Hi my names Ross.

 

Im going to try and log some of my progress with my vrs 2008 cr170 pre F-L

 

Since purchase ive had a fair few niggles which ive failed with the seller to correct. Nasty Dealers!

 

N/S/R door lock

Aircon leak

Rear shocks

Possible wheel bearing

Blocked rear jet [fixed]

Wiperblades [fixed]

Rear taillight bulb error fault 

EGR and throttlebody cleaned[do this to all my new cars]

Rear brake shields fell off

Heater has a mind of its own

 

I have done a few upgrades just cheap ones

 

Hid-London colour with vcds coding.

Osram bulbs all round

LED interior bulbs

RamAir panel filter

Handbrake ribbon

Fixed a few exhaust shields.those clips are useless.

 

Its begging for a good detail,another reason ive not got alot of pictures atm.

Its full of tar and road grime,living rural and tractors in out the fieldscombined with weather is becoming

a nightmare.

Soon as i get a chance the clay n lube will be out along with the DA....

Im new to the skoda scene,ive come from an Audi A4 avant

Is the snot from the rear wiper? Any idea why it has gone so thick or am I being?

I think its down to the previous owner using different brands of screen wash.There was alot of it,i got the mrs catching it in a jug.

Enviroment and that aye

How did you get it out?

Just used the stalk with the jet off,when it stopped coming out i topped up with water and kept at it for a few mins,not constant short blasts.

Then put genuine screen wash in from TPS.

I stuck half a bottle in and topped up with water,this way if im away from home i can just add water.£3.50 a tub.

All that wiper talk...guess what packed up this morning,rear wiper motor!

 

Headlights arrived  

 

Ill just pop this here as it took some finding lol

You sir are a hero

You said you wanted bi-xenon headlamps, they are just singles...

You cant buy bi-xenon headlights,it will have to be a retrofit,so any headlight will do....ill use my originals to experiment on what housing/projectors to use.

Think your confused with term "BI" xenon...it don't mean you have 2 projectors,it means it uses the same bulb for both high and low beam.

I could just pop in a new shield which pops down,but i want the best output.so new lenses bowls ect will be different too.
