What did you and your MK2 do today?

[AndrewJB]

Changed the transmission fluid for Redline MTL. Took plenty of pics whilst doing it and will put a guide together later tonight - it's not hard but I know I struggled to find a guide and it might help someone else and save them getting screwed over by a dealership or garage.

my findings are uprated fluid = more crunchy when cold

Couple of mates have said the same

I'm hoping to improve the shift when it's up to temperature. The lower gears seem to stick a bit at the moment. We will see, although the stuff that came out was black.

Looks like the Golf MK6 climate unit? Didn't realise it was possible to fit that to the Leon, looks really smart and matches your RNS 510 well! Do SEAT make a fascia for this or was it a DIY job?

Yes its climate panel from Golf 6 include senzor quality air ... All functions play correct
What does mean DIY?

DIY is 'Do it yourself'

nice work fella, would these controls work in a pre-facelift, or does the wiring need to be modified?

 

[cila555]

My Cupra R is model 2011 and I modified only quality senzor air...

The lady got her first MOT yesterday, and passed with flying colours!

The only advisory was a screw in the back tyre, which to be honest, I'm growing to like lol!

Attempted to fit my new mirror covers but can't get the old ones off. Going to see if seat will do it for me!

With my Pre-FL i found the best way was to actually remove the mirror glass, then you can access the clips, also heating the mirror up with a hair drier etc reduces the risk of the cold plastic being brittle

As far as I am aware you tilt the glass down as far as possible and then pull firm but gently at the top of the glass and it should come out (glass and housing). But be carefully because there are some wires attached for the heated wing mirrors. Then you can see the clips inside and just unclip it.

That's for the FL though.

 

[olitaylor07]

Just one clip on the right hand side

When I did mine I folded the mirrors up and got an old bank card underneath and worked my way round it and it popped off so I didn't have to remove the mirror or anything.

The actual mirror casing has 5 clips which just need to be prized off. Push hard and it just pops off
