im going to phone TPS and Porsche tmoz ... surprisingly Porsche parts are alot of the time cheaper

have you fitted resistors then?

 

[anarchy1515]

I did fit the ones that where on my ebay ones but still through up an error so im ordering some 50 ohm 50w resistors so that they work without getting too hot

I'm back at work on Tuesday so I can get Porsche prices if you want??

 

[anarchy1515]

There around 35 pounds on ebay from Germany just as a rough guide

Well if you are wanting some I could get you 2 at cost?

Went for a service @ Seat and found that the new turbo that was fitted in march is leaking again. Wether it's the turbo or clip/pipe lose will have to be decided. Taking car in tomorrow morning at local Seat where they fitted it to check it over.

Still need to decide if these will actually work with a FL car with cold diagnostics turned off

I cant turn that off on mine so wouldn't know but they draw 1w if thats enough, ive bought some new plugs so I can make my own add on resistor without cutting into existing wiring

you can if you have VCDS

 

[anarchy1515]

I looked but cant see anything for that and from what ive read it depends on the software version on the module

Tested new cleaning products, bilt hamber auto wheel as alternative to iron x

Decent result, same bad smell, twice as much product for 2 quid more than iron x

Emailed Seat on Saturday to complain about the rusty hubs on my car along with a little bubble in the paint work of one of the alloys. Someone rang today but I couldn't speak so they emailed the info.
Was told they were sorry and to take my car to a dealer and they would investigate.
I know it just needs a bit of paint but I feel I'm in the right and have heard people on here getting their hubs fizzed free of charge.

Pictures of what I emailed them about:

Hubs:

Alloys - Only have the odd bubble but still, shouldn't be there:

 

[AndrewJB]

Dude that bubble is caused by the kerbing, you have kerbed the wheel.. therefore broken the paint.. water then gets into it

Parts of the chassis might be a bit rusty as well, best get them changed while you're there
