My 1.8T
« on: 01 October 2012, 18:24 »
Bought a couple of weeks ago.








Found burst breather hose - replaced

Got a leak at Coolant Temp Sensor Housing and getting the 16500 error - bought new housing, clip and o ring for sensor, g13 coolant and awaiting delivery of my sensor- green top

Suspect secondary air pump or starter - weird squeal on start up - once ive sorted coolant side doing this

Started stripping interior trim - going to paint candy white

Bought spray dye so i can spray inside cloth black and spruce up the seats

alloys im shot blasting then repairing then spraying - was going to spray them white, but then decided metallic black

calipers going white

once christmas is out of way changing front and rear bumper for r32 style

chip repair then respray still in candy white white black highlights / grills

Once all thats done and interior and exterior done ill be starting on the works

Need some info on exhaust - if my cats alright can i buy a mid and end and just attach them on

I want a low stiff ride, whats the best budget suspension

Already got dump valve and intake

Now if i want to replace all bushings etc what i am lookin at and how much.
