Looks good mate, would tar and glue be any good for the sealant ?

I use what's called sky wipes to get sealant off, brilliant things. Your not to far from me if you want a tub of them.

 

im across the road in tynant / beddau

Might take you up on that its only a small bit im hoping i can pick it off with my nail, Is that the same stuff they would use in a coach/body builders?

[Alexh4551]

I use them on all vehicles, there normally used on aircraft. Great for cleaning your hands as well.

I put a tub in the boot of my car just incase you want it.

Looks really good, do you have a link for it

[JimboVRS]

Looks really good. A pro couldn't have done a better job.

How the car should have looked when it left the factory.

Off topic - are you missing a valve cap on the rear left?

Thanks mate, really liked the back of the sport before and this is what I'd like to have too

[Jimdiesel]

Heres the link you have to chop off your old tailpipe insert this into the box and weld it in place, Ive seen them as bolt on ones but for some reason the one that fits the 1.6 tdi is weld only

Ah thought it was slide on, still looks good though so still will get it probably.

Thank you

You wouldn't happen to have a link for the tailpipe would you or was it ordered through the dealer?

Gone a bit bulb crazy recently currently upgraded the front and rear indicator bulbs to chrome ones so theres no more egg yolk effect on headlights or tail lights, Also upgraded the sidelight bulbs to single led bulbs with resistors as I find they last longer and dont look like a mini xmas trees in the headlamp plus they match the colour of my hids too. And lastly ive fitted mtec chrome style super bright drls as the leds had failed again lol look good very blue tho 

 

On top of the cob led festoon number plate lights and 6k hid kit already fitted

Sidelights and hids

Recently got this thing mapped after suffering from a stuck open egr and it was well and truly clogged!

 

Its a complete animal in comparison to before too which is nice, Although leaves me wanting more

 

Bigger intercooler next?

[Richard92]

That does look clogged. Bigger intercooler didn't seem to make much difference to mine. As it was already mapped it just helps with temps really. But always good to have it I guess, spoke to Superchips this week and they aren't willing to adjust the map in anyway for me as it isn't tested with more boost or with an egr blank.

[hutchysrs50]

Did you get an EGR blanking plate for the inlet manifold? - where the pipe you pictured joined it.

I'm struggling to find the round type delete, probably end up making my own.

Good luck if you go for an S3 intercooler, it's not a straight fit that's for sure

I figured the yeti type can be had for less than £100 probably £30 from the breakers so not an expensive mod and seeing that a yeti with same engine can achieve more bhp with that being the only difference its worthwhile, Which one did you fit how hard a job was it?

No ive blanked the other end where it goes to the block only theres no flow through it either way but I was looking at darkside egr delete kit it bypasses the egr cooler too not sure if its worth the hassle fitting it though.

Intercooler is currently in the thinking about it stage at the moment lol

[hutchysrs50]

I did look at dark sides to remove it completely but I like the idea of the hot exhaust gasses warming the coolant up so it gets up to temp quicker.

[Jimdiesel]

Is this what your after? Think i might order one myself
