What did you and your MKV do today?

Thanks again @pudding and yes I also considered window frame sealant but it had a higher shure rating and the blurb didn't mention resistance to vibration, which after the previous ones I now considered as an important factor in my choice.
They don't feel as solid as the red ones, but so much better than before and without the harshness. As I said, if I was tracking it or it was a weekend toy to be thrashed the red ones would be my choice every time, but being over 50 and when sitting in traffic or low speed driving it was just too annoying and I'm sure if I was in my twenties or thirties I wouldn't have minded.

I hated it in my 20s as much as I do now at 49 :grin: I've always been picky about NVH so I find experiments like this interesting :happy2:
What really annoys me is my MK6 diesel has 12 year old standard engine mounts, even the voided subframe bushes......and yet, that shifts perfectly and zero vibration. I just find it bizarre that two cars essentially the same (my GTI even has a MK6 gearbox in it) can have such very different gear shift quality. Maybe the TFSI engine is heavier and jumps around a lot more, not sure!

After replacing the VW badge from a Fox steering wheel to mine as they are the same, I also got a gloss black ring to cover the scratches on the airbag. Works for me :smiley:
Before
After......blends in with the gloss black trims I have

So, is it possible to replace the VW bage of the airbag without removing the whole airbag?
