What did you and your MK2 do today?

[SpiderWelsh]

Got a speeding letter for doing 41 in a 30 on Saturday.

In my defense, it was a 40 a year ago, thought I was being good only doing 41.

Gave Betty a clean, was happy with how she turned out considering I've only used soapy water, rinse and dried. (waxed her a few weeks back with Simoniz wax).

I assume the red on your car hasn't faded?

The red has faded, just hard to notice when it's polished and waxed. The bumper doesn't match the shade of the car due to fading.

Looks great

My red car has faded on several panels and looks a different colour from the front to back

Cheers.

Have you tried some meguires ultimate compound? It's pretty good for restoring paint.

Fitted a ramair oversized intake kit, to do away with the broken engine cover.

Car now sounds like a hot hatch should do.

On a run of four night shifts now so as soon as Friday comes along, I will degrease the engine bay and tidy it up abit now that you can actually see the engine.

Fitted a set of trusty team heko wind deflectors as the leon is the worst car I have owned for getting your arm soaked when driving with the window down when it's raining.

Changed my recirc valve to be surprised to find my car had an 8 year old Revision D. Put a revision G on instead as its the better of the two types.

Im sure its not meant to but the old recirc came apart when lifting it out.

What are the symptoms for a faulty one?

I had a hissing sound under acceleration and all my boost came in one big dollop and went as quickly as it arrived.

Does it then also give a error code?

Yes it can do if its particularly bad, mine didn't and many others don't have codes. It's only when you change it you realise that the old one was faulty.

For the cost of the part and the simplicity of changing it, if you have no records of when it was last changed it makes since to just change it.

Those are the pedals in my R so I assume they borrowed the parts from the VW line? I have a metal R logo footrest on the left not sure if that's stock or not. I can recommend one as it completes the set just nicely.

Standard mk5 r32 and golf gti pedals. I am slowly adding as many VW golf parts to the interior as I can, as the quality of the seat interior is the one aspect of the car I cant quite get used to.

My last three cars were Mazda, saab and Mercedes so going to the seat interior feels a little like a downgrade.

I don't have that, so must be modded.
