    Rainbird's LCR

    as I browse your thread I cannot help but feel that I should post all the little things I do to mine as it would make for much better reading, although half of them would be a photo of my car at Shell with a petrol pump next to it :lol:

    Rob was it the vacuum breather? that was the exact one that went on mine! I bit the bullet and got a new one from TPS, it was part of a series though, couldn't get a single pipe as its all enclosed so I got the bundle and it fixed it! I have fixed all issues but one now, im boosting comfortably...

    dump valve/boost problem

    ive had a smoke test done previously and one pipe was split, had it replaced and there are no more leaks, but this issue is still ongoing. as for the temp sensor, can it affect the DV operation? ive tried a few DVs and they all do the same, as for the temp sensor ill do that this weekend and see...

    dump valve/boost problem

    Hi all, this is on my 2003 Cupra R, basically approx 2 weeks ago I had a boost leak, at the time I did not realise it was a boost leak, my old dump valve on release didn't create much of a hiss, it was more of a quick hiss then a loud TING, so I took it to the garage, had it all checked out and...

    strange boost issue? lcr

    nothing like ive had mate, mine was just constantly down, you could feel it holding back no matter what, I had a boost gauge on mine today and it was sat at a steady 20psi right the way through the gears, whereas before my crank vacuum one was done it would fluctuate between 15-18. I'd say get...

    Sweet jesus! is that a smoke and pressure test or just smoke? in their defence it was literally a 30 second job to find my massive split haha. Yes indeed Luke, the original leak was from the crank breather which is a vacuum, quite common apparently, but anyway, there is a second pipe that's...

    ChrisThomas99s' 2003 LCR

    I was going to go down that route but all the major pipes are less than a year old so I didn't see the point, chucked them 20 of the queens finest found me a leak, fixed it then did another test just for good measure, although I think since this that I've developed a vacuum leak on the actuator...

    yes mate, I had it done by Rhino Motors in Plympton, Shane and Ryan, I can't fault them! They also have VCDS so if you need any logging done, they're the right team!

    ahhhh, the washer is pretty much new just unfortunately it never came with the extras! Should you get your VCDS cable working one day, fancy plugging me in for some beer tokens and cuddles? :)

    I know its a miltek catback but I felt sure the backbox was standard until I had a gentle browse online, I would like to change to cobra in the near future though.

    Rainbird's LCR

    its surprising what different chemicals can do! you always hear detaillers saying that the pricey stuff is quality, I would never argue with them but a ten pound bottle of G3 certainly has made a difference! Also, I noticed a Halfords pressure washer there, have you got a snowfoam lance for...
