failure

I've just had a call from SEAT to say my 1.2 has failed its MOT on emissions. They're saying it's the cat and that there's a 'hole in the honeycomb'. Is this likely to have happened? I can't imagine they'd be having me on? It's the 4th year service and my ibiza's only done 16000 miles. If I get...

Stuck my Cupra in for it's MOT today And it's failed :censored: Nothing too major just on emissions and a sidelight bulb, which must have just gone as i checked them last weekend as nights are getting darker :doh: The emissions are ever so slightly out of the specified range...

Sorry for not searching for answers on this, I’m sure you can appreciate, I’m not in the mood! Bit of background: My car is a 210 LCR, 03 plate with 40k miles. It has a full main dealer service history. Services always carried out 1k or so before required, last service (40k) was at 38k. I...

Hi Guys, I'm sure I read something about the plastic impellor failing in the waterpump on mk3 ibizas but I can't find the thread anywhere. What is the situation with them? Thanks Rob

Hi all Great day for a drive or what! Except today I managed to KIA my water pump!:blink: Does anyone know the code for it or its proper name so I can order one, it sits right behind the driver side headlight, it sounds like hell under my bonnet, people were looking over worryingly it sounds...

Hi everyone. I have not posted many threads but have read alot. Any way a warning to all cupra r owners I have a 2005 LCR registered march have covered 84000 miles. Cruising at 70 mph on motorway lost all power. It turned out cam belt tensioner arm failed striped the cam belt. Now need new...

Just had 3 coil packs fail in 3 hours :cry: first one was cylinder 4 3 weeks ago todays were number 3 then 1 then 2 how bizzare maybe its because i called the car a :censored: so it is giving me payback?

I'm not having fun any more: I refer you to my potential dodgy car post - http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=130024 Anyhoo - I got a connects2 adapter for my car. The wrong one, it turns out - anyway, I pulled out the stereo disconnected the power leads and realised it was...

well after my car failed its mot due to emissions on sat, taken to the garage today and dropped off lambda sensor checked and was ok before i left, oil sump pipe was nearly closed and full of gunk. be interesting to see if this is the whole cause or that plus the cat, as it was basically...

My seat ibiza 2.0 8v cupra failed mot on emisions. Changed oxygen sensor but failed again .Any ideas please Cheers Paul

Just wondered if anyone has anyone experienced a simlar problem?! Got an '04 Leon Cupra and whilst driving over a speed bump yesterday (within the speed limit!) one of the front springs broke, with a 3 inch piece literally being sheared off!! Have booked it in to the dealer for next week...

Hi people, Got my car booked in to dealers for MAF fault tomorrow (diagnosed by DPJ with vagcom- mass air flow sensor signal too low, intermittant) What I want to know is if anyone has had the following symptom with MAF failure before. Had just filled car up at petrol station and when i...

After several posts about poor idling I seem to have got to the bottom of the problem. It seems that my timing is out (the error code said something about poor correlation between cam sensor and crank sensor). The guy at the garage says it's either a slipped belt (car has done 51k and to my...

hi guys my 04 LCR i think has the dreaded water pump failure driving along itshoots to 120degree's then when on idle drops to 90 within 2 mins. Now iv heard the coolant sensors can fail?? I drove the car for 2 miles this morning and it reached 110-120 i pulled over and opened the...

Had problems with poor idle, misfire and throttle hesitation. Disconnected MAF and problem went away (traction control light came on for some reason as well). I replaced the MAF today and the car is fixed. Apart from the idle is still not brilliant. When the MAF was disconnected, it was...

Had me car about a month now and took it in for MOT this week ('95 beeza 2.0 gti), failed on a quite a bit, chassis welding, brake pipe corroded, front lower arm bush worn, track rod end and the most puzzling of all front springs!! Car is currently fitted with a set of Apex 35mm lowering...

My car just failed it's MOT on brakes and apparently new discs and pads are needed all round? Here's the details from the certificate: 001 - Front (both on inside edges) brake discs excessively pitted 002 - Rear (both) brake disc excessively scored As a result, I've got to try and get...

MOTs fast approaching and just had a daunting thought. My passenger window regulator is nackered, the window does go up + down but very slowly and you have to keep pushing the button each time to get it moving! Seat have quoted me £210 for the job (is that about right?) but dont think i got the...

My front left window is stuck on my Cordy '06. :( The right window has no problems. All fuses check out ok. I get some sort of clicking sounds from inside the front left door when pressing the button. What could be wrong?
