what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[przebiegly]

I went further than just replacing the reversing bulb from a regular w16w to a LED one.

I bought a lamp from the UK with a red fog light module (in my case, a European left-hand drive car and reverse is on the right) and soldered white diodes instead of red ones

now it is finally full led and looks like it was OEM

Does this mean that you don't have a rear red fog light?

I have. My fog light is originally on the left side and the reversing light is on the right side. I changed the lamp on the right side from the EU version to the UK so that it was with the LED fog module and it was in it that I changed the LEDs from red to white.
the fog stays where it was and works as it should

That's excellent, I might have to do that on my RHD car, thank you!

a much cheaper solution is to replace the bulb itself with LED but I wanted it my way

need 3x smd led > osram LW G6CP-EAFA-JKQL-1
to do this mod

Finally, hopefully, sorted out a 'knocking' noise from the back end....

I had the rear shocks replaced in September, as they had been 'weeping' most of the time I've had the car, and they'd finally given up. That seemed to sort it but then it came back.

Local VAG garage (not a dealer) had a good check of everything again and said it appeared to be only at low speeds going over bumps/pot holes etc and it appeared to be the boot lid and I should try lubricating the hinges/struts. Or they could spend a couple of hours doing it.

So, after lubricating and checking all the boot lid trim was secure, I drove to Milton Keynes and it appears to have sorted it. Wish I'd thought of it sooner, it was soooo annoying.

Jom strut brace check, but such a pain to install. Much more rigid the front end. Worth the money.

Yes, I already have LED reversing bulb, looks better with two like yours. Is your car FaceLift?

Very nice. Have you thought about upgrading the intake hoses too?

Thanks! I got the intake hose in the mail today, so I'll install that one as well. The chargepipe itself... not sure. There's no version without a blowoff valve, as far as I know, and I find those sound a bit too ricer

Nice! Hows the intake sound? Not too loud?

 

[Chillout]

It's noticeable, but not too loud. I'll make a recording as soon as the turbo inlet and silicone tube are connected too.

Got a Stage 1 ECU and TCU map (car already fitted with vagsport intake and resonator delete) along with VBT front discs, Racingline front pads and braided lines all round

Can I ask who you used for your Remap, and how have you found it. I’ve just recently got my Cupra 300 and wonder how it is in the dry and Warm as struggling in standard power for traction

Which tyres do you have? They make a huge difference.

The dealer put some Falken Azenzis FK520’s on before I picked it up. Found them decent tyres in the past but maybe not upto a car with more power

Not sure how good they are. I’ve got PS4s on mine at the moment. They got rid of a lot of the wheel hop. Plus, you have to know how hard/when to push the throttle. Took me a while!
