What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Daniel M]

It's strange how it only hesitates in 3rd and i think you said it did the same before the remap. Don't think the DPF is on its way out but could be wrong

Yeah it is weird but it has no fault codes or dpf light. Might just be over fuelling slightly or something. John said he'd do the dpf delete etc for £200 if I wanted it.

Wasn't today but yesterday I detailed the interior and also gave the engine bay a once over.

Was going to ask you to do my car today but forgot.

Need to get a new power washer as it broke last week. What do you want doing

Can anyone help me out? I have discovered my front passenger foot well is wet so am trying to get the door card off. I have seen the guide on here but it is for the mk1. The thing that is stopping me at the moment is a white piece of plastic on connected to the door panel and door locking mechanism. Anyone got any ideas how to take this off or an actual guide for the mk2 07 plate

Is this guide thread not any use in the FAQ's?

1st post there is 2 links to instructions on how to remove the door cards

 

[STU3Y]

The links in that guide for front door card removal show a blue circled part and the author mentions having to unclip it, however that's what I am struggling with. It deems like it will break

 

[STU3Y]

Just read the guide sounds like I have to snap it to get the card off without removal the door lock itself unless anyone knows different

Well, decided to put the car on the rolling road today and see what was what?!

The guy i bought the car from said he had the car remapped, he showed me a receipt in the service history for the map at a cost of £450! Should be a pretty good map at that price!

On the rolloing road it went!

Not bad at all but that remap, didn't exist?! The car hadn't been remapped at all?! I did find a cheap tuning box on it (probably from Ebay) which i removed the second i noticed it!

The poor guy had been charged £450 for a cheap tuning box by the company that had claimed to have remapped it!

Anyway, the car performed really well for a standard car, standard spec is 168bhp and 258lb ft of torque.

Mine, 178.5bhp and 310lb ft of torque, was happy with 10bhp over standard and a smooth power delivery on the graph -

The car is booked in for a remap tomorrow so lets see what it brings?!

I did the stage 1 from revo, cost me about $1000 dollars. (SPS cost $190)I do feel more power but, it doesnt feel like the 50 hp gain that their advertising lol.
I dont know maybe my expectations were too high.
My car is a 08 FR 2.0TFSI.
Im about to sell the car, I've lost all interest.
Might buy a rear wheel drive car, wanna start drifting

The outside is priority, clayed, machine polished. Need to get some scratches out. Was thinking of doing it next weekend after the boro match? I can borrow a power washer off Ben next door.

Coming home tonight from work & I had to use a road that was being resurfaced.

Got home to find all the drivers door, rear passenger door, drivers wing mirror & drivers side front wing wheel arch splattered with tar. Looks a f@cking mess

Looks like I'll be spending hours with the tar remover

Mine had a ton of tar on it in the past, used a decent tar remover and it came off surprisingly easily

 

[AndyG_TSi]

Have got some Autoglym tar remover......im already twitching to clean it off....my OCD is kicking in as I know it looks a mess haha.

Weekend looks like a full detail is in order, de tar & get the DA out to give it a cut & polish.

Had the car given a quick once over by Rich-FR. Gearbox mount needed and clutch spring. Better than I thought and thanks again to Rich top bloke who knows his stuff

if its fresh tar mate use white sprit pulls its off easy and doesn't damage your paint then a good wax after

Had the Car now 3 years more or less and got Service and MOT today .MOT all passed thank goodness ( EXLCUDING TYRES THAT I have had put on in that time ) so well chuffed tbh

Even got a new battery put in my key and got Mot on offer all in for £28.84 including the battery .
It took me a while to get used to the R from a Clio and a few Renaults/Fords etc but it's been a great Car ..touch wood, and especially with the bits added on

Apart from the usual silly things like mirrors folding in at odd times, and rear o/s windows staying down one day it's been a reliable car and never let me down .It's run like a dream and never misfired or sod all . Hardly uses any Oil and all I do is check it, and top up water windscreen levels /additives.

Well done Seat .. I've also had 3 years free servicing which has helped.

And thanks to all the nice People on here who have helped me (Personally) out at various times with all sorts of stuff And of course everyone on the threads/ Posts .

Autoglym intensive tar and adhesive remover my friend

Spray on. Leave for a couple of minutes. Rub off with cloth. Simples.

Used it for years.

Yeah, I'd rather use a product tailored to remove tar than use white spirit on my paint. I love iron x also.
