Hey People, this is first time im writing up on this section. YES I have checked the 'SEARCH' section and found similar questions but not same. LOL Basically my 1.4 Beeza locks up back wheels and back goes to left side if u slam foot on brakes at only 40mph :redface:. I changed the rear brake...

does anyone know if its possible to turn off the feature which stops you left foot braking or heel and toeing in the ibiza's? its so irritating when changing down on the entrance into corners. help would be much appreciated matt.

Since fitting my KW Coilovers, Neuspeed ARBs (25mm front, 28mm rear), uprated wishbone bushes, rear 15mm spacers and front upper/lower strut braces I've noticed that under heavy braking the back end is quite twitchy and feels like it's struggling to stay in a straight line. (it's been laser...

recently i have noticed that all my interior lights which are set to come on when i open the door (front and rear) come on if i brake slightly harder than normal or take a corner very agressively. im not too worried about the aggressive cornering one, but the braking one happens alot and its...

Hi I have a problem with my brakes,:( when braking I'm getting bad vibrations in the steering wheel, I notice it mainly when at high speed, when lightly braking it's not to bad, when medium braking it really bad and heavy braking it goes away. Wasn't sure if it was warped discs,when I had a...

Noticed this a few times, and came to my attention Wednesday night! Was driving along, doin a steady 70-80 mph and had a know up my arse on the motorway, so gave him a nice brake test. I then noticed that for a about 1 mile/1minute, that the car was pulling slightly to the right. After a...

Hi All, Just got a couple of issues with the Beeza. 1st problem, When braking at low speeds (under 15mph) i get a droning noise which sounds the same as a bus coming to a stop! This is an intermitant problem which only seems to happen after a half hour drive. Front & rear discs & pads are...

Im starting to get a few problems with my electrics, My interior light work one day then not the next and my boot light has only worked a few times in the 3 years i have had the car? If anyone...

Since changing my front pads and discs on my AP Calipers....if I brake quite hard and then pull away, I can hear a squaking type noise coming from the front left wheel as I pull away until I am upto about 10 mph or so. What could this be? Surely I can't have a warped disc right after...

I have noticed recently a strange noise when slowly braking to a stop coming from the rear of the car. Sounds a bit like when the disc brakes get all rusty after they get wet or are washed. Normally that sound disappears after the brakes are used, but this sound will not go away however much I...

After fitting my EBC Ultimax discs and DS2500 and Pagid fast road pads I got my system fluid changed to a better spec. When bleeding this the garage owner was telling me that most brake systems work in two sections/systems. One for say the passengers side front and drivers side rear and the...

Evening people, thought i'd register on here and pick your brains over an issue i have with the Braking performance of my 3 month old Ibiza FR TDI. It basically feels like the brakes aren't biting enough... I'm not sure whether the ABS has something to do with this, but i get the impression it...

Hi All, New member here, hoping you'll can help me. I know this is about a Toledo, but this issue would be the same on a leon, hoping some nice leon owner can help me. My Toledos been playing me up a bit over the last few days. Before that it's been fine a really rock solid car but i have...

Hi All, New member here, hoping you'll can help me. My Toledos been playing me up a bit over the last few days. Before that it's been fine a really rock solid car but i have 2 - issues. 1. Whenever i brake (ie. push in the brake pedal) my curb-side (nearside?) sidelight comes on. Weird huh? I...

Hey guys Does anyone have official braking distance figures for the Ibiza Valvers with the 280mm brakes? I am switching back to standard - its a sad sad day, i am selling my AP racing 4-Pots to fund another project :cry: See the for sale section soon for details I know the G60s are...

In the MK3.... It doesnt work!! You cant keep the revs up and left foot brake, as the engine just dies and when i take ur foot off to re accelerate it take a good second before the car realises. The whole point of left foot braking is too keep the revs up to get a better exit on the...
