    Did you clean the turbo from carbon build up yet? It can cause the car to get into limp mode Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    Camshaft gone, recommendations please?

    Thanks for the advise and the replys guys, to be fair I thought it was reasonable, expensive but fair. Car is back on the road and runs lovely, I'm doing 70 mile round trips this week so I'm glad it's working. I'll have to do some overtime to cover the cost tho but it's worth it. I think I'll...

    Camshaft gone, recommendations please?

    Just an update on this, got the car back. Lobe 1 was partially worn and 4 was shot completely all in all it was £760 in total for camshaft kit, timing kit, oil filter and oil change. Car runs better obviously but I need to test it on a long run. Is £760 reasonable for all the above? Sent...

    Camshaft gone, recommendations please?

    I think repairing is a bit out of my skill set, I took it to a VAG specialist to get a quote. He pointed out that the timing belt might need doing. It's 4 years old so I might as well do it while at it.. I have a feeling it's gonna be rather expensive... I'm even debating if to sell it as it...

    what have you done to your car today ?

    Looking good! What make is that? I got mine done few weeks ago, I bought Sportex exhaust with oval tip for my TDi FR+. The factory twin tip exhaust was enormous like twice the size of this. There isn't even much of a sound difference. I also cleaned the EGR valve today after having engine...

    what have you done to your car today ?

    Sourced out a new pancake pipe for my ARL as the old one was suffering from the typical broken lip. Replaced O rings and reinforced with 2 layers of heatshrink. Nice and tight now, no boost loss, but still not running 100% maybe I need to carbon clean the turbo Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

    what have you done to your car today ?

    That's sounds interesting, I'm 6'5 and find the seats far too high. Can you please provide more information on the mod? Sent from my HUAWEI CAN-L01 using Tapatalk

    what have you done to your car today ?

    Got a replacement rear door after the original got hit by a motorbike. While at it I had a pair of 17cm speakers stashed away and I thought it's the time to use them so I modded the old speakers and combined it with the new What I found with my previous Leons that some of the sound used to get...

    Coil springs

    Same for me, my vin is not recognised either. I think it works for LHD only. Nevertheless, I've used this resource for the part numbers of calliper carriers and other bits I ordered for my car. I can confirm that it's reliable I cross referenced with other resources. Is a great place to...

    Coil springs

    Just to add, lowering springs means lowering from standard height. The springs I got were from some1 who was going to fit them in his seat to lower it. But it turned out that he had the same make already fitted. From the pictures he uploaded the car was looking at standard FR height. That is...
