Wheel refurb discount need I feel :-)

[Predator_R32p]

Well few more things bought today

Leon cupra splitter (not my car)



Audi tt jacking/lift kit (basically easier way of jacking car up withouth damaging sills and easier to put an axle stand under)




Vagcom was ran today too, picked up faults ive known about but said exactly what they were so im pretty impressed with it, abs sensor on drivers side needs changing and also the starter unit for the xenon on passenger side

Other than that its just the clunking that needs sorting out and cruise fitting

[Predator_R32p]

Damn awesome are out of stock of jacking point kit nevermind

think im now 99% sure its the top mount bush and bearings gone so im gonna have to change them theyre doing my head in and i cant wait until i buy kws as ill be going insane

[Furio-92]

I like the Cupra spiller, suits the golf well.

[leeroybrown]

Where did you get the cupra r thing from?

[Predator_R32p]

Cheers bud i think it does probs the worst thing i did was to cut the splitter off kinda miss it although it was scraped to hell and replacements are about 200 quid as its an undertray too

Got it from awesome lee

[CraigLovelock]

Just seen you have a clunking noise?

My TT had decided to break on weekend causing it too clunk and make some strange noises when rolling or off accelerator.

Dont know if it sounds same as yours haha?

[Predator_R32p]

you can try top mount rubbers, basically open bonnet and turn wheel if there moving with the wheels then more than likely theyre shot, apparently its a common problem and they go through them a lot, ive checked for uprated ones but to no avail

[-shuggles-]

splitter looks great

[craig180p]

Nice choice of splitter

I need to get me a jacking kit. My sills are fubar'd!

[saxokid100]

Still coming along nice i see........

[Predator_R32p]

Cheers guys

Update time, nearly everythings fitted bar the splitter which ill fit in the morning

Cruise control first, took me damn ages to do had everything done within about 2 hours bar one wire in the fusebox, didnt realise i had to slide the lock out of position and then take the terminal out, its a double lock system, am new to it so noob mistake but now i think i could do the whole thing within an hour very easily

Scuttle panel, wipers, wiper motor off to get to wiring plugs




Didnt get anymore pictures really, just activating it with vag com and auto scanned everything and both abs sensors have now gone, will change them when i do top mounts though




Cruise control light on, tested and i like it a lot



Once id done that i decided to do the TT jacking points, they were pretty easy to install with some aid of some washing up liquid, i also had to cut away some of the underseal to get them to go in properly

tools of the trade



Used the jack to pop the middle part into the cup and to make it stay in hole



Front



Rear



Next up as said is splitter tommorrow and needs a good clean she deserves it

Another update

Splitter is on, only took me about half an hour to fix it on, i used the undertray where the old splitter attached onto and used most of the screws that held the tray on to fix the cupra splitter on plus a few more, i think it really suits it though makes the car look lower and looks so mean at the front, for 30 quid im more than happy




Next up is wheel refurb and top mount bush's and bearings to be renewed

[Predator_R32p]

Update time

First thing was to sort the knocking out and i out it down to the top mounts, bush wasnt too bad but was still about 10mm of difference and the bearing on drivers side was really knackered

First time doing suspension on the golf so took a lil longer than say working on a saxo lol had both sides done withing about 5 - 6 hours that includes abs sensors that didnt want to come out so had to fully take brakes apart to knock them out



All fine after a test drive and knocked off the ABS fault codes with vagcom, car feels so much better to drive just need to sort the rear bushes out now, hopefull a bit of spray grease will sort them out though

Next up i decided to replace all the interior bulbs with leds, oh and the numberplate ones too, 14 bulbs in total but make the car look ten times better im well happy with them




Before dull looking



After so modern







And went through about 3 fuses doing this lol

[Jay_]

suprising how much difference LEDs make! Can you just swap them straight in on a saxo, or is there lots of faffing involved?
