AndrewJB's daily MK1 Leon FR+ TDI

[AndrewJB]

I could TBH, will peel the plastidip off and have a look at their condition

 

[AndrewJB]

Car had a "decent" service history but checked the pollen filter and fuel filter the other day and they looked disgusting so time to take them all out!

Usually I go to TPS and get all the parts (just like my MK2's and MK3) but my local TPS is refusing to deal with customers again at the moment, so 60% off code was used at GSF.

Pollen filter lovely and clean

Oil filter

Air filter not super bad but out it comes anyway

old fuel fiter, forgot to take photo of new clean one

Used an unopened bottle of Quantum (from TPS) 5litre oil I had left over from when turbo blew on my old MK2 Golf TDI.

Really need to get the jacking point covers sorted.

Black sunstrip on

Unfortuantely the SEAT OEM FR+ badges are discontinued so had to go for aftermarket eBay ones!

 

[Seastormer]

Very nice, but now the repeater lights need new lens, to match the badges.

 

[AndrewJB]

Leh I'm not a dan of them tbh will swap them out at some point.

And they are on! forgot how fiddly they were, did them years ago on my MK4 Ibiza.

Think car needs cleaning out haha

 

[AndrewJB]

Found somebody locally breaking an LCR so got some goodies!

Hopefully going bake later for seat's, steering wheel and possibly headliner.

 

[AndrewJB]

More LCR parts

before

after

Hadn't got the spline to get steering wheel off.

 

[lightup]

yeah i had the same with the steering wheel. looking good man. wish the LCR was more common over here.

 

[AndrewJB]

So my exhaust started rattling/banging yesterday, Inspected it today and the old owner has bodged it, the exhaust hanger has snapped so they have welded a jubilee clip to it, that has now snapped off and also the exhaust rubber has snapped.

I have ordered the new rubber (it also comes with a clamp) for £7 now on the search for a decent FR or Cupra R backbox (eventually going to straight through it anyway)

4x new jacking point covers, have attempted to spray them myself, don't look too bad but ain't 100% happy with them.

Hopefully picking up 4x LCR black wheels tomorrow.
