what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[Blowski]

Finally witnessed some dsg farts from my exhaust. They have eluded me up til now as I tend to drive around in my individual setup (all settings cupra except dcc, which is in comfort, owing to the pretty terrible roads we get around here). They seem to occur in both sport and cupra modes, the only discernible difference being the dcc settings from my individual setup; It may of course be a red herring.

I was wondering whether others have had similar experience with individual setup and the dsg noise?

I hear mine most when the gear changes around 4500 revs. They are still there when the gearbox is in sport but the engine revs are much higher so drown them out a bit.

My car lives in individual setting. Engine in Cupra, steering and dcc in comfort. Gearbox in D unless I fancy burning some fuel up... most days on the way home from work

Exact place I'm planning for stage 1 when funds allow. What map are you in for? Heard nothing but praise for Rick at unicorn!

Can't fault the guys and girls @unicorn. I've been for stage 1 and dsg tunes today. Car pulled 284 completely stock and now has 360. The dsg is lightening quick and doesn't hunt for 6th in D anymore. Car pulls very strongly now, and I can't begin to imagine what stage 2 and 3 are like! It decided to rain on way home so wot runs were severely limited. It was spinning in 3rd and 4th I think it's time I got new boots all round as I'm getting down to a couple of mm all round.

So I had a little bit of spare time on my hands today and I decided to have ago at trying to clean up the engine bay ready for the meet that’s happening on Saturday 13th October. Hats off to @Legojon&@Jimbobcook on how they get their bays so clean and shiny. I’ll need to get a few tips from you guys. @theoldboy I think you defo need to bring the fairy liquid along.ha ha. Looking forward to next week.

Feel free to bring some cleaning gear to the meet and you can do mine.

I’ll quite happily watch @Legojon @Jimbobcook and @Deanoj1971 cleaning my stock engine bay.

I’ll have mine cleaned too please, a 1.9 TDI stock lump is a beautiful thing

After much debate, just bought a cupra 280.

Couldn't belive the spec when I saw it.

Nice choice. I was a previous EP3 owner

Wish I'd gone with the ep3 instead of the fn2 tbh. Drove my friends and the 'box was like butter. Just couldn't find one that hadn't been trashed and still had aircon.

I was lucky to get one new in 2004 and my wife grabbed a fairly new one so no issues and a great drive

I fitted a set of Rimblades to the Ginger Ninja. Some people love them, some hate them, but if they help to prevent a couple of bits of kerb rash (and the subsequent £100 per wheel to refurbish) then I’m all for them!

£30 for enough to do all 4 wheels, complete with cleaning wipes and adhesion primer... I got them in Orange to (almost) match my car and also to highlight the rim.. If I’d gone for black it would have made the wheels look smaller...

I’ve had 3 EP3s one was a JDM. Never liked the look of the FN2.

Just had a new driver window switch fitted... What a pain in the arse they are to get too!

I need to do this as well.

My chrome bits have came off but the thought of paying £60 just for 4 chrome bits is putting me off.

Have a look on ali express, replacement switches are cheap there

I didn’t know if they’d be an exact match. I just literally need the chrome ends and I was planning to pull them off the new one and just put into my existing switch.

I'm looking at doing this too, do you have to remove the whole door card?

Also do you need new clips as I've heard they brake quite easily?
