Techie is back Boca style

[Deleted member 49882]

Think I would risk the suspension warranty void. Realistically, it is very rare that I have heard of suspension failure. On my old Clio 182 I had to have the rear shocks replaced under warranty due to leaky seals...but from what I read at the time, it was mainly due to a bad batch of shocks.

I think the coilovers would be a risk worth taking.

very nice techie, sorry i havent read the whole thread but its looking good, i think i may have seen it at spring fest with the storm troopers on the dash?

looking forward to the pics once its slammed! my misses wanted to put her new 1.6tdi on coils but strangely i said no dont its too new! might have to try again to convince her on the boc now shes working closer to home! i like the white ones.

sorry do you have any software on there revo or anything? they seem to go really well only thing is that i noticed a few threads of broken ones recently that puts me off a bit.

My Boc is broken at the moment...turbo is wrecked, but I think it is a rarity that it happened. Am looking forward to getting it back...hoping there will be no more problems

Wrong Mirrors

Well, you were right. Contacted my dealer today and it appears that my Boca has the wrong mirrors fitted :-(

They are in the process of fixing this now..

 

[mardon]

Yeah they are FR mirrors and look rather poo with the black colour scheme.

On topic though car looking very smart mate! Good to meet you, sorted my BOV as well will fit it after my 10k service

Dealer is going to replace with Black ones, as it should be. Have also ordered the rear spoiler as well..

 

[CupraDean]

LMAO that is absolutely hilarious! what a slip up from the great guys at seat!

 

[VRSLOZ]

Surely at some point someone must have noticed that and thought "You know, that just ain't right"!

 

[swfc3045]

You would think so. But I guess I got a Friday afternoon car

 

[jc_boc]

Or a Monday morning one hehehehehhehe

Thats the one mate, the troopers are normally there somewhere.

Slammed? it is as low as it can be at the moment.

No software changes, running the standard map.

Few pics from the weekend

techie i know im being completely random and possibly off subjkect but i need your help, i took my car into the garage yesterday to get it lowered, the garage said tht it would only take a few hours, however on the way back from wheel alignment the abs light was flashing. the garage replaced the abs sensor on the front left of the car where the problem was but this didnt help it. the mechanic has explained to me in german but im not sure what he means, something to do with the abs, brakes obviously and some sort of magnat in the brakes which has messed everything up. what are your thoughts buddy? really need your help cheers

 

[techie]

Sounds like a wheel bearing issue maybe. The magneting pick up for the wheel speed sensor is part of the hub/bearing.

But I have known a few people damage wiring to the ABS sensor whilst lowering.

 

[dan_wilson87]

but why would just lowering the car set this off

 

[techie]

Ony because its been damaged.
