£121 currently, but usually a sale comes along. Useful for diagnostics as well as the configuration options.
Have you done yours yet ?Good good now your ready for a new front end
Waiting for the big reveal
No not yet. I've painted both grills as i didn't know which colour to go for and just plucking up courage to purchase the bumper, thats all I'm needing apart from some custom badges.
May have to get an OBDeleven then. Question: do I need the subscription version to code the fader?
You need at least the "Pro" subscription for access to manual coding and adaptations.
Although I haven't coded that specifically myself, a screenshot of the app shown in an earlier post shows the coding page of the app, so yes you will.
Comparison on plans here
Changed the pollen filter and air filter. Only 3.5 years and 17K but pollen filter in particular was 
. Hoovered out the airbox, cleaned the external of the air filter housing whilst it was off. Also, as better access to brake servo painted some Bilt Hamber rust prevention/underbody wax to the pressed lip of the servo where there was a minute bit of surface rust starting (rubbed it down with a bit of scotch-brite first).
Pollen filter was a doddle as last year i removed the awful PITA clips off the lower dash cover and replaced with M5 Allen head bolts and chimney nuts. See photos. (Did this when I had panel off when soundproofing as the clips always break when removing
).
Now …….. a well earned coffee.
Oh if interested Bosch OEM grade filters are M2114 for pollen and S3331 for engine.

Had the haldex serviced, new front shocks and a set of Eibach SoLow springs fitted.

Just fitted stickers to my van.
Love em.
Really finishes the look off, in my eyes.
Absolute nightmare to put the first VW stripe on, passenger side, you can see some of the edges are a mess (I'll sort eventually). Came with no instructions so 3 hours of trial and error. But I'm so pleased.
The window stickers took 1 min each. Lol.
Comforser white lettering tyres next and then I'm done.
My perfect van.

Looks so good, but I would love a gratuitous half lock photo showing the special tread pattern!
