cooling

I have a 51 reg Ibiza cupra. A few days ago i noticed that the noise the car makes when you switch off the engine has stopped. It used to make a noise for about 5 mins. Also when i was sat in traffic yesterday the engine temp got to about 115 and the light came on but the fans didn't kick in...

Hi all One morning last week my cooling fans came on when i had just started the car, i hadn't even left the drive and they were going flat out but only for around five to six seconds. Since then they keep running on and off like this at random times and when i have checked all the coolant...

We've just added a mk1 leon cupra (2003) to our 2001 ibiza cupra. The ibiza continues to make a noise after switching off for 10 minutes. I always believed that this was the coolent that continued to flow to cool the turbo. The Leon doesn't make the same noise afterwards. Can anyone shed any...

Ok iv done the search thing and there is a lot of issues with cooling fans on vag cars, but this is my problem When in traffic with air con on, both radiator fans will come on full power about every 3-5 min, I dont think they come on when driving hard to tell obviously. If i turn off aircon...

Just got a 93 Golf 1.9d. Any clues how to get a previous owners light coating of oil out of the cooling system? is there some strong flushing stuff you can get? Aparently the oil cooler for the engine is leaking oil into the system so they have bypassed it, but im going to refit a new one...

Not a great day for the cupra yesterday! Got a 6" crack across my windscreen which got bigger and bigger every mile i drove! Then while parked up for bout 20mins with the engine running it started to overheat, which had never happened befor. Then when i got home and stoped the engine and...

I was wondering if it's better in winter to block a part of the front holes in the bumper and the grille. Would the engine take less time to heat up in the morning? Currently it needs about 10km to get to working temperature and I know some diesel car owners block their front grille in...

Where would be the best place to put a cooling device on a LCR with FMIC? Im looking at putting either a mini refrigeration until or a petlier (sp?) on wither the airbox to cool it down or either the inlet or outlet of the manifold. Now this man not be worth it but for £20 I thought id give it...

Just had my LCR in the dealers to sort out the air con, and they have said the fault was the fans, and they needed to be replaced, (only £366![:@] ). Driving home i noticed that the air con didn't seem as cold could it need re-gassing as it is 3 yrs old, ( but the dealer was told to check it)...

Well I've had the car for 3 months now with no trouble. But saturday afternoon the temp warning light came on. So I checked the water level and it was fine. I put the heating on full hot but only got cold air out, so I'm now thinking that the thrmostat is at fault. So the 2 things I would like...

My car went in yesterday to have both of the cooling fans replaced under warranty, now its done the air conditioning works better than it ever has....could this be linked?

when i start my car the silloete of the car on your centre display flashes 5 times. the book says cooling system fault. any ideas!!

should the 2001 leon cupra have the electronic water pump which runs for a few mins after youve turned off the engine or not? my ibiza had it, but ive not noticed it on the leon?

Has anyone experienced the following Diagnostic fault: 17704 - Error in Mapped Cooling System So far Seat have replaced the Temperature Sensor, but the fault light came back on. It's booked in for all next week to give them plenty of time, but any advice from others would be greatly received.
