What did you do to your MK6 today?

[Alpinee30]

Dou you guys use lock-tight on your nuts and bolts? If so which color? Many of the DIYs use a lot of copper lube. Do you use this on things like axle splines, brake rotors to hub interface ect?

I can't think of anyplace other than the Slave cylinder TOB or flywheel that you actually use lock Tite.
I'd use grease on axle spines. I wouldn't put anything on brake rotor to hub.

I use copper anti seize on anything that gets hot exhaust side.
I do use high heat thread locker on my Studs and ceramic guide pin grease for the aluminum lug nuts.

Thank you all for your advice. Today I used this (

) video to change tranny filter and fluid. Bottom fill of course. Rotated the tires as well while up on the stands

Finally installed the Osram HID headlights. I love the updated look of them!

Looks really nice.

Myself I can't decide between Osram or the R20 Black edition and doing all the retrofit work. The more I see Osram the more I like them.

I installed a Low Pro DV+ Verry Nice compared to the std unit Hoping it stops leaking I hate that noise. Tried D, C, and J no luck.... C had the shortest life.

My very first burned out bulb (low beam left) so replaced with Hella H7LL long life bulb for both sides. Easy to do but best with small hands.

the key is to see with your hands... fingers... been there, done that... driver side is harder

P2568 code popped my CEL on

long term fuel trim was 14%, which is pretty high...

cleaned my air filter, MAF sensor, and put in some DIJectron.

don't think the jectron can take effect so fast....so it must be the filter and/or sensor as its down to 4% now. short term is 0%.

not bad for a 13 year old car!

Did you get a new maf sensor? If not, how'd you clean the old one?
I have a similar dumb issue with my LTFT

you can buy MAF cleaner. there are 2 small screws that hold the sensor in. take them out, pull the sensor out, spray liberally, wait for it to dry, and put it back in. that's it. no more than 5 minutes. not a bad idea to do it every oil change.
