[lawrieIbizaMk4]

So I was wondering why my rear suspension was so knocky since I got it back..had a quick look after work today and the mechanic had left the rear springs unseated lol! Coilovers greased and threads cleaned while I was there

Have you had the rear bumper painted?

Looks very flat above the o/s foglight.

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Yeah the rear bumper was resprayed before I bought it, they did a crap job of it! Whole front end could do with a spray as well, stone chips galore!

You could try and wet sand the dullness out the bumper then polish it back up to a shine. Depends on whether or not you plan on getting it sprayed or not - if you defo are, it's worth a shot

Megs 105, chemical guys scratch and swirl be gone, farecla g10 then poor boys black hole with the DA then I've just finished putting on some AG hd wax

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

That's her all finished after just short of 11 hours lol! The difference is unreal can't see a swirl mark on it I'll pop some pics up tomorrow, heading out for some pics with a couple of mates tonight

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Had the car put a drive tonight. And it's gubbed again!! No torque what so ever, still boosting to full pressure but its just gutless. I don't know what to try next wether the timings out following the cam change or if the turbos dying. Kind of feeling like selling up now tbh

I can't remember if your car is diesel or petrol but if it's diesel it could be the mass air flow meter but not 100% sure, just a guess really. Or as you say, it could be the timing.

Take it back to the guys who fixed it, perhaps they've not done the job right. I'd also be tempted to take the map off too if you've thought it's not quite right - it could be doing more harm than good.

A fair point! I'll try unplugging it today and see how it reacts
