cold

Over the last few days (hard frost etc) my car has decided that it's out of oil. It isn't out of oil, in fact its not even low, but the red oil light flashes continuosly and i get a "Beep" when it starts flashing. On a day when the temps are mild or warm this won't happen, so its got to be...

Before I get flamed, yes I have searched, and no I couldn't see my prob anywhere! :p Having just rectified a leaking rear washer pipe (that old chestnut!) Im now in trying to dry/dehumidify the trusty beast, only recently i've noticed that the climate demist function is doing sweet fa...

Hi there my girlfriend was leaving work 2 days ago, she was driving for about a minute then the red warning light on the temp gauge started to flash and beep 3 times even though the gauge was still sitting at the bottom (cold), she then pulled over and turned the ignition off then back on and it...

Just wondering if anybody could shed any light on this, got a 57 FR TDi, and whenever the temperature outside drops to around 6 or 7 and below, when I start my engine and move for the first mile or so there is a terrible, loud rattle coming from somewhere near the passenger side dash where it...

Hi Guys, My climatronic is duffed up! Problem: If you set the temp to "HIGH" you get nice hot air as requested. If you set the temo to "LOW" you get nice hot air, which you don't want! Turfed out the old VAG COM from the boot, and im getting the following error back: So im...

I get this weird problem when the engine is cold every morning. As I pull away the car shudders once, kind of on the biting point, and then all is fine. It only happens in first (ive tried pulling away in second and thats fine) and it only happens when the engine is cold. It feels like...

Just thought I'd post a few pics of my cold air feed for my smoothed airbox I smoothed my airbox in the same way as others have, but for the fitment of the cold air feed I didnt want to cut as much away from my airbox as I'd seen in examples. I only removed the intake pipe on the inside of...

Done lots of searching for this with plenty of posts about it with ppl saying they are going to mention at next service etc. But no actual posts on what the mechanics said it was. My dash makes the most annyoing clicky/tapping/squeek type sound but only does it when the car is cold. (sounds...

As title says. only does it from cold and in cold weather (about 0-5 degrees) It doesnt happen all the time though and its not especially bad (compared to when it was running of 3 and occasionaly 4 cylinders when a ignition lead broke). Spark plugs where replaced about 4500 miles ago. thanks

Hello People.... My Cupra is broke! (again) It only starts when its COLD. So when i have driven it and its hot, it wont start. So i have to wait for it to cool alllll the way back down to start it. Any ideas? I think it could be the Crank shaft sensor? What you reacon? Chris

Ive just got to drive my car since coming back into the country problem was the car was sat for 2 and half months without being started now the car makes a knocking under the bonnet for the first minute or so after start up any ideas of what the problem could be, it was fine before deployment...

Now this weather has turned baltic the last month i have been getting an alarming like vibrating chattery diesel sounding clacking for like a second on the enitial start up then alls fine! It does not do it every time, and when the engines warm say go to the shop then come out and start the car...

hi all.this morning i started my car up to defrost it.i left it runing and locked the door with my spare key(just in case some git trys to nick it). the car was ticking over nicely,warmin up inside and defrosting the windows.it was around -4c. But.... when i unlocked the door with the key the...

leon fr 150D engine temp warning light flashes?? If i switch of the engine and restart it goes off, checked coolant level and the top and wires, any ideas chaps??:shrug:

Does anyone else find that their car doesn't like it very much when it's been sat all day in the cold? When I start it at night after being parked all day, I find it feels quite juddery when I press the accelerator, almost like there's a blockage or something. But after a bit it just springs...

Ok, thought it was coil packs, but have disconnected them one at a time (and tried disconnecting the injectors one at a time) and doesn't make any difference disconnecting any of them... which i find very odd?! engine judders horrendously when cold and idles incredibly lumpy at around...

Any idea what this is. A chemical sort of smell. Never had a diesel before so I presume it's something to do with the TDi or the DPF.

Just had my first MOT and was informed that my pads where VERY low (Outsides looked a little low, but it turned out the inside pads very indeed very low) So i've just ordered some DS2500 pads from Badger Bill and was wondering how the pad performs in a everyday application. I know there a...

Hi, I have searched the forum but i am not sure if a lot of the answers I found are relevant to a standard 1.4 petrol leon. The car has started juddering after being driven for a few hundred metres when the engine is cold in the morning. It doesn't happen after that for the rest of the day...

Felt like I had a remap yesterday when driving back along the motorway and A roads last night. I had no idea how much of a difference the density of the air has upon the running of a turbo charged car. Which brings me to the question, if I can feel the difference between hot/cold days, do I...
