Very true. I know I did. That's why I bought mine totally standard 3 years ago in June for £8500. Modifying it was a real nightmare. Had problems with so many aftermarket parts. An ill fitting Supersprint exhaust system, suspension knocking and creaking which turned out to be the H&R cup kit...

But is a year newer, 12k less miles and £2500 of modifications and nice blue pearlescent paint :happy: worth another £1500? I guess that's down to the individual.

Thanks guys, at least I know I'm sort of on the right track. Many thanks. Cars are more expensive down south and you don't get much more south than me :doh:

What do you call worthwhile mods?? The book price for private sale on a Cupra R is only £500 more than a Cupra so I don't know where that idea comes from :headhurt: The map is p-torque - Will has been very helpful. The car has been checked by so many garages now so I know is in very good...

Yes, as suspected all along, a knackered actuator. Thanks mate. Hope to bump into you soon in the family wagon :cartman: Oh, I forgot, it also has window tints all round (smoke with silver pearl effect). I was thinking of asking £6250 to start :confused:

I need to sell due to expanding family but I've been waiting until I sorted the performance problems out first. Damn shame as now the car flies and I haven't had time to enjoy it :cry: Anyway, the car is April 2002 '02' reg. 48k miles 8 months MOT. 10 months tax. Full service history and all...

I think mine was the 3rd to be fully centralised thanks to Wazo, although mine sat more forward than his, he was gutted it looked better :lol: Oh and what's this about trimming the crash bar? We had to cut one of the cross beams but the crash bar stayed as it was.

I'm selling my Ibiza so just filling out a retention form. £105 :cry:

I would get the coolant temp sensor change, it's very easy. Mine went before and gave me limp mode.

Hang on... if it's boosting at 7psi then that MAF reading would be about right as you're back on standard power. Is the Revo definitely on (faulty switch?) or is it in limp mode? Hve you tried unplugging the MAF to see if you get more boost? I guess a faulty MAF could also be reducing the boost...

Correct. Only on one cylinder. Old petrol is still running through. Could be a coilpack on the way out I guess.

I have a personal plate. My opinion is keep them simple. Mine are standard legal text with just a black border line. When you go putting extra words/pictures on the plates, it detracts from the personal reg. Save your money! I prefer to Munchen South lol

Cheers. I've never seen requested boost though. My head hurts :headhurt:

Can't afford it to be honest and I need to sell the car due to expanding family. Dread to think how much a standard downpipe/cat is. Cheapest option would be to have the cat removed but then it's not legal. I wonder if anyone has a working OEM for sale. I'm sure I've logged previously with...

Thank you. Downpipe and cat are standard. Car's done 48k. I just have a cat-back system. Do you think the blockage would be obvious if the centre section is removed or will it have to be taken off from the turbo too to inspect? I've had coil packs go in the past which have been replaced. Plugs...

OK, where can I get hold of 'Lemmiwinks' or 'Custom Settings' please? The laptop I use has VAG-COM 311 with an official ISO-COM serial lead. What's the chance of it working with the software to retard the timing please? PS. Now full of Optimax which I'll be running from now on - see what...

Right. I wound it right in. Car seems to go much better. From early testing, according to my gauge. I just saw 15psi creep to 17psi before dropping to 11psi at redline (in 3rd). Does this point to a weak actuator spring then or am I overworking the turbo now (excuse my ignorance again!) I'm...

When you say 'wound out' do you mean wound towards the actuator rather than the end of the rod? I understand I'll be making the spring stiffer by winding it towards the actuator. Shall I wind it all the way and do another log? Surely fueling will be OK as long as it's not reaching over the...

If it's erratic then could it be the N75 valve?
