Not today but yesterday, detailed it and took off the headlight tints and plasti-dip off the badges.

They were looking a little worse for wear but, this might be the start of putting it back to standard.

Hi guys I'm new to this site. I've google everything and can't find a guide.
Can anyone help Guide me through the installation process from a standard MP3 stereo to either a rcd 315, rcd 510 or a rns 510 in my seat altea.
Would be looking at buying which ever unit is easiest to install.
Thanks in advance.

Stuff it I bought a SH rns 510 from a skoda. So just need to know where I can get a facia from as my original won't fit?
Quick search online and the cheapest I can get is £39.99

Went to check up on my car today

Engine has been removed and awaits getting stripped so i can have the crank reground with new mains and big end bearings , oil pump reconditioned with a tougher/long shaft so it does not shear off and also have my forged rods installed

Had the block stripped so it can get rehoned or bores depending on condition

I hope so, I've already had the cam chain and tensioner done within the last 12 months, but lately having intermittent idle issues/low power and this morning threw an engine light.

To do with timing?

Yup, had it checked and the timing pulley wasn't doing anything and was stuck at something like -27 degrees. Sounded like a BTCC car cycling on idle.
Replaced the chain as a precaution in case it had been stretched by the non-adjusting pulley.

The code I got from Carista was "P0016 CMP Sensor (G40)/Engine Speed Sensor (G28) Bank 1, incorrect correlation"

Did you replace the pulley and tensioner aswell?

And has that solved the issue?

The bonnet paint had gone horrible after a poor respray in the past (before I had the car) and also had a nasty dent above the grill after a football hit it. So got the dent sorted and thankfully my dad for sorted the paint, done a great job, so dead pleased.

Also someone punched the rear quarter panel outside of a pub, which is now sorted and I’ll polish the panel with the DA over Christmas when I’m off work.
