will be topping everything off Friday for my EuroDistrict car show prep. I’ll let you know what I think.

Thank you sir! I don't think the sale ad will be very big or interesting. Most of the mods will just be going with the car. I've got a lot of stock parts in my garage (and in my work office oy) which include pretty random things like an OEM air filter, an RCD310, a driver side fog light, OEM lug bolts (and that's just in my work office). Might just offer some of this stuff up for free since I just kind of want them gone at this point.

I admit I could've worded what you quoted better.
