@Colin170CR, as @Kenny R said, in case you missed it, if you pop your SD card and start the update, it will pick up where it left off if you interrupt power. I usually put mine in at the start of a journey and start the process. Then I just let it do its thing and forget about it! My internet download speed is about half of yours and it can take around 6 hours to download. I use the download links kindly provided by @MartiniB 👍

I think you're right @MarkyG82. I think it might be around 80k for the 7 speed. I am not 100% sure though.

I'm the same with the wheels and tyres. I put my winter 17s on with winter tyres and I always chuckle at how different it looks.

@Thorell Ditto what @mandp said. That is a lovely colour. And those tyres look excellent!

Sorry to hear that Martin. I remember this being a common fault on the mark 7 Golf on the same MQB platform. It's a warranty fix I'm sure, or, there's hopefully some video fixes on YouTube 👍

I believe it becomes more aggressive in its behaviour. That is, later braking when approaching another vehicle, and, harder acceleration once you're clear of traffic. Basically it drives like an Audi driver 😂

I used a small ratchet with a bit holder and the torx bit. I'm a bit fuzzy on remembering the top one...have you removed the bonnet release mechanism? A clip slides out and you can lift it off for access. Let me know, and if you've done that already, I'll go out and have a check to refresh my memory.

I don't want to disagree with anyone, but attached is the access available with the grille off. I went nowhere near the ACC unit. Granted I wasn't going near the air intake either though so I'm not sure if things would be different in that respect. On refit, I didn't use all the grille screws. I don't think I put the bottom ones in. They kind of went overboard with their fasteners and clips usage!

I'm not sure if this would be worth a shot? It might be too subtle a change though. At least you'd know they were open and then see if it makes any difference at all. I might try it for interests sake to see how it goes 😁

Ah nice. That's a well equipped model. The sensors are very useful, they became standard on the SEL in MY19 so I forgot to mention them before. I'd hope that sensors would be a popular selection on any used cars. Good luck with your search!

My opinion is it depends on you! Some options are must haves for some and not for others. What are you currently driving? The spec of that might help you decide what your ideal spec might be 😁 For me, personally, I love the reverse camera and the canton speakers. Though I am in an SEL Exec model (Style if you're in Europe etc)

Excellent work @JR RS! I can see your point for removing the bumper, but the grille can come off from the bumper to give you access too. I changed my grille surround by doing it. It's not the easiest job, but I wasn't too keen on a bumper removal on my own 😂 Thank you for another great write up. I love how much work you do 💪

Do you know if the new battery was coded correctly to your car? So the car knows you have a new battery installed.

I agree with this. I carried this small modification out and it's much much smoother now. Thanks @Bap33

There was a similar thread on the Golf GTI site I used to be on and I found it really interesting to see what other's had been up to. My car is due to be built this week (34) so I am counting down the days until I finally get it! So what have you lot been up to?
