  5. SUNDAY 29TH JULY 2012 DALTON PARK SR7 9HU NEMM Cruise - Be full of randoms but should be there with a few mates.
  6. cheers mr g... think thats what ill be doing then, as it seam a sensible mod. coz i dont fancy filling the bottom of the box full of holes.
  7. that’s the reason im putting the box back in, I clean it every service and it gets hacky as fook down there. its a mission to get off, I’ve got to undo the arch liner.
  8. thats what i thorght, but it seams to be the thing golf owners are doing up in here the north east.
  9. can someone help me.... I’m getting conflicting advice from everywhere. I have a filter relocation kit that takes my jetex filter into the bumper..i'm putting the airbox back in with a panel filter. is there any point in drilling a few extra ventilation holes in the box with a large cold air feed or not???
  10. im confused... my octavia 1.8t normaly runs around 15psi on full boost.. but for some reason when i stick the pedal to the floor, it runs around 20 now. i'm thinking its eather the, boost gauge... vacum leak... or boost control unit.... any other ideas???? befor i start stripin parts down or buy things and find its none of the bove.
  11. i think i saw yours in the camsite... had some1 rote i love men or somthing on your bonnet... i rember a red fab oin the way to the tolet block. with somthing in the dirt on the bonnet.
  12. i got a pic of a white fabia + 2 black ones, a l&k octavia in blue, and a slamd octavia on vet rims out the frunt entrance. sunday was realy good, apart from the wind. im guna try and put some pics up.
  13. im going down with "newcastle style and audio" if anyones there let me know.. mines a black octavia 1.8t l&k. kablam what do you drive? il look out for it.
  14. bosch super 4s all the way... if youve mapped it they are £20 retail, per set but if youve got a trade card for halfrods you can get them for £12 they should be bosch 509 super4s. they last longer fancy Iridium plugs and do the job fine. well they do well in mine and my frends cupra witch are both above 220bhp.
  15. All been realigned and checked... last weekend. it’s only notchy for a few mins before the car warms up... According to Skoda it would be down to the syncro or to the oil degrading in the box but they don’t offer to change it on servicing as in theory it should last the life of the box, but they do admit this isnt always the case. when you put the redline in was it 2.0 liters to fill it???????
