Default What did you do to your D4 today?

Inspired by threads in the other community forums I’ve been on (vwvortex). This is a thread to know what you did to your D4 today. Post up things like, maintenance, tunes, mods, bodywork, etc... ANYTHING related to your D4 is welcome! I think it could be a really useful tool and a cool way to get involved and bounce ideas around on here.

So to kick off, today I installed my Cete Auto v2 Adaptive Suspension module. Very straight forward process, literally plug n play, but on the D4 the WABCO location is a pain in the *** to get to so that made the install extremely difficult. I lowered it 35mm (pictured below) for Dynamic ride height and it lowers in “show mode” 50mm. Next up I’m gonna have some 22x10 22x11 built to get this sittin nice.

I added a little more Marvel Mystery Oil to my engine to help clean out carbon. Getting ready for my first oil change. I did not want to overfill so I started off with about 6 ounces and then added another 6 yesterday, a few weeks later. I prefer this slow and steady method over an engine flush as it has time to circulate and clean. Love the stuff as a fuel additive as well.

Shined my D4 up with Pinnacle Black Diamond detail spray yesterday. Took it in this morning for scheduled maintenance service: oil/filter change, flush brake lines/new brake fluid, and rotate tires.

I replaced my drivers side headlight. After the front end rebuild from hitting a deer I had to go to the dealership to have the acc calibrated. On the way home a piece of wood bounced up and hit my drivers side headlight cracking it. On a positive note that was the only part left that wasn't brand new.

Also, messing with the green menu (interesting stuff, but wondering if there are any A8 mods someone can point me to)...

i've enabled the battery level gauge but was unable to display it... anyone else can shed some light on how i can retrieve it?

What type of mods you looking at? Vagcom mods? These have been posted previously
