Ordered some injector cleaner last night - given the MoT is in a couple of months and I'd like to get a head start.
Something's definitely up with either my shocks or bushes though - opened the back door to check for dampness and when I closed the door - lightly - the car shook. I have a feeling that isn't supposed to happen.

Looking very fresh, Bruce. One thing that irritates me with the FR though, especially on the platinum grey ones is the silver mirror caps.
To me they always seemed like someone stuck some odd colour replacements on there as the silver and grey are so similar.

Cupra and Cupra R both have body colour, only FR & FR+ got silver.
I painted the ones on my old FR TDI.

That's fair enough and I get it, just my personal view anyway.

That’s a bizarre manufacturing decision lol

Re sealed loom hole under scuttle and done a bit to my special engine cover
Also found out why the rear window was steaming up. Loose washer connection.
One day this car will only present me with minor issues

Same. They're a really weird matt silver which even looked out of place on my silver Leon. When someone smacked my nearside and I needed to replace it, I primed, sprayed and lacquered it and it looks awesome.

It was when they rebadged Cupra as FR. They got new wheel designs, FR badges and silver mirrors. Just a cheap way of making them look special!
Spent the day working out how the n249 works so i can simply it and refit.
Success! Mounted the reservoir at the front upside down and hooked it straight up to the n249. Managed to use vac lines to bypass the n112.Everything else plumbed in to my existing DV lines perfectly. Once i cable tidy it i dont think you'll even notice it.
Will get a better picture tomorrow.
And the verdict is in! after running the bypass all year: Im staying with it fitted. It dumps so much quicker crisper now (i even noticed my needle dropping faster on boost gauge) and feels like it picks up a bit better on throttle.
