Hi guys i'm Sam from Plymouth,
i posted a hello in here a couple of weeks ago, and it's been bloody hectic since!
The turbo on the passat (1.8t) finally died a spectacular death on my partner's parents drive covering the whole street from pavement to roofline in 2 litres on burnt oil being chucked through the exhaust!
So a brand new unit was ordered and the old one taken out while i was waiting.. the wait got the better of me and with 2 weeks off work and the car sitting there anyway i decided to do a few things to the 'ssat...
Full service - existing spark plugs were disgusting and the fuel filter looked as if it hadn't been changed in over 5 years!
New oil feed line for the new turbo ,
Drilled my air box
Badegless grill on the front, de-badged the rear an vinyl wrapped the rear badge in black,
headlight resto, new side repeaters and HID install , LED sidelights, Plasti dipped all of my interior trim black,
Went to the scrappy and claimed a few lost parts like my jacking covers...
New key
New Crankshaft pos. Sensor
and LED rear number plate bulbs....
Oh and the Turbo install!
Next on the list...
Cambelt
New Wheels
Coilovers
and a few other little bits....
My Fjord Blue Build...
