Hello!
Picked up a lil XRDT pug this morning. Bought it unseen for about 500euros.
I bought it from an old lady that said she hadnt changed oil on it, because it hadnt used any. So I obviously have to give it a service asap
It makes a ssshb ssshb ssshb sound from the rear right wheel. It increases with speed. its not always there, and turning doesnt affect the sound. Could it be a drum brake issue?
If it was a wheel bearing, would it be very loud when turning and not be as even. The sssshb sound comes in even intervals, like something subs.
Rear wiper does not work. Engine makes a sound, but the wiper is not moving. Thats a good excuse for a delete.
No idea when the cambelt was changed last. Probably have to do that as well. Engine has been changed, so the chassie has gone about 300k, but the engine according to the previous owner has gone a bit over 100k-km. Engine looks very clean, and the previous owner has only had it for a year. So maybe the owner before her did a good job taking care of it. Will have to look for service papers
Future plans:
"cold air" intake. Mostly for the sound, as it wont give me any unicorns. (Can't do it because of new MOT rules)
Boost gauge (Done)
Stage 1
fmic (Can't do it, because of new MOT rules)
Finding new trim that fits under the headlights (Ordered)
Paint bumper in the same colour as the car
fix the broken driver side mirror
Painting some scratches on the body of the car to prevent rust.
Here is a couple of crappy phone pictures
