plans are to give it a good service and a remap, possibly lower it but only a bit, oh and get rid of the sh!tty plastic wood on the inside. its like an old rover :sick:
-
Looks really nice, will be ace with a remap.
-
terrific stuff! :cool:
i thought you liked the pug? :laugh:
-
i liked the 60mpg, thats about it
the moment of realisation happened when i pulled up at lights behind another silver 206, then another one pulled up next to us. I was actually embarassed of other drivers looking at me :grin:

aaah pug envy!! :grin:
just noticed from the photos that you're VERY tall!! :laugh:
-
Nice..... I had a pug once, I sold it when there was nothing left to fall off. :grin:
-
well as it goes the pug did 12k in 6 months without issue, the mk4 on the other hand needed a new rad 2 weeks after purchase :grin:

I blame that on the previous owner.

Nice car this. Deffo a step up from the french banger. Now get those Coilovers off your sisters MK4!!!!!

-
Ace! Good luck with it - would love one, but insurance is too hefty at the moment so keep looking at PD 130's
-
Nice car Mark.
-
:cool:
what mpg are you getting out of it?
-
high 40's mostly, on a roads.

it's the only way for a daily these days!... sad isn't but at least diesels have advanced over the years and I like your choice. Mines not a dub but at the moment its quicker than the golf and does nearly 3 times the mileage per gallon when driven the same way! :shocked:
-
i like this, not a fan of mk4s to be honest but lowered they start to appeal to me, i can see this lowered
-
small update, I have changed the plates and put the correct badge on the back. the old plates were a bity messy looking

I suppose I better start washing it properly now.
Since the last update I have also replaced most the wood trim with base spec black trim , fitted some eibach springs and replaced a load of the bushes on it.
-
Looks sweet mate.
-
Nice photos :grin:
-
cheers, took them on my phone :grin:
-
:grin:
-
Looks very nice and clean :afro:
-
looks niiiiiiice! :cool:
-
Looks really good Mark :smiley:
-
Thanks mate, scrubs up ok doesn't it :laugh:
-
Yep, if you ever need any help with anything, don't forget i'm only up the road :smiley:
-
egr binned, shiney delete pipe fitted :cool:
there was quite a lot of sh!t in the inlet :sick:

That is a lot of sh!t!

Nice looking car mate I just had tp replace my EGR I was going to delete it but wasnt sure how to and someone said it causes the engine managment light to come.Car looks very clean though :wink:
-
from what i have read, up to 52 plate the light deffo won't come on. 03 onwards it might come on but mine hasn't touch wood. Feels a bit livelier now and is a lot nicer pulling from low revs but i put that down to the inlet diameter previously being reduced by about a third by all that crap
-
you know how small jobs turn into big ones...
well the rear washer was leaking behind the c pillar. I took it off in my lunch break and decided it would be a good idea to remove the headlining and all the cream bits and spray them black at the same time :evil:
autoglym black dye spray should be turning up tomorrow so that's my lunchtime project sorted for the next week!
-
Be interested to see how it turns out! Hate our cream / grey headlining

really wouldnt bother with the dye mate! i wasted £30 on the stuff, it just staid grey :\
iv satin blacked mine and it looks good!
-
as in satin paint?
its ordered now so ill see how it comes out first, dark grey is better than cream!
-
i used simoniz satin spray paint worked a treat :smiley:
-
yeah paint! i used the dye ur getting! i guess its a good base for the satin to go on to :cry:
-
the dye seems ok so far! the only trouble is its taken 3 cans to do the a and b pillars :grin:
-
so, I switched over to paint after I worked out how much it would cost in dye :shocked:
(http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/751/imag0296vb.jpg)
all the fabric is done minus the door seals, and still have the plastics to do, but will do these one at a time over the next month or so when i'm bored on lunchbreaks. Its a weird mod, when it was all cream it annoyed me but now its black I don't notice it :grin:
-
Headling looks good every Golf ive had I said I would do it but could never be bothered maybe ill give it ago on my wagon but think I would try a different colour yours is looking good :wink:
-
hmm any pics of the 206 i have a coupe cabriolet and its one of the most reliable cars i have had :drool:
-
Hell no!
-
hell yeah lol :smug:
-
so, i have been having boost leak issues for ages now. It started with the pancake to i/c pipe wearing out, pipe replaced, then the cold side of the i/c pipe wore out, pipe replaced, then the i/c outlet cracked! so its been zip tied together for a while now pissing out air.
queue a new intercooler, sfs pipe ends, and some jb weld :evil:
(http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/9810/imag0298n.jpg)
I cleaned up the surfaces to be glued and sandblasted them at work, and left them in some acetone so there would be as good a bond as possible.
tada!

(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/7068/imag0303k.jpg)
so the only sh!tty clipped join is the turbo outlet now, hope that one doesn't leak! i'll fit it all on saturday
oh, and last week the clutch slipped a few times :cry: haven't even remapped the bloody thing
-
thats a fair sized intercooler.
-
its the standard one!
-
really. thats a nice sized standard item then :laugh:
-
Would be interesting to see how big mine is. OOOooohhh er!
nick
-
intercooler envy :grin:
it will be who's diesel smokes the most next!
-
wooo! no more boost leaks :smiley:
goodbye smoke, welcome back easy overtaking and 50mpg :cool:
-
Good news :cool: So next up clutch then REMAP...... :evil:
How much did the intercooler cost you? :lipsrsealed:
-
it will be who's diesel smokes the most next!
nope, that prize goes to smokey steve :grin:
-
will have to find the reciept but think it was just shy of £300 :sick:
next up is dampers, which don't really damp much anymore, have my eye on some billy b4's to go with the eibach springs
hoping i can put the clutch off for a while after seeing the cost of the sachs performance ones :shocked: it seems to be manageable atm! Basically it just means there's a certain hill on my way to work i can't overtake up anymore.
But if the clutch gets changed it would be rude not to remap it :evil:
new front assembly-
(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/1436/imag0306q.jpg)
goes here-
(http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/8/imag0305x.jpg)
air con needs regassing now :angry:
-
No point buying a sachs performance clutch if your only going for a remap. my standard clutch last over 70k after having my car mapped and died at 144k.
I still got my sfs kit sat here waiting to go on...... Might do it next year sometime :lipsrsealed: :grin:
-
oh really! i was under the impression it was needed
how much are the standard ones?
-
I paid £325 for a sachs clutch kit and sachs flywheel.
Its not needed, especially at the price they charge for them now :sick: Its needed if you're going hybrid but not for just a map
-
gotcha
it deffo won't be getting more than a map, just want to put the bigger brakes on it now and maybe a front arb to go with the eibach rear, oh and a tt rack would be nice :grin:
-
And fix everything that breaks in-between........ :lipsrsealed: :grin: :grin:
-
yep that too :grin:
top spec mk5 diesels need to get cheap quicker! :laugh:
-
it will be who's diesel smokes the most next!
nope, that prize goes to smokey steve :grin:
:grin:
Still a heavy smoker is it?....
-
mine smoked a treat when it blew the hose off the egr delete today :grin:
-
gave it a good wash today before the hosepipe ban :laugh:
(http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/9697/dsc05940r.jpg)
also have some bilstein b4's and new top mounts to fit over easter :smiley:
-
(http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2401/imag0318d.jpg)
:shocked:
-
45mpg in mine lately
-
normally get 48-52 but the rain slowed the traffic a bit lol
-
pffft is that all :rolleyes: :grin:
-
Nice thread going mate. Looks awesome after Guy sorted it, what 'package' did you opt for?
Did you fit the pipe work your self? If so what kit etc, or was it a made up custom kit?
:smiley:
-
cheers, yeah its the take out the swirl marks package whatever that is :grin: Guy's work is top class though, all I do is wax it every couple of months now and it still looks awesome. The bastard made me buy a sheepskin mit to wash it though :laugh:
Sfs pipework throughout, yep fitted it myself. Still need to get round to making some better fixings for it as you lose all the mounting points as per the original pipework. It also makes the pancake pipe have some weird resonance that is a bit annoying with the window down. Might try sticking a bit of sound deadening on it.
if you want to go with the sfs, quote uk mk4's and get a 25% discount :wink:
-
:smiley: The sheep skin mitts really make a difference from cleaning it with the standard (http://www.kehoemarine.ie/product_images/w/006/wire-brush__54417_zoom.gif) eh :wink: :grin:
The SFS pipe is on my list...I will replace the standard pancake pipe with one from the 1.8T, I helped my bro do this on his 130 and it such a better piece of kit, just joined it with some silicone. You mention weird ressonance, I'm sure someone else said about this in some thread a while ago...interesting :huh:
Thanks for the tip, but I'm on ukmkivs so I didn't need your help :tongue: :evil:
What is next on your list mate? :smiley:
-
yeah its weird, its not vibrating or rubbing on anything but if you put the lightest pressure on the back of it with your finger it stops :laugh: haven't heard about the 1.8t pancake pipe but will have a look into it!
next mod will probably be a 23mm front arb, which i believe is the r32 one, and whenever that gets done put the tt bushes on the sub frame.
oh and forgot the good news, clutch slip has dissapeared :laugh: its healed itself!!!! :evil: don't want to upset things so the remap has been removed from the list of things to do (booooo!)
-
Interesting...
http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/t/413937.aspx?PageIndex=1
I know the above will be different for the 150's but replacing the pancake pipe should be similar!! The size difference is amazing as well!!
Change the clutch for a standard one, smash the remap...The difference is ridonkulous!
-
cheers, yeah its the take out the swirl marks package whatever that is :grin: Guy's work is top class though, all I do is wax it every couple of months now and it still looks awesome. The fatherless son made me buy a sheepskin mit to wash it though :laugh:
