Not yet. I hope to work on it later in the week. I have to rewire under hood. idk but 1-2 days work? Happy there is no paint damage and I think a quality farmer level repair will be all I do. I may do a new harness in winter but that is a serious time commitment.

Gotcha. I’ve never used it on any car, so I know nothing about it.

Proper installation of a quality PPF will not yellow.

Hello all. Newest newbie here. I have been active in Passatworld B5 forum for about 15 years, and it has saved me a ton of money, time, and grief with that car. My wife and I are diehard wagon fans, so our current stable includes our beloved silver 2001 Passat wagon, 20-valve1.8T, B5 platform shared with the Audi A4/A6 (longitudinal engine orientation), and our red 2016 Golf Sportwagen, third-generation 16-valve 1.8T.

We had two Passat wagons when the kids were young. Great cars. I still have the Bentley manual hanging around. Welcome to the forum.

Our elder son and daughter-in-law have two sons, age 6 and almost 4, so the Golf has a Recaro baby seat for grandparent duty. Our son drives a 2002 B6 A4, and his wife drives a 2018 Tiguan, which shares a lot of engine and chassis hardware with our Golf. Here's the little guy getting a driving lesson on my son's "millennial anti-theft device."

Hi John and welcome.

I’m new too, but I’ve already learned a ton.

Great forum and a very welcoming group of folks.

So, my daughter sent this to me...pretty accurate.

the chips add a certain realism to the vroom noises you know he's making.

Congrats. Red was actually my first choice, but I got such a good deal on a black one because it had been sitting on the lot for awhile. Also my past 2 GTI were all black and I’m even picking up another black MK3 from my wife’s cousin here soon.

Not gonna lie...sometimes I just sit on my porch and admire her.

Nice neighborhood.

 

[hotbascosauce]

I like to park mine right outside my home office window so I can stare at it when I’m on the phone.

 

[Rojito]

Nice neighborhood.

Thanks! Nice and quiet.

Nice.

To be honest, my absolute first choice would’ve been cornflower blue, but the tornado red is definitely growing on me.

Tornado red is a fantastic color. Probably my favorite next to Reflex Silver.
