drive

Evening all, Had a bit of a scare on the way in to work this morning! Basically, I'd noticed a knocking when braking/accelerating the previous day and was going to get the car booked in today, however the car obviously wasn't happy with that and decided to let me know it needed attention...

and heard nowt for over 10 days, has anyone else experianced this?:banned: Also can you get a dsg fr diesel?? or any sign of the cupra coming with dsg? Thanks:)

I took a 1.2 Reference Sport (07 plate) out for a test drive at a local dealer today. First impressions were good, very smooth and especially loved the gearbox which was slick with nice light clutch (in stark contrast to my MK3!) I took it down the motorway for one junction and then...

Well, I took out a 54 Reg Cupra TDI today for an extended test drive and thought I'd post my results. Now, since I've been 17 (now 22), I've always had revvy little Honda's and enjoyed every minute of spinning them up to 12,000 revs. So the whole diesel thing is completely new to me (although...

hi guys my engine management light has come on and is now flashing, on tick over the car is dropping revs and when i try to drive its all jumpy and spluttering in any gear, does anyone hav any ideas what the problem is, many thanx Lee

Hi all, I have sourced a new back box to replace mine which recently fell off but can't gte it fitted until Saturday. My question is - can I use my car (2001 ibiza cupra) for the day on Friday without a backbox without doing the car any harm? Thanks Rob

Very successful test drive of a new leon fr 170 tdi the other day. Got all of 500 yards from dealer and the car died. wouldn't restart, must have been electrical. Took out another one. Have to say it is quick (diesel quick) but feels old fashioned to drive in so much as it sounds too much...

Hi Guys, I havent really had to post much as every question i've ever had i've managed to find the answer for on here... great bunch of people, very helpful. :D Ok i've had my LCR for about 7 months now and all i can say is 'what a car!' ;) i've somehow managed to pump 12,000 miles out of...

Looking forward to this :D My local dealer has their demonstrator in and I have it for a couple of hours today (not doing the 24 hour thing, this is a more low key test). Don't get me wrong, I love my TDI Leon but there is part of me that really misses petrol and the longer rev range. I...

I'm proud owner of a Seat Leon TDI FR and found the transition from petrol to diesel better than I thought. Though however having driven 700 miles in about a month I've already had the DPF light come on three times, once at 300 to which the guy at New Southgate told me the method of clearing it...

Me and a mate went for a swift drive through the durham countryside today. Took the camera with me to:D The cars still totally standard at the moment.

Hay peeps, Got my coilovers fitted at the weekend, nice but not too low just yet as speedbumps on the way to work :-). However... I now have a fairly loud turney rubbing noise from the front which gets louder the faster I go, peask at about 75mph. I thought drive shaft but its not really...

Ok, i had to clean it so i only drove it from the power wash to the indoor area, but i still got to drive it;)

Does anyone know any places in and around the Colchester area that can fit the uprated drive disc which i will be getting from Allards in a week or so? The best price i have found so far is £170 + VAT from a garage in Ipswich. Also am i right in thinking that a drive disc is the same as...

Hi All, Just got into my sport pd130 this morn and i have no drive in 1st or 2nd gears any ideas however it does pull off in third and reverse. Anyone got any ideas what it could be?? cheers

Nothing amazing, just took a couple of pics when I was on holiday this week with my girlfriend in Wales. Pics are from in Snowdonia Park, dirty car, great views.

Just wondering how many people, waiting for their car to be delivered have/had another test drive getting itchy feet?!?!?:p

i have the option of 6 miles of stop/start roundabouts (about 6 roundabouts with dual carriadgeway and traffic jams in between, so tons of braking, idling, shifting forward 6 feet at a time, and flooring it). this is 6 miles there 6 miles back or 9 miles (9 there 9 back) of mostly motorway...

Anyone know the part number for the 3.94 final drive? Wanna price it up, if it's close to the price of finding a gearbox with this final drive and the cost of striping it to remove the final drive then it might be worth buying new :) Cheers

Just picked up my lcr from jp board after its 40k service and pretty pleased as I had the service plus an air con service for £2 cheaper than it would have cost at my nearest seat dealer for the 40k service alone. However....after i got in the car I checked the trip computer and low and...
