Though I think you may already have the condition beyond curing.

Nice to see another tdi on here,nice motor
-
Smart looking motor, I like that :happy2:
I'm impressed with a roaded' 228hp. How's it drive now compared to standard - how much sharper is the torque response out of interest?
Looking at this engine with similar mods as a next buy :happy2:
-
Cheers all
The Stage2+ 228 Map is far to smokey for road use, its for 1/4 Mile only, The stage 2 is smokey aswell.

^^^^
Did someone say "Smokin'!!"?

Good to see you over here, Andrew :happy2:

hoping to replace the brakes soon so either hoping to pick up a Cupra set or one of these nice Porsche Set ups i keep seeing
-
996tt Up front with 350mm rotors :party: Will remember to text you when im in MK / Bedford next for you to have a feel of them
-
The only think putting me off one of the kits was the fact it used the 312mm dics, which IMHO are to small for 18" wheels
Porsche Calipers + 345mm discs would be ace
-
Mine are 350mm mate :happy2: with 996tt calipers. I used to have the 312mm kit and it was very very good for a number of reasons but the bigger kit is ace

**EDIT
You'll see alot of reference on here tho the NQSBBK - Its the "Not Quite So Big Brake Kit" that uses the 312mm & Boxter caliper, plenty of threads on here :smiley: :happy2:
-
Would the 350's fit behind my BTCC Wheels
-
What offset? I needed a 3mm spacer with TD Pro race 1.2 ET45 I think mine are
*edited post above ref NQSBBK
-
Dunno i dont understand wheel offsets hence why ive never changed wheels :grin:
-
As far as I understand a lower offset will give you more clearance inside the wheel and between wheel & shock but will stick out more
For example
OEM Cupra wheels were ET51
New wheels are ET45 so poke out 6mm more but give 6mm more room inside :happy2:
Somebody correct me if Im miles off

Dropped Dave an Email! Really neeed to get front end knocking sorted out first though, Top Mounts suspected

Got a quiet knocking from front / front left atm too. Had new top mounts, arb bushes, track rod ends, console bushes.
Theres a subframe bolt replacement discussed on here that Im going to try.
-
Yeh the longer bolts with a little metal washer thing, might try them first as there cheap
-

Mee too
Yeh the longer bolts with a little metal washer thing, might try them first as there cheap
-
So should be able to get these from TPS
-

I've got the same thing.. Fitted new console bushes, new ARB bushes and new drop links without sucksess :sad1: :sad1:
New topmounts sitting here ready to fit..
-
With wheel clearance, you can have an et30 wheel that has less clearance at the back of the spokes than an et50. All really depends on the style of the wheel.
I suspect you would need ay least a 10mm spacer to get the btcc wheels over the 996t calipers. There should be loads of arch clearance to allow a good size spacer.
-
Im going to Try these subframe bolts first then if not probably Top Mounts
hopefully going to get Alex at AKS to do it
-

I've been thinking of these too. Let me know how you get on matey :happy2:
-
I will have 4-500 mile oem top mounts going in May / June if fitting at AKS is convenient
-
Mike is there an upgraded Top Mount available? i seem to remember a Audi TT top mount would fit
Need to source these Subframe bolts now

I bought the TTRS / RS3 ones thinking they would be stiffer rubbers but turned out to be identical to my cupra ones, I think they are an upgrade for you though. User: "The Bruce" would be able to confirm
Im getting ground control adjustable top mounts :innocent:

I've ordered Cupra top mounts from David for mine which I'm sure are the same part :happy2:
-
15 quid from Awesome i bet there cheaper from TPS or Audi
So what i need is Cupra Top Mounts
-
Think its the spacers that make the difference...
I can get you the p/n for the topmounts if you like?
-
il speak to Dave Hawthorne tommorow last time i asked about top mounts they where on back order
ECS Bolts cheapest option firstly though, that might solve the problem
-
Topmounts are in as I've just recieved 2 from him over the weekend :happy2:
-
How much did they cost? iirc they where quite expensive

is may too long of a wait for my 500mile old cupra top mounts andrew?
-
well im hoping its just the Subframe bolts that are causing it
But if its not then i can wait :happy2: its been knocking for nearly 2 years , would the Cupra ones offer me anything extra even if they arent broke
-

I believe they have stiffer rubbers which would give a firmer feel, better response etc

Andy, with my AP brakes, They just about fit ok with the ET45 Pro-race I had, but need spacers for the ET54 BTCC wheels. I have a 10mm, but thats more than enough space.
-
Nicest leon diesel i've seen! :D GREAT COLOUR OF COURSE ! :p
-
Andy, had do you find the 42 Draft Design Shifter Bushes?
I've just made some :happy2:
-
Gear changes are alot more positive, money well spent
Required filling down to fit with Forge shifter though
-
Cool, so noticeable difference :happy2:
Cant wait to try my version :evilgrin:
-
gearstick is solid now, before it felt sloppy
id love to fit a Suquential box :happy2:

Double post :chicken:

So..... Ive been pondering for a while replacing this car, Couple of reasons why! Firstly i do about 12 miles a day which doesn't really warranty a Diesel, Even at a proven 230bhp the car needs more power, Looked long and hard at the Garrett GTB2260VK kit but im abit worried that the car will be unreliable if i was to push it to 270-300bhp, And the problem is its my daily driver.
My Good friend Graeme (BIGG Addicted) informed me he was selling up the other day, Me and Graeme have been through it all with regards to the DPF Deleting on these PD170's and then it got me thinking..... Can i afford a Cupra
So ive put a deposit down today.............on a MK2 Leon Cupra R
Big problem ive got now is getting this car back to standard... its hardly an easy job, Most of the parts off this car will be fitted onto the LCR with the exception of the EGR and DPF Equipment
-
This is whats replacing it
