150

Seems like my turbo is on its way out - started making the 'police siren' noise and having searched this site that indicates that the bearings are most likely shot. It still drives well but I don't want to ignore it and wait till it breaks something else. What are my options? Where do...

Hi I have only recently got myself a Leon Cupra TDI 150 and I am loving it so far. One thing i have noticed with it is how loud the turbo is!! is it normal for them to be so loud? The turbo whistles quietly but its the "tttsssshhhhhh" as it builds up with im kinda worried about and want to...

As above, are these turbo's the same? The part numbers are similar. Has anyone ever run a Ibiza Cupra TDI turbo on a 130 engine? Thanks for any info. :)

I have been living with my Leon Cupra PD 150 for a while now and was wondering if my driving experiences are the same as you other guys: - 6th gear seem to only be of use at 70mph or over, if I let the revs drop below 2k the engine sounds really laboured. - I seem to have to leave my car...

I have only had this nearly a week, so still very much learning about it- what it can do etc. I had a 306 diesel before so going to a V5 petrol makes day to day driving unbelievable fun. The noise is enough to make buying it worth every penny! I havent had a chance to wash it properly yet as...

I have a Leon FR PD150, that is now blowing a fair chunk of black smoke if yo attempt to load the engine up. Fairly sure Turbo is spinning up, so that's good!! I have a damaged pipe, that i believe is the Intercooler - Turbo pipe, it's a black plastic moulded pipe, that comes from the bottom...

just a quick question for you all. i am thinking of fitting the stereo out of my pug in to my leon, just thought i'd ask you how easy it will be and what i will need to do it. what i really like to do is use the radio that is already in it or do i need to fit my alpine head unit ? i would like...

hey guys after having the leon for 3 weeks now, i love it but am gagging for a remap. I cant however decide between 2 companies, either the revo or custom code. Can anybody recommend one or help me decide. Biggest factor is basically i don't want clutch slippage!!!

Hi Guys, Hoping at least one boffin can help me :) have recently had an mot which it passed with flying colours. The next day, a whole host of problems decided to baffle me ECU light T/C light Coil light went to have a diagnostics reading this morning and the following codes...

Hi guys, for a few months now my temperature needle has had a mind of its own doing what it wants whenever it wanted, got myself to the dealers for a new temperature sensor and went ahead and changed it. Unfortunatley i lost quite a lot of coolant trying to remove the old "O" ring so had to...

Yep she made it :D 150k and still suprising people, seems I've just run her in :whistle:

Hi all I have been searching the forum and have found quite few posts regarding the above problem but no definitive solution. A few days ago I was hammering along quite nicely on a dual carriageway and the was a loud pop followed by a loss of power and lots of smoke. Limped to my local...

Helo all. Can anyone advise me where I can find someone/company to remap my car located in the North West of England at a reasonable price £200-£250. Was also looking at those cheap kits on e-bay but have been advised against them. any thoughts appreciated thanks.

going to replace my brakes, should i just stick with the standard brakes or anyone got any suggestions for which type to go for?

not sure if this is in the correct forum so please move if necesary ive got a petrol turbo which has come off a 1.8 turbo audi (150 bhp) and just wanted to know if it is the same as what comes on the petrol fr's and can it be hybrid'd? thanks

I have a 2000 Toledo V5 (150) with a water leak which is now quite severe. I have changed the Flange which needed done but their is another, bigger, leak from the very rear of the engine. It appears to be coming from the cylinder head area as water is running down the underside of the exhaust...

I bought an Ibiza FR (petrol) on an 04 plate not so long ago, I've seen both 150 and 180 mentioned in the models .. just can't seem to figure out the BHP .. any ideas? Also .. has anyone had the same models remapped? Worth the money?

Hello there people ! i'm new to this web site as i've only just bought a mk1 seat leon fr tdi 150 and i've seen lots of good things and replys to people questions. so i was thinking maybe you guys would be able to help me along with fitting cruise control to my 55 plate leon. i know they do a...

Hi Im not sure the TDIs have a dump valve like a petrol turbo, but I've heard they have some kind of valve to vent excess pressure, etc, Can someone tell me whereabouts it is in the engine bay so I can check it over? I knew where everything was on my old Impreza but I'm struggling a bit...

Anyone know how to get it off? I've tried pulling, but it won't come loose and I can't see any bolts. I'm guessing it's that that's annoyingly vibrating at around 1200 rpm.
