    sticky turbo vanes carbon deposit cleaning

    so far i’ve found mr muscle oven cleaner is great as a last resort. i tried ecotec egr turbo cleaner spray and it lasted about 2 weeks of regaining a decent bit of boost, so the research goes on. next i’m going to try wynns turbo cleaner spray

    Dead Turbo

    alh turbo refurb cost me £600 that included uninstall and reinstall of the turbo. sorry i can’t be of much help. possibly there’s a lot more wrong than just the turbo. darkside developments are the only guys id trust but hopefully you’ll find some professional diesel mechanic closer to home.

    sticky turbo vanes carbon deposit cleaning

    just got more of the mr muscle oven cleaner. usually spray in twice with 5 hours in between works well enough. smokes a bit on idle after a bit of a rake on the motorway for a couple of days.

    sticky turbo vanes carbon deposit cleaning

    i've used the mr muscle oven cleaner before as easy to do as i had the egr delete and tune done, it's an alh. just wondering if anyone has tested oven pride? though i'm guessing because it's not foaming type carbon deposit cleaner it probably won't work.

    One off super customised Leon...!

    looks alright at the back and nice artwork but the front reminds me of a golf mk4 i saw, the front looked like it had an allergic reaction it was all bloated. but yea just another rice interpretation

    tyre question

    suspension setup & strut bushing choice makes big difference to how well the front tyres stay on the ground under acceleration. was wondering has the vredestein ultrac sessanta fallen out of favour?

    hid to led dipped beam & full beam

    has built in cooling fan & with over heat protection fan-failure setup protection for reliability. for the 2400lm from 20w per bulb, maybe slightly overdriven. anyways if the mk3 Leon has led headlamps you'd would have expected the oem/aftermarket China led capital would have it absolutely...

    hid to led dipped beam & full beam

    has anyone here swapped out their h7r hid dipped beam setup for an led h7 6000k setup? saw a couple of led h7 packs on eBay one with 2400lm and another at 6400lm which i think might be way too much (lm = lumens) at the moment I just get the hid dip beam swapped over to standard dip beam bulbs...

    turbo diesel decat vs mot dvta ni

    no your not late as I've only got as far as fine tuning the engine, thanks. other reason I ask is because darkside development do decat downpipe for the mk 4 ve tdi engine.

    turbo diesel decat vs mot dvta ni

    righto thanks for reply. think I'll be happy enough to put a set of shocks & springs on at the moment. funny enough tho got a reply from Dvta ni as I said I was hoping for more info but was told what's there in the PDFs is sufficient.
