SEAT Leon FR CR170

[Unit9]

Personally I would delete, also the DPF too, especially if you want the performance and gets rid of any future problems for good.

 

[Matt cla]

Cheers for the advice. Going to talk to shark performance about the options.

 

[Unit9]

They should be able to sort you out no problem, shame you a bit far away to me as could have sorted some thing

 

[Matt cla]

Only 5 miles from shark so could get there no problems. Don't fancy limp mode all the way up to yours ha but cheers anyway.

 

[Unit9]

Hope you get sorted mate' I defo think that's the best route, makes you enjoy the car and driving it so much more. Said mine was staying standard but that didn't last long haha

 

[Matt cla]

Yeah I will be looking into it. I don't think I'll be able to access the egr and cooler myself to clear it out because they are at the back of the engine aren't they, unlike older models?

 

[Unit9]

Yeah really easy when the DPF is off too, I haven't got my cooler took out yet and EGR is just blanked at the moment,

 

[Shayz]

Is this grizz from unit 9 near Cheshire??

Mate car looks amazeballs
On your advice I purchased the Pipercross filter and what a difference from the paper stock item!

 

[Unit9]

No mate, it's Paul from Unit 9 Remaps in the North East' Co'Durham

 

[Unit9]

went to the garage today to find my spoiler had been dropped off by the painted on Saturday afternoon, planned on fitting it today but never got time, defo tomorrows job

 

[Unit9]

finally got around to fitting the Cupra R boot spoiler today, hard to get a decent angle pic and finishes the rear end off.

Also managed to give it a quick clean but had forgot about the wheels, FAIL!

 

[Loftus]

Loving the car!

I too have a white 170. Although my only planned cosmetic mods are gloss black mirrors and wheels (anything more and the missus would kill me )

Were your mirror covers and wheels already done when you bought it?

 

[Unit9]

They where done from factory, I said this was staying standard apart from DPF , EGR and map, hasn't later long, next up hopefully suspension, good black front grill surround, paint callipars, seat sport gear knob and arm rest

Over braked from what Iv read, the piston sizes don't match the master cylinder and will you a spongy pedal aswell.the TTRS 4pots suit the mc and have the an oe pedal feel.

 

[Unit9]

That's the type of reply I like, really appreciate the feedback, many thanks

 

[Unit9]

So the Mrs Got me these for xmas too, hopefully next weeks job when i decide to go back' but more like 2 month times as it always happens, think she is a keeper if she carries on getting present like this

Also after a few beers the other night was thinking about Q7 6 pot brakes, after some thinking they dont work out and are that little too big so started to browse 4 pot set ups, must resist to be honest, going to try not purchase anything for a while as other priorities are a must this next year.

 

[lajohnz]

There's always a few used porche 4-pot big brake kits for sale(eBay,Facebook,mk5forum etc) one sold the other day on eBay for £420.

plenty info on brake kits over on the mk5golfgti forum.

 

[Unit9]

Even looked at s3 set ups to be honest, it's ine thing I'm going to stop looking for, plenty of time. Haven't had the car a year yet and there's been plenty of progress
