@@NorthCoastWorkshop no worries! Just found your channel, nice to see a fellow northern Scot on here. If you do try trimming again, you can get foam backed fabrics (5mm/6mm is close to oem), you’ll need to fully remove the old foam first but it should get you an even better finish than you got with this. The stuff you used is more for sofas

I see, yeah not far really, from where I stay out in the sticks here 😅 Let me know how it goes with the MK5 GTi. And yeah I think a lot find my channel through the TFSI platform rather than the MK2 Leon. Identical under the bonnet. Best of luck with the car mate 👍🏻

It makes me sad that your channel is so underrated. There is good information about the mk2 cupra/ea113 tfsi, good mix in information and nice carshots, good sense of humor. I dont know enything to improve. The only thing i can imagine is that there are not so much Leon Cupra mk2 drivers out there. But i enjoy your clips. Thanks for making them. Greetz from Holland!

Very kind words from you Tim 🙏🏼 I do try my best but I can always improve and I'm trying to keep in mind that I need to broaden my videos to incorporate 'car lover's' and not just 'Leon lover's'. But my subscribers are a great bunch of enthusiasts that I'm happy to have more join gradually and keep such a close community 😊

Yeah give it a go, works really well if you can find a similar colour theme/fabric to the interior. And yeah battery issues usually appear this time of the year, the cold weather slowly kills them off if they are already a few years old. Mine is showing signs of fading slightly too 🙈

Hi mate. Love your vids. My MK2 Leon is suffering from damp/water ingress in the driveside rear footwell. Any idea what could be causing it?
@NorthCoastWorkshop
Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words Cass! The door seals are bad for going on the MK2's, or the drain holes in the doors, may be blocked with dirt or debris, and allowing water to build up inside the door slightly (but that's not very common) If it's the back footwell on the drivers side, check that no carpet is wet in the boot as well, as sometimes the rear lights seals can fail, water then runs in behind them, into the boot floor, under the rear seats and into a footwell. Has the car been de- wipered on the rear? If so, is the washer hose still occasionally pushing out washer fluid? Sadly so many areas to check, hopefully that helps a bit though. Being able to trace back the direction it's originally coming from will help identify the issue that's causing it 👍🏻

If you've done modifications before, there's no harm in giving it a go 👍🏻 Any spray contact adhesive, or hi-tac adhesive works well, but can be messy. There's a few tutorials on KZitem about covering things in material.

I usually really like your vids but I can not understand how you could spend so much on that engine cover, yet cheap out so much on the mods you did on the door cards (you went with el wire of all things instead of a nice fiber kit,and now with that material that doesn't match neither the texture of the original leather nor the pattern) and these you see everyday... On the bright side the video edit quality has gone up tremendously

Hi Vincent. To be honest the engine cover was fairly cheap (54 quid all in) compared to other options available, and yes I do admit I cheaped out on on the door cards, but I didn't think it looked too bad for the money I actually spent. I try to keep mods on my channel at a reasonable price, so as it's more realistic for viewers to be able to afford and try themselves. I wasn't aware of the fibre kits I'm afraid, and the seats were a hard thing to match, though annoyingly I did see a better suited leather later on, while editing/gathering screenshots for the video. I appreciate the feedback though, as it helps me improve for future videos hopefully. Cheers Vincent 👍🏻
