Not really, was more just for peace of mind that it was done and good for another 30,000 miles or so 👍🏻

No probs at all 👍🏻 glad to hear it worked for you 😊

Appreciated 😊

The door sill stickers are just a handful of things from eBay. Carbon effect door sill stickers, a Cupra sticker, then in my instance a VW Golf R sticker 👍🏻

Did it myself 😊if you want to give it a go too, the video for it is here ruclips.net/video/g2UQnX1BcFQ/видео.html

Is your one a UK spec car? I think some different versions were available depending what countries sold them. UK cars didn't offer the Cupra R with side skirts from the factory sadly.

@@NorthCoastWorkshop yes I spaced it out when I bought it has side skirts everything except the door cards that you have are different looking for an armrest can’t really find any

@@NorthCoastWorkshop what mileage is your car now

Ah I didn't realise it could be spec'd on them, my mistake. My car has just hit 110,000 miles last week 🙈

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment on the video. Where roughly do you live on the route? Day 2 and day 3 finishing off the complete NC500 are live on the channel if you want to see the rest of the adventure. We absolutely loved it!! Was way better than we could have ever imagined, and a brilliant experience that now lives on RUclips forever 😊

Nice one!! 🔥K1's getting super rare nowadays, so good job getting a hold of one.👌🏻

Sounds like a very rare purchase Tim, as I'm sure the 550's are a special edition of some sorts. And you're very welcome, cheers for the very kind words 😊👍🏻

Zero would be too thin for the engine. The first number is how thin it is when cold, and at zero, older engines wouldn't have sufficient protection when starting cold, and components would wear out extremely quickly. Newer engines have been designed with tolerances to handle thinner oil, like 0w20. Having 5w30 in ur engine means once ur up to operating temperature, the oil is thinner than if you had 5w40 in at the exact same temperature. Hope that makes sense 👍🏻

@@NorthCoastWorkshop I only just bought the car and put in VW 507 - 5w30 because it was the most common result when searching which oil I needed, but now I see there's a VW approved 507 - 0w30, so I'm thinking there seems to be only positives in choosing the latter next time. But I've got plenty of time to think about it.

I'm not too sure I'm afraid. Are they genuine SEAT led taillights? I take it you mean the bright brake lights up lit up even when the brake isn't activated? So the bright and dim rear lights are working back to front in a way.

Let me know how u get on Alex 👍🏻 Updated video below, 👇🏻 with the back door method included too if you ever need to check back ok it ruclips.net/video/VnzBmuJu_n4/видео.html

Your MK3 sounds like it was a weapon 💪🏻🔥 And your MK2's registration looks familiar. I'm sure a lot of the early press release cars were KS10 reg's. Great taste in cars you have 😁👍🏻 What Alfa do u have now?

You'd have to check the GFB website to see if your vehicles engine is listed, as I'm not 100% sure

Good shout Alex 👍🏻 I wouldn't trust myself in keeping the yellow trim clean enough 😅 so I settle for boring plain black mats now 🤓

Let me know how it goes, the full how to vid can be found here if you haven't already seen it 👍🏻 ruclips.net/video/VnzBmuJu_n4/видео.html

Thank you 😊🙏🏻

It's from a company called Creation Motorsport 👍🏻

🙏🏻

Yes!! 😊 A true LCR fan like myself!! 😁 Really I should have had at least "10 annoying things about this car!" 😂😂

Whenever the Mrs has been sat in the car I need to lean over and raise it afterwards!! Does my head in 😂😂

Yeah the armrest design was a strange one, but it definitely looks good and is handy to have. You spec'd a £100 investment back then 😂 they're silly money nowadays!!! 🙈 And excellent points you made throughout Rob. As for sound I had a much better clip of it popping a little more and sounding a bit more aggressive, but during the edit I realised I hadn't recorded any sound 🙈 so a last minute clip from my NC500 road trip where I was revving the Cupra in a car park 😂

😂😂😂 wish I wasn't right, but yeah they give you plenty of practice at working on DIY mechanical skills 😂🙈

😊👍🏻Thank you, and no I'm sorry I don't play PubG, or have a Gaming PC. Occasionally play cod on the PS5, but even then that's not very often these days 😔

I think you're the 1st viewer to ever comment 'first' as well 😅 congratulations 👏🏻🎉😁

That's a very strong combination, but I'd suggest the following.... If your car is running standard tune/boost then a revision G is perfectly adequate and definitely an upgrade from the C or D revisions. If you have a tuned car or plan to tune it, and increase the boost, a GFB DV+ will be the perfect upgrade, make sure u buy it from a trustworthy site, and it can be combined with the solenoid of your current diverter valve, no matter what revision it is, as long as the solenoid part is working. It's not necessary to buy a upgraded diverter valve as well, just to rob the solenoid from it. Hope that helps a bit 👍🏻

​@@NorthCoastWorkshopThank You for your reply. My car has a hybrid turbo and is on the stage3 map. My current dv rev D. valve. D has a plastic piston, it probably has a pressure leak at the beginning in the low rpm range. Dv rev. G is an old version with a rubber piston - they are tight but are often damaged. I ordered gfb dv+, I will mount it to my rev D and I will share information on how it works. Best Regards😊

No problem at all, and yes let me know how u get on it 👍🏻 Sounds like you have quite a car as well 💪🏻😎🔥

​@@NorthCoastWorkshopI need your help. I installed dv+, there is a significant improvement in acceleration response. The problem is the "foal:-) " sound of the air being released. Such psssytytyty! Does it damage the turbo rotor? I don't know if I can drive like that?

It's just the way they operate and the sound is a product of how they sit in that sweet spot for better response. My one does it and I've just gotten used to it, but if it's something you can't live with day to day, a standard DV may be the only solution. There's arguments on both sides whether it is fine or does do any damage to the turbo. I have had no issues whatsoever for the past 3 years of mine, but that's not me offering any guarantee for other owners I'm afraid.

I'm glad the video was of use to you Mark 😊 and glad to hear ur hanging on to your Cupra a wee while longer 😅 All the best with the upgrades, and let me know how you get on 👍🏻

@@NorthCoastWorkshop yes. Just found a tuning company not a million miles from me. Just getting prices. Like the styling on your Cupra. 👍

Thanks mate, it's my pride and joy 😁 Looking forward to hear what you do with your one. If you want to show it off, I'm always looking for car features for my free monthly newsletter 😉

If they stay on for 5 seconds consistently then turn off I'd say that's the cars electronic system taking control of that.

@@NorthCoastWorkshop Yeah I got it figured. It was the canbus-system not liking my non canbus led.

Ah, that's great to hear Kevin!👍🏻 Yeah I have a red one fitted now and isn't too bad. Mostly the vibration is when reversing up off my driveway. Out the road it's all good though.

Ah that's excellent, great to hear and thank you for watching the video 😊👍🏻

🙏🏻 thank you Tim 😊

I'm not sure on the other specs you listed, but as long as it states the 505.01 spec for your TDI, that oil should be fine to use. 507 would be for your engines fitted with a DPF which I guess the MK4 never had

I think the 205 TD was placed way up the leaderboard out of sight!! 😅 Maybe a stage 2 and I'd have a better chance!! 💪🏻

Good to know Peter, cheers 👍🏻 Is this for a strimmer or similar powered machinery?

@@NorthCoastWorkshop NEVER use regular petrol for making a 2 stroke mix. I have damaged 4 machines in the 2 years, that I have been using mixture made with regular petrol.

Sorry to hear that they've caused that issue, but glad the vid helped a bit with diagnosing the issue u were having. Hopefully it all gets sorted for you mate 🤞🏻

Confession..... I've still not edited and put it together to release yet I'm afraid 🙈 I have all the footage, I just need to knuckle down and get it done. It will be a video at some point, just that other filming and editing got in the way, so left it on the hard drive for the moment 😅

I've been told they do have to match exactly yes,

Go on, buy one back mate..... One of us, one of us!! 😅

@@NorthCoastWorkshop 😂😂😂

Thanks mate 😁👍🏻 And yeah the 1.8's aren't talked about as much and have limited mods available. A pretty much standard practice for a little extra power from any Turbo engine is a free-er flowing exhaust system, air intake where universal, made to measure, or adapted from a 2.0 and "made to fit", with a remap done on the car afterwards. If u have a reputable nearby tuner with a rolling road, they should definitely be able to get you a good few extra BHP than standard. There will be a limitation to what the internals of ur engine can handle, so if you are looking for big gains, a change of engine is the next expensive step sadly.
