Just been reading this thread http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=212083 and thinking of getting them. I PM'd the member about if they would fit and got this relpy: So I imagine they was for a mk4, but if the stud fitment is ok, do you think everything else will be?

I have just bought myself a leon cupra R and i have started to notice a few things, the first been that there is a noise when turning right, this makes me think that its a passenger wheel bearing but took it to a mechanic and he said that it isant a wheel bearing. There also seems to be a...

Well it's due a service anyway, and from looking at the service history I can't see it having a fluid change before which is pretty worrying but they seem very much more spongy under hard braking at speed than they used to be. I have done a search for but cannot for the life of me find a thread...

Just jumped into my car, as I was driving down the road a sqeaking from the front(I think) brakes got louder and louder, until it was unbearably loud. Waited a while and took the car back out, left the handbrake off while it was parked, and the same things just happened again..any ideas, Im...

right ive never really touched a car before, so im learning as i go, am i right in thinking that when i put some cupra brakes on the front, i just do one side at a time with regards to bleeding?? i.e. just unbolt my old caliper, take the disk off, attach new caliper and connect the brake...

I'm hoping someone can suggest why this is happening and any way to prevent it? Today the Arosa got another stone stuck somewhere behind the FNS brake disk, which pushed something against it and gave off a really nasty metallic screech. I've had this happen at least three times now in the...

OK this is one area of the Ibizas I am completely clueless about and need some advice. I'm looking to change my brakes to a bigger setup in anticipation of running my hybrid K03S in the next couple of months. The question I can't seem to find an answer to is what's the optimum setup I can...
