due

Hi folks, yesterday, for the first time ever since ive had my FR TDI (18 months, 21k miles with me, 5k when bought) the engine idle was up near 1000rpm and it really sounded rough! There were no warning lights, however im sure this is a regeneration of the DPF taking place. Ive had a...

Hi, Im after a little advice. Since having a stage 1 revo on my cupra if im really giving it some beans and into the red my engine management light flashes. Its happened a few times but today flashed a few times and has now come on and stayed on. Do i need to take it back to the dealers to...

Hi there, My Cambelt/water pump service is due around now and I'm looking for someone half decent in the Leeds area that could do the work for me. I live pretty near the main Seat dealership in Leeds who have serviced my car since new but I fear they will charge me the earth for the...

Can anyone help: I slid across the road today in the back streets, due to the weather and i had no steering and this caused me to hit the kerb, on the downside i scuffed the front drivers side alloy wheel. It looks a mess can anyone tell me how much it would cost for a single new alloy and...

I've always run the most expensice fuchs long life oil, its quite pricey, but figured it was worth it as it was long life etc however, i'm finding that the LCR burns the long life oil so i have to keep replacing it, and i always get the service done on cue, so is this false economy? Can I...

cars due for a service... just wondering a good price out there for a full service? and how much parts would cost and where to source them... cheers....

well 2 weeks ago today i had washed my motor and was putting away before i went away, however when swapping cars round i didn't see my position coming up the drive as i was trying not to run over a cat and cut the corner and damaged the paintwork mostly the rear arch is scratched, got some of...

While scanning the site ive noticed a few people changing there cambelt at about 50k. mines coming up to 60k now and wondered wether its worth doin sooner than later?

With a lot of threads recently being about cambelts it actually got me thinking about mine and if it is due. I was under the impression prior to buying my LCR about a month back that a change was due after 5 years or 60k, which ever was first. :redface: However, now that I understand it is 4...

Hi All, I am needing to take my car somewhere for its ~30k service, however the local dealership (in Chelt) shut down several months back. It's not feasible for me to take the car any distance as I have to get to work etc. Does anyone know of any reliable garages they could recomend in...

Had a long drive today (car is brilliant in 4" of snow by the way!!) which added about 300miles to the clock. Its now at 8944miles. Its due for its 1st service in March some time. But when i started it to go to the shop it told me "Service due in 400 miles or 431 days" So, the computer...

Just been wondering if keeping the seat service history up on the car keeps any value on the car or going to a local garage would still be ok? also can anyone give me any advice on what will need doing and a rough total price. thanks :)

Only jus over 2 weeks and now im so excited bout having my pd100 mapped to greatness:D After reading peoples post/threads on p-torque's mapping, it made me book at date and get it done Wish the time was nearer than the 21st Feb;)

I know its been covered many many many times before, but I cant find a thread specifically quoting the right date in years and amount of millage. so i wanted to do a poll on when people had theirs done at !!

Ok, this is going to sound dumb to almost everyone of you but I am no stranger to making a fool out of myself. Anyway, I used the search but I could't find what I wanted. Basically, I started my car yesterday and instead of the mileage clock reading how many miles I have covered, it flashed...

Dash display tells me its 1st service time very soon, 1400miles to go.:blink: I'm pretty central in the midlands so I can be in Derby, Leics Notts & even Brum within 45 mins. I want to take her to a good dealer, I do have a cracking independant locally, but I'm not sure how that...

is the mk2 due for a facelift (major or minor) anytime soon? reason for asking is i'll be buying this year and would rather wait if updated model on the way.
