failure

My Alhambra 56 is now in the garage having had an oil pump failure, with 37k on the clock. Thankfully just in warranty, and Seat has now (with proof needed from the garage at each stage), replaced a the short engine, head and now the turbo ... and then found that head to have an oil fault, so...

Ok guys Need some help on what i actually need to do with my car as it failed its MOT today It failed on a steering rack boot. Also had 3 advisories which to be honest im not going to worry about as they can be easily cured, apparently my brakes are at 57% efficiency so im assuming they...

Hi all, I visit today hoping for a glimmer of hope as my much loved Mk1 Leon Cupra stands outside in an induced coma. :cry: Whilst driving home on Saturday I was hit with the flashing oil light & three beeps signifying low oil pressure. I stopped immediately & not understanding what this...

My cordoba failed miserably on emissions amongst other small things. The MOT tester said the cat back system and a pipercross filter caused it to fail. They cant make that much differance can they.

Can someone please tell me if the secondary water pump is meant to run every time you switch the engine off?

hi all new to the forums here and wondered if anyone could shed any light on an issue i seem to have; I have an 07 altea xl 2.0tdi (140) stylance and recently i have noticed that the dash lights up showing i have a faulty bulb... having checked all the lights etc to find that they all are...

Tried to open the passenger window last night, and was greeting with a few seconds of crunching, whirring and rattling, but no window opening!. Sounds like the motor is ok, but whatever mechanism linking it to the actual window has broken. Anyone had anything similar and aware of the cost of...

Does this look way too low? :S this side is lower than the driver side update, just noticed the front left suspension, it doesn't look good!!! guessing need a new suspension :S

Having recently upgraded from an Ibiza Cupra to a Leon FR, I encountered my first problem today. Emissions light followed by DPF a little later on. Reading other threads, I'm hoping it's just an exhaust pressure sensor. It also happened right after a service, which seems to often be the case...

Hey there :) on friday after finishing work, cars been running fine until about 5 ish on friday when i just nipped out.... was waiting to go right at a junction, pulled off and CLUNK!!!!! a noisy loud clunk/ vibrate from underneath my seat/ handbrake area. so straight away i pulled over...

at 20,000miles approx I had the DPF and Emmisions light come on together, into dealer and diagnosed as a faulty exhaust pressure sensor, replaced and all OK, Its now happened again at 43000 miles, do these things only last 20K, and how much will it cost me next time when it is out of warranty...

Just thought I'd better post this for anyone else that may be waiting on this happening or thinking of purchasing G-max suspension in the future. A Couple of days ago I started hearing a knocking noise from the front nearside or my Leon Cupra. There seemed to be a fair bit of play in the rear...

Hi folks, Last weekend I sold my Leon Cupra VT privately, today I've had a call from the new owner telling me the PAS has failed and that the car is undrivable. He's had it to the closest place that could look into it (unfortunately that was National Tyres). One of the mechanics at NT has...

Hi! I'm having some boost issues at the moment and therefore I made a pressure test of my system. I then discovered via. vagcom that my MAP sensor only read up till 1400 mbar, which I thought was a bit odd, as I had 1bar in the system! Is this some kind of "safety" **** when the car is...

I thought VAG had fixed this issue but our Ibiza had no 1 cyl coil pack fail for the 4th time. :wtf: This is beyond annoying now, and of course always happend at a really inconvenient moment. Last one was only 6mths ago, and was shortly after the car had a major service and the plugs...

Has anyone else had their heater / aircon blower motor fail ? My '06 Toledo with 55K miles has just eaten its second. It hasnt stopped completely, but has developed a bad squeak - that sounds like semi-seized bearings / bushes - same as the first one. My guess is that after a winter of sucking...

Anyone ever had the experience of a diesel engine failing on them in a car with less than 30k on the clock?

Went for the annual MOT Test and failed!! evryfing was fine!! except for one thing the emissions test? !! looking at the print out of the emissions test... it failed on the CO (Carbon monoxide) evrything passed lambda and HC... i Have a blue flame turbo back exhaust with sports cat which isnt...

hi guys tried using the search bar but we really dont get on lol if i de-cat my fr130 will it still pass the mot? reason being is sport cats are alot more expensive than decats!!! thanks simon

Just want to confirm that others agree that this is coilpack failure as have just been out running some logs on differnet air filters and pootling along, lovely lots of power, and then sudden loss of power, engine management light on and, with my laptop to hand, the 3 faults below popped up:-...
