Nope no trouble with the car at all, except maybe a small decrease in performance, probably because a sensor of some kind has broke

Got the leon fault checked at Amd, ended up being the fuel temp sensor :confused:, nothing serious then so thats good.

As i was down there i thought id get a few bits.

I knew my standard air filter hadn't been changed since new so i got a pipercross panel filter

Don't u like the FR seats? I think they are superb for what they are.

As for silicon hoses you want to look at the SFS PD150 kit, got it on mine and its great.

Remap; AMD, JabbaSport, Custom Code, P-Torque, REVO, R.S Tuning, APR Tuned. Descisions lol

Mk4 Recaros. Good choice! I've finally decided what I'm doing with mine. Just need to get a few quotes now.

I believe you can get the SFS Hoses from AMD (not sure on the price, I need to post up a request in their section on here). There is also a groupbuy going on on UKMKIVs aiming to get 35% off hopefully. SFS is basically the only off the shelf option at the moment.

If you want to know what the AMD map on the 150PD is like ask JonJay, I know he has one and is more than happy with it.

How are you enjoying keeping black clean? ;)

Well i knew what i was getting into when i went for the black as ive had 3 other black cars before, it's a full time job keeping it clean :headhurt:

Looking at the sfs options but they quite a few choices, not sure which pipes are the best to replace :confused: Advise required*

saw Jonjay today at Amd, if id known he had the remap there i would have asked him

SFS do three seperate kits which cover various parts.
The coolant set is mainly for looks more than anything.

Trust Maz to be at AMD, he loves that place :)

Any difference / improvement Maz? I know mine feels better - not sure how that translates into numbers, if at all.

You too mate, didnt get a proper chance to look at your car. Feel any better with the new pipes and were they easy to fit?
