@grabania nice work on the upgrades/updates!
I swapped a camshaft position sensor as part of preventative maintenance. Easy to swap out in a matter of minutes. More pics in RR as usual: https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/nd-photo-nl-s-seat-leon-st-cupra-280.477591/post-5076931

Because, why would you settle with what you have when you can buy new stuff you probably dont need 
Like a big purple filter

Oil change and new Mintex front pads fitted, out for a track day soon to test them under pressure.
Does anybody know the part number of the tool to hold the crankshaft pulley in place whilst replacing the pulley with a Fluidamper one.

@tracktoy I did a similar upgrade on my Mini Cooper S, where I replaced the OE with an ATI Super Damper. Funny thing is, after replacing, the Mini felt slower. But then I looked at the speedo and I was wrong. It felt slower because it smoothed out the ride a lot. Power delivery became buttery smooth and even more lineair (its a 1.6L 4 cilinder supercharged powerplant), I wasnt expecting that.
Thats how I loosened & tightened the crank bolt haha

In spite of my car still being MIA, I have been collecting parts ready for it's return...
The latest arrival are some aero parts for under the car...

Hi mate was 210 delivered which came next day which I know is more than maxton however it fits like a dream mate and has all fittings with instructions which the maxton stuff doesn't . The quality is incredible as well mate definitely get it done. I would have probably had to go to maxton to have any stuff fitted from them so if you take into account this the rieger is much better in value
Another great day at Cadwell, testing out the Mintex F4R Pads and very happy with the first performance they lived up to the billing much better than the Ferodo DS2500 (Which are great road and occasional track pads in my view) just got to see if they live up to the length of the old Mintex M1166 Pads (which they no longer make)
Upgrade of the year, the black rubber cap for the wiper fluid

She's BACK!!!!
Car drives GREAT.... However, there are some small issues which are not engine related, easily resolved and I've notified the dealership about.

With the car being back, I have a stack of parts to fit/upgrade etc and decided to start with the facelift tail lights!
I wanted to wire them to the BCM so they are codable but I'd need to swap the BCM for a facelift BCM and that is a different project and a beast all of it's own lol! So I opted to tap the wiring and run it from the outer lights to the inners but still prepping for the future BCM wiring so I pinned the junction point correctly.
The end result is a vast improvement on the pre-facelift LED lights!

No fault codes so all good but I've not recoded the Leuchte channels yet for the additional LEDs so if that flags up a fault then I'll keep the original coding as long as the function and brightness is correct
Coded the BCM for the LED fog light and to tell it the indicators are now LEDs and no fault codes, winner.
