What did you and your MKV do today?

Swapped out my DSG paddles for SEAT ones. No idea why but couldn’t get them to work as they should have been plug and play. I didn’t give up and in the end I physically swapped out the paddles and mounted on the original VW switch and controller following the guide I found on this forum to install the OSIR DSG paddles (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=7170.0)
Haven’t checked whether it lights up the + and - like the original ones but at least these work.
If anyone wants to do same part numbers for the SEAT paddles are
6J0951527A
6J0951528A
I bought these 2nd hand as the paddles themselves (without the steering wheel) but were advertised as SEAT Ibiza 6J paddles

The AC stopped working...had a local mobile guy out to test the system. There was a big leak at the pressure switch, which although a cheap part (£40) was a bit of a bugger to get to labour-wise and he had to go and get the part and then fit it and regas the system...anyway, £300 later, it's ice-cold again :happy2:.

I’ve done the same thing. Physically swapping the paddles by removing the hinge pins is a bit fiddly but it means that you know your micro switches will still work. The + and - symbols do light up 👍 I managed to buy a complete wheel with the paddles, took them off, then sold the wheel on for more than I got it for originally. An eBay win 👍

MoT and service today. Second year in a row with a pass first time + no advisories. Thats the first time I’ve had 2 on the bounce in nearly 20 years of multiple car ownership. Are testers getting less stringent (different garages used)?

Pre-cat delete carried out by my local garage - what a difference!! :driver:
Interestingly the exhaust doesn’t sound much louder, which I thought it might.
