Not had the time to scan through all the pages as yet so chances are this has been said before-
You know you have a MK2 Ibiza/Cordoba when you fix a fault and straight away another fault shows up.

Said many many times that a mk2 should 'always' have at least one thing wrong with it, because if it doesn't it is just about too!!

So true. Replaced my custom cold air feed with the original air feed pipe. You'd think nothing to it but ever since have had slightly lumpy idle. Literally uncliped old pipe and clipped new one on lol.

You know you have a Mk2 when:

  • You can change the clutch cable in an hour
  • Fitting a new clutch cable changes the clutch pedal feel completely

u know you have a mk2 ibiza when you stare at it for ages but cant work out exactly why you like it, u just do.

Yes Yes and YES! That is sooo true. Although you do feel pretty strong hatred towards her as you drive her. It's a bit like golf... a series of unfortunate events obscured by the occaisional miracle. And that's my ibiza pretty much summed up there :)

you know you have a mk2 when during minus temps the washer jets freeze up, and on trying them the preasure blows the pipes apart at not just the little join in the boot (right above my amps, oops) but within the boot lid and under the bonnet also,
and when driving on slippy roads, anything over 1500 revs; regardless of gear results in a mass of torque steer and seriously shredded tyres,

Yes I'm familiar with this sickpupppppy... But I've put two cable ties and strapped them pretty tighly on the pipe join under the bonnet, used to blow off and empty my washer bottle pretty often!

You look like a proper hardcore poster too, 03.52am. What are you, a hamster?! :p
