What did you do to your MK6 today?

I finally installed a CAI! CTS Turbo's tax return sale was just too enticing to pass up...

The added noises of an intake are worth the price IMO

Agreed! I'm digging it so far.

Oooooh what's the OBD11 coding for the hatch lights? I've got a pop kit sitting in the basement, was thinking about putting it on this weekend.

I didn't need to code anything apparently MK6 already has the right coding installed. Just hold the hatch button down after the new shocks are installed and the magic happens on it's own !!

Installed A Deatschwerks DW300C in a Carter housing today for the MK6.

I found out MOTUL makes GROUP 5 (GROUP V) based motor oil. Not sure about LIQUI MOLY.

Time to leave LIQUI MOLY behind once I hit 200k KM, I'm at 193k KM now.... sad times..... feels like it was just yesterday I got the car at 90k KM in 2016.... time FLIES.

Why are you leaving liqui moly brah. Its that gooood stuff.
I'm past 260k km and still on liqui moly. (green bottle)

When downpipe?

When downpipe?

Clutch first! Or, at least at the same time, haha. I don't get in a hurry when it comes to my car, it makes me happy every time I drive it as is!

But does it make you scream really loud when you floor it and drive like a tool?
I do. If someone had a hidden camera in there they'd think I'm a schizo the way I act.
Definitely no hurry, but once you go for more power, you'll wish you did it sooner.

I always ask how the old engine oil looks every time I get oil change done at the shop (no, I don't DIY it... I should) and the shop guys always tell me the engine oil looks good/clean, so I'll stick with Liqui-moly, maybe use REDLINE or MOTUL when I take my car for track days.

I've had water in my 3rd brake light for months now without issues. I started showing a light out warning last week after the carwash so today I replaced it. I hope the new one doesn't fill up with water again.

I put in a dogbone mount insert last night, what a difference! Instantly smoother shifting and driving, and super minimal NVH. I went for the CTS Turbo insert, which is still pretty soft. I wish I had done it years ago.

this one?

what about the torque arm?

It's better to upgrade both the insert and the torque arm

I'm still running stock (both insert and arm), ko4, no issues but everyone says it's worth the upgrade for smooth shifts.
