MkV GT TDI 170 DSG - Blue Graphite [Sunday Clean]
MikLSP:
So in and around the arrival of our second child, I've managed to vinyl wrap my grille insert with 3M carbon fibre vinyl to quite pleasing effect. I also wrapped the thin plastic surround on the grille badge.
Here's a couple of before and after shots, as usual I'll post some better ones later :happy2:
MikLSP:
OK, I finally managed to get some pictures of the vinyl wrap on the grille plus the front badge surround and rear badge backing. Unfortunately, the car wasn't particularly clean but time for these things is a little short since the new arrival :smiley:
I really need to do some work on my chrome now, I did use Autosol on the rear but it's still showing lots of hairline marks. Anyone know a good process to restore the badges?
MikLSP:
Oh dear, just had the dash bing at me and flash up "Engine Fault Workshop!" along with the glow plug symbol.
Luckily I was only a minute away from home so I just cruised and didn't actually notice if it was in limp mode as I took it slowly anyway.
A quick search seems to point towards some sort of sensor or wiring issue and though I have an old VAGCOM cable, it's a cheap blue one off ebay so I doubt it'll work with the MkV to find fault codes.
Thankfully the car will be going back into VW soon for some warranty repairs but this will mean a 20 mile drive to get there, I hope it will be ok to do this?
Andy:
should be ok but will be very under powered--least its still under warranty--probs the injector or wiring as it was a recall
MikLSP:
Thanks, as long as it can get there without risk of damaging anything. It has already had the injector recall done actually, I noticed that in all the paperwork.
