Ive just bought an SDI Ibiza which im collecting this weekend, now I know the TDI is the better one, but im not a banker so dont have enough money for one of those. Having worked on petrols ive used things like throttle body cleaner to clean up the engine and get it running well. Id be...

Just sold my 03 leon cupra :cry: Gonna look at getting in ibiza FR, havent decided to go for petrol or diesel yet, although the economy and performance potential of the diesel is swaying me. I test drove a mk2 leon last week, 2.0 Tdi sport and it sounded horrible..like a well old diesel. My...

Hi I am in the process of buying a Seat ibiza and went to see one today. It was a 1.2l, 2003 with 79,000 on the clock. What I found unusual is that it sounded like a diesel from inside the car. Not the knocking type of an old diesel more like a modern diesel. From the outside it sounds fine and...

People on this site tell me my car doesn't have an o2 sensor. Ok, that is probably true. What then checks the exhaust gases to make sure that the right mixture is being created? How does it know when to change the mixture? and when it can use the EGR valve? I have been reading loads...

Hi all, Can anyone recommend me a diesel specialist in West Yorkshire? Somewhere in the Huddersfield / Wakefield / Bradford / Leeds area would be ideal. I think I have some form of injector fault :-( Cheers, Matt

Of late I have had some starting issues with my 2.0 TDi Stylance being very hard to start from hot. To get it started it would turn over and over and would require some throttle to finally get it going. Also I noted on a cold start quite a lot of grey/blue smoke once intially started. I've...

Hi all, Well my trusty old 2002 TDI Toledo 110 had its MOT on Saturday and got through OK.. I happened to notice the Diesel Emissions test as the bloke did it out side with some kind of wireless link to the kit inside. It was 0.93 something's, not sure of the units !! Well...

On last nights "Fifth Gear" they were testing performance Diesel fuels and had a humble Citroen C5 estate on the Dyno. Std Supermarket fuel gave 155 Bhp, whereas Shell V Power and BP Ultimate Diesel both gave 161 Bhp. I was wondering if you FR Tdi boys had noticed a difference ? Pity...

I've had a search on here and it seems that everyone has their water pump done at the same time as their cam belt service. Mine's a 4 1/2 year old mapped 150 TDi Leon, 50k miles. The garage I've booked it in to said they don't do the pump on diesels as they don't need it - should I get it...
