Went for a second visit to norfolk car audio today in norwich to have a second look at a pioneer head unit for my beeza. on my first visit i ask for a bit of advice to upgrade the sound system, got told i should probably get a new set of compos for the front for £130 and a set of loud speakers...

Carkeys have a road test of the new Leon FR by David Finlay. There are some positive points but he is very critical of the way it drives and rides. It's not the first time he has criticised SEATs for this – it seems to be a pet hate of his. http://www.carkeys.co.uk/road_test/seat/10921.asp

Hey all, I've reaad a few previous posts regarding spacers, everyone seems to be against having them on the front, but I couldn't find any specific reasons given... My mechanical knowledge isn't huge so there might be something blatant I'm missing, but the only major thing I can think of is...

Did the usual wonder around DIY stores yesterday.... Came out of focus (about 15 miles from home) and the car sounded a bit funny...then it got worse - eventually sounding like a motorbike... so i pulled over and let it idle while i listened - thats when i heard a sound of metal rattling...

Some of you may know that I had a leak in my driver side footwell. Well I booked the car into Letchworth to be looked at but because I needed a courtesy car I had to wait for two weeks. So I plugged where I thought the water was leaking from and waited until today. I turn up 15 minuets before...

Since replacing my MAF last week, my mpg hasnt gone above 22mpg (previous to that it would be 27+). Around town its about 19mpg and motorway @ 70/3k its returning 22mpg. Any ideas? It was serviced 4k ago by a main dealer - fluids are all spot on. VAGCOM is reporting nothing wrong. Logs look fine.

Alright guys. I have what sounds like a major problem with my cupra. I have been noticing for a while that if you give it too much revs pullin off you get a a bit of a grinding noise it was not until the snow arrived and it properly wheel span that i found out just how bad it is. When you...

Question: LCR comes with 18's as standard. However rumour has it that S3 17's will fit. My question is, the larger rims get the heavier they get. OK so the rolling circumference is increased, and the rolling mass is heavier, but does this mean: a) they are heavier to stop revolving...

Last night whilst driving in to my home town one of my mates dropped a lit fag on the back seat of my cupra which burned a rather large hole. Aaaaaaarh!!! :ban: Does anyone know how much a new mk4 cupra bench (larger one) costs and would it be cheaper to get the damaged one re-covered?
