ChrisGT's Black 5 door GT TDI 170

<< < (26/35) > >>

ChrisGT:
Thanks @abz132,

I'll hopefully get some time to give the car a good clean, fit my new headlights (which I've had for ages and not got around to fitting  :doh:) and then get some pictures of it.

Car still didn't start first time this morning but fired up better than usual on the second try. My mpg also seems to have improved quite a bit on my last two drives, up by about 5 - 8 mpg on my usual trip from home to town and back.

I changed the fuel filter this morning (68k miles) as i'd not changed it since my oil in fuel contamination problem. Fuel looks like it should now so changed the filter and will see if that helps. If I continue to have this starting issue then it is possible that in tank fuel pump needs to be changed as the fuel contaminated with oil can stop them from working correctly. Will keep this updated as I do stuff though.

ChrisGT:
Changed over the headlights today to the genuine GTi ones I got from another forum member  :happy2:. They have the black inserts rather than all silver so I think they look a lot smarter.

Before:

Looking good Chris. They make a massive difference.

ChrisGT:
Thanks, yeah it's quite a subtle little change but I really prefer them.

Awesome work and by the looks of it - that car needed you as the new owner!  :drinking: :congrats:
