cold

ok since I been getting in car when its been stood about 12 hours or so first thing in a morning when its been -2.5c its taking about 4 seconds to fire maybe more I do wait for the glow plug light to go out and it goes pretty much instantly to be honest. I just tested the glow plugs pulled...

Hey, I was wondering if anyone else with a 1.9tdi finds the car easy to stall in the cold weather? Mines a cupra don't know if that would make any difference? When I start up from cold especially at this time of year the car is mega easy to stall if I have to do say a standing hill start...

Hi, i have noticed a problem in my new ibiza 09 Sc 1.6 petrol manual. after a cold start/ after engine was turned off for a long time, when i put in the first gear and drive a few meters (till engine hit 2/2.5 RPM, 18-20 kph) i hear a short mechanical sound, it appears to come from the...

Hi, Ok so here goes my 2001 tdi is a bugger to start in the cold it finally coughs into life sounding like I have just fitted a new fuel filter (cough cough etc) I have new glow plugs and never had the problem in the summer in addition my coolant level drops under normal temp operation...

My LC will not start if the outside temp is below say -3 degress. There is no power getting down to the starter as if a relay isnt being pulled across. As soon as it warms up abit outside it starts with no problems. I wouldnt mind as much but this is the second winter with fault and i just wanna...

Hey! I'm new here, been lurking and using the search function for the last month, and I have found everything very useful and informative! Recently purchased a mk1 2001 leon TDI SE 110, with the ASV engine. However I have a small issue, sorry if this has been covered but i can't find a...

My old 306 and the misses's corsa does not hiss one single bit the morning after the car was last driven but the Ibiza does. Garages hav told me this is normal but i'm getting a slight 'hiss'. Nothing too major but who else gets this on their cars? Just looking for a definitive answer...

Hi Last year I had a map from a danish mapper, back then I could experience "Red light flash from water temp gauge" when I had below 0 celcius. Back then I blaimed the map for being ****. Now I have revo, and I had this problem this morning. What is this about, some cold/icy water warning...

Hi guys, Been meaning to ask for a while. When I start my car from cold, as in overnight cold, there is a squeaking noise. Now, it sounds like the cam belt passing over a certain area and squeaks, but could it be something else? It's the 2.0 TDI FR Thanks, Danny.

As above, going to need to get mine sorted soon as mine is currently non existant and would love a few ideas. Any pics of your setup would be good, along with specs( lengths of air feed etc)

Hi, i have a terrible time starting my Mk 1 leon tdi. Got a friend to check for error codes and one comes up that he cant erase... 4632 Fuel Pump maximum stop. While i was there i checked the glow plugs and they arent getting any power which might explain the dodgy starting. Next step i suppose...

I have put up a post about this before but didn't really have much comeback so i thought i would start a new one and give as much detail as i could Couple of problems - 1) Basically my Ibiza runs really rough on start-up. It seems to be when its cold most of the time. It will cough and...

Hi guys went out to the car this morning and by gawd it wasnt half cold. I know its been getting colder and condensation is among us but it wasnt as bad last year inside. i was breathing and you could see it as it was soo cold inside. the window on the inside also isnt just condensating there is...

My MK4 1.2s will only supply hot air. It doesn't matter what i do with the temp dial or fan speed i only get v.hot air. it's not too bad this time of year but i need to get it sorted for the summer. Also the air con does nothing just wheezes a bit. Does anyone know if the temp control is...

Had a bit of a play yesterday, gave the panel filter a clean, Plus had the standard cold air feed that goes from behind the head light to the bottom of the air box removed, I cant believe how restictive this looks as standard, i possibly think it a combination of cold air and sound...

Bit of a newbie question. I did lots of searching and reading but ended up pretty confused so thought I'd just ask. When I start up first thing in the morning the car seems to be missing for the first few minutes at which time it settles and is fine. I read lots of threads after searching but...

Hi Peeps just want to know the best cold air filter if they is one for my car my mate has the pipercross vis but iv heard they dont fit the LCR due to the 2 intercoller each side thanks

Hey im looking at getting a induction kit with a cold air feed but there is absolutely no space that i can see to install the cold air feed, would be nice to see if people have done it and how because i cant find any room for mine. the car is 1.8T FR MK4 cheers, Paul.
