what did you and your mk3 leon do today

@tracktoy Fit a new oil cap, you have some light oil seepage so it seems.

I will also do the turbo blanket somewhere this year, not that expensive. Was it a pita to fit?

 

[tracktoy]

Yes a big PITA to fit, if you check the youtube videos they all tell you what a pain it is and FUNK video show you fitting with the turbo off the car.

I have my first trackday booked for FEB so will check the various temps to see what difference it will make.

DAMMIT haha

Awesome, its always to good to check your mods with data. I usually do them and hope for the best

 

[tracktoy]

Well when you fit Mods you are always hoping for the best but I do like to check to see if it does what it says on the box (if possible).

Have to say OBD11 Live Data/Charts makes this an easy task to do whilst I am out on the track with my phone safely stored away

Finally got the Turbo Blanket fitted, next to get the downpipe wrapped.

Also had a new Lambda Sensor fitted as engine checklight using OBD11 gave me DTC P003600 02 Sensor Heater Contr. Circ (Bank1 (1) Sensor 2)

Finally I used the OBD11 Free Christmas Lights app which I guess would be fun at a car meet at Night but in essance just turns on various lights/indicators at different times, you have to run this app each time you want the light show but as its free currently thats not an issue.

Wouldn't you want to opt for a ceramic coating for the downpipe rather than a wrap?

 

[tracktoy]

Yes I would but for now that is just to much work (as I would want the exhaust sent off to profetional teams) and expense so go with the cheaper option.

However its on my wish list that maybe (if the car is still going) to get many parts coated.

Added a RGM RBP192 rear bumper protector. Previous owner left a big scrape sliding a bike out of the boot, was thinking of buffing it out but was very deep. So covered it up instead and even though the bumper protector was pricy (£75 from amazon uk) it’s a perfect fit and very tough. I feel it looks OEM too.

Also protects the bumper from myself with loading the baby’s buggy in the boot! (Please excuse the very dirty car! Will get a clean soon I promise haha) View attachment 46195

Nice motor , not that I'm biased......Have you thought of debadging, IMO looks so much nicer without that horrible oversized LEON badging! (Couldn't resist posting a pic of a clean one lol)

Agreed to the nice motor and also with the debadging one of the first things I did to mine back in the day.
