The stealthier cupra 4 of SCN - now for sale!

[poliq]

Real good updates although not a fan of the fly eye lights

Really wish I had a 4wd Leon. I think most do - it would have sold amazingly well in the uk.

Fly eyes might look better with a few more "stealth" bits added. Like darker rims, tinted windows etc.

Still not so sure about keeping it or not. Pretty low light output on the main beam, measured 13,2V and got Osram Nightbreaker Plus 55w. Still not very good. Was thinking of an extra relay loop as well, to boost the current up to ~14,6V.

..and I was thinking about getting yellow lamin-x
but we'll see.


As for the 4wd part, I think most of UK drivers dont need it, and dont care?

Remember UK is a very wet country and weather varies a lot. Certainly in the northern part of uk it is needed.

yeah I guess youre right, but up here we use 4wd on our daily drivers to go straigth up steep hills covered with ice!

very nice car you have there - I am very envious of your 4 wheel drive

 

[poliq]

Im glad to hear , MarkWales!

Would be glad if someone read and replied to the following bit:
As for the limpin' goes, Ive noticed that the last bit of piping from IC to the inlet manifold is somewhat loose. Also it might be a faulty temp sensor somewhere, as its a struggle to keep from limp mode once it reaches 90C. In addition, when its not in limp mode, it seems to delay the turbo spool up quite alot. Normal, it would have a good boost at 1800rpm, but lately id have to wait until 2500+rpm.

I know I shouldnt use it too much in its current state, but Ive been planning to go to a garage and read some codes. Just gotta do it.. Anyways, maybe someone has a clue?

 

[poliq]

Got some cash heading my way, and Im having trouble spending it all. Anyone got ideas for what to do next?

PS: Where do I get/what is the part number for the cupra+flag badge so many of you hae in the grille?

PPS: Is there a clean/debadged honey comb centre grille to be found?

 

[crisrik]

So fter removing the chrome list in the grille, I thought I'd try to tone down the shiny "S" as well. Never seen this done before, so I hope you guys like it!

It was a little off senter, and cracked from earlier..

But didnt come out as bad anyway!

what is that foil..??

So my mate read out some codes. Or one actually, dont know wich one, but he said it was about high turbo pressure.
Also, found that a leaking intake pipe were causing delayed turbo spool up.
Will try to get a new O-ring for the connection on the intake maifold, but I think thats theres more that causes it. Maybe the N75. Dont know wich one to choose though.. =/

 

[crisrik]

thx dude

 

[poliq]

Ordered this one yesterday, off to pick it up now!

Only had two criteria, SD-card reader, and red light! Also didnt hurt that it was a pioneer. Original Aura player has been getting worse lately. Seeing forward to get this one installed!!

 

[poliq]

went for a ~2h trip to sweden yesterday, when all of a sudden the steering wheel started to vibrate.. !
I guess its the joints on the front axles! What are they called?
it will be seeing the doctor around the 21st.
Also seeing forward to get it rubbed and polished, as well as tune in the new sound system!

 

[crisrik]

if the steern wheel wibrate at higher speeds, it possible mean that you need to visit a tyre shop.. tu balance the wheels, specially the front wheels

nope. no such thing. wheels (fairly) balanced, and even tyre pressure. Also, it comes and goes..

 

[crisrik]

then.. get well soon !
