Mine stalled as I came into the petrol station with 605 on the trip but 5 on the range?! Took some effort to start too.

Mine was showing 5miles left but guage was on empty and then next services was 55 miles away so i thought i had better pull in :cartman:

I did some spirited driving around Knockhill though so i could of gone maybe 20-30 miles further if i hadnt of done that

jimbo_howarth has just had his PD170 Leon done by JBS (Phase 2 DPF Delete like mine) and hes since had a Helix Clutch + SMF Fitted by Backdraft Motorsport so i naturally asked him to come show me! We went out for a spin in it and my god it felt immense compared to mine! Even though ive got better engine mounts etc! Yes it does rattle but......... its not as loud as everybody makes out, Pedal is alot stiffer but i could get used to that


So i can now confirm i will be getting the SMF kit soon

Trying to find somebody who can supply it for cheapest price and then somebody who can fit it for cheapest price at the moment, not many places deal with Helix most people deal with Sachs

His car felt great with the helix. Pulled like a train. After fitting it I was surprised it wasn't as loud as others I've done. It's convinced me to get one for my altea, and get a downpipe for it too!

We ain't always the cheapest, but quality counts ;). Have we gives you a quote yet?

Car's been into MK SEAT today to investigate the Tandem fuel pump issue (Fuel filter full of oil) SEAT are saying its perfectly normal for that to happen, they have tested and checke the Tandem fuel pump and seals and its fine. Im now going down the route of requesting SEAT UK replace my injectors in the light of all of these PD170 Injector Failures

Skoda UK have sent an email to a guy saying basically if your not happy with the Injectors they will replace them all for you, if SEAT UK can confirm mine left the factory with the dodgy injectors then they will be replaced,ive pasted the email sent in the PD170 Injectors thread on here

Aye, didn't want to advertise it yet in that thread. Will when it's done. Mine had one fail about a year ago, replaced at a different dealer. After reading here I thought I'd give it a try. Jo @ SEAT UK was brilliant.

On yet another subject, when is your MOT due?
