Mostly AL->VA Mostly no roof racks. Finally got rid of that check engine light (SAI - code P0411). There was a loose hose between the combi valve and the air pump.

Ran with roof racks for half the tank, painted by moi! Also replaced spark plugs at 1/2 tank. Running Bosch Platinum +4, even though NGK are recommended. On the list of things to do before Spain: fuel filter coolant/antifreeze fill tires to 30psi all around I also have a stubby polo/lupo antenna and a w8 sunroof control in the mail.
