New user from Latvia

[Dreijers]

Hi everyone!

I have been passive user for month or so, but I have decided to go out of closet! 

I have red ph3 2.0hdi sedan with 245k miles on clock! 

I will add pictures later, because I know that you guys like to see the car!

Since, I am student, no big plans for great upgrades, but more like getting all fixed.

Problems, that I have used to
- not heating rear window
- I can stop windscreen wipers where I want
- temp isn't showing correctly
- odometer wont show properly until car has been driven for 30min straight,
- front seats are worn out badly

Things I love
- my car is miles better than any other car on road, because it is mine (also my first)
- it gets really good mileage, and I also think, that diesel tank is a bit bigger than it was originally, because, I can put in around 60ish liters in
- it is easy to park in city

Things I have done recently
- replaced head unit after some guy took mine old out, now sony dsx-a40
- first oil change on a car
- because summer fuel and -15C, fuel filter change on street
- front speaker upgrade pioneer TS-G1722I, sound way better

Things I consider doing
- replace front seats (hard to find good 306 seats in LV), so maybe aftermarket ones
- fix all electrical bugs
- EGR blank, but not sure yet
- scheduled maintenance and maybe bigger wheels R15 or maybe even R16, but since it will be my daily car, R16 wouldn't have enough rubber for "great" Latvian roads.
- stage 1 remap, but engine is probably a bit too old for more power
- floor repair under pedals, because my feet sits on top metal.
- get OBD2 reader to seek faults

Things I will do definetly soon
- scheduled maintenace after 6k miles : all filters (engine oil, air filter, cabin air filter) and oil (engine and gearbox) changes.

thats all for now, will try to get pictures tomorrow!

Welcome along! Always nice to see international members joining up!

A ph3 HDi sedan you say? Sounds nice, definitely looking forward to seeing some pics!

As far as your fuel tank goes, i'm pretty sure they're all 60L tanks anyway, so no bigger than standard, but you will see a good MPG return regardless of how it gets driven, I regularly see 45-50mpg out of mine, and i'm not always hanging around!

Make sure you get a project thread going if you're planning on sticking around, we do enjoy a good project on here!

Hello and welcome

[Dreijers]

Hi again! I've taken some pictures with my blackberry, so quality is far from best!

Maybe someone knows what wheels am I running?

[Jimbo]

Those wheels are harriers and most commonly (in this country) were found on ph1 Dturbos etc.

Nice car and welcome
