Fitting my 3" cobra catback yesterday. What a pain in the arse the old exhaust was to get off, after smashing it with a hammer it finally came off.

Loving the sound of a proper exhaust

Today was time for standing mile, 3 runs and everything worked fine. Also I drove 513km in Cupra bucket seat. My ass and back is killing me!

Waxed again yesterday, some nice beading in the rain this evening

 

[lewischadwick7]

full service along with belt and pump which looked like it had never been done in 131k

Some say the intervals are 120k on timing belts, some say 60k lol

Today I set about tidying up the engine bay.

Before


After


I also silicone sealed the bottom of the engine cover so as I wouldnt have any water getting to the coils

What I thought would be a simple puncture repair on the weekend turned in to a pair of Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on the front! (Ouch!)

On the plus side it was a blessing in disguise, as they are SO much better than the Eagle F1 Asymetric 2s that they replaced. The grip difference is incredible. I've always had Eagle F1s since the GS-D3 days (8-9 years at a guess?) but I am definitely a convert to these new PS4s

Not today but last night I got some 20mm spacers to go on the rears. Will be moving my 15mm ones to the front. Might be too big on the front but we'll see

Got the car back today after new rear springs, and dampers, new front struts, top mounts and bearings.

Suffice to say it feels 'tighter'

1.9 tdi sport, Forte turbo cleaner and full tank of shell v power, no limp mode so far, fingers crossed....

A day later,
Emissions workshop message gone after a motorway run, result!

 

[lajohnz]

New discs n pads fitted !

 

[Euan1P]

today I fitted a new hpfp as mines had cracked at the sensor at the top and caused my managment light to come on

 

[Daniel M]

Fitted the 20mm spacers earlier and moved the 15mm ones to the front.

I think its perfect set up and doesn't stick out too far.

Front before



Front after



Cant tell much difference on the rear due to there only being 5mm difference.

Will get better pictures tomorrow from behind.
