Yeah, I know what you're thinking. How the **** are we supposed to answer that? Aaaand I'd probably think the same. Let me try and explain.
I'm an absolute car mod "noob". Besides remapping a focus I had a year or two ago, I've never modded any car I've owned. I recently bought a Leon mk2 fr tfsi 2.0 from my uncle. It was my cousins old car, who for one reason or another is no longer in the picture. 80k miles on the clock and only £500. I know what you're thinking. There's things wrong with that car at that price. And I'm pretty sure you're right. The heater fans Dont work. The aftermarket sat navigation/stereo has suddenly stopped working (won't turn on - it did a few days ago, then stopped playing sound, now won't switch on at all). The engine management light is showing, sometimes it flashes like mad, sometimes it's solid, occasionally it's not there at all. The aftermarket exhaust on the car rattles/vibrates like mad and occasionally gives out a loud "pop". My uncle seems to think the eml is down to the exhaust but wasn't sure. That's what I've picked up so far after owning the car for a few days.
I do understand that the best thing I could do is use vagcom to pick up the fault codes, however, i have a limited amount of £ for repairs at the moment and can't justify spending £300 on the cable which could be used to fix the issues rather than just diagnose them. Anyhow, I'm kind of digressing from the point of the thread. The car is heavily modified. It has a large dual tip aftermarket exhaust, which I have no frigging idea what exhaust it is. It has also been remapped. Again, what stage of remap, I've no idea. I also "believe " it has an upgraded coil back (from what I've been told as I sent a picture of under the bonnet to a friend). From the sound of the engine when I lift off the accelarator I think it might have a dump valve upgrade, there 's a "hiss". Again, I'm showing my very limited knowledge here. It's either that or another problem with the car.
From what I do know, it has an ITG induction kit. Only reason I know that...it says ITG on the large foam air filter. Haha. That's about as much as I know. If I upload an under bonnet picture, and a pic of the exhaust, what's the chances of any of you lads being able to say, yeah that's the xxxx exhaust system etc?
Lastly, I'm gonna be cheeky now. Is anyone here from the barnsley area with a vag com? Lol. Cheers for reading my essay!
