what have you done to your car today ?
- Thread starter seatcupramad23
- Start date
I believe so, had my local VAG garage give the pipes a look at this week and he noticed perished PCV pipes which ive replaced (Bonus: the chap himself has had 5 Cupras lol. ) figure if the TIP was knackered he would have flagged it, i might go have a quick ganders anyway.
Doesn’t seem particularly squishy but I did send an email to SFS last night for a price on a AUQ TIP
i had this oversized tip on my auq. i have the same on car now with a k04-hybrid. its nice and fatty.

installed some adjustable control arms in the rear today, doing alignment tomorrow morning. think its going to be a big difference.
Have been looking at creations but have seen split opinions on them, and SFS arent much more in cost! I did just speak to SFS and im debating whether to take the hour drive down there to collect one tomorrow hmmmmm
Well I fit my used door locks today once I removed them from a mk4 golf lol seen the guy who I was going to get some parts off today let me down and said not ready till midday tomorrow grr
I rang TPS to see if they where the same part number and they said no different but did the usual and had a look on eBay and found that they cross ref over so I removed them from the golf and fit them in the Leon and they fit and work
Also removed my rear top brake light just the drivers seat belt to do in the morning then pick up the parts if he has them ready

i dont think it really matter which one you take. they all should be similar price range i guess
Also check where it actually fits on the turbo, mine had split almost all the way round.
But the 51mm doesn't fit on the standard k03s or? Only for hybrid turbos

the ko3s Tip did fit my k04-023 hybrid with some streching. ^^ i sold my badger tip again. since that gave more trouble to fit the puck and go in between the brake booster
I definitely took some short cuts ie not removing the wiring from regulator panel and just twisting it out the way. Also didnt remove the electric motor or quarter light glass or rubbers like the youtube videos recommend. Partly because I'm lazy but also most the plastics crack and break from experience and whilst less room to manoeuvre there is enough but does help with a spare pair of hands

Picked up one of these bad boys from SFS and dropped the car off at the garage to get it fitted. Feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas, picking it up tomorrow!
Thanks for this - I can remember how much of a pain it was getting the plug in when the garage I used originally didn't put one in and I'd prefer not to have to do that again.
After thinking my door was going to be first to need sorting, got back from a bike ride to find I couldn't open the boot. No issues in ten years of owning it and all of a sudden it just doesn't work. I like to have a little warning...
Looking through the forum, it sounds like this is easy enough to sort - just that these things always happen when I've got a load of other things to sort first.
, why take them then?
Never turn down free car parts!
