Greetings, I am doing (almost) complete overhaul of my 2007/8 Cupra. I have everything ready besides big end conrod bearings. Are these the correct ones https://www.ebay.ie/itm/MAIN-SHELL-BEARINGS-KOLBENSCHMIDT-77-537-600/263308101716?hash=item3d4e62c854:g:Ox0AAOSwSQFaAxZA ? It fits way too...

Hi, I've a couple of questions, I'm sure they are common faults, but I'm new to the Cupra/1.8T lump. It is really not happy from cold, starts fine and revs up ok, but try to engage some sort of forward momentum and it just bogs down when the clutch is released, give it a bit of just keep...

This morning I drove to Motech in Northampton and had my AMD map removed and an Oscarli one put on my FR. The car feels good and I have a lot of trust that this will be the end to my problems. The mapper is very experienced with diesels and DPF. When the AMD map was looked at it was discovered...

I've noticed today that my rear end of my cupra isn't sitting quite right. The passenger side is sitting about .5 - 1 inch lower than the drivers. Anybody any idea what is likely to cause this or could it be a million and one things? Springs/struts look ok from what I can see.

hi everyone, stuck in traffic today and had a wild thought not sure if it will work but thats why i'm here so here goes would it be possible to get the mk1 leon cupra r front end fit my mk4 ibiza to make a "bolf" kind of conversion, i am aware if it will fit i'll have to purchase the wings...

well the dreaded mot is at the end of the month with me owning the ibiza less than a year i have never gone thru a mot with her so im very nervous like when you see blue flashing lights in the rear view :) so is there anything i should check over before i send her away to be tested

Hi all - had my car crashed into at the gym today - front bumper is smashed, grill surround broken, indicator cracked and possibly headlight needs to be replaced. I think the wing and bonnet are fine but need to check in the morning - just as a first impression before I start hunting round...

I've heard it's the new code for the older BKC engine but i'm only interested in the cylinder head and if it'll fit onto an ASZ lump, obviously after changing the injectors over. I know the BKC will fit but i'm not sure if the BXE head is exactly the same as it's a newer code and might have...

last week i came home and parked my ibiza fr tdi and was just sat in it for about 10 minutes and noticed an unusual noise and smoke coming through the front grille? it was sort of like a steamey smoke, dont have a clue were it came from? i turned the engine off and turned it back on and it was...

ok a few weeks ago when we had bad snow my car decided to leave the road and hit a concreate lampost luckily enough i was only doing about 15 mph. so anyway after taking off the bumper the front crash bar had bent in but just missed the radiator and the headlight lugs snapped on the nearside...

wat u reckon? would it fit? i quite like the way it looks on the mk3. i know it would require alot: front bumper, slam panel, reinforcer bar???, wings, grill, headlights, bonnet. maybe more. radiator too? :think: this is only a theoretical question for now....

Some pictures of the motor in the snow - very dirty, sorry. Then some pictures of new front very clean - had bonnet sprayed looks like new now. Just debating whether to put the cupra r splitter back on? Also comments welcome and appreciated on the top pre-facelift grilles. I never really...

Thought I’d give an ‘end of term’ write up now that my ‘57’ plate Candy White Leon FR TDI is going back to the leasing company after two years of ownership. Alows me to give my thoughts as well as consideration to anybody who is thinking of getting one. Firstly, reason for getting the car...

I have been reading about knocking noises being caused by the older style end stops. I want to check mine whilst I have the time. Does anyone have a picture of what I am looking for? thanks!

Ok, on my cupra Tdi ihave had a droning noise from the front end. Initially i thought it was Wheel bearings as i see they can be common problem on the mk4 and the car has covered 50k which is whel bearing territory. So i booked it in to seat and they said they checked the beaings and it was...

Right guys today was the last straw when the bonnet locked its self and i broke the front bumper, no long have intrest in the car and need to find another soon, may spit it for bits wen i have more time but financally its a wreck and no chance of geting an engine for months and by then alot will...

I've trioed a search but didn't really find what i was after. What size (ID) is the small end of a forge tip? the end that fits on the turbo is the one i'm after please! Mucho Graci!

hi i was going round a round about in the wet tonite around the 30 mph mark and the back end just went sideways on me.The tyres are new and scared the crap out of me,has anyone had the same problem the bushes are ok to.Is there an antiroll bar in the back or anything,oh its a 2000 ibiza cupra...

It has happened a few times now, but today when i went from a left hand corner to turn into a right hand corner, the frot end of the car dipped and lost power, it felt like a starvation of fuel or something as it kicked straight back in and accelerated half a second later? Do i need to...

Last Wednesday the DPF warning light came on after a long motorway run, which didn't seem right....first time in 25k miles. The same evening the glow plug and engine management lights came on in quick succession and the car went into "limp" mode. Took the car to the dealers on Thursday morning...
