Thanks for the info @imart143 i keep getting distracted / volunteered to do other jobs and keep forgetting to check the engine bay,, ive just put my keys in an envelope with a reminder to check tomorrow on the way out 🤪 Thank you for the link @D402 it says it also fits mine (DFGA engine) will see about adding it to the parts list in a week or so ,,,, if im allowed time to do some of my outstanding jobs... in the mean time,,, im goin to search / post Another question for a job that probibly wont get done until Nov 🤪

Ive just been checking various sites to price up some service items, but have no idea what fuel filter i need to get,, all the sites ive checked on seem to list filters "with connection for water sensor," and also "without connection for water sensor," is it someting i can verify easily?? my car is a 2017 150bhp 2L TDI DSG L&K ( too many letters )

From what ive read the fuel filter is on the rear right side just in front of the back wheel. on your car, this was the info i found the youtube vid if for a mk5 golf but same procedure

well as you say youve just recently bought the car id suggest replacing the fuel filter too, you dont know what the cars been run on or how many times its been run close to empty, and also with any engine upgrades ,,,, check the brakes and suspension (and engine mounts) for wear and damage and change the brake fluid too

in the ottocast manual there is a http address, you open it on your phone and it connectes to your phone allowing you to update the dongle

I first bought a cheepone off amazon but had problems with sound from Waze and Google maps, changed to an Ottocast Pico, thinking the button may reconnect easily, but that isnt the case, i have to have bluetooth on to connect first, then it uses the wifi , when the nav app sound doesnt work i just remove the ottocast and reinsert it, the sound then starts ( found it is the same with the cheap unit i had too

HI @numskull when ever ive bought springs and suspension parts from autodoc ive always paid for the "safe order" option it only costs a fraction but allows you the option to return unused item within 200 days ( 6.5 months) rather than 14 days

@Lutz_91 damn … I’m always late to the party … I’d does look sweet @Binx1310 yep I’ve seen the stick on ones but would prefer to have subtle changes that could be “factory options “ so sometime I may get round to buying both types and seeing if I can cobble the L&K lens onto the regular puddle lights

Nice, do these replace the standard lights??? do you have a link for them please

it would have taken me ages to do a job like this,, as soon as id have got the rear bumper off id have been side tracked into cleaning all the hidden white-ish panels ,,, i get easily distra,,, ooh squirrel !!!!

@JayLibove looking at your eBay link, the items being posted from Shenzhen, China, so more than likely the person is just reselling it from AliExpress quick Google on their site comes up with similar items for a lot cheaper but I don’t know how the price would change for your location

I bought these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006419747360.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.26.21ef1802RN8g9I they fit in the rear of my boot near the back seat (2017 Superb Hatchback) and i got a spare set thinking about cutting a couple of holes in the tailgate trim and fitting them into the tailgate so once the tailgate is open light shines down i later realised that id need a switch, so started looking for 12v led lights with a built in switch, these look promising as cutting 2 round holes will be tidyer than trying to cut straight lines, but i dont know how bright they would be https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165754443736 i was thinking of wiring the led lights into the wiring for the numberplate lights, as the extra lights would be powered off during the day,

One “SMALL” project done ??? I’d love to know what other “small” projects you are thinking about doing And I’d love to know how to do the jobs myself too ( or if you’re thinking of selling the kits),,, love to try the massage chair too
