What did you and your MK2 do today?

[dj.bang]

got ATP down-pipe fitted.

 

[Jarge]

Front speakers (DLS RS6.2) and silent coating (STP Black Gold) bought, started to install...

 

[Sturtz1987]

Finally got round to fitting my h&r springs and koni dampers.

Suprised at how much smoother the ride is compared to standard fr suspension. It felt very heavy and crashy before.

Sounds great, which dampers did you go for?

 

[Unit9]

Says Koni

 

[mike0105]

Haha yes, but which ones? FSDs? Sport? Street kit?

Got round to changing my brake fluid last night. Don't think it's ever been changed, but my word what a difference it makes!

It's transformed the feel of them. Pedal is now solid and responds instantly, rather than a good 10-20mm of travel before doing anything - lots of feel/feedback through the pedal now too. Can now easily invoke a lock-up/ABS intervention whereas before it needed a lot of pressure on the pedal (straight line and low speeds)

If you've never done it guys - get it done!!!

 

[Sturtz1987]

I'm pretty sure there the street ones

Yeah they look like Srt.T dampers to me. So are these much more comfortable than stock? I'm really getting fed up with how terrible the ride is in my FR and have contemplated many different options, but these seem great value and if they sort the ride out I might just be tempted.

Yeah they are so much smoother than the stock set up. I do 500+ miles a week for work and get to feel every bump, yet these dampers just dampers just deal with bumps nicely. Still had a bit of enthusiastic driving on back Road and still perform excellent.

This is my daily car so take my 1 year daughter in and and it comfortable for that as well. For comfort against cost I could not ask for more. I'm sure the kit was £400ish from demon tweaks.

Fitted yesterday so still settling, no scribing issue or bottoming out.

Was that £400 just for the shocks or shocks and springs?

 

[Sturtz1987]

For both springs and shocks £411 with Saturday delivery.

Nice one cheers. I was ready to order H&R springs from EBay Germany but may look into these now.

 

[Sturtz1987]

Yeah would defo highly recommend then, so much smoother than stock

I've been trying to sort out my next service and decide whether I should take it to the dealer I bought it from or one of two local independent garages.

Can someone confirm for me who makes OE Seat cambelt and water pumps? (Valeo, Gates, Dayco, TRW etc)

 

[Unit9]

Just get a kit from TPS

Just get a kit from TPS

But then I'd still need to get someone to fit it. If the dealers can price match an independent garage and give me the two years warranty on the pump and 5 years on the belt then its a "no brainer"

Is the TPS kit genuine Seat and if so who makes it?

 

[Unit9]

Yes it's genuine oem, the belt will be warranted until the recommended life span' change interval

Had a gander up Buttertub Pass via the Ribblehead Run.
