Finally have her!

[ifti]

Cheers everyone
Will get some more pics, including those of the parrot install the next time I take it out the garage.
Still driving my old car at the mo - just had it washed etc so listing it up for sale very soon - need the cash!!

Hey pitch - how much was the rear sensor install in total?

[pitch3110]

£239.00 supplied & fitted Ifti.
I also had them add cruise which was £160.00, which I have on the A4 & missed whenever I jumped in the ED30.

Other than those bits I have added Ed30 badge to front grill, SS footrest & seat inserts, oh my build plaque to centre console.

A bluefin is niggling me but just need to figure how to get it on to her car without her noticing. Having said that the standard poke is more than sufficient.

You will have a lot of fun mate, trust me.

Im leaving it standard for now, its more then enough for me and I dont want to do anything that may affect warranty etc, since its under warrenty until August 2011.

May have the sensors fit actually, then keep saving for the RNS510, or a similar unit....

Need to get my plaque as well - would probably put it where you have yours TBH.
Which details do I need to have handy for when I ring VW?
I believe I need to ring 08000833914??


I then need to keep away from this forum for a while - otherwise you guys are gonna make me wanna keep spending on it when I need to save a bit of money back first!! lol

[AlanD]

Looks fantastic ! Your going to love it

[ifti]

Only concerns I have are with servicing costs - especially at year 4, but hey ho, guess that comes with owning a great car

[Hurdy]

Wooohoooooo!!

About time too I should say

Now then, about the remap, coilovers, brake upgrades etc that you'll no doubt be having very soon





Hahaa, only kidding.

Enjoy it Ifti, the ED30 is a great car

TBH there is more than enough poke on stream to play with for starters.
Pot luck I think mate on the plaque front, mine came 7 days after my second phone call.

Again though Ifti, really pleased to hear you are sorted.

Well guys, you'll be pleased to know that I may stop bugging you as much with my pre-GTI questions.

About bl00dy time too! 
 
Just kidding... I remember when I got my first Mk5 GTI in 2006 - it was my first new car and I couldn't stop looking at it - even through the curtains  :embarassed:    

Now for the 4 year service... I have some tips that might save you money and improve the drive.

1.  If you get a Quaife LSD fitted, then you'll automatically have a DSG service done as its part of the install process.
2.  If you get uprated brakes, then you should get a free brake fluid service done inclusive.
3.  If you get a APR High Pressure Fuel Pump done, then ask for the fuel filter to be done for free at the same time.
4.  Save fuel by getting a remap from Revo - my car did 35mpg when I drove back from Portsmouth to Birmingham after Stage 1 and 36mpg after Stage 2!  The trick is that you can go easy on the throttle and stay in a higher gear 

I'm sure the Mk5 Moderator Hurdy would also agree with the above 

Oh, there are a few more 'bits and bobs' that you might as well do if you go for the above... but I'll let Hurdy elaborate 

Finally, appearing at VW shows like GTI International is now mandatory.

You can see through your curtains? Wish I could see through my neighbours she is fiiiine!

Anyway back on topic, enjoy the car mate...its as if im waiting to get a new car and drive it all over again!!

6 Weeks today and I can drive again 

On the plaque side of things surely you will be in the same batch as me, not sure when this 'batch' is going out.
