blowing

Hi there, just bought a 55 plate cupra r, remapped up to 270ish brake.. and now and again it blows the pipe off between the long alloy pipe from the turbo and the intercooler, it was blowing it clean underneath the standard jubilee clip, so i go a rather agricultural heavy duty mikalor boost...

Just wondering if anyone else reckons that the aircon system is well......a bit limp in the leon? It gets cold enough and warm enough but the actual stength is a bit weak. Had a Golf before and well my missus could of probably used it as a hairdryer, but the leon seems a bit asmatic. If i turn...

Right I thought id make a new thread to see what people think it is.. Last saturday I had my LCR Pressure Tested up to 1bar to see if there was any Vac Leaks Which anyway we found 3.... The 13miles drive home i was still blowing smoke out the back really badly which im guessing was the old...

I seem to be getting a whistling and a breeze of air through my vents when the car is on boost. I also think something's up as the coolant temp is hitting 90 pretty quickly. Only started today when I took the car for a run and the only thing I can think of is maybe a pipe has popped off the...

my heater has developed a strange fault, it sounds like all the air is coming from my passenger footwell, but on putting hand the i cant feel anything?, also unless its on recirc the airflow is shite, any help would be good as im fogging up really bad!!!!! :cry:

Evening all, Over the last 2 days I fitted a FMIC to my LCR, took it out today for first drive and all was well till i heard a big pop and lost all boost :( Anyway got home and one of the silicone hose's and come off so i tightend the clamps again and went out. Again a hose came off with a...

Hi everyone. I have a problem with my Seat Toledo V5 (170, MY2000). The car won't start - it turns over but won't catch. I called out a breakdown guy and the diagnostic box can't communicate with my car. We worked it out that the engine control fuse (10 amp - no. 29 in fuse box) has...

Hi All, Just after a bit of help. I have a DAB Sport TDI, had it for almost 3 years from new, but its always had a problem with headlight/sidelight bulbs blowing. I usually have to replace the headlight bulbs about 3 times a year. I use top quality bulbs, so don't think thats the problem...

Hey, I have a Leon Cupra 53 reg (04). A couple of problems. -When the car is cold, you start it and it sounds like the exhaust is blowing. After approx 2 minutes, this stops and it ticks over as quite as a mice. I heard it's something on the exhaust that kicks in to the warm the system...

I had a problem a few weeks ago where the main fuse from the alternator charge cable on the top of the battery kept on blowing. I replaced the battery as it was knackered and its been fine for the last few weeks. Anyway, tonight I drove around 80 miles, and the fuse melted twice. Fortunatley...

Hi There I'm from what I think of as a sister site in South Africa, and I am concerned by the number of Ibiza 1.9 TDI Cupra turbos that are blowing at our 1800 metre altitudes. Seem not to be so common at the coast. Some say it's caused by boost leaks and the resulting overcompensation of...

Hi guys, I am normally found on the Mk2 section but I am on here to ask a question for my mate. He has an 04 Leon Cupra TDI and it is slightly modified by way of larger injectors, remap and a straight pipe. He is having continuous problems with keeping boost pipes from blowing out at...

Hey guys, Has anyone had an issue with their leon eating brake lights? My car seems to be chewing through driver side brake light bulbs at an alarming rate, and I have no idea what I should be looking for to diagnose! Any ideas? :(

Hi I have a 52-Toledo 1.9TDI, just recently the blower has started blowing only cold air. I was told that the matrix may be blocked and to remove the two pipes that go to the matrix put a hosepipe on one and see if the water came out of the other, water came out of the pipe as fast as the...

Just fitted the new turbo to my car. Garrett GT1749VA from the standard KKK, it keeps blowing boost pipes left right and centre! Ive drilled a whole in the SMIC metal pipework so that the excess pressure can excape but its still not enough. Now it keeps blowing the pipe off which connects...

i will try and explain this the best i can. when i press the button for cold air (snowflake) i do get cold air but if i try to turn up the blower the air still only trickles out, but when i turn the snowflake off, i.e no cold air , it blows fine, whats wrong??
