Where did u get the R8 oil cap from??

Ebay. Gonna try my mate at TPS see how much he can get the coolant caps for.

yeh they're not too expensive from the dealers, we used to sell them when i worked for awful..... for alot more than the tps retail and they only needed a tiny bit of modification.

which tps does ur mate work for?? Chester, Manchester???

TPS Stoke, up on Park Hall. Tis the guy who i bought the golf off.

ah right. didnt know there was one in Stoke lol

Leon's looking good anyway mate. I'd love a Cupra

looking gd dave !!! you know you want give me that oil cap

Lol. You've been after it for a while. There about £20 off ebay ready to fit.

I've spent the day productively removing the badges from the tailgate, fitted my new tax disk holder and plates.

Looked good in the flesh too

Very tidy motor.

My missus attempt at rolling shots. Would of helped if the astra could of kept up with the leon

looks abit grey in taff land lol good pics them are dave

Lol Cheers mate. It looked grey, but didn't rain at all!

New sticker

lookin gd dave !!!!!

Nice one Dave looking good.

Cheers. Need to strat getting things sorted for the RR day now.

Found out on sunday I have a leaky washer bottle pipe. Had a look to and the pipe seems to be split in 2 and both ends just gaffa taped together. Bit gay lol.

haha only a bit gay thats rate shite at least you found out now so its sorted under warrenty

Didn't get it done under warrenty, parts are gonna cost less than £4 so didn't see the point claiming on the warrenty.

Needs a damn good cleaning ready for 2moz.

Found some grease on the drivers side front wheel, leaking from the CV boot. Next on the list of things to get sorted.

Washer bottle leak sorted. Splittr valve blanked of so fully re circulating.

THanks to Monkey Boy got a list of goodies to start buying soon.

- FMIC
- New induction kit
- Boost hoses
- TIP
- Oil breather pipes
- Boost gauge and Vent pod

Got my RS4's ready to be shot blasted and painted. Colour undecied yet. Want to do some thing that stands out from the rest.

Also found the the discs and caliper carriers on ebay for when i get the MK3 sold and the Porsche calipers bought

nice one dave good te see nice plans for the seat

Cheers mate. Will be rocking the unpainted wheels soon.

I've been toying with the idea of the fitting facelift cupra bumpers or Cupra R items. Just browsing for prices atm.

sounds good dave

i think you have fitted your splitr wrong mate,

the bottom is where your supposed have the boost coming in and the side is the the recirc part that goes into the intake to dump the boost back through,

looks good though

id recommend the silicone intake pipe it makes it boost alot harder

Hahaha. Seems i have fitted it wrong lol.

yeah cupra front

:lol: i thought so i was looking at it and thinking have i put mine on worng :lol:

how many clicks have you got yours set to as well as thats waht makes all the difference

mines on 20,

if you dont no what i mean

if you turn the top all the way anticlock wise till it stops then turn it till you fell the 1st click and thats 1 click

for standard 1.8ts you want about 15 but for remapped ones you want 15-25 i put mine on 20 and the blow off is nice so you can hear it and the boost picks up and holds well

also you mentioned that you are going to replace the tip with a forge one i wouldnt bother as if youy buy the larger silicone intake there is no need for the forge tip as its not used as the intake pipe goes straight to the turbo,

i got all my hoses from a place in new castle ill have get down to a meet let you have a look,

Erm as for the setting i dont know. Dont know if mirnes been mapped or not. Gonna have a little play 2moz. Wouldn't be using a Forge TIP. Theres some on ebay for £50 less than the forge ones. When you say newcastle do you mean our newcaslte or geordieland.

RS4's will look sick on this!

ours his ebay site is www.demonmotorsport.co.uk

buit he wont let you collect but his prices are good i had all black boost hoses for £50 and a black intake pipe for £75

i love the sound of a good blow off valve backed with a nice stainless its for winners

Cool cheers for that link phil.

Came in from work and fell asleep so didn't get anything done

All sorted and on right way.

Going in to get the CV boot replaced in the week. Dads using it atm cus the vaccum hose that runs from the servo to the airbox has split so his brakes are none exsistant

Right oh. Had a bit of mither with the leon this week. Had the vaccum hose that runs to the top of the DV pop off and put the engine management light on. So had BVR Automotive come out to sort that. Took it out for a spin and its surging under load. So my MAF might be dodgy. So standard DV back in and off the the garage it goes.

If the engine management light comes on like that just disconnect the battery and leave it for 5 minutes. Once reconnected it will clear the fault

I have some proper maf cleaner if you want to have it dave as dont need it anymore.

I've bought a fault code reader. Lad at work has gone from GT TDI to a Toyota Avensis so its not needed any more, bargin at £15.

Cheers Paul. Few little niggles now that need sorting.

See what precious metals have to to this.

"Reset engine light (on due to pipe falling off DV). Road test with customer for surging fault - vehicle surges on acceleration. Suspect possible air mass meter faulty and req throttle clean and adapt, but would need further diagnosis to confirm"

I would clean the mass first. Is yours fly by wire throttle as if it is open the drivers door then the bonnet. Put the ignition on and leave the drivers door open. After about a minute it will perform a throttle re-alignment. Should hear a motor noise from the throttle body and when it stops tuen off the ignition.

I wouldn't have a clue if mine is fly by wire. I know that theres no throttle cable if that helps.

fly by wire then

I'm lucky, got AGU lump in mine so throttle cable

Had the CV boot done today. Need to clean the damn thing but not going get a chance now with the shitty waether

Well the engine management light has come on again. Gonna find out what it is when I get in from work.

Well used my little £15 code reader and gave me the fault code 4529 which according to gendans website database is "Connection turbocharger - throttle valve pressure hose" So i'm thinking theres a boost leak somewhere, but where i dont know. If anyone can shine any light on the subject please let me know.

Well no updates for the time being. I've been sorting a few litlle niggles out.

Found a pic of the direction i want to head in


And how the wheels will look when refurbed

auto bra for the win dave them wheels look better than i imagined tbh i thought leaving the centre silver would look dodgy but it looks gd

My new Forge 007p came yesterday. Sent the splittr valve back because had caused a check engine fault and make a horrible metallic rattling when switching the engine off

whats the new one like then mate ?

I've not had the chance to fit it yet mate. I've been to busy levelling up on COD lol.

My MK3 has gone to a good home. My younger bro is having it so theres a few bits coming off to make it more insurance friendly for him.

I had an interesting call concerning wheel refurbishment last nite. Hopefully me RS4's will be sorted soon and i'll be rocking htem in the summer

what you doin with ya old rims dave ?? they would go wel lon the bug ?
