Next job - replacing the plasticine PCV pipes with silicone in my old Cupra, now my mum's.

Replaced all mine with one of the cheap sets from ebay as genuine hoses super expensive. Thought i'd see how long it lasted, 3 years later and still no splits.

Well the car is booked in to go to brands hatch in June. Not running but just as display. But it's June 28th and 29th...... super touring power week end. With all the mental touring cars we all love the leon is going on display.... 👍👌
Grats man!! I wish it was closer for me, I'd have loved to seen it in the flesh. It will look awesome, a real show stopper. You'll do us mk1's proud for sure. Maybe Syphon could set you up with SCN backing.
👍🤠

Come on some people have to come and watch the touring cars. And poke about all these s3xy race cars that will be there

Only an hour and a bit from me, which makes a change from all these northerners having all the fun.

I keep forgetting to say thanks to whoever put me onto the Hydra DPB-100 diesel additive. Even with the first dose, the engine starts much more cleanly without the smoky exhaust. Engine still feels a bit 'choked' and I've got to rev it a bit when I start it up for it to rev freely, but it's not a daily, so it might take some time for that to work. Needs a service anyway, so will have to see if that makes a difference.

Was thinking about the garage saying my turbo might be on the way out when I took it for its MoT, but given the turbo in the Leon doesn't spool unless the engine is under load, I'm not sure that's actually the case. I'll make sure the oil feed is healthy and might finally clean the intake manifold when it's warmer. How many times have I said that in the past five years though and not done it? It's as bad as telling the missus I'm going to lose 10kg...
