Hello im new to the seat world and new to diesel cars and all I can say is im impressed!

I sold my clio 172 andI picked up a 2004 ibiza fr tdi over the weekend with 97k miles on the clock from a friend of myn in redcar up north
I am imprezsed with the car but not impressed with the paint work as its all faided and different shades of yellow bu paying £1000 I falt bargain! The cars going for a full respray just after xmas to be the colour its supposed to be!

My friend who owned it befor me done quiet a lot of work to it when he owned it and used to be a mechanic so as far as I no everythings been done proply

Mods so far are

Hybrid bigger turbo
Stage 2 clutch
Decat
Remapped and set up on rolling road aparently 230bhp with 350trq correct me if I may be wrong
Some chrome pipe not sure what it is take look at pic and let me no? :)
Coilovers
15" deep dish rims not to keen
Front mount intercooler
Launch control

Also came with 12 months mot and 6 months tax oh.. and a full tank of diesel :)

All this for the price? Well happy

Car seems very quick cant drive it in the wet seems to love spinning in 4th!! Wheels dont help

Plans so far

Cupra front and rear bumper
Cupr spoiler
Fresh spray job all over
Cupra wheels sprayed in gloss black
Cupra black mirror covers
Vinyal wrapped roof in black
Higher the coilovers to suit new wheels
Miltek exhaust system
Maybe cupra brakes
Hids
Led bulbs here and there

The onto more engine mods im happy with the way she goes atm so starting the outside first

This will be a slow project so keep popping back and checking the build out

All comments ideas and suggestions welcome :)

If I'm reading this right.. FR TDI for a grand? Lucky bugger! I stopped looking at Mk4s but if offered one for that price I'd bite their hand off and bloody enjoy it.

Sounds like a fault with the plip part of the key..

It may need a new plip, but I would try recoding it first. There are lots of guides scattered over the web!

A new battery in the key will sort the locking/unlocking problem.
I`ve just changed mine had the same problems now I can lock and unlock it from my house!
