What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

Krytox is very good I have about 20 bottles  ,  if you can't get it then gummi pfledge is quite good.

I don't like Gummi Pfledge at all.  It seems ok, that is until it rains and runs all down the paintwork, and is a bugger to get off.

In fact I've got 2 full bottles (bought it on a multibuy once) which I will gladly give away to a good home if anyone wants them.

Are you still using the original can?  Blimey that's been good value

Stop being so nosey! But I'll tell 'cause I like you!
I bought a new jumbo spray can last year!

That'll last you another 50 years if you are lucky or it will just outlast you    I jest of course 

I will happily take the gummi off you

I would also be careful with WD40, i once put some on my plastic/ rubber boot bump stops on my lats R and it attacked the plastic part and the fell to bits !!!

Today I removed the wheels so that I could give them a good clean
Firstly the nuts were really tight, but thankfully I have a torque wrench.
Secondly these wheels are really heavy to lift off.
I should mention I'm 72 although fairly fit for my advancing years.
Also I found accessing the jack( I do not have a trolley jack) and the separate handle tricky.
Anyway after thoroughly cleaning the wheels I used Auto Finesse mint Rims Wheel Wax and lastly treated the tyres with Meguiars Tyre Gel.
It took me about 4 hours but I am pleased with the result

enjoyed a bit of sport with a 7GTI tonight, night blue 3 door with wind deflectors, it was a bit one sided

Re-fitted a door seal on the driver's side which was badly fitted. VW quality control is pretty poor IMO.

Checked panel gaps, fit and finish and adjusted the Dynaudio.

Asker what was up with your seal and are they easy to re fit?

My drivers door sometimes lets some wind in. A very small amount but annoying quite the same. I just presumed it would need new seals? I take it they can be incorrectly fitted?

It was the seal along the rear panel which is alongside the trailing edge of the front door. The bottom bit was sticking out when the door was shut and I had to remove the bottom bit and re-fit it into a plastic holder which is right at the bottom. I think the holder is damaged and needs replacing. Difficult to explain.

I don't think this would cause a major wind issue. I think the way the front doors are hung is the main problem.

Ah right cheers.

They knew it was a lease when they built it!

I'm sure that could never happen on a mass produced Audi, built to the same procedures with nigh-on the same parts bin, no way at all.
