Gibbeth! Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Nice few toys you've got, the remap, cruise control and trip computer. Really classy modified motor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeAl Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I really like the ScanGaugeII! We sell the Race Diagnostics Liquid gauges at work but they currently aren't compatible with the TDI cars I may look into getting a ScanGaugeII for my car!

Lee_ Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 That is pretty smart, looks like it illuminates VW blue aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yeah the blue colour is spot on. A whole bunch of gauges in a neat little package!To elaborate on how I did it, I took a DIN plate, masked up the front and marked out a rectangle 1mm smaller than the dimensions of the Scangauge (to allow for mistakes!) Next I drilled a hole in each corner, put a coping saw through the hole and cut out a rough rectangle. Then I spent ages with a small file making the hole the exact size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesstrutt Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 You have a family of Lupos/Arosas that's awesome and i have the same colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesstrutt Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Also are you on coilovers or just lowering springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Hi, yes I've had a few. My mum had a green SE for 7 years, and I used to have an anthracite GTI at the same time:I sold the GTI to fund an A4 cab and gave the TDI to my mum. Reluctantly we sold the SE. Then about two years after selling the anthracite GTI I bought another one:To answer your question, the TDi was on Eibach springs. However it's now on a H&R comfort kit (in the last pic).I've also fitted a GTI rear beam and polybushed most things since I last updated this thread! The stereo is back to standard now too.

Danyutz Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Since the polybushes discussion is on, the difference in handling/feedback the car gives you is big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Well since this thread has been raised from the dead I may as well post an update.The Eibach springs and Arosa sport dampers were removed and a H&R Comfort Kit (TDI specific) fitted:H&R compared to Eibach/OE combo:Meaty spring compressor... no springs are escaping from this!Had to swap these bits over from the original dampers to keep the dust covers in place:I replaced the front wishbone rear bush, ARB link bushes and rear beam bushes with Powerflex ones. New OEM top mounts and bearings were fitted to the front struts too. New stainless nuts and washers for the ARB link, and zinc plated high tensile bolts for the ball joint mount finished the job off nicely:Replacing the bushes wasn't as difficult as I was expecting. The old parts:The poly bushes do make the car feel very tight to drive. Definitely worth it if you plan on keeping the car for a while. My old ones weren't too bad so it wasn't night and day, but considering their longevity, performance benefits, lack of impact on ride quality, and the fact that they are probably easier to fit than replacement OEM wishbone bushes would be, make them a worthwhile purchase... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I should add, my comments about the bushes are valid as I actually fitted them before I changed the suspension (in the last pic the old strut is visible). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
