Loving the lights rob, how much they set u back?

Thanks guys...still loads to do but coming along. Will do a write up/guide once all done.

Thanks everyone! It took over a month and 3 different dealers to diagnose and replace a leaking injector.

At least it's all sorted now

What was the outcome Jarre, how did they fix it

They actually look the ****ing bollocks.

I'd prefer just give you the money to do them though

it took a month to diagnose injector leak? surely their diagnostic equipment would have showed up a pressure loss, a fueling loss oh and a smell of fuel they should have noticed?

Replaced injector 4

You'd have thought so, but I think the fault codes just showed misfire in cylinder 4. But yeah, the smell of fuel couldn't be missed in the engine bay.

I can't complain at Jennings, they took the car in Wednesday, diagnosed it and rang my dad within a few hours, ordered the part and said it would be in Friday, then got a call by 12 Friday to say it was ready to collect! Excellent service from them. Credit where it's due...

Did warranty foot the bill

Jarre do you know if they checked the operation if the catalyst after the repair?
Doesn't do a catalyst any good all that unburnt fuel being thrown in.

Yeah of course they did! There was no way they could have found a way to not pay. An aftermarket stereo does not affect a leaking injector haha!

I'm not sure on that one tbh, we just went in and they said here's the key, cars outside. Didn't sign anything to say about the work done etc. might be worth asking for the job sheet?

 

[marty_34]

As it should be. The stereo was clutching at straws by stealer. Bunch of muppets! Loads of people change headunits

I've just removed my p-flo air filter. I've usually got my 7 month old son in the car and obviously drive sensibly cause of this. The noise was just getting too intrusive. I'll have to put it on a well known auction site. It's only been used for a thousand miles or so. ;-)

 

[marty_34]

Went into stealers, new mirror and motor ordered under warranty, no fuss or messing around. Positive experience for a change. Car washed hoovered, mats cleaned and brought round for me to drive away home. 1 car less to wash

Possibly looking for one of these... Will it fit a pre-fl FR though?? I think you have a Cupra.

Good to hear

My car has also now been lowered onto sport lines. The springs have been in the house for a month while the car wasn't being used. It looks great, and will look even better when the 17's are back on

 

[marty_34]

Will corner like on rails!

Glad they spruced mine up as really cant be arsed to wash it
