driving

Yes, another Leon owner suffering from a really irritating dash rattle. I've had the stereo and climate control panels out and tried Carnivors cure of adding to the padding on the air distribution unit. Unfortunately, this hasn't cured the problem. I've had a good poke around and I just cant...

can anyone help i drive a 1.8 20vt cupra, the car is fine in a straight line and round a right hand bend but when going round a left hand bend the car misfires and then only boosts to 5psi. then you lay off the accelorater and it fine. it seems strange how its only round a left corner.

Hi all, Does anyone know how to deflect/alter/reset the xenon beams for driving abroad? It could be done for the MK1 Leon apparently, using a switch on the lamp housing although this involved a bumper removal! I travel to France regularly and would love to avoid a trip to the stealer each...

Hi All At the end of July I will be taking my LCR to France for 10 days. Has anyone else driven their UK car in Europe before? Reason I ask is that I will need to get headlight diverters but I'm not sure where to get them from or where they stick to the headlight because there are no...

I have spent the last few weeks taking various parts of my car apart desperately trying to find a nasty creaking in the rear of my Cupra. It's a 2000 W so I know it's old and shold buy a new car if I want a creak free one, but I really want to get rid of this one. So far I have tried the...

Hi all In the summer I'm hoping to be doing a gumball rally-esqe trip to Spain with 500 other students. I noticed that some of you had done rally sort of things and coud do with your advice. I'm going to get my ibiza fr tdi Revo'd in the near future, but would an FMIC be required to be...

for those of you who have turbos, who lets there car iddle after hard driving and how long for? I generally leave mine iddling for a minute or so. I did this before and after remapping.

from work last night, booted it and heard a loud pop. Lots of smoke out the back and started juddering up the hill with no turbo. I thought that the turbo had blown! Spoke to the place i bought it from where it is now and they have told me that the boost pipe has come off. He says he's going to...

Well after spending around £550 on a full service and to get my cupra fixed im still having problems :( All the engine lights are out now so the main issues have been fixed (new MAF and Lambda) however i am now getting a bit worried about this new problem! Basically when the car is moving...

Ok which is best? 1) Let the car warm up for a few minutes first. or 2) Just switch on and drive. I have however been following the instructions in the manual about turning the key half way, until the coil warmup light goes out then turning the key all the way to start the engine...

Have just driven home from a mates and started the journey in limp mode with no boost over 5psi.. Yep still having issues lol Anyway after about 10 minutes of driving it went back to normal and started boosting fully again... I thought you had to reset the ECU or at least turn the engine...

First of all, happy new year everyone ;) My car seems to have developed a strange problem... Basically, when I switch the ignition on - 70% of the time I’m hearing a clicking sound. The same sound then reoccurs randomly when driving. I couldn't work out what it was to begin with, but...

I have got an altea 2.0tdi dsg sport with the 17's and although it isnt snowing yet, i guess it may do over the next few months if we are lucky. Does anyone have any experience of driving the DSG in the snow. As far as i am aware you cant drive off in second? The best you could do i...

Hey, i was driving home this evening after the end of a wee trip to Dundee - when i was coming through Inverbervie 40-50mph when all of a sudden the battery light came on and i lost all power - luckily i was in a position to stop and restart (which it did no problem) but has this happened to...

I have fr tdi with revo and I was wondering how you guys drive yours. For example do you rag it to the red line or chane at 3k. Any tips will be appreciated. Thanks

I've been searching through this forum trying to find someone with a similar problem to mine. Basically, during steady driving, i.e. constant speed not flooring the throttle, the power seems to cut out for a fraction of a second and then come back to normal again which produces a jolting...

The central bit of my dashboard creaks and squeaks like mad! Anyone else had this problem and fixed it? Cheers

Very odd thing happened this morning Just let home and was driving around 40mph as I accelerated for a few seconds the battrery light began to flash. It flashed a few times and then went away and thats it. Car did not feel any different. All I had running extra was radio, and aircon...
