that's better

same engine, remapped and no fix applied, average about 300-350 miles between regens

ordered these as I thought they looked cool and the wheel centre caps I currently have look a bit worse for wear... either the wheel cleaner I used has degraded them or they're non genuine.

what was It? I had to get a refund for a rear bumper part and no one else does it

yes what are you planning on buying? they have advised me they are not shipping anything that's large of heavy to the uk, due to Brexit apparently. think you should be ok with badges etc. but worth contacting them before placing an order

bit of an update, RARB on medium setting is awesome! pretty much eliminated body roll, now the weathers getting warm I'll give it a go on hard setting I've noticed a rattle from the rear end of the car sounds like a loose heat shield (possibly disturbed when fitting RARB) so hoping just a star washer fix. need to get back under it to check all the bolts are still correctly torqued anyway. I'll give a wire brush and waxoyl whilst I'm there too.

I didn't think the 2.0 tdi was suitable for SMF conversion.. but yes, you will notice some more vibrations compared to the dual mass. you can check the diaphragm on the ASV to see if it's split

good work dude, i'll be heading to cannock for my 2nd time towards the end of May, see if I can do the full dog+monkey trail this time

if it shudders to a halt or bang on engine shut down could point to issues in the anti shudder valve or DMF starting to age

i'd be up for a meet too

so the leather I was would use a dedicated leather cleaner, angle wax, Lord Sheraton Leather Balsam are some of my favourites, tape up or don't get it on the stitching. the grey part is alcantara, a soft long bristle brush with low foaming cleaner, Total interior by auto finesse is good, light spray and brush back and forth, wipe of with micro fibre and hover dry/separate fibres. the cloth part, nothing beats a wetvac here but the above method will get it clean too

rarb on deffo needs a wire brush and paint under there but that's a job for another day! enough rolling on the floor for today

cars back spacers fitted splitter fitted starting work on the rarb skirts and service can wait till this weekend

New front HR spacers ... I'm going to be busy this weekend

noticed my service was due when dropping it off so got some parts ready for when I pick it up. top service from ecp, ordered at 10 last night, delivered by 10 today (free 4-5 day service) 👍🙆‍♂️

do you have a reset on the stalk (rh) wondering if you have a dodgy button or a short causing odd behaviour

car in the shop, new rarb arrived

not sure what car you have but if it's a TDI possibly it's doing a regen as some people report hot burning rubber smell.

I used a desolve it spray starting at the top, left it for a few mins and then used dental floss in a sawing motion and it'll come off clean. clean and polish the paint before refitting. altho I'd get the paint damage sorted before refitting

body shop now open as of yesterday t-minus 10 days splitter and skirts are primed and painted ready for fitting, winter steels are off and back in storage

give them a sand and black gloss hammerite is what I use.

Map out/remove the DPF, fyi doing this will fail it's MOT

was this to me ??? £18 I don't think is expensive
