Sitting at Sedox Performance at the moment to do a few diagnostic live runs to see if these flat spots I'm seeing are map-related or something else.

and your sure its that and not your etg's being too high?

It seemed pretty obvious in the logs. At each point where that boost was requested, the actual would fall and flatline at 2601. We markered 6 places during the run in different gears and it did the same thing. Also happened at around 3300 in 4th apparently but wasn't as obvious. It was too sudden and quickly resolved for it to be EGTs.

Worth an ask though

Been a while since I went to Irvine Cruise. I'm from Ayrshire originally.

Will keep an eye out for you DB, I work in Renfrew.

All I done on the Leon today was pumped up a tyre! Got a slow puncture, TPM works a treat. Will be on holiday then working overseas for a few weeks so will be giving the Leon it's annual detail when I return.

Will do bud, where a outs you work not spotted you leon as yet...

Guys,

Got my car lowered the other week and they messed up the wiper, and had to go back as the motor wasn't working - don't ask how. But anyway, when they put it back on (only realised this today), the wiper doesn't sit flush against the window like it should (looks like its in the mode where they're on) Anyone any clues on why this is sitting like this?

Defently not right!

What was you using for lowering ie how much? Springs or coilovers which brand?

Yep think I'll have to ¬_¬ Was hoping I could tighten something up so it fits into place...

Erm AK FK Street Coilovers - cheap ones but they're fine for how many miles I do.

And it was roughtly 50mm on both when they measured, give or take a couple of mil.

I run spax rsx adjustable coilovers in mine
