Is it worth getting wishbones sandblasted and refitted or is it just better buying new aftermarket ones? Like Febi
depends if your going to refit with oem bushes or aftermarket like super pro. i got some aftermarket for £40 both sides with bushes in tact.

mk2, many thanks for this information. I have made a complete cleaning in the intake manifold at some time ago and I have deleted the EGR by adding a EGR delete plate. I only don't disconnected the breather pipe. Should I have do it?
But my really question in this topic is about ressonance in my engine in low revs (aprox 2000 revs), and how I can fix that? Like You can see in above pictures, my intake manifold is diferent from the lupos and early 1.9 and 2.0 SDI engines. For example in Your Lupo SDI, you can hear the same ressonance? (I'm asking because in Lupo intake manifold is diferent) I can hear this ressonance since the car was new.
not that this is in anyway linked, but at 2000 rpm on full load going up a hill, my exhaust rattles and seems to hit the gearbox lol.. need to space it somehow

UPDATE:
After fitting those lower suspension arms, and i did comment on how the old ones didnt look too bad.. well after driving the car all this week i can report that the car is soooo different,
its stiffer which it should be, better handling, like the wheel doesnt feel so sloppy
its a great improvement, which i didnt think it needed
cant wait to buy the arb drop links now, which should tighten things up some more. Not sure i can replace much else! haha

Those numbers look fine, your fronts are exactly the same as our Arosa Sport on it's last test and your backs are better. Bare in mind that your total braking efficiency is 73%. It's only a calculation based on the braking force generated and weight of the vehicle. The MOT limit is 50% for these cars so you're well above that.
Thanks. That’s more reassuring.
onto the next thing! Haha!

Better than my SDI no.2 last friday... only 16% efficiency on the back parking brake. I need to investigate...
Mostly new components everywhere in the last couple of years. Even brake fluid. So not sure what the problem is, without a full tear down.
Passed though, like your's.
I got new rear brakes and fluid to go on. Do you think it will help or is this normal.
For me having a car at 44% efficient, isn’t something to be happy about??
I don’t get it. Is this a case of a lightbulb that gives off more heat than light lol

UPDATE:
Hes only gone and PASSED! NO ADVISORIES
Amazing as this is,, i would like to open the floor to explain the brake situation attached image.
It has new front discs and pads as you know... and i have got rear shoes and fluid to do...
It appears the brakes are not working all that well to me ???
please can anyone shed some light???

Air intake sensor, hidden around the back of the pipe on the left? Causes a check engine light...
Been there, done that!
Potentially.
i got it scanned on my thread just haven’t had the chance to go back through it but pretty sure it was manifold yeah

One of my SDI's scraped through only because rear brake efficiency was just above the 16% limit. So that needs investigating... I bet it's stuck adjusters or maybe the compensator. Shoes/cylinders unlikely, as they're new within the last 2 years.
Has anyone ever failed on brake fluid since it came in a couple of years back???
That’s my worry. They need doing I’m sure the fluid hasn’t been changed for a while either.
I think I have been pretty good at fixing most of the issues the car came with so I’m hoping for a clean bill of health.-

UPDATE TIME:
Managed to fit in swapping out the lower suspension arms both sides.
pretty easy job tbh.
the bushes didn’t look too bad but hay ho love a bit a fresh metal.
only thing I need to order now is the arb bushes but I knew that anyway.
MOT time tomorrow!! Wish me luck.
didn’t get around to fitting my rear brakes and fluid but can always do it after unless it fails off course haha.
fingers crossed!

I have an undertray under my SDI. The middle looks like it’s taken a beating but defo protects the underside of the engine

Let me guess.... Bent accelerator pedal?
Just a lose connection to the manifold temperature sensor haha! It was a simple 5 min fix.
but if you know where to look. Which I didn’t. Funny times
