I purchased the filter from Awesome GTi.
Thanks for the info Phil
. I'm hoping that when I'm back from California, the TT wishbone bushes will be in at least.

*Update*
Well i'm back in the country briefly and lets just say..."WE'VE GOT A BLEEDER!". The LCR in my absence has turned on itself and broken things that I knew were on their way out anyway. I drove the car yesterday and the most awful creaking and knocking sound is coming from the N/S front, under closer inspection at my Dad's garage it seems that the N/S balljoint is completely dry and knackered causing the creaking, the N/S rear wishbone (front arm) bush has collapsed causing the knocking with both O/S parts close to the same condition albeit not making any noise yet. Also both front top mounts have died and when the wheel drops from the arch after jacking it up, makes a 'pop' noise as the shock drops a little. Everything at the rear (touch wood) seems fine but i'll replace the top mounts there when I lower it.
So Thursday it's in for two new front arms and top mounts, then off for some geometry = £££. I'm annoyed as this cash was set aside for a KW/Weitec suspension package which now has to pushed back to August and cat-back to September.
I guess all that sitting around it does has aloud the parts to essentially just sit there and rot. My fault I suppose.
Mother f*cker!

Sorry to hear mate, hope you get it sorted asap. I reckon this should give you an excuse to push the KW/Weitec schedule forward - even if that means a seventh mortgage Good luck with it.
Good luck with it.
Cheers Martin, one thing I will say is that it goes like sh*t off a shovel but the fuel guage drops fast. Well, I have been driving a V8 3 tonne SUV in the States for the last few weeks but with fuel at $3 a gallon, the mpg wasn't a concern there.
I'm trying to juggle a house, car, social life and a planned trip to Ibiza in August and it's making things very tight.

Juggle away my friend! It seems to be the only way to get anywhere in my experience. Keep up the good work anyway fella
sorry to hear but sounds like you are organised with your cash not just shoving it all on a credit card like some! You coming to RR day at Amd in August I am going on the rollers this time as car had map done on Sunday?
I'll lever load luxuries on credit so I guess it'll all get done when it gets done .
Yeah I'll be at AMD unless Ibiza falls on that date or working away in Modena, hopefully neither will. I wanted to get the cat-back on and hit the rollers but that looks unlikely right now. If you want to convoy Aimee, let me know.

Hopefully dude, wear an SCN shirt so I can identify you
Yea lol would probably get disowned by the mrs if i did that. unlucky about the car mate i had a few problems start when i left mine for only a week.
It's 15th August according to thread title, yeh convoy like last time from Clacket or wherever would be fun I want to get there really early to ensure I get on as high demand as normal and won't wanna hang about all day tbh.

Oh FFS! The bl00dy parts supplier has sent the wrong parts! What part of me saying "This is for the Cupra R, not Cupra. So the parts you'll be sending will be for the Cupra R yes?!" did they not understand. I swear to god that these people just send bits out willy nilly in the hope that they'll fit, either that or they're all thick! So I called them back and some sheepish sounding f*ck wit says "ohhh sorry, those parts are dealer only", so when I asked why they told me they could supply them in the first place, all I get was "I don't know" in the slowest sounding tone ever, the kind that says I have 4 or 5 brain cells left, oh no wait, the 5th one just died.
Sorry people, I needed to vent and after all, this is my thread
Hope you're having a better day than me!

And Tony, you're right although I have no idea why they saw fit to call the car colour, UFO Yellow
Now, just a quick update for all that are following. As you know from above, I needed some suspension work, this is all completed now and all parts were replaced for the more robust Audi TT/S3 parts. The car now feels fantastic and very well planted during acceleration and cornering, I would recommend doing this to anyone with wearing suspension components. I doubt that I'll have the car long enough for these bits to perish but if I do, I'll try the Superpro bushes next.
Also, some time ago I bought a 90degree elbow lambda sensor spacer for the race-cat. I have just got around to fitting this and would like to report that after about 60miles of driving, the car has accepted the emmissions and the EML light is now out.
Next up, suspension drop I hope if moving house leaves me a spare £400.

Hey JamJay, hope all is well? Is the Collinite wax still looking after the new paint?
Car is looking great as always. Sorry to hear of recent troubles. Good to hear that things are slowly getting back on track! If you do get coilovers, are you still looking to achieve a 50mm drop?
Cheers,
James
