1st

Hi All The sun was out in Torbay today so gave the car its 1st polish since buying her a few weeks back.... Russ.... :D

Hi all, Right basically went for a short drive just now and all was fine...no ragging just average LCR driving i guess. Went into Tesco and put in £10 of normal unleaded (took me inbetween 1/4 and 1/2 full). Turned the car back on, and it revved all on it's own up to 2k, and stayed...

Dash display tells me its 1st service time very soon, 1400miles to go.:blink: I'm pretty central in the midlands so I can be in Derby, Leics Notts & even Brum within 45 mins. I want to take her to a good dealer, I do have a cracking independant locally, but I'm not sure how that...

Hi All, Yesterday lost reverse then it reappeared and now i've lost 1st and 2nd gear. I've stuck my head under the bonnet to check the gear linkages and tweeked them with no joy, goes too far one way 1st becomes reverse too far the other 1st becomes 3rd. No middle ground...

I get this weird problem when the engine is cold every morning. As I pull away the car shudders once, kind of on the biting point, and then all is fine. It only happens in first (ive tried pulling away in second and thats fine) and it only happens when the engine is cold. It feels like...

This might be a stupid question but my first service is due in 500 miles or so and I've just been told I don't have to get it done at a main dealer, as long as seat parts are used my warranty will be fine is this so?!?!?!? I imagine this has been posted before but I need a quick answer as I can...

Hey guys don't flame me for not searching but I just wanted quick current opinions on this. - I have a 1.4 DAB Petrol and it is coming up for its 1st year service in a couple of weeks. - Seat want £145 for their "Safety Inspection and Oil change" - Volkswagen want £99 for a Lube Service...

Hi I think I've got my first problem with my LC in over 3 years of owning it (other than the odd coil pack and self inflicted injury) I had been using it earlier, parked up, and when I returned to it and started it up I was surprised to see the traction control OFF warning light came on...

Hi peeps well collected my LCR (210) 2 weeks ago now and apart from a few neglected areas by the pair of half brainers who used to own it, ive gotta say im more than chuffed with it ;) I seem to have a spuradic problem with the throttle every now and then the engine will give a fairly violent...

Good Afternoon & Merry Christmas all! I was in Tesco car park this morning doing the usual Xmas shop and whilst spending a good 20mins looking for a Space to park my Fr TDi was playing up in 1st gear. Instead of moving smoothly across the car park, it was juddering along. I'm talking around...

I have finally got my THS front mount fitted and since I've never posted pics of my car yet thought I'd put some up, of the intercooler nd pipework and some shots of the cupra itself. Enjoy:) Excuse the cable ties on the pipework they were just used tep when fitting:lol:

hi guys, couldnt really find anything with the search. i had a p-torque remap recently and just fitted a boost gauge. what do you lot get in first? im only seeming to get about 11psi if i take it to the redline in 1st, but if i start off from low revs in 3rd / 4th / 5th and take it to the red...

had a strange problem last night that is still occurring today.... the car has to be forced a little bit to get into 1st its quite bad... and also the same for second, all the others glide in smoothly.. could be gear linkage??? any ideas or anyone had similar issues?

Hi guys after originally having my car selected for the Piper Build and going to Folkstone my circumstances changed and I was going to sell my LCR, typically I ended keeping the car but unfortunately lost out on having mine used, KEZ seen you exhaust mate looks fantastic what the guys did...

My FR TDI is coming up to its first service due date, and I'm about to go looking for somewhere to get it done. I've asked the dealers how much it would be, and I've been told £250 all-in, which I think is a hell of a lot for a 1st service!! I've read on here that VAG specialists do the same...

Now and again from a long peroid of driving it feels like my car is crunching or is having difficulty going in2 1st gear ? any1 else have or had this problem ?? thanks!

So finally got my laptop sorted and vag-com installed. Im hoping to go out on a logging session this weekend. Im hoping to get my logs posted up for the guys in the know to tell me if my cars as it should be. I have a k03s with all the goodies with revostg2 installed and i was hoping sombody...

As per title, I have a couple of questions, have done some searching but with no luck (probably me being dumb:rolleyes:) 1st. I am collecting a new Ibiza Formula sport. It has rubber bump strips on the side of the car. Are these just stuck on or if I try to remove them will I reveal nasty...

My assistant managers leon cupra R will not engage in 1st, 2nd or reverse gear. He can start the engine in 3rd but, none of the other gears when he tries the car stalls. Has anyone got a clue what it could be ? He is absolutely petrified about how much its going to cost him to get it fixed !

it gonna cost me 136 quid for a FR 1.8t is that about right? could anything need replacing after a year? I know its coveres by warenty tho.
