you recently changed the cabin filter too didnt you?

our altea suffered from this but after fitting a charcoal filter it went away.





i washed mine yesterday too - its been living on the drive all week and actually been getting used :shocked: so was due a clean.

found a golf ball next to my car too so think some little sh!t has been up to no good - a small mark on the front wing polished out no problem though :wink:

Noticed that a dog had p1ssed on two of the wheels.

It's due a clean this weekend as it's been living outside for the last month as my garage has been full of the Mk2. I can't see me getting round to driving that, so will probably take it back to my parents house meaning I can start pampering the 6 again.

seriously considered giving it a good clean... did not materialize in the end as it's been 30 degrees down here for a couple of days now so lost my appetite in the end :whistle:

It's done this from day one. I just have to clean the screen regular as its like looking through fog when the sun hits it.

I should have washed mine mine but was lazy and went to do some sorting of my workshop instead. Mine got stone rashed on Tuesday and I have noticed a few chips on the bonnet off it.

Spent ages scrubbing the brake calipers as I noticed they were a bit dirty the other day when I had a puncture repaired.


What do you guys use to clean the honeycomb bits on the front. Can't get mine 100% clean using a small brush.

Small soft child's toothbrush works ok.  Have used small detailing brushes which were next to useless, but life's too short to worry about getting it 100% clean  :laugh:
