mattarosa Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Been busy since I last updated, the banger had its gearbox selector shaft seal replaced as it wasn't really sealing anything. The garage also found that there was a hole in a brake servo vacuum pipe, the gearbox end cap was porous and the exhaust backbox wasn't doing much so all those have been replaced with genuine parts for the exchange of £200 to the dealers... and then the old man bought some Xenon bulbs for it just to copy me. Mine now has black seats... Well black seat covers, really happy with how they fit, i'll get pictures uploaded when I can be bothered and when my dads not washing the S3 so all in good time.

mattarosa Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Mine had it done, they do feel slightly sharper to change gear, "they all leak from the factory I think" this was the head mechanic at the dealership I go to. "you name it Lupos, Arosas, Golfs, Polos, the vans everything has a leaking gearbox selector shaft seal" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarosa Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Want to get them back to oem quality of finish, otherwise I would, so it's refurb, new centres and then new tyres and then a trip to see skezza! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I guess with a pro refurb they'll weld them. Can't wait to see them mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I would have just put them on but my old man says get them returned before I put them on, makes sense but I won't tell him that. Thinking next week get them done then the week after get tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
