    If you modify it then you go with the risk. Obviously the more obvious the mods the higher the risk.

    Pot luck on the balancing Mine went two months ago 84k. Just make sure you have a warranty. Motoreasy were good with me.
  4. Your fastest 0-60 Time

    Update Hit indicated 5.1. Still not mastered launch. Granted I am only using odb2 here with Torque PRO, but it seems to be accurate. I.e. big wheel spin = 5.5, 5.6.. little wheel spin 5.1, 5.2 Oh and I've got indicated 1.5 twice from 40-60 :)

  10. Broken Down.. right now..

    06K 145 702 N That's the faulty turbo number. It's an early 2014 car for sure since I don't have the white stripe on the seats or the 280 badge on the back, so would make sense for it to be the turbo. It lasted 81k miles though which seems higher than most failed 06K 145 702 Ns.
  11. Broken Down.. right now..

    Sorry.. I meant it struggles to start but does start eventually.
  12. Broken Down.. right now..

    It's a 2014 Cupra. Oddly Cylinder 4 is misfiring which is why it's lumpy when it's starting.. Not sure if that is a likely cause too.. doesn't explain the noises .. but it did sound electrical as per my original description

    Mines on 82k Wheel bearing went about 2k mikes ago. Dampers still feel good, and had it on the dyno pre remap and it hit 282hp, so only gained in power. I came from a 160k 330i which I used to track and daily. So long as you look after your motor miles is just a number :)
