Hi All, I have 2.0TDI 140PS Altea Stylance, 17" Alloys and 235 miles on the clock. After the first week or so of driving I am very happy but have a question. In 2nd to 6th Gears, throttle response is excellent with definite kick if you push it hard. However 1st gear seems to respond like an...

whats the maximum top speed for a 1.9 Tdi in first gear at full revs running 175bhp and 306lbs

I suspect this has alreday been done to death, so apologies up front. My FR turned 8,500 miles this morning and has now started showing as service due in 900 miles, which is only 9,400 miles........yet I believe the service is only due every 10K miles..... So is this a sneaky way of...

Hi all I'm having probs with shifting from 1st to second gear. Problem is that once in a blue moon the bloody thing won't let go of first and just holds on. Give it a good yank and then it moves. This doesnt happen that often, but is getting more regular, Plus now putting it into first I've...

Quick question, I am noticing that my LC has a bit of a problem pulling away in 1st, usually in traffice and/or uphill. It feels like it struggles to bite at times I'm not sure whether its the clutch slipping (no problems in any other gear though) or just a common LC/LCR thingy?

I clayed my car today and removed all the old swirl marks (but revealed many chips :( )...took me 4 hours! What do you think? :D

Hello all. We have our car booked in for its first annual service on March 14th with Listers Coventry. They have quoted us £230 inc VAT for our first annual service. Does this seem horrendously expensive to anyone else? The car will have barely done 8k miles, but i want it done at 12...

Hey guys, i have just lost 1st and 2nd gear on my gearbox, when i put it into first it goes straight into 3rd. I had to drive it home in 3rd which didnt like hills at slow speed so now the clutch is slipping. Can anyone shed any light on the gearbox problem. Its a Alhambra 98, 115tdi... hope...

It certainly pays to shop around. I was quoted "about £210" for the 1st service on my Leon FR170 from a reputable SEAT dealer in Huddersfield (incidently, where i got the car from). Thinking it a bit steep, I phoned Ted Johnson's in Barnsley and boy am i glad i did!! Just paid £101 and a few...

Over the last few days i have noticed an annoying ticking noise coming from around the instrument console or steering column. It basically sounds like a tick tick tick then goes off, then comes on again a few minutes later. Iv,e only noticed it when stationary as the sound is inaudible once your...

Hi all, I have picked up my 1st Seat Ibiza, a 2003 TDi Sport. All OK so far however I have one question. It is low mileage (12K) and has been serviced regularly every year (approx 2500 miles per year). Appears to have had combination of basic and intermediate service and the last included...

still tryin to get pics uploaded

Noticed the other day that the clutch seems to be slipping in first gear from 2000rpm even at half throttle sometimes. Had a search on the forum and some threads said to test by flooring it at low revs in high gears. No slip doing this or in any other gear just seems to be first. Dont think...

Hi all, I've just bought a 2001 leon cupra and am looking at getting a remap and a few mods done. From browsing this forum which is full of useful info I have decided to get a remap and upgrade the dump valve and panel filter ( got a good quote for this). Is it worth also getting the...

Hi ALL, I have found some thread talks about pretty much the same issue, but I would like to hear whether its a common failure and there is still something that could be done in order to avoid it in the future. I lost my 1st, 2nd and R gear yesterday (after 3500 miles), means I can not...

askin misses for some x mas goodies, she can only get me one half of exhaust, is there any point getting the downpipe , cat and connecter pipe fitted then get backbox etc done at a later date or just get the catback system 1st and downpipe etc later? dont say all at once which i know is best...

Well chuffed at the price i got from VW for my ibiza PD100 1st service, mainly due to a mate of mine being a mechanic there. Anyways, seat itself price was £130 and VW was £107 at first but when i collected it yesterday, it was £86:D Noticed a difference straight away, felt liked i just...

Alright guys. I was on the way to work yesterday and i was changing gear from 1st to 2nd and the gear didnt mesh properly and now 1st is very very stiff (at first i had to force it in a few times) its not quite as bad now but do you think ive damaged my gearbox? any ideas? ________ Vaporizer reviews

Hi, Sometimes my leon wont always start 1st time. Everything is turning over ok but it doesnt seem to fire up. It will start eventually and sometimes its fine for a week then starts playin up again but its just a pain in the arse. It runs ok aswell once its going. I had a fault code scan...

when accelerating hard off the line boosts ok go to drop into second and its in limp mode any ideas lads.
