Yep, been there before, plenty of my life has been spent cold and wet under cars on driveways too! Thankfully no longer!Nice work, and I wish I had a garage like that to work on my car in.
It's no fun lying on the floor this time of the year in a freezing cold puddle
F you have an under tray they can't fail it, as no parts can be removed on an mot! Plus my mate has just been on his refresher course and brought this up (he has a b6 saloon q) and was told the same thing
Yep, I'm aware thanks, both ports have thick poly sheet cable-tied onto them for the time being....nothing is getting in!I'd be carefull with leaving the second intercooler exposed. Any dirt or debris no matter how small if it where to get inside the engine especially a diesel can potentially cause big damage.
See your doing it all wrong, what you do is overestimate the time you need so when you finish early, her indoors thinks its a good thing!Ha ha that always causes a debate with the wife as I have to get everything out, then put it away at the end and never account for it.
'You said you would be two hours, but you've been almost four!'
You would think after ten years of me doing this whilest living together she would have cottoned on by now.
Yeah, the gap where the downpipe emerges you can see up into the engine bay.You can still see the cat on one of these as the under tray is only directly under the engine. There is a gap behind the subframe which you can see up and past to where the cat is.
I'm an mot tester myself but I would be that critical unless it failed the emissions test.
Get a ghost cat if your that bothered. But I have been told twice now that they will still pass!!See your doing it all wrong, what you do is overestimate the time you need so when you finish early, her indoors thinks its a good thing!

Good good, I like an MOT tester with a common sense view on things, rather than blindly following the rules. Luckily I have one if those nearby.....
Yeah diesels only have a smoke/particulate test, rather than full gas analysed emissions tests on a petrol car.Get a ghost cat if your that bothered. But I have been told twice now that they will still pass!!
Good luck with the mot!I need do this. Make sure it gets through its mot Saturday first lol
Price on the wheels please dude, tyres as well? If so what are they?Good luck with the mot!
Going back down to 17's I'm considering selling the 18" A5 alloys and getting 4 more of these A5 alloys for summer as I much prefer the ride and the look. Bit of a dish to them! I still have 5 x original 5 spoke 17's in the garage I need to sell on too!! :S
Haha, no worries. Get in touch when funds (and her indoors) allows!Thanks Rob for the info, might be a bit steep price wise before Xmas, I'll give you a shout next month once/if the wife stops buying things....
