My Mk1 Leon FR TDI 'Lola'

[Matt.]

Nice one mate. I can't get my cabin filter cover to fit properly after changing the filter

If ditch it and order a new one for 20 quid odd from tps there bigger and went in a treat! Just about the rain in the mean time , also just had one of my hids go down so that's great aha :facepalm:

With regards to the hids, don't you need to add a inline resistor or something to get them to work properly? I'll see if the tps part is any different to mine but mine is fairly large anyway

No I just used a lot plug and play got a new one ordered so will send you the deeta when it arrives

Mini update to all of you! Since I've owned Lola it seems mpg despite being a diesel wasn't her thing! So decided to chuck a coolant temp sensor in and what a difference! 45mpg without even trying to be economical and feels like it's picked up 30+hp, planning on egr delete very soon but will be leaving the valve (once cleaned out) in place for the anti shudder valve, but will just blank off the pipe, hopefully will be putting on the back box delete in the summer new HIDS are in and look great really make it look like a newer car (white audi style) and no water leaks have come back!

Incoming update! Cars been running very well since coolant temp sensor! Will be changing the front tyres soon to Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 2's to get and reduce the bounce from the Michelin pilot sport 3's which are nearly dead anyways am also having the rear tailgate trim making metal clip noises and there's a vibration behind the cash, anyone had these before?

Incoming update! Cars been running very well since coolant temp sensor! Will be changing the front tyres soon to Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 2's as the mitchi's are about 3mm and to hopefully reduce the bounce from the Michelin pilot sport 3's as I find them far to hard on the road am also having the rear tailgate trim making metal clip noises and there's a vibration behind the dash , anyone had these before? I have had the radio out for aux lead kit reasons so possibly something to do with that

At 70mph+ I get a ticking noise behind the dash, not sure if that's the same thing your experiencing? don't have a clue what it is, I've asked about but no result. Quick question, what HID kit did you go for? My HID's are flickering and resistors haven't helped so a new one is on the cards when pay day comes!

 

[Jputts]

I didn't run resistors in mine! My first kit pood the bed also, I shall find the box at lunchtime, my vibration is 1.1-1.2k revs mainly and incredibly annoying and the metal clips I know is tailgate trim I'm just reluctant to take it apart again :/

Ye mines flicker constant and my left lamp turns off and on, probs a faulty ballast but still, a new kit
is needed. Ye cheers if you could that would be great. Are you running powerflex dogbone engine mounts? I know they can make the dash shake. Mines makes an annoying squeak when on idle, comes from the fan belt tensioner. Replaced it and it fixed it for a bit and now it's reappeared, it's rather annoying.

 

[Jputts]

Ahh I've done the tensioner, and nope prety stock for a mk1 no real mods... yet

Update for everyone!!! Have finally had to change the front pads.... not much interesting there.... front tyres are now Goodyear Eagle F1s (Aseymetric 2) in non XL and what a tyre! Stick very well in wet and dry and far quieter.. very happy indeed picked up for £80 each at camskill .. also just had some custom blue floormatts done which look the bollocks! Guy named Richard walkner (find him on V.A.G for sale and wanted Facebook group) highly recommend him!

Tailgate trim should be being removed soon ish and hopefully cure the dreaded now intermittent squeek!

Huge breakthrough! Found the squeak! The boot latch trim that moves when it locks was running in the metal!

I've also taped the latch itself as it was slightly lose

Update to you all! Had the drivers side regulator seal let go, no suprise there! The outside air temp sensor is playing up so will post that when I do it! And the back box bracket snapped so that's nice! Doing a load of fixes this summer so will post as many as I can!
