Where's the battery box from mate, i like that

I could be wrong but I think you have to go to Volkswagen directly. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

Fitted the LED number plate lamps the other day they look much better than any previous LED bulb upgrade.





Finally got round to fitting the R-Tech complete pcv delete kit

Had a nightmare getting the front breather hose off the block due to poor access.

Thanks to Mattylad and Alexk1 for the tips/Help it's much appreciated

This pic is of the front breather that is beneath the inlet manifold



As this clip is used for the delete kit I had to be careful not to break it so that didn't help lol

Finally managed to get it off though and replaced with the front hose that vents to atmosphere.



Then it was time to remove the rear breather pipe that comes off the rocker cover and feeds to the turbo.

In these two pics you can see the blanking plate fitted to the turbo and the rear breather that also vents to atmosphere.






Lol you can see the rattle can lid covering the turbo so I didn't knock any foreign object into it as that would have been a nightmare.

These two pics you can compare the old setup with the new.





Those with a keen eye will also spot the R8 oil filler cap fitted that I got.

After the removal of the stock pcv you can see it needs cleaning where access was restricted before so will do that this weekend.Also will hopefully remove the oil filler neck.

Cheers

Craig

Just looks beautiful man and keeps on getting more and more beautiful!

It's going to be unreal when she's stage 2+!

What's been the hardest or most awkward/difficult mod you've done yourself so far?

Fitting that pcv delete was a pain in the arse as its so restrictive on space!

Once that front breather pipe was off and replaced it was a piece of cake. Thought fitting the rear pipe and blanking plate on the turbo was going to be hard but again was easy to be fair.

So far all good no smoke on idle or any vapour smells in cabin so happy days. Should help with having a cleaner system/turbo as all the crap isn't going to be sent through.

Bit of an update on the Cupra.

Finally got the oil filler neck off and think it looks much better now.





Also purchased my new injector seals ready for them to be serviced when the inlet manifold is off.



Managed to get myself a mint condition facelift climate control unit.



So fitted that this morning and I'm very happy with it looks much better than the pfl setup










It all works as it should with no issues at all

Next on the list is an RNS-510 then once I have that I'll spray all the fascia's in satin black and it will finish the look I've pictured in my head lol

Then for good measure gave the dirty mare another bath



As always cheers for looking and comments welcome : )

Thank you Josh the R8 cap was from creation motorsports and it's a genuine one that's modded to suit these rocker covers. Lots sell them and would be a direct fit.However for it to sit properly ie parallel it has to be modded otherwise it will air vertical if you know what I mean.

Thanks mate yes been wanting to do it for a long time as I hate the pfl control panel and having had mk2's for the last six years it was time to change lol

 

[Never2old]

Where did you get the led number plate lamps from and by of chance would you know if they would be ok for a 12 plate leon cheers for the help

It was off eBay mate just had a look and it says they only fit up to a 2010

If you search mk2 Leon number plate lamps you should be able find ones that fit

 

[kevscupra]

Lovely car mate, very carefully looked after and maintained, full of tastefull mods.

I see you've good new injector seals, is it recommended to change the seals when the manifold is off or just good practice? Just I've got APR rfd and Rs4 fprv waiting for fitting and while the manifold is off I'm going to get the valves cleaned.

Cheers Kev much appreciated buddy

Mainly good practice I'd say mate although sometimes the injectors will stay in when the manifold is pulled,yet others are less lucky and they will all come out!

It's a bit of a lottery to be honest.Having my valves cleaned and rfd fitted myself so at the same time getting the injectors serviced so hence the seals as its recommended to replace them if the injectors have been taken out.

Plus I thought whilst it's in bits it's an ideal opportunity to have them done

 

[kevscupra]

Ok cheers, can you just get the injector seals from tps? Do you have a part number? I'm going to get some and change them if needed when my manifold is off.

No worries mate, yes this is the part number dude and its called Injector repair kit or something along those lines.

06d 998 907A

Got mine from local dealership for £48 they matched tps price for me.

Just double check that this is the part number for your injectors 06F 906 036F

It should be and if so the seals part number is the right one

 

[kevscupra]

Thanks for the part numbers mate I'll check the injector number and get the seals order.
