Thanks for the eBay link, Watts. What size is typically needed to do all doors on a 5-door?

In the post I linked above it was said that 30ml should do for 3 uses. Not sure what that equates to in grammes as in the ebay ad. Perhaps 10g would do? The bottle I have is tiny and has been used a few times but is still going. Not sure what quantity/weight it was, I'll have a look later.

Thanks, I’ve taken a gamble on a 20g bottle in the hope it’ll cover two cars… time will tell.

Mine is 10g. It's covered my current car (although sunroof yet to be done) and it did my previous car (3 door) and I lent it to someone to do their car too. There's a little left too say I'd say you should be fine!

Took my first drive after replacing an ignition coil to resolve my "hopping" issue I posted about a few months back (doesn't time fly?)

OBDEleven helped to debug as a misfire, as did googling on a whim "mk7 gti drives like it has hiccups" :laugh: Turns out "hiccups" is a common term

Nothing too exciting my new mats arrived along with my last clubsport centre cap.

Fitted some DSG paddles to replace the tiny oem ones, much better.

Look great mate! I prefer seeing them on your car than hiding in my drawer collecting dust!

willni,i have the same mats in mine-well,sort of.
They look great,but are susceptible to heel imprints after very little use,making them look like you’ve had them for years.
So much so,I purchased some genuine rubber mats and swapped the drivers mat for the rubber one,as it was doing my head in,the rubber mat being more robust for daily driving.
Mats are often reinforced or double layered on the heel area-you see this on cheaper ones,you’d think for the price these gti mats are,vw could have done better.
Or it could just be my size 11 feet that’s the issue!
