2005 Frozen White Fabia VRS

What size aux belt did you go for Steve? Or is it still on your list to sort out

[Skoda_Saint]

This one was used by someone else so I think I'll start with that and go from their.

Oil cooler now fitted, so hopefully no more sky high oil temps.

[Dark_Hero]

Ill have to check out the setup when I next see you Steve

[Skoda_Saint]

Any time Charlie I saw 130 temp at Coombe and thought no way I'm pushing more.. chill to 100 push some more then chill when it got back up. I'd hate to guess what everyone else temp was, I didn't want the risk. Battery mod hopefully next... maybe air box and air con mod as well before Rockingham.

I have a 970mm belt, so hopefully that will be ok for the aircon removal. Let me know how the battery relocation goes too, that would be interesting

Turbo off some for some nice TLC, should be back on the car by the end of next week all going well.

[Skoda_Saint]

Turbo rebuild on schedule, need to check air intake pipes for some light debris but should be alive again no later than Saturday!

Looks lovely mate, did you take aircon out too? Was it just a refurbed turbo to same spec?

Thanks Trev! Air con still in at the moment idea was to get her mobile again as quick as possible but still planned. It will probably happen when I take the battery out and move to the boot.

 

It was my turbo repaired, so exactly same spec as before. Could've gone larger compressor housing but money not quite there at present and she is quite fast as is. Time to make some more subtle improvements which enhance the car.

 

At some point new LEDs in the dash is on the cards. Then once completed I may do a Taylor and sell it LOL.

This is such a great car mate. I love it.

May I ask where you got the braided hoses from ?

Oh yeah, and vac pipes as I've been after blue for ages. Didn't know what to buy
