changed

I had one of those magnetic plugs in the sump and the only metal fragments I had was a tiny gray mesh on the outer tip of the magnetic oil plug. Any other experiences with this?

Hello I have been a member for sometime on seatcupra, but i haven't posted anything before. I am currently looking at getting a new 3dr Ibiza FR TDi. One of the things that made it appeal to me more was the fact that it was in a low tax band (£35) as it emissions were below 120g. I have just...

I changed my cambelt and water pump on my lcr at the weekend. Had a rite nightmare. Started it up after doing job and got a misfire. Almost shat myself thinking i had bent valves but turned out to be a dodgy coil pack so i replaced all 4 and all was well. Then i noticed that the secondary water...

Is it possible to tell if the water pump has been change just from appearence? My golf (86k miles) appears to have had a can belt change but no record of whater pump change so was wondering if you could tell from appearence once its fitted cos 1 i dont want it going but 2 i cant afford...

Got the Ibiza TDI FR, 2005 plate, got the bushes changed to the cupra ones on tuesday and they changed the oil and filter for me at the same time. Now, it feels different when driving, not in a good way. Before it went in, i could drive it at 30mph in 5th gear or 40 in 6th with no problems at...

I think i might end up answering my own question but i will ask anyway. My PD130 has done 74k and hasnt had the cambelt done, But it is serviced when it should be!, I just forgot all about it TBH. Been running the miles traveling to Ipswich and back to see my girlfriend. Over this month i am...

As the title really i have a mk3 ibiza tdi 110 asv engine and i have put a new head gasket and cylinder head on it. I locked the timing off and also marked it all up before starting the job and now everything is back together and nothing seems to have moved with regards to the timing but the car...

i got my car back from garage today as my dmf broke, i still have a tappit noise which increases with engine speed, doesnt get louder just speeds up, went a few garages an got told all sorts of answers from bottom end bearings to tappits. problem is cars running ok its just an horrible noise...

:cry: Worst job I have ever done on a car lol Only changed it for a replacement voided bush for comfort but decided to take the console off to do the job. Then the bush wouldn't fit in but eventually after some work with a heat gun I got it to go in and managed to hammer it home but god...

So I deceided to change my standard gear knob and gator, dirt cheap off ebay but what a pain in the arse to do the gator...

Dear All, Well I took my car to Seat Camberly for the 7th year Service even though my car has only done 42K. Well they said that both two front mounts need to be changed. They discounted the price for parts and labour to £174 but they were unsure if the top mounts include the bearing for...

Had a look at my cam lobe today and was quite suprised to see noticeable wear on it. New one fitted. My K1 has done 14k

As titled, Today ive took my Seat Dynamic Sat-Nav out and put in a double-din Pioneer headunit. Ive connected the aerial up to the new unit but i cant get any FM reception. On the Seat sat nav unit i took out there was a blue\black multiplug (pictured) which obviosuly doesnt fit the new unit, is...

Hi There, Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for accessible areas of the engine that could be marked in some way to be sure that the cambelt/tensioners/waterpump change has atleast been attempted? E.g. particular bolts in the right locations... any thoughts?

The speaker grills on the front doors are around 30cm in length and 15cm in height. So how hard would it be to fit 2 speakers in there? Say 1 6.5" and another 5.25"? After looking at them in the light, I can only see one hole with plastic mesh across for the speaker. So how hard is it to...

What if anything should i be able to notice/feel when i change the stock green spring to a yellow one on my stage 1 mapped LC, a lot has been written about uprating the spring if your car has been mapped. Cheers

I currently have a limited edition RS Clio R27, which has got to be one of the best handling cars I have ever been in, but it's a 197PS N/A car, and the power comes in at 5000RPM, so I have a niggle/desire to change it for something with a Turbo. I've always liked Leon's, and my mate has...

FRONT BRAKES: Edit: Right I fitted the brakes, disks and pads earlier, and it seems the brakes may be stuck on. Took it for a little drive and they were smoking. The passenger side was the worst. Any suggestions as to what it may be, and how to resolve it? Thanks Speaking to a mate...

As per the title. I'm pretty sure one of the wheel bearings is on the way out on my lcr. Not 100% sure which one it is though, any ideas how to confirm it? Also is it an easy job to do? Any wheel bearing brand preference? also can anyone shed any light on how much average joe garage would...
