its gonna be different to a beemer anyway mate.
dunno why but i have a hankering for a big engine BM one day(with indicators )

Get it tweaked and it should compete with 328's etc

Find out if the cambelt has been done, if not I would recommend doing it ASAP. That is a really good price though.

Its just had its 60k service, not sure whether a cam belt is included though?
glad to hear about the price!!

 

[WeeJase]

cambelt is a ridiculas 120,000 km(with checks from 60k) i did my vrs at less than 60k to be on the safe side.

Its been chipped and remapped a time or two but i think i may take a trip across the pond in the summer too this Revo crew, heard nothing but good about it!

If you do have to get the cambelt done budget around £250-300 to get it done, unless of course you do it yourself.

Also make sure you get the water pump changed at the same time for a metal impellor version instead on the original plastic impellor version as these eventually crumble and fail.

Sweet, any other tips for me?
What about this theory of a de-cat pipe causing internal engine damage??

As for tips, do some searches in the Mk3 area.

One tip for you though is don't ask any questions about fitting a loud dump valve as they have been asked before, do a search instead.

Hey mate no need to go across the water for Revo as triple 7 in cookstown is a revo dealer.
But not really not much point if it's already been mapped.

Funny enough I was speaking to a chap earlier and he mentioned the same thing, Lived in C`town for 2 yrs and was never near the place once!

The Cupra R sold in limited numbers, something like 200 produced of which only 75 came to the UK. I think they have a plate on the dash somewhere with the limited edition number on it.
