OK thought id better get this started seeing as the bora has now gone to car heaven
only one pic of the car the now as not had the time or the weather to get the car properly cleaned up
1 2009 VRS TDI CR. decided to go with the newer CR engine rather than the older PD engines as there seem to be more issues with the DPF on the PD engines as they produce too much smoke and were never designed to run alongside the DPF. there was also the good old injector issues as with the 1.9 PD engine - for those who dont know the 2nd pump in the PD engines is the injector itself.
some work needs done so as its still under warranty then its going into skoda next friday to get looked at. central locking within the car doesnt work and the rear wiper is more temperamental than a woman. it works when its dry but when wet then its a no go, apparently this is a common issue and the best advise is to rip it off and plug the hole up.
OK plans for the car
not that many in reality as this car will be staying nearly standard.
1) remember the w8 interior light in the bora. well the red backlit switches wouldnt go well with the skoda green so one Superb light has been ordered after some difficulty with the parts dept - couldnt give them a reg so they weren't willing to order it up incase it didnt fit. Just need to get some more matt black spray paint then fit
should light up the interior a bit more as its pitch black when driving
2) seat cupra splitter - still not 100% sold on this, does look good
3) set of R32 brakes sitting waiting to be painted from Blue to red, also need to order up the longer brake lines and splash shields. this isnt a massive brembo swap like on the bora simply increasing the piston from 57mm to 59mm and disc size from 312mm to 345mm.
4) Head unit swapped from the standard to the sat nav one if i can find a decently priced one.
5) Pressed plates to get rid of the dealer ones
6) ohh of course a remap

I was under the impression that Skodas are much sort after now!
