diesel

Had a quick search but couldn't see anything. Saw this thread on Briskoda last week and wondered if anyone here had tried it? I got some Castrol 2T on Saturday night and tried 100ml in a full tank. Can't really say I notice a difference but not done many miles on it yet...

Just found this on the bay. NEW SEAT LEON IBIZA TDI TURBO DIESEL DUMP VALVE Has anyone ever heard of these actually doing what it says, cause I always thought a D/V on a derv had no effect at all except noise. I was also informed that a D/V on a derv could lose you power. Please correct...

I have just purchased a 1.4 tsi mk2 leon. I noticed it was very noisy on idle. Dealer initially diagnosed "cam follower problem" and I left them with the car. After help from Seat UK they said it was just a noisy fuel pump [which is driven from the camshaft on these engines]. They said they...

Hi :) New kid on the block here! I'm looking for a bit of feedback regarding Millers additive. :help: I've got a new MK5 1.9 TDi. I've read previous threads regarding it's use and the high regard it's given. I'm seriously thinking of using it but I'm curious if I do, will it void my...

Hi Guys. Fist time i have run the car on the strip since i had the head done and all i can say is WOW the extra power REALLY helped. most of my times were around the 14.00 mark but i did have a couple of really nice runs but with the weather so hot for most of the day was struggeling big...

After over a month now of trying to find another car to replace my ibiza, I decided on wanting to keep in the SEAT family and get a Leon... but after a bit research I discovered you can get the same amazing chasis & engines, but in saloon form for about a grand less when compared with the Leons...

Its been a while since posting in the MK2 forum as I sold my FR TFSI to buy a house. The job I'm now doing means I'm covering 20 to 25K per year and my MK1 Cupra is having a love affair with the petrol station; driving carefully I'm regularly seeing 38-40mpg however filling up every 2 days is...

I fill up at my tesco garage every 2 weeks. Last time I filled up was on Sunday. I have since driving 200-300 miles since then. Anyway last night I drove for about 20 seconds turned round the corner and my car went dead. I thought maybe I never had enough power to keep it going in 3rd. Anyway I...

Hello all, I understand Threads come up quite frequently on different fuels. I'd like to hear from those with the Diesel FR, and their thoughts on which Diesels bring out the best in these cars - performance mainly ;) (but also considering economy). I have had my FR for a short time and...

Evening All, I am looking into buying an Altea for the wife, not sure about petrol or diesel yet but heard things about VAG's and the DPF filters on diesels. A local Audi dealer was talking about problems with the filters filling up every two weeks on short commuting journeys on a 1.9 TDI...

Heys, I should be getting my new diesel really soon. I've only driven diesels since passing my test and never used either premium diesels or any additives. By premium i mean thins like optimax or Vpower . I was wondering if 'std' diesel + millers (or similar) is the same as using a...

Is this possible? Has anyone got one? Is it worth it? I had one on my old rover turbo and loved it (little bit of a show off) and where i can hear something chirp quietly when i lift off, sometimes i think i'd like something just a bit louder. A hesitation I do ave though is that it would go off...
