  1. Test Drive, Eye Opener

    there´s been a customer investigation by the danish motoring magazine on DSG and on 1.4 chain driven engines, and its not "minor numbers" that has issues.. DIRECT failure of the clutch and gearbox are NOT normal but a large change in the "feel" of the gearbox and both jerkiness and rough...
  2. Mk1 Leon se tdi issues, cold start and window reg, not the usual

    Hey Guys, Not been around on here for a good while, but am in need of some help with a Leon tdi 110 I`ve picked up from a family member. I`ll try not to ramble too much, it started with a cold starting issue and a flashing coolant light, so it went into a local garage, said it was sorted...

    Diesels don;t need to have a Cat. Only cars that get a full emmissions test need a cat
  4. Aren't dealers great......NOT

    I put mine in to have the injectors replaced under warranty, they only snapped the clips that hold the plastic engine covers in place, it's little details like this that gets up my nose, I really don,t get the whole ' full seat service history' or be it any other marque, it just shows you know...

    Diesel de cat

    It only applies to vehicles that get a full emissions test. As diesels don;t get a full emissions test, they still don;t require a cat

    LCR Stage 1 Remap: Less turbo lag at low revs... 2-4k?

    I'd agree with most of that, apart from the 80mm TIP and manifold. I'm a big fan of the TIP, and I have the mani as well. But IME both of them actually make the torque suffer (unless mapped to take into account) They allow much more flow top end, which is where your power figure came from, but...

  9. Cracked head, Please Help!!

    I would be extra cautious of buying a used head, you could risk the cause of it also having the same defect again, and maybe be bend or out of shape (both at sealing face and cam face) so you could potentially risk of it doing more harm than good. My point being; don´t just go down to the...

    Decat and MOT?

    Depends on the MOT station. Technically, you don;t need a cat, as long as your car passes the emmisions test without it

    gtb2260 on standard map?

    You don;t need to invest any of that time though. All you need to do is choose a person you would like to drive it (Someone from Scotland would be nice), and pay the cost of the map. I'll gladly arrange the rest. Its due on track on the 29th. I can have it rolling roaded or test driven pretty...

    LawrieIbizaMk4's Ibiza Cupra TDi *Coilovers!*

    Yeah the diesels stil don require a cat as long as it passes emissions and smoke tests. Although if worst comes to worst then I'll fit a skid pad over where the cat should be so they can't get at it to see it :)

    MK2 ignition issue!!!!

    Hi all, My first time post on here and I have to say I am getting desperate for help now. I bought my MK2 2 months ago second hand, it has been spot on for those 2 months until a week ago when i had to be towed back to a garage due to the car not starting. When I turn the key in the ignition...

    help guys..what should i do about this?

    Sorry to hear about this mate, sounds a bit suspect to me. As said above my garage phones if they cant find anything and ask me to come up to go for a test drive. Just don`t loose your temper when you go back to them, and maybe take someone with you incase you start to get wound up.
  17. Door lock microswitch Guide

    Can someone just explain the part about moving/taping the window. I'm fine with everything else but i'm confused/worried about the part when i have to lower the window until i see the two bolts, then undo them. What does undoing the bolts do? Sorry if that sounds stupid but want to get it...

    Find my Coolant .....

    Cheers Damien, thought so. Don;t think it's a thermostat though, as I did a test on full heat and if its hot apparently the thermostat is fine?

    1.8 BT stroker loss of power at 4400 rpm

    Graham, y reply you to this: What exactly happens during this "loss of power" time @ 4400rpm - i.e do you lose any boost pressure ? Fast loss of pressure / pressure stays the same ? I think if the throttle body was closing (for some reason ??) then the pressure would rise quickly and...
