@Big T I am running everything in first and due to job job change i'm not doing the mileage I was so not sure how long it is going to take.

The garage that did it and a bag specialist and Revo retailer and they brought in an engineer to inspect the full crank shaft

Thats good then

Nothing worst than hitting full boost in 3rd then seeing the oil light after having the work

Just sharing advice after my experience

@Legojon @Jimbobcook any recommendations on engine bay cleaners?

 

[Kenan]

Get some autosmart G101, you can use it a different concentrations for different jobs including the engine bay.

It's just an APC, others are available but it's one I'd reccomended if you can get it.

It's one of the things I still use Autoglym for... I use their engine / machine cleaner sprayed on and worked in. Then use a water spray bottle to rinse. Then a coat of vinyl n rubber to make it black n shiny.

Pretty much this for me as well

The autoglym stuff is good but very strong, depending on how bad it is I’d start with a citrus degreaser and if that doesn’t work then go on to something stronger, or that’s what I’d do.

Like @theoldboy's fairy liquid?

 

[Moody95]

It's not real bad but it's something I failed to do on the fr but as the cupra is going to be long-term I want to do it properly

Yes fairy liquid is the stuff you need but be warned you need to do this clean away from your house or you will end up with a black puddle of grease, oil and general grime on the driveway.

But really soft hands!
