So then naturally, i just had to find some time to put all the things, and see how it went. First stress of the process was to see of the mounts would actually fit, since, they were not listed for my car. However everyone reassured me after a lot of photos going back and forth that they would actually fit.

Driver's - Gearbox side

Airbox removed

DSC_0467 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0470 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Mount removed

Side by side

DSC_0471 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

What a weird shaped mount. Seems like they will be ok though

DSC_0472 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0473 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Test fitted and went in first time

DSC_0480 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Marked my bolts, cause you know me.

Installed the airbox back in- needs a good clean, LoL

DSC_0495 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Now, for the passenger's - engine side

DSC_0481 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

This is the actual mount

DSC_0482 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

This was very tired. Side by side with the VT one

DSC_0483 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0486 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Installed in place

DSC_0487 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0490 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0497 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Finally the lower mount - no problems here

Out with the old oem mount with the Powerflex insert

Untitled by mgpdoc, on Flickr

In with the complete replacement of the VT one

DSC_0492 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0494 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

I was very anxious as to how it would behave, given this is a diesel engine, and vibrations are there. Even in a petrol car, when you go to stiffer mounts, you can feel it in the cabin. However, no drama. Yes, when the car is cold, and the ac on sometimes it can get a little harsh, but nothing major, and only at idle. Feels very very nice, and no going back whatsoever . . . .

Cheers

The vibra technics mounts are amazing, in my opinion they are the best mounts so far. I have them installed in my Rocco with aggressive power and no way to back to any other tested mounts I tried before.
Good choice mat

Good choice mat

Indeed they are. First time i am using them.
On my Audi A4 i am using Stern Race mounts, and on the Golf mkv, VF Engineering mounts.

I like the VT as well.
Pretty happy

[mgpdoc]

Then it was a matter of installing all of the new bushed and things to complete the puzzle

Old rear control arm bushings

DSC_0504 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Inner Arches were tired

DSC_0505 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0506 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0517 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Disassembling

DSC_0507 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Front suspension removed for the top mount bushings and bearings

DSC_0510 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0509 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

OEM vs Powerflex Black Bushings

DSC_0511 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Steering rack ball joints, that love my wide wheels+Spacers+Ride Height combo a lot, i am sure

DSC_0516 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Control arms removed

DSC_0519 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

New arches bought from the dealership, ready to be installed



In place

DSC_0520 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

I need to clean my suspension, makes me sad to see it like that

Putting shinny things back on

DSC_0524 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0514 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0527 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Old bushings removed, new ones, Powerflex black bushings front and rear, in place

DSC_0529 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0530 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

These are not only firm, but also, stealthy, noone knows they are there, except for you. Ok maybe the passenger as well.

DSC_0535 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Until i show you some final photos after the alignment and fitment of the new suspension components, here's a small, but not cheap side projects i have been working on.

DSC_0501 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Any ideas ?

I bought this expensive bad boy. It is suitable for M5, M6, M8 and M10 rivnuts. I always wanted this, and instead of going to body shops, have one just for me. This gives you the ability to go oem fitment on all custom mounted parts, so it's just what i wanted.

Also acquired some cobalt drill bits all the way to 13mm. Cant go wrong with quality tools i guess.

DSC_0550 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0553 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0555 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0557 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0559 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

First job i tried it on, was the rear fire extinguisher mount.

DSC_0538 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

It was installed with self-tapping screws, which due to vibrations, at some point, fail.

DSC_0549 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Drilled the holes to 8mm

DSC_0560 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

M8 Rivnut with some red loctite

DSC_0561 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0567 by mgpdoc, on Flickr


Ah, better

DSC_0579 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

[mgpdoc]

Now, for the fitment photos, after the suspension has settled. Car feels amazing, mush stiffer but in a good way, not here and there, more like in one place. Sharper, and precise

Untitled by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Without doing anything to the front ride height from the suspension settings, look how much higher it sat from the changes of components....

After 3,5 year of owning the car from new, and 55k kms, my floormates were looking tired. Not bad for a daily.
I didnt like the options my dealership had to offer, so i searched online for something custom, and subtle. So, onto the pics as always.

DSC_0590 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0592 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0594 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Out with the old ones

DSC_0601 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Transferred my custom billet securing clips onto them

DSC_0595 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0596 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

That uneven stitching gets my OCd a bit, but oh well . . .

DSC_0597 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Installed them on the car

DSC_0604 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Looked perfect

DSC_0618 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0630 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0620 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

And the rear ones

Yes, it is, and many more things have been happening. Let me bring you up to date on this one .

Cheers and thank you

[mgpdoc]

Took the car on yet another roadtrip to central Greece

Nov-1 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Then I did a mod i saw on Youtube from Obsessed garage. He gave me the idea, how to eliminate this thing that happens at gas stations

Nov-1 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

So this is before

Nov-1 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Remove the whole assembly

Nov-1 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Remove this, which looks like a . . . . . you know

Nov-1 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

This is all we are gonna need

Nov-1 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Ah much better

Nov-1 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Nov-1 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Now if it falls, it falls down. Not on my fender.

Now, I am sure some guy at a petrol station will open it, and leave it on the top of the car, that is why, i am always there, you know just in case.

Been looking for a short shifter for this car for quite a long time, however never pointed me in the right direction. Either nobody knew, or nobody cared I guess. However searching over at briskoda forum, i was almost sure i found one, and after talking with the company , they assured me it would fit, so i gave it a go. Even if it didnt the price was worth it for a shot.

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Lovely piece of product

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Oem one

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

New one in place

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Feels SO much better, the travel of the shifter, and the feedback from it. Amazing value for money mod in my opinion.

It would be rude not to give it a good wash

Here they are

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

And their specific connectors

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Unboxing the EGT

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

And the water temp

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Threw them on to see how they would look

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Really came together

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Then I found an old adapter housing i had for the water hoses, that i had used in the golf.

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Bought all new clamps, and oem hoses to see if it would fit without removing the ones from the car

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

It worked great, but the blue theme, just didnt work for me anymore.

So, I could paint it black, or silver, or i could do something even harder. Make a copy out of scratch aluminum.

This piece, will become our final product

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

There we go

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Test fitted the sensor

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

All great

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Now all i have to do is install them , both the exhaust temp and water temp and we will be good to go

And last but not least, another project . . . .


Remember my TTs steering wheel ? Removed it

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

This came to the rescue

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Also, used my Golf a bit more

Nov-2 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Dont worry, i didnt go back to this steering wheel for no reason. I sent mine off to UK, to get some Alcantara, and Carbon fiber treatment. Super excited. Cant wait to show you guys results :)

Cheers

Mike, mgpdoc over at instagram for faster updates.

[mgpdoc]

Spent some time at the exhaust shop, removing my downpipe, and welding the exhaust temp sensor adapter, from Defi.

DSC_0767 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Out of focus pics for the win

DSC_0775 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Then i cut the radiator hose, drained the fluids, and inserted the adapter for the water temp sensor. Went for simple clamps, because they fitter better in situ compared to the heavu duty ones. Filled with G13 again, and Happy to report, no leaks.

DSC_0766 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Then it was matter of connecting the sensors with the Defi main unit under the steering wheel. The route through the firewall was known from the installation of the previous gauges, so again, removal of tray stuff

DSC_0779 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0797 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

My main goal was for the wiring to be visible, but oem+ fitment.

I think it came out great

DSC_0788 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0790 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0802 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

And there they are, the water temp and exhaust gas temp readings on my 1.6 tdi, making 160hp at the dyno.

Excuse the iphone pics, but i was excited.

Another thing that was on my list, was to upgrade all of the interior switche to the Q3 / A1 facelift model. I had been postponing this mode due to the fact that i would have to not only purchase them all from the dealership to begin with, but also, to change their colour afterwards to match the white new interior lighting theme. I didnt want to go for cheap ebay china replicas.

However, i thought that i could purchase them, and then just change the caps, and keep the electronic parts as spares. And i was right.

Photos are always better than talking so. . . .

Parts were bought

Some G13 to replace the one i spent for the water sensor.

DSC_0808 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0803 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0810 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Interior parts were removed

DSC_0805 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Finally, installed on the car

DSC_0828 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0835 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

With white light colour

DSC_0840 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Very happy with the results. A subtle, but very nice mod.

Cheers

[drval85]

Huge improvement. Looks great!

[bullalex]

Congrats Mike! So good so far :)

[mgpdoc]

So, some more updates then.

First I tried an optic thing in the front of the car. I added a black part between the headlighs and the front grille. I tried it with some 3M black vinyl i had laying in the garage. It came out nicely, I think i might do it if i keep this bumper . . .

DSC_0844 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0845 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0848 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

50:50 shot

DSC_0849 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

I liked it. I might do it properly

DSC_0852 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Now some other orders that were incoming . . .

I ordered a phone mount from OEMMOUNTS from UK. I normally hate phone mounts in the car, i think they are ugly and destroy the oem theme. however, this mount, at least for me, changes things.

Here is what you receive

DSC_0902 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

They even supply the tool to remove the vents

DSC_0903 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0904 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0905 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Amazing guys

DSC_0907 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Mount in place, behing the vents

DSC_0951 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0957 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0959 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Dont mind the temporary steering wheel

DSC_0960 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0955 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

I like it very much

DSC_0954 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

more to come

Hello and Merry Xmas to all of you guys who are still into forum build threads. Seems like Youtube has killed forum of every kind

Found some time to do some maintenance stuff mostly.

First I had to prep the summer wheels i took off the Audi A1.

DSC_0962 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0964 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Foam Lance comes very hand in every case.

DSC_0966 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Also what helps A LOT is the wax/sealant i had used after the powdercoating. It helps a lot guys.

DSC_0968 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Then, onto air to remove all water and then reseal for winter storage

DSC_0970 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0972 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0974 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Then I spent some time on the Golf.

First i Installed the rear seats net, like i had in the A1. Came out great in my opinion, let me know what you think as always.

DSC_0757 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0758 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Then it was washing time for the Golf as well

DSC_0988 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0980 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0982 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Hello and Happy New year to all of you.

I have another update to share with you guys

So, it had been in my mind for quite some time, that since this car isnt as fast, performance-wise, as my other projects, although, percentage-wise, power increase from stock, is 60%, nevertheless i thought it could look nice under the bonnet. So I found some things available for this car.

Mostly, billet caps for places here and there.
The Oil Filler Cap Coolant Cap, Washer Fluid Cap, and the Top Mount Caps.

Firstly, these three arrived which were supposed to be a direct fit for my car. DSC_0853 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Their quality is amazing

DSC_0855 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0856 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0858 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

However........there is an issue when it comes to fitting them. It wasnt specified that these were designed to fit on top of older style caps. Oem ones, but from older cars, Golf mk3/4 era, and TT era. So, their bottom sides looked like this

DSC_0859 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0860 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

And they supplied headless worm-style screws to tighthen them - which were not much needed as they had a tight fit if you had the right caps.

The washer fluid cap, needed no oem cap, it was a direct snug fit, so that went on easily first

DSC_0861 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0874 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Also, the oil cap, went on the existing one, with the help of the small screws, and i also added some loctite there just for good measure

DSC_0880 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Just the look i was going for

DSC_0888 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Now, lastly the coolant one

Here is the style cap our cars come with

DSC_0893 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

And this is what you need to buy to make it work

DSC_0894 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

It is the same from below, and fits perfectly

DSC_0895 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Like that, flush fit

DSC_0896 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

And this is where you can add the little screws for extra strength, and i did.

DSC_0898 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0926 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Secured

DSC_0928 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Installed

DSC_0932 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0936 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Love the look

DSC_0940 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

General Overview

DSC_0943 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0944 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

hmmm wonder if we can do something about these as well

DSC_0947 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Well we can, we surely can

Boom

DSC_1015 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_1026 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

These were also available in black aluminum, but where they are located under the plastic undertray they would be lost so i went for silver for a subtle contrast

DSC_1022 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Quality once again, amazing

DSC_1016 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

[mgpdoc]

Despite the heavy rain, on NYE, i went out and went for it, hehe

DSC_1031 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Marking the wipers location prior to removing them to then remove the plastic undertray

DSC_1030 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Remove the OEM plastic cover and you are left with this

DSC_0007 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Caps side by side

DSC_1035 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_1037 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Added some blue Loctite prior to installing to prevent diesel vibration from removing the cap- trust me it vibrates.

DSC_1038 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

And then it was a matter of installing them on

Passenger side

DSC_0017 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Driver side

DSC_0004 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

And this is how it looks with the plastic cover back on.

DSC_0019 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

It is there, but very subtle

DSC_0020 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Cheers guys

DSC_1014 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Happy New Year

Hello how are you doing.

Have some things to show you.

Remember the floormats i had purchased from a seller over at ebay ?
Yes they looked awesome. But in three months time they looked more tired than oem ones did in a 3+ year period time.

Look at them.

DSC_0027 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0026 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0028 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

So decided to go for new OEM ones. Couldnt find the colour combo i was after so went with these.

DSC_0022 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0023 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0023 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0025 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

And here they are installed in the car

DSC_0032 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0033 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0030 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0038 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Then I sourced something from Germany that i wanted for a long time. I bought it new, with instructions and hardware for installation.

DSC_0039 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

You know what it is ?

DSC_0040 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0041 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Now you do

DSC_0044 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Yes it is a high beam assist mirror with auto dimming.

DSC_0046 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0053 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Then, owning the car for 4 years, i decided to change a battery. Had zero issues with the factory one, none, but changed it nonetheless just to be safe. Also went for a slightly larger one, but still alowing for the spare wheel to fit inside. Given that this has the start-stop ability, it costs a lot. And i havent ever paid so much for a battery, ever, but oh well. Some photos of the installation.

DSC_0055 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0057 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0059 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0060 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0062 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0063 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

On a side note, I also picked up an Iphone XS 256, so i might take better pics even without my trusty Nikon, LoL

DSC_0067 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Always wear some protection I guess

DSC_0081 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

[mgpdoc]

Another maintenance issue, is the trunk springs, which were a bit tired after the 4 years. Not too tired, but the trunk wanted some help to go up

DSC_0084 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0085 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Had to remove the stock ones, pretty straight forwards, just remove the pins

DSC_0089 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0090 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0093 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

And then install the new ones. Job done.

Lastly, something which was not planned but happened nonetheless.

Did it ever happen to you, to search for OSIR products on ebay and come across Forge products ? Well it happened to me. This guy was selling these, hardly used, so I just had to

DSC_0095 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

They go on top of the OEM ones like this

DSC_0102 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0103 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

I first tried these on the TFSI

DSC_0105 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0108 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

But they didnt fit the theme. So i thought lets put these on the little Audi and bring the black ones on the TFSi. Like this .

Golf

DSC_0116 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0110 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0118 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0114 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

And then, the new Forge ones on the little Audi

DSC_0122 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0124 by mgpdoc, on Flickr

DSC_0125 by mgpdoc, on Flickr
