Aww yeah, just needs a bit of colour now

And my silicone arrived for switching out my old perished breather hoses.

 

[yellonvi-R]

Hhhhmmm dont think im keen on the crinkle finish, think it only looks good on the type r engine.

 

[Jokerman261]

You won't like this then either

Ordered up a catchcan and some other misc bits, just getting rid of the pap breather system, can't believe how perished and worn it is.

Tax reminder through ,6months of ownership. Getting dear though, intercooler, pipework, rocker cover and new filter will have to wait till next month.

 

[yellonvi-R]

Itll still look good on but obviously we dont all like the same brand of tea lol still loving the car

 

[Jokerman261]

Haha no worries, I'll probably go to flat black pipework at some point but for now I like it.

 

[x24sevenbikerx]

ill need to see it in person to see if i like it

looks alrite tho

 

[Jokerman261]

Anyone got a grill lying around they'd like to sell me?
I lost mine today, I don't think this is gonna cut it, the keen enthusiasts may be able to spot the fake.

 

[Cupra137]

I think I still have a spare lying around in the shed if your wanting. Will check tomorrow for you if you want

 

[Jokerman261]

PM sent thanks.

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Love the grille haha!

And the rocker cover!

 

[Jokerman261]

New grill fitted thanks to cupra137.

Weeks worth of use...seem to be getting a lot fuel in there though.

Service next, any oil recommendations?

 

[Jokerman261]

Working on a couple of bits just now.

Headlining and pillars out to be retrimmed in this grey faux suede. It's pretty close to the grey on the seats.

Started working on the headlining, of course I didn't order enough glue.
Easy enough to work with though, the pillars take a bit more work though as the fabric isn't that stretchy.

The fabric is from ebay user "swincraft2" and I ordered 5m which is more than enough, they also do lots of other fabrics and colours for those interested. You'll need 4 tins of high temp adhesive spray if you're doing the b pillars as well, got mine from ebay.

Also I've moved these 3 switches down here, any guesses why?

Looking good loon. I reeally need to get round to doing my headlining and pillers.

you fitting cupholders by chance where those switches were or are you fitting cd player?

 

[x24sevenbikerx]

to re-route your turbo inside? so u can blow on it too cool it?

 

[Jokerman261]

Haha I wish Graeme.

It is indeed a cupholder, trial fit hasn't gone exactly to plan, needs a bit of tweeking before I'm happy.

 

[Jokerman261]

My productive week off work hasn't been so productive

Firstly got all of my headliner back in which looks ok.

Now the fun bits

Slow puncture on passenger side tire
Down to 1.2bar of boost
Went to change the intercooler pipework, oil change, filter change, fit the yellow rocker cover and gaskets etc and all I found was lots and lots of oil around the drivers side driveshaft, gearbox, turbo/actuator. So this is either the driveshafts eaten itself or the turbo has a leak.
Anyone know the quickest way to source the problem and if it is the driveshaft the best place to get one?

Anyone want a Cupra running on hopes and dreams?

 

[yellonvi-R]

Is there any oil in your intercooler pipes?

 

[Jokerman261]

No more than usual that'd you see in a 1.8t. It's really hard to tell where the oil is coming from because there is so much of it around the gearbox/subframe.

Would there be play in the driveshaft if it'd popped at the gearbox side?

 

[yellonvi-R]

Think so yeah shouldnt really be any play in the driveshaft i dont think. If its come from your turbo them id think that would be your oil lines?? You really need to clean it all off then run it whilst your underneath it...could be loads of places it would leak from.

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Looking good mucka!

Hope you find your leak! Have you cleaned the oil off to see if it starts Leaking again and where from?
