    I have my EGR valve replaced, intake manifold cleaned, oil changed, throttle body cleaned, exhaust gas sensor before catalytic converter replaced, the carbon from the auxiliary water pump was renewed. The brake discs and brake pads are still renewed, engine and transmission bearings are still replaced, new diesel particulate filter and new ABS sensor rings are renewed. So far everything is done and probably saved over 300€. After I've done all that, I'm going to cruise down the autobahn at 200 km/h. :D

    Sorry for bad grammar but it's translated with DeepL.

    Replaced front brake pads and rotors. Rears on deck along with stainless braided hoses and much better fluid, but I ran out of time due to multiple stubborn fasteners

    Got my car back from having coilovers installed they are brilliant but then again having spent 3300€ i can expect that somehow. They are KW DDC coilovers btw now my next thing that needs to be done is the clutch since the old one cant handle the chiptune. After that its finally ready for the mission 400hp by that point i probably have spent as much money on the car as it cost new.

    Yesterday I was driving my Skoda Octavia for 7 hours (at one trip), but run only 200 km. I love big cities for car jams :)
