What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Magicsky]

Bit late, as it happened yesterday....but my wife had to quickly get out of the way of a car who thought they owned the entire road...and hit the curb full on and curved an alloy massively

It's not damaged the integrity of the alloy, but it does have a very hefty scuff about 3 inches long

She said the car made squeaky noises on that side every time we hit a bump. I can't hear it.

Gotta get it in the axel stands and see if any damage was done as they side feels a hit harsh on bumps and potholes now

Oh dear lets hope it's not to bad.

 

[shnazzle]

Hopefully not. Don't want to have to make an insurance claim as if it is knacked (drop link, etc) then I can't afford to fix at the moment

Did first part of my 90 000 km overhaul. Car is Leon 2.0 Tfsi FR petrol 2009
Changed the internal air filter and motor filter. Also the sparkplugs even the originals are due atr 120 000km but did it anyway because im going in for a remap soon.
Heres a picture about the spark plugs. I think the color is off a bit. usually they supposed to be more brown (coffee) color when they are worn nicely. Is my engine running too lean?
heres a pic.

How much Shark charging for remap if you take car with delete pipe already on? I know its £669 for the full job.,

 

[Benzy]

They still charge 699 even if u take a pipe with u unfortunately. I just spoke to them and have decided there's no point me fitting it haha, I'm just gonna take it to them to do

That sounds ridiculous to me.
Fitting it is still an hours labour...at least.

You're paying for a service they're not giving.

Aside from the fact that for 699 I would expect the feckin pipe to be included in the price!!

 

[Benzy]

Ye for 699 they take ur dpf off and gut it. Supplying the pipe is on top of that. I would have thought the gutting of it would have takes an hour or so, so would imagine they would knock 50 quid or so off the price.

What?!?!
So what's the point of the pipe if they're gutting your DPF?

I think I'm missing something here

So you can put the car back to standard if you want, he isn't getting his dpf gutted

But he is paying for the DPF to be gutted...as that's part of the 699.

Not smooth as he went to a musium, not a museum.
