Ive had an error message come up when VAG-coming my car (2005 Leon PD150 FR+) which has been diagnosed as the glow plug in cylinder 1 as faulty. Ive not even gone as far as removing my engine cover but dont mind having a go at changing these myself as long as it's no great job?
I didnt know...
I've been thinking recently that i need some extra power from my MK1 leon FR, i got a decent quote from AmD for my turbo to be hybrid, and a mufflerectomy so ill probably be going for these upgrades, all im asking is if any one else on the forum has gone down the same route and what performance...
After 2 hrs of searching, reading posts, getting ideas about alloy pipes and then finding out Allards went bust and Forge don't as yet do a suitable kit, and there are issues with the SFS kit, I am now more confused as to what to do then when I started...
My TIP popped off a few mths back...
Howwwdoooooo..
Whilst my DP was been fitted at Awesome GTI today they noticed my pancake pipe is FUBAR.
Basically the end nearest the intercooler has a snapped hinge, meaning the pipe could pop out at any moment.
Does anyone have a part number? and price?
Did SFS do a pancake pipe...
Does anybody other than Allard's do a metal pipe upgrade for the PD150?
I have a Leon FR+ PD150 with the SFS boost hoses and they have started to rub and wear holes through to the second layer.
I want to upgrade to the metal pipework, meant to be a worthwhile upgrade but Allards quoted me at...
Ive been reading alot of guys have got different intake manifolds on there TDI's.
After some dileberation, I think i'm going to go for a PD150 intake manifold, and I was wondering how hard of a job it is to do the conversion? Is it basicly a straight swap?
Does the standard pipework off from...
Hi,
Just done a quick check under the bonnet and noticed oil in the coolant. It was the normal pink colour two weeks ago :(
Anyone know what the rough cost is going to be.
Thanks.
Hi All,
Was thinking, where can you get a PD150 Turbo from to send to TD for Hybrid Treatment?
I've had a look on Google but can't seem to find any by typing in "PD150 Turbo".
Would it come under a different name like "Garrett ### " ?
If so, could someone please tell me the name of...
Hi,
As title says really. Does the PD130 share the same airbox / filter as the PD150? Skoda are only 10mins down the road and want to know if I can order a Fabia VRS filter for my FR+.
Cheers!
Reet,
As i've decieded to keep the Leon long term i'm going to start planning on more power.
This is going to take time, i'm going to do this in stages instead of throwing a big lump of cash at it.
So....i'm in need of some advice;
Stage 1 will be to buy a turbo (what turbo?)...
Hi, I won a PD150 turbo on ebay so decided to get Turbo Dynamics to do there thing on it and make it hybrid and get Sachs clutch and FMIC fitted. Will get Will at P-torque to do map and bits to car as he has is the man. Waiting to book car in at the moment but should be done by end of may...
Still enjoying my first week of owning the Cupra. But roughly how many miles do you guys get to the tank?
The book guide recons it should be kicking out 56mpg but I dont think its anywhere near that (I dont have a heavy right foot btw)
Also, does anyone else notice when the fuel gets to...
not a problem thread or anything, but as standard i am the only one who thinks that the sound of the pd150 engine is good when you give it high rev's say close to or over 4k?
i have a standard fr tdi and have noticed i quite like the sound when you get it to that stage, even my mate who has a...
Hi folks!
Seat want £115 inc vat for an oil change.
Is there a how to anywhere?
I've done oil changes in the past, but have heard a few horror stories about stripped thread on these sumps...
Am I best going to a specialist? (AMD are close to me...)
If I do end up doing it, will I...
PD130 and PD150 Leon Pancake pipe.
Does ANYONE know if these things are the same at either end? I don't care what goes on between them just that the entry and exit are in the same place.
Hi guys,
As I am aware most regular diesels burn oil but I was wondering whether the PD series engines were known for it as well ?
Reason I ask, I brought my PD150 Leon at 42k, it has now done 47k and the oil level (Tested from cold in the morning) has gone from being in the dotted area...
If anyone is bored and has VAG-COM on a PD 150 can you check something for me please.
Goto Engine, measureing blocks and open block 003.
Can you report your MAF requested and actual at idle?
Couple of pics of my build up, comments welcome:
August 2005 - R32 Brakes:
January 2007 - Sachs Race Engineering Clutch:
So with the clutch and brakes on, I began to think about a hybrid turbo conversion but not being in any rush, I started to research and collect some parts...
Has anyone fitted a PD150 FMIC on to an AHF or ALH?
Iv'e just got a used 2006 Golf FMIC off ebay for £20!! only thing wrong with it was one of the lower mount pegs had been snapped off!
I know I will have to make up custom pipework and brakets, that doesn't worry me. But it would be nice...
