Matt's Steel Grey 5door GTI
FrameSet:
Another update:
Took a trip to Wales for a few days. Some lovely roads and brilliant scenery. But as I'm sure you're already imagining... It was raining.. A lot! The car ran brilliantly, 35+ mpg's on the motorway there and back.
It needed a wash once I got home!
On returning home I found a new roof aerial seal from the postie so got that on today. However it's not gone down properly, may have to use some sort of sealant :scared: (anyone replaced one of these before?)
Also got a set of heko wind deflectors. I've had these on my 2 previous golfs and I'm still not sure if i really like them! Somehow I managed to break the end off one of the rear deflectors :ashamed: So two more are on order.
On another note, I bought some iron-X and tried it out cleaning my alloys from the TDI. And wow, this stuff is good.
If anyone is after a set of these they are for sale!
Thanks for looking,
Matt.

Where did the sat nav antenna end up as I'm doing mine this week?

Iron-X is awesome stuff!

Changed the coolant temp sensor this morning. Car hasn't been getting up to temperature (90 degrees) unless driving hard or stationary.
New sensor in and no change! If anything, seemed to stay even colder than before!
Any ideas? New thermostat?
Here's the old sensor:
Also going to change the oil soon, seems most go for castrol edge or quantum so I'll see what I can find!

A) get up to 90 degrees after a long time?
B) stay at 90 degrees once it does reach 90 (if it does at all)
C) not reach 90 degrees at all and floats around between 50 - 70
Do you have an OBD reader or access to VCDS?

A bit of a mixture. It will reach 90 but only if left to idle (i.e. sat at traffic lights or parked)
but say driving at 60 in 6th on an A road it will sit somewhere between 50-70 as you said. Then if i am to get home and leave it running it will get back to 90 again.
Unfortunately I don't have access to VCDS but might take it into VW Auiditech as they are close to me.
