I have a 1.4 8v mk3 ibiza, how hard is it to drop a cupra engine in it? or is there any i can do without changing the loom?

Hi, done a bit of research and had a few conversations with mechanic mates etc but cant decide whether or not I should use an engine flush when servicing my LCR, the reason for not using a flush was because it may strip the engine of various essentials that need to be in there opinions please!!!

hey just after some inspiration really for my cupra 180. just curious what other people have done. thanks

Right - more of a nightmare. I'm REALLY pissed off to be honest after just speaking to the mechanic. I've got rid of my glow plug problems, it was just the plugs. The only problem I've noticed, apart from the lights on my dash & the error log, is that my car is taking MUCH longer to start than...

might be worth checking your engine cover to see these problems don't apply to your car - Cupra badge on right of cover is separate piece of plastic and is stuck to the cover with just a few small strips of doublesided tape, took almost no effort to remove from my cover, would make a mess of...

Alright guys, Just been down to my local Frosts Seat garage, after having a problem with the car, after pulling away in second, it would maintain a constant rpm, and carry on driving without me touching anything, which i was then told it was an anti-stall mechanism. But today the same thing...

Guys when my car is runnin over 2k revs there is a horrible intermittent high pitch squeak! Ive lived with it for abt two years, and has been taken to my local dealers about 5 times to try and repair the problem.....with no luck! I'm 99% certain its coming from the engine bay? :confused...

Not sure if this has been asked and answered before.. but couldn't find any info on it so please excuse me if im just repeating previous posts ;) right.. im looking at buying a mk4 ibiza, the original plan was the 1.8t cupra. However, would it be possible to fit a VW R32 engine into the...

Strange engine problem I have a cordoba 2.0 16v sx and if I drive it fast it will have no probs going to redline in 1st and 2cnd but when in 3erd 4th and 5ith it will only go to 5 and a half thousand rpm.it feels like a limiter had kicked in lol. has anybody got any ideas on what's wrong I did...

Hallo, For those of you who have made your cupra go nutts and remapped it, do any of you know if i should now be using different oil from what is recomended for the car!? cant find any prev threads about it on here!

Have had my engine management light come on right after i changed my glow plugs , have read the codes and am getting 17055-17058 so basically intermittent electrical signal on all four glow plugs. Ive looked at my fuses behind the drivers side door panel and cant see any blown ones , same with...

well basiclly if i have my throttle 1/4 way it will redline but if i press anymore than that it just at about 5k or 6k. the car runs fine with no missfire etc ticks over nice and the car car had a full service last ie.dizzy,coil,leads and oil etc. i got told that maybe its down to the tps...

As the title suggests, the yellow engine light has come on :( only had the car three days, f***s sake! So, what does it mean? Can I get into any sort of diagnostic to see what it's pointing at? Car is an 02 cupra, pre facelift if that makes any difference. Actually, according to the manual...

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...
