Couple of days on the tools..
Got around to fitting some coilovers I bought on the 10/09/2014 off antihero300.
Also fitted some r32 brakes.
Worst thing is I did the left side first and when I moved to the right side found the outer cv boot had just let go.
So that will be next.
Big day today. Did the timing belt, water pump, thermostat and DSG fluid change. A lot of up and down off the floor but we got there in the end. Huge thanks to Gav, once again he was a machine and never fails to smash any project out of the way.
Edit: the no 1 plug was faulty, ****e of a job figuring it out..
Vcds error : cylinder 1 missfire moved to slot 4
Vcds error : cylinder 4 missfire
Removed and replaced r8 coil 4 with stock coil
Fitted new plugs and coils last night.
Old ones:
Cylinder 1 coil pack had a big tear in the rubber at the top, right under the coil unit. So I assume this is where it was leaking spark and causing miss-fires. Plug on Cylinder 1 was also noticeably dirtier than the others.
Re-installed with Bosch plugs, and Red "R8" Coils from BMR AW:
Only odd thing is they don't seem to sit down quite as flush to the top of the valve cover. But otherwise looks good
And runs nice and smooth now.
