engine

I don't think I have ever had a car where it takes me so long to change the air filter, this should be a 5 minute job!! Admittedly I am being a bit cautious. Ive freed the hoses, unplugged the MAF connector and all ready to be removed un-restricted and all ive been told is pull the engine...

Ok, today i had a friend in my car, pulled up at his house to drop him off, didn't want to switch the engine off as it was only going to be quick, he got out and went to open the boot, as the car auto locks the boot wouldn't open, so i double clicked the unlock button on the keys whilst they are...

I bought a seat ibiza in January and it cost me over £500 to service it! When I got it back the engine started making a constant noise as if I were needing to go up a gear, but even after changing gear its still very noisy! Then the car decided that on ocassion it wont start, it just chugs...

hey, i'm looking out for a new car lately, and I've come a cross a 2008 leon (yellow ofcourse) 2.0tdi, now I've heard that these engines weren't good... but what are your experiences with it... pro's and con's ;) thanks

this problem does not affect the performance of the vehicle at all, i have a ibiza FR 1.9 tdi pd130, the car was in a crash prior to me purchasing, so that must be when this fault came along. when i turn the key to turn the engine off, it imediatly turns off the engine, there is no delay at...

Hi there, I have been searching in the net information regarding this engine that as far as I know is the one on the Cupra 241 hp (hope this is correct). The information is very general but I would like to go deeper: - Does this engine have 1 turbocharger or 2 like in the 1.4 TSI - In...

Hi, just wondering if the engine oil used in the ibiza 1.6 tdi's is called platinum? Any help would be great. Thanks

Just called into a SEAT dealer near work and heard the sales guy telling a customer that a new range of engines are on the way soon. Couldn't hear anything else. Anyone any ideas?

Hey guys, basically my engine is absolutly pitted. I had a daft hour hour cleaning it up earlier, it needs a hell of alot of work which i am going to do. Big improvement after only 30 mins of cleaning with just water and wd40, cant wait till the weekend to spend a good day on it, any tips would...

I have a 2001 AMK with stage 1 custom code and have recently taken it to JBS for a fault code i keep getting (17705) that puts it into limp mode on cold mornings. Also the MAF reading on VAG-COM gives me 182g/s on a log and JBS tell me that it is requesting 1.4 Bar but only making 1.2 Bar...

:think: hi guys im new to this site and seats in general. i just bought a toleda but the engines blown. its a straight diesel, not a turbo diesel. i was woundering would it be a big job to swap the engine for a tdi engine out of a golf/passat etc. what would i need, and how would i go about it...

My Engine Management light turned on and from the RAC they said it is the oxygen sensor... got a quote from a local seat garage and they said it would cost me £400. What would you guys recommend, i think £400 seems to expensive for just a sensor ?

What do you guys use to clean up the bay. At the moment mine is standard but very dusty. Want to get the thing looking like new! Well near as possible anyway..

While on the drive to UD, sitting at around 70-80 when I went to put my foot down a little, the car didnt want to know, just started shaking. It was only until I floored it that it started moving. It didnt happen all the time though :confused:? It did do it more on the way there than it did on...

Hey people, I want to put a 1.8T engine in my Ibizia S 1.4 Anyone know of any one who has done this or if its relatively easy? Cheers

Had a diagnostic done last week on 2001 20V 1.8 T Leon. The garage man said I needed new coils and plugs. So bought those from TPS Cardiff & fitted them yesterday. Engine seemed to be running better when I started it up, but checked oil level at same time. There was hardly any oil in it, and the...

I changed my air filter earlier after only 15K ....and it was pretty dirty. The book says its not due for about another 2 years or 40k!! Anyway, once I put the engine cover back on it felt like there was a bit of movement in it. I never noticed it when taking it of as I just started to tug...

I've just had a 105bhp head put on my 130 block, obviously had the 130 injectors put in the head but never changed the glow plugs because the head is quite new. Now it sounds like i'm starting the car on ancient glow plugs...like when you turned the key on old diesels before the glow plug...
