My caddy life 1.9tdi
Hei, Marco from Italy, bought a caddy some weeks ago because i needed something practical and cheap on gas to daily drive, after some months of searching i've found this an hour away from me.

Had a water leak due to a broken water return line and a oil leak in the tandem pump area so time for some cleaning in the engine bay, new return line, new thermostat and housing, new rocker cover gasket and tandem pump gasket, new oil filter housing gasket and new heater hoses as oil leaking had soften the original ones, new filters and fresh oil, should be ok for a while now. Also changed the firewall insulation panel

I'm against steelies (standard 15 slim steelies at least
) so with winter coming i bought some snow tires and a set of 16s and we're good for now, would like a bit of lowering and maybe some 18s next year but here in Italy it's quite expensive to have it done legally so we'll see

Didn't like those dirty seats so went from these
To these
Touran bases and seats. Re-pinned airbag connectors, and a fresh retrimmed leather steering wheel
Pretty hally with them. Seats are much comfier, i really think they freshens up a lot the interiors

I have the complete dash ready to go inside but it will be a spring work as it's getting a little cold here and don't have enough room in the box
