Was going to reseal under the scuttle but after 2 kettles of hot water over tge wiper spindles, they still weren't coming off. Think I'll have to do a few more gym sessions before my next attempt lol. So I then topped up my nieces fabia's power steering, which is located under the battery, what a crap place to put it. Oh I washed the leon as well.
Turn them on so they sit vertical on the windscreen.
You have removed the nuts?
Then applied the water?
Then pull up wipers 90 deg and wiggle?

Yeah I did take the nuts off lol, ok I'll try the vertical next time and report back, 3rd time lucky eh. Thanks Lee
Just changed my pre cat O2 sensor and took it for a little blast. Seems like its gonna be so much better on petrol. And I don't know if I'm imagining it or not but seems to pull better aswell.
Lee if my management light is on due to decat would this cause issues using to much/to little fuel?
Can even come on with a spacer
Has yours ever come on with the sports cat?

Haven't fitted spacer because I just turn it off its VAG now and then and hopefully get it mapped out when I finished couple of bits
Well I noticed a big drop in mpg and when I plug my fault code reader in it always brings up bank 1 below threshold. And when doing readiness test it always came up O2 sensor fail. I've deleted all the codes and took it for a run and fingers crossed its all coming up clear. The only thing that is coming up fail is catylist but it ain't got one so that's prob why. No spacer fitted on the rear sensor and no light coming on.
Well today i cleaned my throttle body out....i got told it was running rich on idle and that it probably needed cleaning plus was bit sluggish. So i did some research and found out it was easy enough to do myself and heres the progress in pictures...
as you can see from this picture its not in a very good state at all.
and that was absolutely caked in crap
so i cleaned it all up both sides and this was the result........
now that's what it should look like!!!!
and have to say instantly felt a better drive and better acceleration now it can actually breathe smoothly..
