what have you done to your car today ?

[AndrewJB]

Scumbags. Why did they not take the car there and then?

Should arm your butler with a baseball bat

Got the Leon keys not the Porsche keys, probably hoping I think I've misplaced them and won't change the door locks so they can come back later (house and garage keys on there as well)

The butler is me and I slept that night with knuckle duster at close range haha.

Definitely a leak somewhere mate. No not threaded just put it by a complete moron. Problem was pipe needed to be pulled down slightly and then the bolt went in nicely.

I took all the top pipework of yesterday mate, dry as a bone. Definitely coming from the bottom somewhere. I cleaned the area yesterday and I'll be out there later today to have a look underneath it to see where it's coming from. I think it's coming from the center "join" so to speak on the cold side of the turbo. Hot side, front of the block,sump all seemed fine but there was too much oil everywhere to say for sure.

New rear axle turned up. Going to fully seam weld it and then repaint it.
Waiting for the rear bush mod to turn up from America too.

Have a look threw eBay and find some silver spark plugs. The irridium ones arnt that good. Any thing that is a very good conductor is typicly softish material. Copper aluminium. silver etc. The harder it gets the less conductive it is.. so the irridium ones last 20k miles cos they are as hard material and not a brilliant conductor. Plugs that last a a lot less have a softer tip that wears when it sparks so it wears away

View attachment 8589 it's not hard to fit a radiator .. You just need to take a few bits off

That’s all you need to take off to get to the radiator don’t know if it’s different on a petrol than a diesel as mine is a diesel

i just got the rear plastic trims removed. nothing else. its tight but doable. did mine today,

and changed the fabia wiper to a polo one.

Had it back up, covered in oil again coming from the cold side of the turbo on the inside. Took the intake all off and it has shaft play in and out 2/3mm so she done. No movement up and down. Looking at a replacement turbo now. Maybe just the core, also dropped the oil out of it and replaced with some 60% off from euro 5-40 fs. Cheap enough at £17 for 5L

Roll cage going in. Having few problems with tubes bent wrong. Wrong lengths and notched wrong as well. But they are going to send out one of their technisions with some computer monitoring thing to calculate new tubes to suit.

Did a little test over the past few weeks. Filled the tank up with da good stuff, reset the counter....now sat at a quarter of a tank and 160 mile ticked over.

Not sure if anyone read but I have a funny issue with my car...maf plugged or unplugged it won't bring up the eml. Thought to myself....last owner covered it up...but no...the eml works. Unplugged maf brings no codes no lights.

Also with the traction control....the last Cupra I had when she went to spin up she would cut power pretty hard...this one doesn't....it's gentle and let's it spin but reduced power levels like it's trying to slow it Down but not so harsh. How does your tc work? Harsh or nicely nicely
