Hi All, Was speaking to a local dealer yesterday - actually went to look at an Alhambra, but that's a different tale. He was telling me that he'd been running an FR TDI and getting about 42 MPG over short stop-start journeys day in day out. The vast majorty of my travelling is stop...

Hi all, in a recent fit of rage I slammed down the centre dashboard console lid and jammed a sweet packet in it. I couldn't open it for love nor money so I forced the lid up and....bang....I broke the catch mechanism. Anyone got any ideas how to fix the catch, replace the whole assemble...

Hi Guys My wife reversed off of the drive today and didn't drive any further after hearing a DOING! from the driver's side front. After her knight in shining armour(ie my Dad!) removed the front wheel he found about half a coil (3 inches) sitting in the bottom cup. I have all ready...

I was driving home the other day when the engine light came on in my car. When I came to a stop the timing of the engine was completely wrong. It was that bad the engine would shake the car at idle. Also stalled itself a few times at idle. Took it to the garage the other day to find out it was...

The alarm on my FR kept going off on Boxing day and the light that says a door is open was permanently on. The dealer said yesterday that a o/s door control unit has been ordered but it'll be into the New Year before it'll be fixed. :( I had the same thing just over a year ago when I first...

I've had my LEON TFSi FR DSG for 2 weeks now & some silly cow has cut me up & took my wing mirror off :censored: Well I hope that's all she has done as it's too dasrk to see anything else !She drove off without stopping so I had to follow her flashing my lights until she did stop. She was very...

All ok now :D I had my new ibiza 5 hours and I abit gutted. The passanger door doesn't open unless you pull the inside handle first to open it :(

Since my Leon Cupra was cruelly cremated a few weeks ago i've been driving my girlfriend's Cordoba. Last night the power steering failed and it started making a lot of noise. I've taken a look this morning and the power steering reservoir is empty. I've also found what appears to be...

First post and its a bad one :( Got a Seat Ibiza, 2004, 1.2, 3 cylinder, SX. Got the car 4 months ago, passed my test 2 months ago, so have been driving around alot. The car has been fine until today :( was driving along the moterway and pulled of the slip road ans stoped at the...

After driving my car relatively hard most of the time :whistle: my car has developed a new sound that's not quite right! When accelerating (normally at the higher end of the rev range) i release the accelerator to change gear and there is a kind of psssst chirping noise :think: Sort of...

Sorry for making yet another thread about this but I really need advice/help. So I set off my driver's side side airbag after clipping a kerb, so need an airbag replaced and power steering turned back on. Took my car down to a local stealers, told them what I needed and asked them to get to...

Hi Guys, Didn't really want this to be my first post, but looks like it's gonna be... Bought a Seat Arosa 1.4 16V Sport W reg about 5 weeks ago, and last night whilst driving, I seem to have lost 4th Gear!! Spoke to a garage today and they seem to think it's the gearbox. :cry: Has...

Had a bit of a misshap today right behind another SCN member (who's name I don't know)- cheers for stopping by the way. Basically I was going round a corner (maybe a little fast but nothing stupid) and the rear end stepped out. Tried to correct it and it swung all the way back cracking the...

I just had the car back from a service and MOT (non dealer service). All went fine except i was told two of my exhaust brackets were broken to the exhaust was hanging on with only bolts. Apparently you can't buy the brackets and the only option is a new exhaust (c. £300 which is a sickener)...

It finally happened to me today, my girlfriend had her driving test today and left her paperpart of her license at our house (20 miles from the test centre) co i had to fly up and get it for her, half way home my clutch pedal snapped! of all the times. thankfully we managed to get the license to...

Firstly i would like to say hello as im a newbie on here and this is my first post.:D My gearbox is making some very strange clanging noise when under load but is very bad in fourth. Do i have to get a gearbox from a 1.4 ibiza or is there other options i can fit and what is the going rate for...

Morning lads! Your the best people to ask, so i hope you can help. Went to wash my windscreen this morning using the washer (As you do) And the right sprayer is, well, fooked. Rather than misting up nicely as it should, it squirts a solid lame spray from only one side, mearly hitting my...

Or not... Basically, it wouldn't start. I rang Green Flag who diagnosed the problem as being the starter motor which had pulled off its mount. Apparently various things were in places they shouldn't have been and he couldn't rectify the problem there and then. Only when we moved the car...

Hi, When driving the car in first and second gear it is very 'lurchy' i.e. huge feeling of engine braking when you come off and on the throttle and a like noticable shift in weight of something heavy. There is no banging as such but it feels as if something is loose... What mounts could...
