Maintenance stuff (Motul Oil, oil change kit, coolant). And some touch up paint
Nothing special, just a Covercraft sunshade. My go to first purchase for any new-to-me car.
Had one in my fiesta st, g35, and now gti. They’re awesome and recommend them to all of my friends.It's a good one.
Stock is 15Nm + 90 degrees, Eurosport is 22 Ftlbs period from their instructions.I remember reading here about the difference in the torque specs for the Eurosport front chassis brace compared to the VW specs for the strut tower bolts. Does anyone know why the difference?

Ah, I believe the consensus in the other thread was the Eurosport are not stretch bolts, and stock are. Could be wrong. I just torqued to 22ftlbs when I installed and checked on it a little later to make sure nothing was loose.That doesn't help since I already knew the WHAT. I was asking about the WHY. I found the thread I was looking for, just finished reading it.

Great investment to help keep that new car interior looking fresh!Nothing special, just a Covercraft sunshade. My go to first purchase for any new-to-me car.

Living in FL I’m genuinely surprised at how few people use sun shades.
Yeah, between using a Covercraft or similar and ceramic window tint, it's amazing how much cooler a car can stay when parked outside.I'm also in FL. After owning a mk4 for 6 years and then a mk6 for 6 years and after watching both of those interiors degrade due to sun damage, the covercraft sunscreen was one of the first things I got. There's been a few days I've forgot to put it up and there's an obvious difference in how hot the car gets. It definitely helps.
