My Black Magic Mk1 LEON Cupra TDI index in 1st post

[john_tdi]

I couldn't stand my poly even after 1000 miles it was horrid. I ended up puting a new oem one on and tbh it felt just as strong.

Be careful on the TDi as the vibrations on tick-over are really increased with the poly dog-bone. I hated it on my Leon and was going to switch it back to a new OEM one. If you can, have a sit in someone elses car before doing it as you might find it too intrusive. I did, but then I'm getting old these days!

i sat in marks car the other day to trial altho didnt go far it was noticable so im unsure yet

 

[john_tdi]

if you put a new oem one in, it will make a huge difference. I'd put money on it. Most people are swapping old dog bones to new poly ones and thinking its all down to the poly. When personally I think is half one and half the other. In the respect of the old one is funked!

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

worth looking at i suppose

i also came across ths performance onces which claim no extra vibration yet a bit stiffer

your luck i pay £1400 fully comp 21yr old 3 yr no claims with direct line lol

I'm 20 with no no claims, but no claims and i pay £1600 fully comp with admiral!
got my poly flex dogbone bush in now, and the only real difference ive noticed is that it shudders badly in reverse, like deafining loud!

I put a power flex dog bone bush for the diesel,I took it out,a week later,I sold it on eBay! I didn't like it

You still got the LEON?

 

[MarkWales]

I have fitted the Brake Caliper helper springs to the rear calipers and a Cupra R front Splitter

Caliper Springs have given the hand brake a more positive feel and the release the caliper more efficiently still think I may need a cable as the near side is not releasing as well and the offside.


The Splitter I have wanted since owning the car just never managed to get around to it such as simple job too.

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

will have to see in the flesh if i will get one for mine same here wanted one but cba to go buy one lol

howd you find out about them springs ? much difference / worth me doing

 

[MarkWales]
