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

[Andrewcupra TDI]

joshy my cars done 98 or 99 k now , when i first bought it at 50k it was slipping when i gave it a belting on the way home from the purchase but nearly 50k later its still there , slippage comes and goes

just dont plant it below 2k rpm as said marks is more aggressiveness acceleration wise


been saying it needs a drop 4 ages now ,

i erase all my threats from all online foruns but i can tell you anything you want

just ask

turbo upgrade with a couple of more stuff and soon you get 280BHP+

 

[MarkWales]

Can I ask why you erase everything?

 

[MarkWales]

drove it past 140,000 miles - still going strong - off to touch a large piece of wood now

 

[joshy514]

Mine hasn't done even half of that yet! hope mine goes as strong as yours has!

 

[TiagoFR]

Can I ask why you erase everything?

because i will ask in private message, have some trouble in portugal because almost lost my car, in this days carefull is my choice

but as i told i can talk to you about any thing you want.

turbo upgrade are easy to do and the car gain another life with a proper chip tuning and some other parts you may get more than 280bhp

ive heard rumours of cam trouble with these engines after 250bhp+?

 

[MarkWales]

these can have cam trouble standard

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

these can have cam trouble standard

using not PD oil is a major cause

ive heard rumours of cam trouble with these engines after 250bhp+?

the problem its not the CAM but the touche set that are under the cam, they are hidralic and sometimes 1 ou 2 die and kill the cam. its easy to see if the touche set are good or not just have to listen the engine, normally they make a distinct sound like something its hiting something.

my car rools with 262BHP with stock cam , 195K and 0 problems, i just bought a Dbilas Camshaft and will install it with a new set of touches. its better to change before they die

Do you mean like a clicking noise that increases with revs? Mine does this. I thought it may be my egr as someone said, but I've cleaned as much as I can without removing and no luck hope mine is ok!

Hey mark, just read your thread start to finish and it's been a good read. Just bought myself a black fr so looking for all the inspiration and knowledge I can find. Can I ask what Bluetooth diagnostics tool and app you are using please? Had a look on eBay and there's about 6 different types. Thanks and keep up the good work

 

[MarkWales]
