Bit worried about this what can it be? Car seems to have loss of power from 3rd onwards. Like it's not letting all the power through. Does not seem to be the dpf as the light has nit come on. Is it safe to drive with this as I need to get home?

Hi, I'm having a problem with my Mk1 Leon TDi. On saturday was driving along and the engine completely dies. I was able to restart the car and continue but it did this a couple more times (sometimes I was able to restart it straight away, sometimes i had to wait a few mins first). Called...

I'm interested to know about this as I've searched, but struggle to find much in-detail information. I hear different Turbo's metioned like K03 & K04 Models mentioned. Which is best & whats a good choice of Hybrid Turbo for this engine? Is it possible to gain 300 BHP from this engine...

Hi guys i own a 02 cupra 1.8 20vt, and the above mentioned light has come on.. my owners book says it means excessive emissions. Could this cause damage to the engine? is it safe to drive -- as its still driving perfect.

Disclaimer - yes I did search first :) Just got my LCR in February, it got a service and MOT at the dealer I bought it from before I took delivery of the car. For the past 2 or 3 weeks I've noticed that the word "service" flashes constantly on the mileage display on the speedo when the...

I have just bought my mates daughters 58 plate 1.9tdi sportrider with 9k on it and 18m old, i notice the car has no engine cover ? but has the round runner ring under the oil filler cap and a bracket with a post on it above the alternator. Has someone pinched mine? or dont they come with a...

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!
