The preparation for the mod can already be seen. No hardware in this picture is to be changed.

Are you going to retrofit automatic transmition? I don't have another reason seeing the shift pads on the steering wheel.

New mileage, great

Seeing the image, I remembered that I have to put the OBD2 socket back in its original place for the MOT (ITV).

I'm intrigued, I like this.

Some news from the spare parts department...

Had a small accident with a hole in the road...

Do you happen to know what type of bulb is used behind the cigarette lighter socket on the red filter? As mine has never worked and would like to buy an led version if possible.

Thanks!

Believe it or not, that's the only factory bulb in there

Ha ha! Only way I can think of being able to change it to white would be if you could get the red filter 3D printed in a clear/opaque material if there is such a thing?

I'd just get the golf 7 socket

Factory intercooler
Of course you don't want to be seen with this...
Darkside intercooler

I did a mod!

OEM brake pad indicator!



Wiring:



Tacho T32/15 to the brake pad. Connect the other wire of the brake pad to GND.
I only did the front axle by the way.

Coding:
You need to read the EEPROM of your instrument cluster and change offset 02D3 (line 02D0 byte 3) and take bit 0 and change to 1.
In my case, I changed HEX 46 to 47.

Then you can code byte 1 bit 0 of the instrument cluster. 140E01 to 140F01

Now if the brake pad is worn, the contact will break and the instrument cluster will tell me.

Secretly my car wants to be a pirate

Ok, without right headlight. ...or do you mean something else?
However, I think our 6Rs are authentic pirates a long time ago (not just shock absorbers, big wheels, painted flames... ).

Clearly, you really enjoy your 6R.

Yes haha. I removed the entire front of the car, including supporting frames. It was needed to place back the headlight for alignment of the bumper and headlights.
Afterwards I remove the left headlight (right on the picture) to continue work on the DSG wiring (DSG connector and starter inhibitor relay).

I am absolutely still enjoying my 6R(s), in two weeks the Rosa-Line will have its 9th birthday.
It's funny we still call it the Rosa-Line, even though we broke up almost two years ago.

There is always more potential to unlock in a car and there is always more things to learn.
