So I'm looking at buying a 2015 Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.4L TSI for around £10,000 with circa 35,000 miles on the clock and I just wanted to know if the later 1.4L engine was any more reliable? I've read a few horror stories regarding the engine but perhaps it only happens to the older models, or if...

Hello guys, i bought a 2011 ibiza cupra and the initial checkup brought up that it was due to change the coils so instead of getting the OEM ones i bought an NGK R8 Coils pack and i replaced them i also replaced the wiring as instructed but i noticed that lately when i cold start my car ( not...

hi, the engine shakes quite violently at idle. Doesn't matter if the car is up to temperature or not. Doesn't seem to do it as much if I keep on the throttle slightly to increase the idle speed. It has recently just come out of a garage with a new DMF & clutch, which they said was the cause...

Hey guys I've just placed my order for a Leon 2.0TSI 190BHP DSG and just wondered if anyone knew of any information on the engine? As I'd heard it's a detuned Golf GTI engine, but don't know if it's simply a de-tune or if the Turbo is different/smaller etc? Just heard it was an EA888 Gen 3.

Hello to everyone. First off I absolutely love my mk2 Cupra. Previously owned a mk2 diesel FR. Looking for some advice if possible and apologies if it's already been covered. There is a knocking noise coming from near side wheel area when I turn slow and tight. I'm thinking I have an issue...

Hey guys!! Really thinking of buying a Cupra 300 or whatever they are after the new testing fiasco. Was wondering how are the 2.0TSI engines because I've been reading a lot of bad stuff about them but the only info i find is about the older ones. Are they still that bad or there are new...

Hey guys and gals, my poor Leon has been sitting for a week, and has got my local mechanic stumped. Last week, after the engine warmed up, I had a red oil light flash with 5 beeps. I pulled over, checked the oil, and everything seemed fine. I got it home, and even though there were no lights at...

Purchased a seat ibiza mk5 2009 1.4 petrol , I've read a mixture of opinions but excessive fuel consumption seems to be a common issue with these older generation engines, got to a point where I can't establish whether there is a serious issue that is causing this I am not aware of, maybe faulty...

So last night on my way home from work(work in london so commute on a train, car had been stood since Sunday) i noticed a little puddle under my Cupra 280. On closer inspection it appeared to be dripping from the under tray on the drivers side. Stuck my hand under the car to feel the substance...

Hi all, I've had this problem a few times now and it only happens in the weather. The engine will crank over as if to fire up but it fails to start, it will do this a few times and eventually fires up into idle, I did a service on it in March. Having searched online for possible causes it seems...

Hello, I have recently discovered a weird creaking/rattling noise which only occurs when the car starts to accelerate after coasting at idle speed. If I put it in 2nd and slow down so that the car is moving using engine idle and then accelerate, the creaking noise happens and then goes away...

Hi Everyone, I've had a Full THS FR3 kit fitted to my Cupra R for about 6 months. Unfortunately the bolts that attach an engine mount (not the THS part apparently) to the engine block have for some reason sheared off and caused not only the obvious failure to the engine mount but also a...
