What did you and your MK2 do today?

[wilksy]

[lajohnz]

done this to mine

Vw battery box would finish that off nicely

First post on here

Won a 3" cobra catback exhaust off eBay, hopefully get it next week and have fun annoying the neighbours

Does the carbon effect tape have less flex in it than cheaper black version ?

Doesnt look too bad really, but see what you mean about it could be darker.

 

[Dan FR]

No less flex, it's just a coating over the rubber - nothing more. Should last longer than the plain rubber one as that started to show it's age quite quickly (surface cracking etc.)

Just ordered new front and rear dampers, front top mounts and bearings from Dave at Sere.

Now I have decent tyres on (F1 asim 3) it's shown bagginess elsewhere. I already knew the rears were weeping, for how long I don't know and the top mounts and bearing rattle bad over high frequency surfaces.

Looking forward to soothing things out. I guess at 136k it was probably ready regardless.............

Who knows once the chassis is sorted a remap.............? Just a little paranoid about messing with the PD170 motor

I uninstalled old Revo Intake kit and fitted brand new vw racing kit and did a oil change. It feels so weird after driving 2 years with massive induction sound and now there is only minimal sound.
Revo intake filter cracked and dropped in engine bay, not so good quality
And it seems to be that after driving over 60km's with volkswagen racing intake, performance is not so good or maybe it is just a feeling.... Time for dyno run! Hope to break 400HP

Went to fit a Scorpion Cat back system to only that nothing in the box would let the 70mm bore of the stainless system connect to the 60mm of the OEM pipe. Not a happy bunny has had to run around trying to find some temp clamps to refit the stock exhaust back on.

I'm tempted to go for ball joints and AR bar bushes whilst I'm at it. Is it worth upgrading the front wishbone bushes if I do them too?

[spookylittledan]

[Cupradann]

Fitting my 3" cobra catback yesterday. What a pain in the arse the old exhaust was to get off, after smashing it with a hammer it finally came off.

Loving the sound of a proper exhaust

Today was time for standing mile, 3 runs and everything worked fine. Also I drove 513km in Cupra bucket seat. My ass and back is killing me!

 

[richicupra]

Waxed again yesterday, some nice beading in the rain this evening

 

[lewischadwick7]

full service along with belt and pump which looked like it had never been done in 131k

 

[Daniel M]

Some say the intervals are 120k on timing belts, some say 60k lol

 

[Euan1P]

Today I set about tidying up the engine bay.

Before


After


I also silicone sealed the bottom of the engine cover so as I wouldnt have any water getting to the coils
