I wish I knew that before buying the Bosch, I looked into cheaper versions but people seemed to say that they were noisy but the Bosch were fine
I will give them a go and see how they do

removed the pre-cat from the FR this evening... what a difference!! well worth doing
Is your car a pd170 tdi leon? Do you know if the cr tdi engines have the same pre-cat?
Do you have any pictures or details of what you replaced it with?
Yeah I ordered valeo blades all around but the rear wouldn't fit so had to get a Bosch one.
The fronts clear perfectly but the rear doesn't
Just remember when I got mine the Bosch ones would fit on both sides however the valeo ones will only fit one side.

Carried out the Ron Echt Inlet valve clean, along with CupraJake. Worked well.. lots of crap fired out of the tail pipe.. probably plenty more behind cat lol. Idles better.. put through a pint of white spirits via removing temperature sender and spraying ws in using a modded garden sprayer

Snap, hope it did some good,
I also did this today
Today, after the fail of the exhaust I decided to do this,

You can see the perforated holes, all four pipes have these, I've already covered the lower two, with half a piece of pipe,
This is all the fibreglass stuffing. Enough for two bin bags,

Here's the pipes all covered

We did weld all the edges before putting half the stuffing back in and welding shut,
The idea of this is. The perforated holes make the exhaust quieter and slow down the gases, by blocking off half these holes I've made the car louder and still kept away form any raspy-ness....
I can still open the other side and block the rest of the holes should I want more noise,
But tbh I'm happy with the sound, very oem just a bit deeper.
Here's a very pants vid.

Actually, to save money check out Mainz Car Care on Facebook. They do auctions.. I got cherry glaze tri foam applicator and microfibre cloth for £16! Should be £30 I think..
Haven't posted here for a while but I've given the car some loving this weekend!
Shes had:
30mm Eibach Pro-Kit springs
New OEM Intercooler
New OEM boost hoses (apparently Forge have discontinued the boost hoses for the FR )
Full Service
All 4 wheels have been refurbed and sprayed Blue Anthracite
Calipers have been painted red
Sprayed the wing mirror covers and front grill with matte black Plastidip, then wrapped the front badge in carbon fibre
Annd the rear windows are getting tinted at some point in the next week or so also
She needs a good clean but heres how she looks at the moment.
