Not today but yesterday, detailed it and took off the headlight tints and plasti-dip off the badges.

They were looking a little worse for wear but, this might be the start of putting it back to standard.

Hi guys I'm new to this site. I've google everything and can't find a guide.
Can anyone help Guide me through the installation process from a standard MP3 stereo to either a rcd 315, rcd 510 or a rns 510 in my seat altea.
Would be looking at buying which ever unit is easiest to install.
Thanks in advance.

Stuff it I bought a SH rns 510 from a skoda. So just need to know where I can get a facia from as my original won't fit?
Quick search online and the cheapest I can get is £39.99

Went to check up on my car today

Engine has been removed and awaits getting stripped so i can have the crank reground with new mains and big end bearings , oil pump reconditioned with a tougher/long shaft so it does not shear off and also have my forged rods installed

Looking at coming back to VAG, but with a VRS

Had the block stripped so it can get rehoned or bores depending on condition

I hope so, I've already had the cam chain and tensioner done within the last 12 months, but lately having intermittent idle issues/low power and this morning threw an engine light.

To do with timing?

Yup, had it checked and the timing pulley wasn't doing anything and was stuck at something like -27 degrees. Sounded like a BTCC car cycling on idle.
Replaced the chain as a precaution in case it had been stretched by the non-adjusting pulley.

The code I got from Carista was "P0016 CMP Sensor (G40)/Engine Speed Sensor (G28) Bank 1, incorrect correlation"

Did you replace the pulley and tensioner aswell?

And has that solved the issue?

Replaced pulley and chain, the tensioner was checked and was fine (not long been replaced). Issue seems to be solved, will see how it goes!

The bonnet paint had gone horrible after a poor respray in the past (before I had the car) and also had a nasty dent above the grill after a football hit it. So got the dent sorted and thankfully my dad for sorted the paint, done a great job, so dead pleased.

Also someone punched the rear quarter panel outside of a pub, which is now sorted and I’ll polish the panel with the DA over Christmas when I’m off work.
