Discoverd a tear in my stock tip so thought ide upgrade to this the size :love: lol huge and got indutcion kit to go with its a beast exelent qaulity best tip ive seen thanks to bill at badger5 rapid delivery to :thumbup: . Then the time came to test if it runs lol and it lives ;) only prob is the new exhaust mani to turbo gasket was blowing like mad so took it out and compared to old one and its nothing like so got to get new one monday so this is how it stands for now if alls good with new gasket ill run it for 5 min then drop the oil take sump off check pick up pipe for any bits of crap that have got in then refit new oil and filter . Strip mani off clean everythin fit all new blue hoses thoughout catch can pcv delete etc then that should be it for now :) a lot lt more to come
 
:thumbup:While im waiting till monday for gasket thought ide fit the new discs i got
i have rears to but aint got round to them they match the fronts drilled and grooved. More to add tomoz
 
Quick update rear brakes done i will be repainting front and rear calipers and gauds . Ill be doin the big clean up on the car when its totally repaired . Im having a absolute nightmare with the exhaust mani to turbo just cant stop it blowing sounds like a tractor ive used genuine gasket from seat and still it blows its driving me mad im gonna end up pulling the head off again to sort this out which i really dont wanna do more expence for head gasket and bolts:cry:
 
These are gonna be goin on the car when its fixed and everything is cleaned and mani and tb charge pipe cant wait to start fitting all my goodies i have a good size stash of bits now . Just got to get that blow sorted
 
Update sorted the exhaust mani to turbo leak cars running really well but the dramas aint over yet its got a mayja oil leak seems to coming from pully area which confirms my worst fear i think the bolt that sheared the crank gear has cracked the casing coming from somwhere in this area i have a crank seal so gonna have to get the casing that unbolts god nos where im gonna get one of them if anyone has any idea where to get one let me no
 
Well i took off the crank pully and gaurd and it seems that the casing must be cracked or the crank seal is leaking :cry: you can see the oil in the bottom of the casing lucky i spotted this strait away before oil got all over the new cam belt i seen i tiny bit of oil in the cam belt cover where it had flicked off the leading edge of the belt but not a lot so should be ok so now i got to find a front crank shaft seal flange only one i could find was this off a ayp year 2000 tt bein a 2005 bam dont no if they are identical but would have thought so both being 1.8t. Bad thing is i now have to take the car apart again :cry:
 
Small update gone from this to this degreaser then all rinsed and dryed also cleaned the whole bay came out well i think also pinched the charge pipe off my cupra gave it a polish and polished my 007p too just need my polished mani and rocker to turn up then i can start detailing the bay proply while im waiting for the crank seal flange to turn up. Also serviced my 007p . One other thing cant decide which dv to fit i no the 007 is a better dv as ive heard the split r can leak and i also know these 1.8t engines dont like none or part recerc. Oh and the misses got me a present so couldnt resist tryin it out couldnt beleive it when she turned up home with a huge jet wash lol :)
 
Oh forgot to mention new expansion tank and pinched cm upoer boost hoses off the cupra lol the cupra is gettin striped think ill end up scrapping it shame good car
 
Well fitted my carbon canister cm hose kit today must say they are a poor fit needed trimming etc also trial fitted my b5 heat shield and jetex cone and just couldnt get the heat shield to fit tryed everythin just wont go so left the shield out see total wrong angle dont no how this is happening seen pics of them fitted so they do go somehow anyway left it out for now also fitted couple of shinny bits polished charge pipe porsh oil and coolant caps i think its comin on well just need my polished rocker cover and mani to turn up will be lookin sweet as then :)
 
:DLittle bay update rocker cover i bin playin with shes slowly getting there to think 3 weeks ago the pistons met the valves when the cam belt snapped. lol i bin a busy boy:D
