What did you do to your mk7 today?

[Acadia18]

Willing to share that STL? I don't hate this solution at all.

I printed a holder for mine that goes over the vent but I like this one a little more.

Just buy the Vektor already

Whatever. You know what I meant

And when he decides he doesn’t like it, sell it to me.

Do you have the rain sensor?

Yeah, rain sensor and all that jazz. That gets reused but apparently there's a trick with the gel. Had a couple codes pop up and they fiddled with it for a second and everything went away.

Picking it up from tint in about 10 minutes, then dropping my wife's TDI off for her 80k service. Busy and expensive car day.

You think I'm gonna tired of dumb features like this?

Never gonna happen!

Your only option for a replacement shell is to find someone who understands a married Accessport is worth nothing (since it costs 70% to relicense, which is the same cost or more you can buy a used one for), and see if they'll sell it to you for like $20. I have a replacement shell you can have for free if you want, but the clear screen plastic is cracked and the back has a couple scratches. I'll upload some pics in a bit. But, I'll send it to you for nothing if you want it.

One thing to keep in mind if it matters to you, is your serial number is attached to the shell, so if you replace the front part of the shell, the s/n won't match.

Also, that's a pretty nice mount solution, would you be willing to share the stl?

I added to the 3d printer specific thread and thought I would repost here too.

I've also been working on a coinslot cover that matches the factory radius, its very much a WIP but I'm getting close I think.

Oil change.

Then found this:

Off to order new coolant reroute hose…

Drove back from Sweden to Germany - including an overnight 14h ferry ride - in a company 15ton box truck. Speed limit for trucks is 50mph over here.

Afterwards it felt like a relief to be back behind my GTI steering wheel .

You need one of these bad boys to hold the line in place under that shield

What is that witchcraft and where can I get it?

Just rain sensor? If the triangle looking camera/ sensor too?

I tried to get my windshield replaced 3 times. All 3 times wrong one.

Was gonna do an oil change and plugs change but only got the oil change done. Coil packs are stuck like a mofo. Gonna order a fresh set before I try to rip them out (in case I damage any).

FYI: EQT has mk7 OEM coils on sale, and a few shops have the RS3 coils on sale. Basically the same thing AFAIK.

Ruths are gapped and ready to swap in.

Go drive first and get the car warm - they should slide right out

Did that. They be stuck. I pulled them 5000 miles ago but didn’t grease them when I put them back in. Gonna pull the tops and focus on removing the boots via a few different methods
