dilemma

on the 25th of April last year, i had my brake pads changed. now a couple of days ago, i noticed the remaining level on my pads is extremely low and would require changing anytime now. also, i have this shuddering when braking from high speeds. popped past my local VW a few days ago, and...

I didn't really know where to put this so i though here would be a good enough place. Moderators, please feel free to move it to a more appropriate section. :) Right here is my dilemma... I've been stuck on wanting to buy a Leon Mk1 for the past 2 years and have always wanted a Cupra R...

Guys I need your opinion. (If this is in the wrong place can a mod pls move, ta) I'm just back from my local SEAT Dealer, they're quoting £260 for my 20K service on my K1. Trouble is I'm also wanting them to install a new Forge DV I've purchased and the SEAT guy said they won't do it as...

Hi all, after discovering my saturated boot, my soaking wet passenger front and rear foot wells, and signs of mould I decided to investigate the problem. We found the rear washer tube had come off in 2 places! But could there be another problem? I've looked behind trim & door cards but cant see...

Basically, i'm selling my FR tdi BUT I don't really stand much of a chance whilst it has a single mass flywheel fitted (found this out today first hand). Anyone that has one or know someone that has one will know what I mean. So basically, i'm just trying to figure out my options (and what...

I have just bought a Leon and am undecided what to do with the ICE situation in the car. i have an Alpine 9880 head unit ready to come out of my Octavia and straight into my leon with the help of a fascia adapter. This unit has an ipod lead which i have found excellent during its time in my...

Recently bought a leon cupra tdi and am very happy with it :p Was all for getting it remapped (although worried about clutch) I currently drive about 350 miles a week, hence why i've got a diesal. Well due to an unseen change, in about 4-5 months my mileage should be reduced to about 150 a...

Afternoon all had my LCR a while now and the kirbing on the wheels needs sorting, my dilemma is i love the audi RS6 style wheels, so.......do i refurb the standard LCR rims in anthracite (on a silver LCR) or go anthracite RS6's? tried searching the internet for a pic of a silver lcr with...

Hi, can anyone help please? Recently taken my 2004 Leon 20VT Cupra to garage to have a threaded wheel nut removed and when i got it back the driver side door light, the alarm that goes off when you leave lights on wasn't working and more bizzarly the central locking seems to playing up a bit...

Hey, I have been planning to take my APP engine code Leon Sport in for a remap. Initially I was going for a stage 1 generic map, but then I bought a decat and downpipe so planned to go stage 2 as I was told that's the only way to remove the lamda from the ECU and would get 225hp...

I am planning to fit a cat back exhaust system soon with two oval exits at the back. The problem is, my car has a towing eye on the back right where one of the exhaust tips is expected to come out like so: Does anyone have an idea (aside from just getting a single exit) around this? Is...

Hi All, My 1.9 TDI PD (100bhp) ibiza has developed what i can only assume is an intermittant turbo. I was driving on the motorway (doing 75-80), put my foot down to over take, only to watch the rev counter struggle to move,:shrug: and consequently no power!:cry:I'm assuming this is...

Hi all, I have recently installed my ICE into my new car and at the moment I have my 6x9s and Sub running off one set of RCAs with a Y splitter. When I fade the stereo front and back and left and right it doesn't work properly. I have a seperate sub out put on my stereo and in fact I have 3...

I've got a snapped coil spring on my TDI and was going to just replace the spring, BUT, think this is a good excuse to fit a lowering kit. I've had coilovers on previous cars but with this being a family car i want something with near factory ride quality. I've always thought that Koni shocks...

I'm fed up with my A4 S-line looking like every other A4 S-line on the road, so i've decided a subtle makeover is in order. First stop is having all the chrome round the windows and grille painted matte black, second is tints, and finally some new rims! I'm having to stick to 18's as it's a...

had my 04 plate leon fr tdi for 3 yrs this october, so will be changing it at some point between September - November. i was intending to simply go for the mk2 fr tdi but since the new shape came out i've not been 100% sold on it ... although it's growing on me. so, i've narrowed my choices...

Hey guys i have the oppurtunity to purchase a set of door sills from a mk3 Ibiza but mine is a mk2! Would they fit accordingly my car do ya think?? :shrug:

Guys, Possibly not the best place to get an impartial view of the above question (I suffer from SEAT syndrome myself) but here goes anyway: I'm in Germany at the moment and I'm entitled to a tax free car. The cars are brand new and supplied through UK main dealers. Option 1: Leon TDi...

Hey people, i am seriously considering selling my ibiza cupra.Ive had 4of them now ranging from standard to 230bhp and had ihi at 342bhp. But im getting fed up with having the same car basically. I still love the cars and dont think i will ever change away from the vag group but just feel i need...

Hi Gents, I have a Leon TDI with a large sound system which I use in competitions... There are extra batteries etc in the boot which means the back end sits very low with all the weight... I'd like to improve the handling with a suspension kit, but full adjustable coilovers are a bit...
