What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Thafussa]

Mine makes a single clattery noise when it fires up, very unique sound



Can you not get a helicoil in there?

I always avoided changing glowplugs on my old TDI for this very reason.

Quick question, what gearbox oil Weight do you guys use for the petrol FR2.0

I currently have 80W-120, gears feel stiff and hell..it was fine the first day but then it just got stiffer.

You need 75W-80, what you have in is completely wrong and I would get rid before driving the car again

Changed my LED tick lights back to standard so I can sell the car.

Now I have a spare set of lights, what to do eh?

 

[Matt cla]

Do the tick lights have reverse lights on both sides?

Fitted new Aeroflat wiper blades, and plasti dipped the back of my new bonnet soundproofing.Going to try and clean the old one as it has some mold on it

I'm tempted to just get read of the sound proofing on the bonnet, just looks a mess. Plus half the clips that hold it on have vanished.

This works wonders for cleaning it

However I've plastidipped mine. It still gets mouldy. It just makes cleaning it easier. I've yet to clear silicone the scuttle yet. That's next.

How many are you short of as my new cover came with all new clips and as my one fitted has one missing I'd be more than happy to post you some for free let me know mate

Cheers for that will look into it. My scuttle was done under the tip in 2012 but obviously as there is still some mold it's not 100%. So when I fit new one next week I shall seal the three holes in the middle.On my last Leon the water on soundproofing was crazy, regards sealing do you know of anybody who has sealed the outside rather than the underside ie between the bonnet and scuttle?

Wish I'd seen this about a minute sooner just order some of EBay, but thanks anyway.

 

[KebabWarrior81]

Ha ha no worries think its worth keeping your cover on just to protect the engine I'd rather mold build up than water on coilpacks etc

 

[ECB]

Yeah that's fair enough, I might just give it a good clean and it should look better once the clips are sorted.

Fitted new Evap Cannister and Tube.
Will hopefully solve the emission light issue.

Had a full deep clean valet on my car to get rid of the cannabis smell, the previous owner was defiantly a dealer.

Discovered that if you leave the side lights on and lock the car, when you unlock the car the dipped beams come for 30secs. once you start the car they revert to sidelights.

It was from way out of my area. And I know he only owned it for about 2 weeks. It will be fine, once the smell has gone!

Bought these recently from Simon aka toosmles. So gave them some love and polished them up ready for fitting next week along with some other goodies.

Looks proper with them wheels on. How do you find the eagle f1's. Wheel nuts looking good also where did you get them from?
