Havent had the car back long from a rebuild and i'm getting a camshaft position sensor error. I've checked the timing marks/flywheel and the belt is on correctly. Next check was the CPS itself, was fine. So i took the cam cover off at TDC to see the front cam off by one tooth, rotated...

Hi - just a quick question regarding when the cam belt should be changed? I've been through my service book, and there's no indictaion of the cam belt being changed, yet the car is fully Seat serviced with 108k. Any ideas

On the way to work this morning my cam belt snapped on me. Bit of a stinker, but what do I do now? Car was recovered back to a local (ish - curse the 10 mile RAC limit ) garage where I asked them to assess the damage. I assume I'm in for a bill of a hundred quid or so just for getting the...

Last week I purchased a lovely 2002 Seat Ibiza 1.4 Chill with a full service history upto its current mileage of 103,000. The owner didn't have much of a clue about cars and didn't know whether the cam belt had ever been changed... Looking over the service history (all from the same Seat...

Hi all, 2 questions: 1) I was driving home today and the oil light came on (solid yellow, not flashing, not red). I stopped the car, checked the oil, realised it was a little low and topped it up from a reserve i keep in the boot. The light stayed on - the oil was still low as i didn't have...
