New map sensor fitted. Went bosch as i found one on Euro and with their discount 26 quid.
Was a different code to mine though, 0261230266
Still seems to be a 2.5 bar sensor and the car runs just as normal with it fitted. Will have to see if it cures my daily limp mode.
Edit: I spam this thread too much lol

Shim mod? I dont know of this shim mod...what is itMe again. Did the 02M shim mod, what a big difference a little shim can make. Well recommended, my bearing had loads of play in it too.

Essentially it’s a thin shim that goes behind a snap ring, and it stops this axial bearing from moving around. From what I gathered it became a factory feature eventually.
It stops whine on decel, knocking and kick back after gear change, and crunching which I didn’t have. But my bad whine has gone 95% and gear change is now muchhhhh smoother.

I’ve not used mine since sat morning as I’m back at work. I’ll hopefully get up sat morning wash it and take it out for a joyride. I’m getting bored of the stage1 and ram air intake now need to save up and get a turbo back. Really want a k1 miltek but don’t know if I can be bothered trying to find a diffuser as I’m REALL impatient when it comes to cars lol
My, there’s been some busy folk on here. I’ve not been on for a few weeks I’ve been so busy so caught up with everyone’s antics today.
Some serious jobs goin on!
Most I’ve done is order a tailor made car cover for my Leon. ( it’s not even been washed for a few weeks)
Been building a new radio controlled car though in the few hours I’ve had to myself.
I’ll stick a photo on the forum when it’s done. Lol

Been messing about with the front brake set up... didn't realise how big the discs where
This should stop the car when done.... I hope

You will need your harness on to keep you inside the car when breaking hard lol

Round 3 with the FMIC. I wanted to fit the fogs whilst changing over the couplers.
So after fiddling with this widely acknowledged ill fitting kit, i have to say the only real issue that the pipe on the drivers side hooks over too much, causing that side to get pulled upwards. The only way around it is to cut the hard pipe so its less hooked or what i have done and move it as far away from the IC as possible, going under and around the side the fog.(note the longgg hose lol)
Also theres a million threads asking about how to do it keeping your fogs. Its pretty simple; on the cupra bumper, with the supplied pipes it must go below the fogs.

Ha ha, at least it didn't fall off and you still had it.... coz then you'd have to refit itThe worst of the worst happened, unthinkable, unimaginable disaster...
I LOST A JACKING POINT COVER
New Forge TIP. Have to say, sounds great, a little more of turbo noise. Seems to pick up a little better too
Still chasing the 17705/P1297 gremlin after changing my map sensor.
Just replaced my old N75f with a updated Febi bilstein version of the 06A 906 283 E. (40 quid worth a punt instead of 80 from the stealers)
First drive and it didnt peak to 12psi like it usually does, and it was sometimes boosting 9psi instead of holding 10psi. It definitely feels less torquey than the old one, but at the same time the delivery was much less rough feeling and it pushed better at around 70mph.
Im going to give it a few drives to let the ecu adjust and see how it performs. Also changed my actuator hose for some vacuum stuff.

Changed the exhaust gas temp sensor because it was throwing a code when the reader plugged the reader in, although didn't activate the engine light. Was also using craploads of fuel because it was running rich. Bought a second hand one for £85 (£280 new at the dealers) and works fine. Was pretty easy to change, just slightly finickity unscrewing the probe from the turbo by feel alone.
