Luckily for me I have a garage where I can work on the car from time to time. With a diesel heater it's do-able :-)

- PDC sensors have been ordered, waiting on delivery to replace
- The passenger side window has completely broken. Sadly not just one of the clips I had laying around, but the plastic that mounts the cable to the clips. I'm afraid I have to order a whole new mechanism...
- Driverside door handle carrier replaced with new OEM piece. Not too bad at roughly 100euro
- Sadly now my steering rack started leaking. As in, literally dripping. One drip per ~4 seconds. Got myself a bottle of ATF fluid so I can always top it off while I figure out everything I have to do to fix this issue. Really not looking forward to having to take off everything to even get the rack out :-/
- For some reason the oil temperature no longer goes above 70 degrees (celcius) now, but two weeks ago it would get to operating temperature (90ish degrees celcius) just fine. What can this be? It's ~10 degrees celcius outside...


Tip: of course I broke some off the plastic door panel clips. The right OEM number for my pre-facelift car is 51418224768. Ordered 10 of them to be sure it hangs on properly.
