car

where can you get this done? :)

I bought my FR TDi about 4 weeks ago, and was impressed with the power, if a little lively but thought I would get used to it. Anyway, 4 weeks on and i'm starting to think it may have had a little tweaking by its previous owner. In 1st, 2nd and occasionaly 3rd the car is lively as hell...

hey guys i have a problem my car runs for 5-10mins then just dies any ideas on wot it could be please help cause i have very little know how when it comes to engines lol

I'm sure this wont bring many good replies lol, but here is my car... Basic spec was: 45mm ITB's 120mm Ram pipes Cat Cam 421's (wildest possible on standard pistons) Standard exh Mani Decat, into a full 2.5" exhaust Lightened flywheel Pico 350cc Injectors Cometic H/G No AC No PAS...

Basically my car has never really felt right since being into seat but its been on the rollers at ptorque again and actually made 5bhp more than it did before it went into seat but i have noticed recently that in 5th gear @ 1250-1500 revs (roughly 40mph) if i let off and press the accelorator...

This doesnt happen all the time, but every few gear changes (mainly coming into 2nd, 3rd and 4th) the car does a short shudder (almost like 2 small jumps forward). It lasts maybe a second then goes away. I took out the spark plugs and cleaned them the other night, could there now be an issue...

Evening all. I start driving in May (I'm 16 now), and I'm seriously considering getting a Leon (1.4, for insurance reasons). I've seen some that crop up on Autotrader for dirt cheap, with respectably low mileage. Are they reliable? They use the same engine as the Golf, don't they? I don't...

I picked it up Wed's but thought i'd add a couple of pics having cleaned it all afternoon! Need to get the wheels refurbed but still not sure on colour yet??

Its an Ibiza 1.6 tdi 3dr in black magic, and just thought I'd stick a pick on. Quite impressed with the ride and handling so far,and thetrip says it averaged 55mpg on the way home (steady 60-70mph). Just got to try and keep it clean now :)

do i need to let my car cool down once finshed driving before switching off? and if so how long should i leave it? any advice appreciated. Thanks Danny :)

As the title suggests, the yellow engine light has come on :( only had the car three days, f***s sake! So, what does it mean? Can I get into any sort of diagnostic to see what it's pointing at? Car is an 02 cupra, pre facelift if that makes any difference. Actually, according to the manual...

i was wondering if anyone has used one? i have recently moved about 300 yards from my work so i will be leaving the car at home for 5 days a week. i want a cover my leon up for the duration but im a bit worried that when covered the inside of the cover will scratch up my car with the wind...

What to use? Current setup is just hosepipe, bucket + the dreaded sponge of death :ban: Have a jet washer, but its quite powerful and took the wheel weights off last time :( although that was probably my own fault! What attachments should i use with my jet wash? Are foam lances worth...

Just in case anyone can help me...... I've fitted a second-hand Bury CC9060 kit to the Bammer. It works fast and fine. Voice recognition etc. Mutes radio, instantly pairs with mobiles......... However, it doesn't download the phonebook from my Android HTC hero. (Doesn't do this from a Nokia...

Firstly just want to thank everyone that's given me advice and pointed out things to look for as this site has already proved really useful. I picked up the car last night, March 08, Leon FR TDi, 16k Miles, one owner, Zenith Grey, 18" Wheels and all the toys. Really pleased with it anyway...

I have a 2004 ibiza 1.9tdi, and I noticed that the car is somehow "gone lower" at the front end... It seems that the engine is very close to the ground, I don*t know... SO, can someone do me a favor and measure the distance between the lowest point under the engine (there is some plastic...

my boss and i are buying an old 1991 bmw 316 from my mate whos going away to aussi, getting it dirt cheap so im gonna put work into it (not much but enought so it appears tidy) and then were gonna sell it on. its a red colour but the paint has faded really badly, how can i restore it to its...

Bought a stubby aerial off fleebay thinking it would be a screw off screw on job. Tried to screw mine off but it seems i have the aerials that screw loose and adjust to face flat on the roof, do these come off at all so i can replace with my stubby aerial? or am i wasting my...

Before I start modding my car, i'm thinking it would be wise to have it plugged into first, this vag-com machine, or equivalent, to see if there are any probs i need to address beforehand. Does anybody know how much this would cost me, and is vag-com what garages would use, or is this a DIY...

i have been waiting for a seat ibiza FR to come into a garage for a couple of weeks now and have been watching the price. it was £8295.. i showed an interest and am going to look at this weekend. i just checked the seat site tonight to show my gf the car and it has shot up £700 !! over night...
