Put IC vent into inner wheel liner and tried the short shift mod(a bit more work needed on that only half the gears). Will have to check my measurements LOL
what have you done to your car today ?
- Thread starter seatcupramad23
- Start date
200 mile round trip to pick up a new door from stoke on Trent! Got the door, in pretty good condition from what I can see and all the innards inc glass for £20!!
Sorted another one (and hopefully the last) of the water leaks on the car, this time this one was caused by someone else's incompetence....
Pollen filter cover - now we all know how important it is to have the skirt seated correctly to keep the water diverted. But what happens when someone has bodged your skirt so no matter how hard you try, it'll never seal correctly?
Compared to a complete one
Moral of the story? Regardless of who works on your car, always check their work. Sloppy pish like this is the reason I stopped taking the car to SEAT for some annual monkey-induced damage (ruined a turbo by not bolting on the support, stripped the threads out of the hotside).
Big thanks to 8bit for the spare, intact cover, cheers min!

Wheel spacers on the way ... 20mm magnesium forged hubcentric with bolts

One wheel refurbed due to a huge dint+ new tyre + a ramair induction kit + tracking... busy day
Changed my thermostat had to finish it off in the dark with just my i phone torch for light. All seems ok though touch wood. Temp gauge is now sitting at 90 heaters are blowing out lovely and hot checked the bottom hose that was cold for a while then got hot so thermostat must have opened ok. And fan is kicking in . Also put a new dipstick tube in as the old one had a big split in it. Changed my cone filter as the one that was on it was filthy. Only thing I've noticed though is the mpg seem really bad since changing thermostat. Do you think it may take a while for the ecu to reset itself or something.
Today i am going to try and unlock my passenger door.
Also being done...
Blue side lights
clean (out / in)
speaker being refitted aswell due to taking off as changed the window regulator.

The front pops out then splits apart, I masked off most of it when i sprayed the red then i wrapped the S then just glue it all back together again, i had it black before the carbon. I havent done the rear but i know that it comes out after you remove the boot trim, 3 screws hold it in. It splits as well. otherwise just mask off each bit and spray it
sealed another one of my doors think it was only the drivers side front and rear door that was leaking but im doing them all to make sure. only one door left to do.
R8 cooling cap
Key ring
is that a fuel pressure gauge next to your cam belt cover
Feckin brilliant isn't it...
I'm not going to name names but it was a professional company who I expected more from. Funnily enough happened after I ditched SEAT lol.
