I've been looking at having the wheel alignment checked, as I think it's slightly off (when the steering wheel is straight, the car goes slightly left).

I am possibly taking my car into the dealer to have something looked at under warranty, would this be something the main dealer can do for me?

I'm not massively up on wheel alignment, and this may sound stupid, but:
A) are all of your tyres at the same pressure? and
B) is this consistent on all roads? (i.e. you've not been driving on a road with a bit a camber, have you?)

If yes to both, then you'll lose nothing by trying to blag a main dealer into it...but I'm not sure they will do. Worth a pop!

today i needed to sort a few more thigns out on my car. first up investigate the banging exhaust. car jakced up and this removed.

ordered a new one from Blueflame

to go with my all black look i am after i made a start on the grill. decided i would try shaddow chroming (ghost chroming in USA) basically using TINT spray to darken the chrome up.

then did the rear

 

[Adam's Cupra]

Has that broken from movement?

 

[Smee]

no idea. lol shouldnt of as i have the powerflex insert in but it was getting a hammering last sunday and it went soon after along with the clutch lol

might need to get some uprated mounts if i decide to keep it

[LC_15]

Ahh Smee how you do that.

And ouch clutch too?

I just Got My Revo changed to APR stage 1 and its worlds apart.

 

[Smee]

lee

 

[LC_15]

Cleaned the air filter and housing etc and tried to ascertain, by searching the forums, whether my engine sound was normal for these particularly noisy 2.0T FSI engines!?

http://gfxcore.net/cars/LeonFR/Video0013.3gp (May need VLC player or alternative to play)

Video clip is above but just recorded with crappy phone so not greatest quality, around about 0:05 seconds and 0:31 seconds is the noise that sounds a bit like metal tapping on metal... the injector tick etc does not bother me!

If anybody could give their input that'd be great

 

[Fishy]

Today we took a little drive down to Lepsons so that the wheels could get a nice new touch of war paint.

Took a test drive in my new Lcr. Loved every minute of it. Pick it up 8.30am. Saturday morning

Mine sounds the same. It is a noisy beast and I do sometimes wonder how much of it is "normal"

I now also have crickets in my aircon it seems...
