What did you and your MK2 do today?

[locky]

Drove all the way to Cornwall from newcastle with no problems. Hit Newquay and I get a flashing coil light and no power grr!
coil plug light and no power

I know a garage in Saltash who could help you if you cant get it sorted mate.
Ive been doing the newcastle to plymouth run 4 to 5 times a year for the last 13 years - never gets old - NOT!!

I can tell you what me and my mk2 DIDN'T do this weekend, we didnt fit the ceramic Revo i had planned.

We are both pretty upset about it, the car even more than me, at least i have TV, footy and sunday roast to distract me, the poor car has nothing but dust from next doors builders and rain showers to enjoy.

Cheers I'll keep that in mind if it goes into safe mode again. Typically happened as I was trying to overtake on a hill!
I've had this happen before but it didn't go into safe mode, just had the flashing coil light. Cured that after I found a leaking pipe to the turbo. Only really have an idea what's wrong when I plug it into the computer.
Ive driven down here a few times and the roads only get interesting once you get into the twisties! Wish I still had my 205 gti down here

Today I spent the day giving my new 2007 fr a bit of tlc. Wash, polished, waxed and then the boring stuff, degreasing and cleaning what looks like 7 years of oily gunk from all the hinges, nooks and crannies. Interior next week and I'll be happy I've done my first ownership decon.....and then it rained. Beggar.

well today I've finished making my custom double din front for my Seat spec Rcd310 ( the normal double din surround was miles off fitting the Rcd310 in ) + I've finished painting the new front for my facelift climate control upgrade and also painted my speedo surround..I've done the fronts in Diamond black metallic now all I have to do is wire in a live to pin 16 so the headunit powers on then I can fit all the new parts....

Cleaned it ready for its trip down to AKS tomorrow! Booked in for some open heart surgery to fix a misfire.

 

[Zipcode]

Snow foamed, washed, dried and a bit of quick detail to finish it off. Gave the interior a nice wipe down and a vacuum. Sprayed some smelly stuff so it's all ready for the week ahead.

 

[Rob_Talisman]

Which snow foam is the best to use? Saw the video clip on here of someone covering the whole car in it.

FInally ordered an APR boost tap so I can install the boost gauge I've been threatening to install since 2 Leons ago

 

[Joshkcupra]

Order a intake manifold flap motor as my one is faulty, according to AMD when I had my APR map done. So gonna change it over and then bust out the ol' VCDS and reset it's position, hopefully it'll run a bit better!

Have a chance to buy a VW rns 315 almost new from a company. It was taken out 2012 VW bc the new owner upgraded to RNS 510.

The price qoute is 299. But is it worth it? Do the car get a higher value?

Won't increase the value of your car but it will give you a nicer radio. I would t bother to be honest.

The thing is that i only got usb in, not aux or Bluetooth. Thats kinda suckie imo.

had my stage 2+ done @ R-T.E.C.H today. 357bhp 369ftlbs

 

[Jarre]

Has anyone replaced a wheel bearing on their leon themselves and know how easy/difficult it is?

 

[olitaylor07]

I've had it done and seen it. Lol.

The hardest thing is getting the hub but out. Mechanic at our place snapped his big bar on crafoo's car when changing the springs.

Everythjng comes off bit by bit. You just need to tools and space. Wouldn't fancy trying to get to he nuts undone while on axle stands.

Sounds like a ramp is needed at least. The noise is starting to annoy me now!

 

[Crafoo]

Yep, snapped his power bar like a boss!

 

[unsheenashashin]

Gave it a going over with g3 paint renovator, simoniz original wax, then wonder wheels paint sealant. That simoniz stuff is REALLY hard work, but good results from it. Cheaper than a gym membership as well.

 

[shnazzle]

I love G3 products.

I've even machine polished the Leon with G3 scratch remover and paint renovator. Worked better than actual compound

Just makes it a lot easier. I was sat in the car in mine, with the engines on and brake pedal pushed and one side was a dog to undo.

And if you've very undone a dog it's bloody hard. Lol.
