What have you done to your Mk6 today then?

[hef]

I swore at it today.

Clutch started slipping

Any advice on uprated ones for fast road use to comfortably deal with 380ft-lb of torque+? Can only see Helix and Sachs options, Sachs seems around 400ftlb, no mention of helix's capabilities on awesome gti's site, and it mentions Sachs or LUK flywheels...how do I find out what I've got without splitting the bell housing from the block?

Anybody found an OEM replacement off another model which shares the same clutch/flywheel as the 2.0tfsi? I found with my vauxhall z20let, that the c20let standard clutch is the Courtenay Sport 'fast road' one so saved a fair bit of money...I wonder if there's a similar 'trick' for the VAG scene?

Boot struts replaced under warranty so I now have a boot that opens and lifts itself again.

Howd you do that mate?

It was done by the stealers. As the fluid had leaked out.

Ah right. Do you know what struts they used to get it to open by itself? I've tried several different kinds and different poppers and ball pins but none really worked properly, or the bootlid didn't close flush with the back of the car

Ive heard that Skoda Octavia ones fit and lift it, but not seen anyone that has done it yet.

Ripped the bottom part of the steering column trim off to investigate a really annoying creak and cant get it back on

Fallen out with it, 35 in a 30 speeding ticket  just what I needed 2 weeks before I go away.

Oops   

Thought I might be getting one a few weeks back but the ominous envelope never arrived

wonder how much added bhp the GTI stripes have and if you lose any when you remove the top one

You were awake at 0:23 wondering how much bhp a side stripe adds and how much you'd lose if you removed the top stripe?

Wow

Got me new tyre on last night! £40 off eBay for a nice conti sport contact 5 to match my OEM ones still with 6mm tread! Got my mate to fit it on for free and wheels rotated for the winter

Full service, cambelt, water pump and brake fluid change. That'll mean it's staying with me for a while longer then.
