what have you done to your car today ?

[Mk1 banana]

Changed inlet manifold, (inc injector seals, tb gasket...) so I could do away worth the self tapper in the mani, and 't' Piece in the fpr (vac) hose.
so much more responsive now, after a few coughs and splutters!
Re scanned and no faults at the moment hopefully fit for the map on Saturday morning now...

What a day! struggled with a mate taking out the gearbox to do the new clutch and dmf, then tried taking the turbo off!! How much of a bitch is the access to the spring clip on the TIP (fr150)?? took me about an hour haha! All out now, new clutch lined up and ready for the turbo to be picked up, reconned and sent back then box back on and bed in the turbo!

Bought a new "R" badge for the rear of the car as the old one had faded somewhat and it made the car look older than it is.

This is what I've got in mine! Change the top mount bearings whilst your at it, My steering improved loads, so smooth!

 

[mill5y]

You dnt have a link or part number for the bearings do you?? Are these parts all universal across golfs/leons etc, is it very hard to ordr wrong parts??

 

[joshy514]

Just go to a local dealer and order some, I think mine were like £12 for both, no point in not doing it if half the front's coming apart....

[supersticky]

Spent a few hours this morning fitting a CM TIP. After much swearing and hamering (gently) I got the adapter on. It was tighter than a fishes **** then chopped up the TIP to make it fit;

Have I done it right?

Also adjusted handbrake as it was only pulling on one side, then hoovered and polished inside. Time to give it a shower... Ready for RR tomorrow

Yer looks right to me.

Yer looks right to me.

Just been out for a testy and all seems sweet. Dv is marginally louder, and car pulls harder lower down. Keeps max spool on higher up the revs now. Need to improve on lag lower down next.
