DanGB's GTX2867 4WD Mk2 Leon Sport TFSI - New brake setup

[DanGB]

I'm thinking Altea Freetrack as a donar car

Donor car doesn't really matter too much as all the parts are from the VAG parts bin, so R32, Golf 4Motion, A3 Quattro, S3, Octavia 4x4.
Think mine is mix of R32 and S3.

a question tho... What did this conversion cost to get done

seeing as I am a mk2 leon cupra owner now.

fwd mk2 traction sux

and how much did this cost?

Cost depends on the parts availability, but we got is as a 'package', and im not certain on the total cost, maybe 300 euro.

But here is a run down on the parts I can remember that are needed.

4WD diff
Propshaft
Front transfer box
Rear diff
Diff carrier
Haldex controller
fuel tank and sender
ABS controller
ESP controller
Rear subframe
Rear hubs
L/R Rear propshafts
Front and rear Anti roll bars
New exhaust parts
wires, bolts, sundries, and oils

Labour must be 50 plus hours.

Just shy of £3k once VAT's chunked on?

 

[GTi T]

Most garages/tuning shops around my area are around £60/hour labour so just the labour alone is £3000 for those 50 hours unless yours was drastically cheaper and then add on all the parts you need too

Bill, what you thinkin lol.

If the full conversion costs £3k all in then put my name down please.

Bill, what you thinkin lol.

Sell the Cupra and get an S3 which is a better car in the first place

I wouldn't of done it, but ive gone so far with my car over the last 7 years I have no intention of ever selling. Its a big change to the car, involving cutting bits out as you can see!

PS; I have got the ESP working correctly yet, but hopefully soon.

 

[big eck]

I like the look of the Leon over the S3 tho lol.

I think the turbo is faulty, so off the road at the moment. Booked into AKS for replacement first week of November!
Also getting the gearbox looked at and rebuilt.

Always had an issue with launching, im sure I mentioned before, how it bogs like noting else! Haven't got to the bottom of it yet.

Whilst the car is off the road, taking the chance to tidy it up a bit. Pictures to follow!

Looking forward to the results Dan. This car should be immense once back to tip top condition.

Hi Dan,

Quick question, were you able to fit the new transfer box onto your existing gearbox/transmission or did you have to change that as well? Its just I cant see a new gearbox mentioned in the above list.

How did you get on with the ESP setup? is it sorted now? was it down to coding alone? thanks
