Not much to update.

 

I'm been looking at lowering the car for a while but haven't been sure to which springs I should go with. I was going to go shocks as well, but as the car isn't going to be tracked ever I thought springs would be fine.

 

The choices I narrowed it down to were Eibach Pro or H&R.

 

I've gone with the H&R basically down to the stance of the rear end; to me (personal opinion) the back end looks too high with the Eibachs.

 

I've placed a order today with Damian @ DPM for the H&R springs  :p

Good choice, I'm glad I went for H&R. Get some pictures when they are fitted

Had about a week with an open cone filter and now back to the Airbox with pipercross filter. The whoosh sound was pretty sweet for a while but definitely heat soak city. I will stick with the Airbox from now on me thinks

I didn't like the whoosh noise after a week or two so back to standard air box with flap cut out and made mod to the front grill for more air. Car drives better than ever

It sounded a bit chavy for me after a couple of days with it on and prefer the OEM look under the bonnet.

 

I'll await my H&R springs to arrive next, may order the rear ARB too.

 

Can you recommend a place to get them fitted with good rep?

I agree with the chavvy noise was fun for a day then got annoying, as for fitting I don't know sorry I fitted these myself. Awesome GTI of course but they are miles away.

After selling the monte to free up some cash I had my mind set on a mk1 Vrs as a cheap replacement. I picked up an 06 plate for 2k with 124k on the clock with full service history. It needed a little TLC here and there initially, but after a machine polish it came up quite well.

 

When I was cleaning out the interior I noticed the rear carpets were damp so set about fixing them with some plumbers gold. Its since rained heavily here in sunny Wales and the door seals are bone dry.

 

After a scan with VCDS it was flagging up a Camshaft Position Sensor error (seems to be very common). £15 ebay purchase for a new sensor and cleared the error code.

 

The rear lights are brand new as the previous owner had sprayed them quite dark and wasn't a fan.

 

The rear bench has been removed, covers stripped and machine washed and now look a hell of a lot better than they did. I have also wet vac'd the other seats. 

 

Pollen filter replaced in the cabin (one taken from car was bogging!)

 

New OEM paper air filter

Future plans

 

Adjust actuator as when logging requested boost the duty cycle was a bit on the high side

 

I've ordered the EGR gasket to fix the BLT hesitation. Whilst fitting the gasket I will carry out the "Mr Muscle" fix on the turbo

 

Clutch/DMF 

 

FMIC - Hybrid turbo

 

I may just maintain the car and sell it to purchase a car with the bits already on, will have to see how it goes

The wheels are in a definite need of refurbishment (badly sprayed by the previous owner also). The tyres are also a mis-match of various makes

I've also coded :-

 

Anti Hijack

One button unlock all doors

4 blinks on the indicator convenience

 

I did have the alarm chirp for lock/unlock but it soon became a bit annoying

Cars looking good. Black and dark wheels are a winning combo.

Can you code things with the lite version?

Your car is looking very good value for the money. Sometimes you're better off buying something with all the parts on as the cost is huge when starting from standard. Though on the swing you know what has been done to your car, or not so to speak. Either way good start and car looks great!

I have VAGCOM which works (with older cars) used for the coding. I use VCDS lite for logging as its newer but you cant code with th free version

The car paint was like running your hand over fine grit paper when I picked it up.

After claying the whole car it was onto the machine polisher (porter cable)I went for a more heavy than normal polish first, Poorboys SSR3 followed by Menzerna Intensive polish / final finish. Finished of waxing with two coats of colanite 915.

There are areas that would benefit from a respray (bumper in particular), but I'm happy for know with the end result.

Guys,

 

I've gotta question for you all...

i have recently upgrade my BCM to the 6r7 937 087m version (PQ 25) to support Cruise Control and retrofitted CCS and got it working.

 

I now want to upgrade my key to a key fob with remote. Now my car came with central locking as standard (its a Skoda Fabia - TDI, type 2, 2011).

I've searched a lot and cannot figure out which part no. will be required to retrofit this too (i dont want to add any aftermarket system).

 

Now from what i've also read is that in the newer cars the BCM replaces the CCM and the BCM should support the upgrade. So assuming this is the case, all i need is a key fob, a skoda OEM transmitter and code it to the BCM using VCDS?

 

Anyone, know what needs to be done?

 

Cheers,

Aayush
