Suspension mods ads always a trade off I suppose. Good if your tracking it.
-
I know a few. Very mixed reviews.
Mixed as in how? Like they are great or no difference? Or do they work but make the car rattly and hard?
-
It's worth it if you want them?
-
Yes, use a knuckle joint on the socket. Mine has A/C, but if anything I would have thought that would make changing the thermostat even harder as there are more things in the way.
I did it the same way. Like Rich doesn't know lol. He's probably forgotten more than I know.

Near enough 3 years late.
-
That's sure a hard way of doing it.
-
That's the one.
-
Do it yourself. Have a quick google.
-
Cool. Make a progress thread. Will be interesting. How much have you got done?
£10 anyone?
-
It doesn't matter. But IMO blocking the egr is more important.

Just remember (I'm not bashing you for lowering it's your car after all) but if something is slightly worn lowering makes it much worse and put strain on components.

Hi guys,
I have a 2003 53 Seat Arosa 1.4 TDi AMF.
I need a new fuel tank. Does anyone have a part number or price?
Thanks

I don't know but sometimes garage will fit a generic sensor that needs to be wired and but doesn't always work. Common with lambda sensors. You get wires instead of a connector to plug.
-
Map sensor replaced for a good part? No leaks? As said id check wiring next.

I think it's your inner cv joints to. Lowering out stress on everything espicially at 70mm but usually cv joints, ball joints are driveshafts. Depending on fwd or rwd.
But lowz over driving though. Just wait until whatever breaks. Then you will know what was at fault.
Remember when I posted that. Yeah welcome to the past.

Hmm. I think the terra clean would be overkill. Maybe on a high performance car, but on a Lupo, water injection will completely decarb your engine very quickly.
I could be wrong but terraclean would probably be more relevant on a tdi than a petrol sports car.

I'd put some thick oil in + oil fortifier in and ****ing thrash the arse off it till the engine dies
1.4 16v's are notorious oil burners. They're just not that good an engine in reality (ask Dblock, he's had one, I think). I always think with a car like this, the best you can do is hit it hard till it dies then maybe use it for a conversion like a 1.8T.
Agreed. The "sports" go through oil and petrol like it's going out of fashion. £10 says you will need a new gearbox soon too. Vw quality my foot.

Go sit in a Punto
The Lupo seats are great compared to them lol.I don't think i'd fit!
-
I hated the original seats. They had no bolster and weren't dense enough. The gold seats sorted both problems.
-
I'm sure rich will know but they only way to check if it's the tensioner is if the belt is slack? Otherwise it could be your alt. you probably can buy bearings but you can just send it away for an already refurbed one if you preferred.
-
No usually they bolt in. Boom boom.
I could be wrong but they need a fair bit of modification to get them in. I think it's a swap the seat rails job. But I could be wrong so get a second opinion.
Golf gti seats only need grinding to go in. Mk4 ones anyways.

Ahh I get you. But the high pressure injectors would gum up way before that. There is a way to technically get past that. You can just change your oil ever y1-3k miles. If your super cool you can filter your oil and stick that in your fuel tank and burn that too! I'd only do that in an sdi or similar aged car but I think that's pretty cool.Because oil dilution inevitably occurs and this causes the turbo seals to go.
Are you using rapeseed?

I wouldn't ever run a turbo car on veg. You're asking for a turbo failure
Why?

Ok any mapper in your area will do. They put on the same map but will charge you 3-5x for it.
