engine

Hello! I have the car for about 1 month and today when i started it in the garage a clicking sound or more like tapping sound was clearly audible (1.4 engine). Is it normal ? After a few minutes the sound fades away, also while the sound is present if i accelerate the car the sound also stops...

So it came down to loosing cylinder 1 after 94k of running beautifully next query I’m having the engine rebuilt what’s the easiest method to remove it as I’m not to sure with the Dsg box ect is it up and out to I drop it out or do I need to strip the whole front end thanks

Had a service yesterday. They flagged that the rocker cover gasket needed replacing, and the front lower arm rear console bushes are beginning to delaminate, so I’m guessing they’d need replacing too. Any idea how much these parts would cost? They also flagged a minor oil leak at the rear of the...

Hi everyone 👋 After a reasonably long journey I made the other day in the hot weather we've been having, I noticed a rattle coming from the engine bay. On closer inspection I narrowed it down to the driver's side timing chain / serpentine belt area. I managed to get a couple of videos of it...

I am tempted to have a tune put on my 2017 seat ibiza fr, it has a 1.0 tsi with 95hp. People sometimes tell me it's bad for the engine and I shouldn't do it, but then when I ask how much does the engine actually suffer, the response is mostly like "the car will drive 280.000km instead of...

Hello, I took my partners Ibiza for a winter health check at Seat mostly because she was worried about the battery and it seemed the cheapest way to get it checked. This was a week and a half ago. When she was on the way to work on Saturday the engine temperature light came on and the car kept...

So basically, I need a new engine for the FR, which is currently stage 2+. Found a CDL engine which i’m interested in, and just want to know how straight forward the swap will be. My budget does not allow for the turbo and injectors, so those are 2 things that I will need to upgrade to later...

Hi, my first thread so apologies if nothing is clear lol I have a 59 plate Seat Leon FR TDI 2.0 (170) My sister started it up and drove for about 5 minutes before the orange coil light started flashing. She pulled to the side and turned the car off in hope that the light would disappear when...

Wondering if anyone can help me identify what this noise is. We thought it was chatter from the dual mass Flywheel, but the noise is still there even after the clutch and DMF have been replace. (I didn't replace them due to the noise, the CSC failed). When replacing the DMF there was some play...

Hey, again not sure if i’m posting in the correct area. I have a 2011 Seat ibiza Cupra 1.4tsi, and i’m having a problem with it. I’ve owned it for a year now, and ever since i’ve been trying to figure out the cause of the issue i’m having but garages can’t seem to figure it out without...

This is the state of my dash at the moment :( 2L Diesel. Noticed a rattle/knocking noise from exhaust area when starting car at the weekend (from cold). I opted not to drive it since then. So I went to get more info just now and current state: - engine turns over and starts ok - first time...

Im yet to get my seat ibiza 2011 but I was wondering if the cupra R has the same chassis and if an engine swap would be possible?

Hi guys, I really need some urgent help! So 6 month ago my ibiza 6J CAVE engine started white smoking and lost power. I then parked it up on my drive and tried to diagnose the problem. I had a snap on code reader put on it and it came back saying that the fueling wasn't correct. Could this be...

Good evening all. I have a 16 plate Leon FR184 Diesel hatchback and am enjoying every second of owning it. However lately I have noticed this odd noise when the engine is started (cold engine only) and then when car gets to its normal temperature no noise is present. I am struggling to find...

Towed my car and started it once we stopped the engine sounded like a bunch of empty bottles being hit together really loud rattling, prior to this all I did was change the turbo, put new seals in the Injectors, new fuel filter and changed the fuel lines the car has drove with plenty of power...
