Not a lot to update. Bought some sill protectors as they were getting scored with kids going in and out.

Going to get It booked in with VW in the new year as there’s a few minor issues hopefully can be sorted under warranty.

Shot of it as it looks most days during winter, unwashed but still love it. Doing its family duties with a trip to Mount Stewart.

Lovely motor, the MK7s do look great. I see you’re in County Down as well I’m probably not too far from you.

I said to the salesman in TJ Hamilton see you in a few years for a 7.5!
It just does everything so well, really don’t think we will ever need a bigger car than this.

Maybe an R next time though!

I think I’m on the other side of the lough from you! Often pass through going to Newcastle in the summer!

I love my mk7.5 and it’s great for the miles I do. I would like an R but it would need to be a PP lol

silica bag hard to take out? might do it on mine
Nope. Open the lid off your coolant, and the bag will be to the right in way of the exit pipe.

I forced the bag up with my fingers to loosen it then grabbed it with a pair of pliers.

Just eBay specials @Chris Mac. Really decent quality for about £16 from memory.
Need to get one for the rear bumper though, going to get a friend to apply a bit of clear vinyl if I ever get the car off my wife!

Golf has been serving us well. Took us, 2 friends and our luggage comfortably for a weekend away in Bushmills.

Have this Golf for a few days while some issues are looked at by Agnews. Really like the mk7 stereo. Think it’s an SE NAV. Nice having a bit of comfort on the 16’’ wheels!

Hope to get the GTD back next week all being well.
