  1. Unlucky fella! Got to ask, what you 'grabbed from under the bonnet'?! The radiator? The expansion tank! Lol. Assume a tool of some sort?! Is there no way to flick the bonnet catch without popping it inside first?

     

    Haha, I took the timing chain cover off to measure the phaser O ring's. Then wen't to put it back, left key on top of battery and dropped the bonnet! DOH!

  2. Lol

    Y didnt u tell us earlier it was a 2nd car!

    We were all worried about u!

    Seriously, u tried the wiki link?

    Or can breakdown service help?

     

    Haha, sorry mate! It was quite urgent - I was quite distressed when I realised what a numpty I was. Best thing to do was to scream for help!

     

    Wiki link gives the usual about prising the door open - I really dont fancy that.

     

    There are ways to get inside the car quite easily but probably not best to be discussed openly.

    Feel free to PM me :)

  3. Some how, being a dib dob I wen't out to the car last night to grab something from under the bonnet and left my only key on the battery. I didn't realise until this morning (it was dark last night).
     
    Whats the easiest way in? Try and remove the grille and pop the bonnet?
     
    Its a 2006 Seat Leon.

    Thanks.
  4. Had the same issue at work with an Audi A4 2.0 tfsi worn the high pressure fuel bucket and chewed into the cam shaft traced the fault the begin a failing oil pump gear drying the top end of head up! New oil pump and camshaft and bucket later all ok but that was mega ££££ begin main dealer etc!

    Sadly I don't know of any spares going dude but as for using a S3 cam shaft that's the best way forward

    Hope this helps

     

    Did the engine run ok otherwise - What was the symptoms?

     

    I thought all the BWA's came with Rev B cam? Only the early Gti's came with Rev A.

    I'd just get the Rev B cam.

    Will the S3 one fit? they have different compression ratios.

    Oh and I'm sure I have some pump parts in the garage.

     

    I think suffix J is the newest updated cam replacing the B, H is the S3 one. From what I've read it is fine to use, plenty of people have had no problems and they are all the same price.

    I'll pm you now about the parts mate.

     

    EDIT/ Tried to PM, your inbox is full I think?

  5. Not a Skoda, but a Leon I have just purchased pretty cheap. I bought on the assumption it was a misfire at high revs, however, after stripping it down I found the following:

     

    Worn Cam lobe for fuel pump -

    Snapped bottom guide of tensioner -

    Plastic seals broken for Cam Phaser/Variator (whatever its called!) -

    Damned revision A cam -

    And the car in question, along side my barge -

    The cam follower for the HPFP was fine, so had been replaced recently before the car was shifted on to some numpty (me). The tip of the HPFP has worn ever so slightly, I will get pics tomorrow - hoping someone can advise if OK to reuse, or will need replacing, or if parts can be sourced separately for the pump? 

    And, what is known about the Phaser wheel thing, I understand roughly how it works, with oil being passed through the 3 different galleries, and the plastic seals there to separate them, but would it be safe to use Some similar sized Viton O-Rings?

    Annddd, cheapest place to buy a new cam - I have read I can use the S3 cam, revised with hardened lobe for pump. But can it be bought anywhere other than VW/TPS?

     

    Anyone been in the same boat?

     

    Tony.

  6. Bought from ECP for the tidy sum of £43.19.

    Meets VW TL 052 182 (DSG except DQ400 and DQ500)

     

    LCwjYZZ.jpg

     

    It is around £25 cheaper than the stuff from TPS, and I have read numerous things about Triple QX being Shell rebottled and rebranded by ECP to save money on the CarLube stuff they used to sell. This was also confirmed by the chap behind the desk I purchased from.

     

    I'm sort of swaying towards taking it back and getting genuine stuff from TPS tomorrow, but as it's the price difference of a set of spark plugs, and meets a VW standard I'm in two minds.

     

    The VW standard it meets could be anything though, like colour or viscosity - I can't find any info on it. The DQ400 and DQ500 are the newer 7 speed boxes, so it isn't compatible with these, but as ECP don't have spec sheets for Triple QX oils, I am left in the dark...

     

    Has anyone used it?

     

    :)

  7. Hi,

     

    I have now sold the car to a very happy new owner. I am now driving a 2007 Leon FR TFSI - DSG - So basically the petrol VRS without a boot. :)

     

    I am pretty sure the dealers would have been instructed to change the bolts and I'd also guess the seals came with the new injectors too, however, who knows if they did? All I can say is from my experience, changing the seals, and bolts and torquing down to the correct spec of 3nm + ONE 270' turn worked for me :) If you've tried every other avenue, and are still scratching your head with a lumpy PD, its got to be worth a pop.

     

    Yes mine used to smoke intermittently at idle, and when smoking it used to smell strongly of unburnt diesel. It didn't cure the whistling turbo though unfortunately. I did some research, and it seems a lot of the PD's whine, so I left it as is.
