Airbox lid smoothed, a popular mod with the leons, smoother airflow, you can see the smooth sides...

Then in with the new Green panel filter...

Do the bit's on the top aswell mate.
Also did you take the funnel bit out where the MAF goes in ???

 

[Craigus]

Yes matey i did, there were the two screws that hold the maf unit into the airbox lid, i cant see how i can get to the ridges on the top to remove them, any tips?

 

[Craigus]

I decided to go full on with the leon, but its gunna be a big project, i started on the N/S wheel and arch....

i used a mixture of meg's a.p.c, and a trim sealent,

During... You can see the dirt on the rear shell, a clean patch,

A few afters.....

Then the wheel needed a good clean,

After

Wheel back on..

Back down on the floor,

Gunna do each wheel then start on the underneath, then the engine bay, will keep you posted.

You need a dremil or a drill to get the bits out of the bottom.
On the LCR the funnel need's to be there, Dav3 tock his out and we think thats what killed his MAF.

Car's looking good by the way
