Not been on a while and appears my account was de-activated so I'm back! I drive a 2005 MK2 Leon 2.0 TDi sport DSG. Currently working on sorting out its issues and hitting brick walls when it comes to ordering the correct parts as parts of my PR codes are missing for some reason and nothing on the NET seems to allow you to search by VIN! Had the car 5 years but was the wifes car but now its mine as she now has a Landrover and going to say bye bye to my BMW. Just got it back from having a new turbo fitted and silicon turbo pipes fitted, cam belt, water pump, gear box oil and new fly wheel. Next up is new suspension, wheels refurbed, drivers wing has a bit of rust starting, get some parking dents taken out, new rear calipers (main headache at the moment as this is the missing PR code!), stainless exhaust and drivers door solenoid needs doing. Oh and new stereo!
Mods already done are
Whiteline rear anti role bar, K&N panel filter, 18" black alloys, badgless grille and cupra body kit with BTCC spoiler.
Its not as quick as my 330D BMW but I know the Leon better and like the looks better so going to keep that!
I'll try and be more active this time around now the car is mine rather than just a car I work on!
Tried to add a pic but the site wont let me add a photo bucket pic till I've done 15 posts!

Morning everyone. Newbie here
Recently joined the FR 150 TDI club :) (well in the last 4 months anyway).
After having all the niggles sorted after buying my car from Skoda mainstealer (lucky I did) since have had common fan fault sorted, new turbo, doors re sealed, checked for boost leakes due to more smoke than normal.
Local garages recon it has probably been re mapped by previous owner (bonus if true).
Does any of you nice people have any Idea what speeds you should get out of 3rd (84mph) in mine and 4th (104 mph). Obviously done somewhere legal :)
Cheers for your help in advance.
EGR blanked, K+N filter (which Skoda put in the bin saying it was not standard until I saw it there and had a right go) Muppetts.
