oh, and whats the 24k6 recall ?

ECU update. This came up last year when I had her serviced, so why they have done it again.

strange, oh and i guess it made sense for them to change all those bits whilst it was in pieces, they get a nice warranty job out of VW and you pay for the stripping LOL, they should have fitted them for free in the end   :laugh:

That's what I was thinking....

I'm pleased with what I paid to have them fitted...

A couple more pictures for you all...







Just taken the wife and kids to the theatre in the town centre... They didn't notice any changes.

But got some lookers whilst driving around town on my way to Tesco's to fill her up with 99 RON.

Haven't had chance to measure it yet, but before it was 40mm Fr/Rr between top of tyre and the wheel arch.

Only my opinion, but I reckon she'd look a lot cleaner without the mudflaps. Can someone photoshop it to see if I'm right?
