fast

Its only happened twice since i got the car about 2 months ago but it worries me!! i was driving and indicating to change lanes and the indicator light on dash and noise was really fast (couldnt see if the lights were any faster) i turned them off and they have been fine since. But it...

Hi, I had driven my LCR about 2miles and before I knew it my temperature alarm was going off, it was at 120. So i pulled over, left the engine off for about a minute, started it up again and it was at 90 (normal). Got about 400 meters and pulled into a garage, the temp was at about 100 when I...

I went from a Leon 20VT (180+chip), to a LCR 210 a few months back.:) This whole time I've thought that the LCR's performance was similar to my previous car. (About same weight and power.) But now I've compared "in gear" acceleration in both. The 20VT did 80-120kph in 4. and 6. gear in 4.5 and...

Just recently (maybe related to the hot weather?) although not every time, when I start up my Leon TDI 110 (02 plate - 49k, quite recently dealer serviced) the idle will sometimes rise to a steady 1100 rpm approx where it will sit for anything up to about 30-40 seconds, then return to it's usual...

Hi guys, Did a search on grinding noise but couldn't really get an answer. Basically just had a country lane thrash and every fast corner i took that was tightish the car was making a really loud grind. It was doing this before, but one real sharp corner came up at 60ish and now it makes...

had a race off the lights with a bmw m5 last night in my lcr (not the new 500bhp one). The guy was sat at the lights pressing all his buttons on his computers and gear box to change all his settings with a big grin on his face, he got a better start but after bout 50 yards i just pulled...

Well I have had the car three days now (225 Cup) and what can I say?? I don't want to hear hysterical laughter and mocking vibes. It's acceleration is pants (to go on the big ass)!! Why did I buy a 16 valve car after a 20 valve? Why didn't one of you lot suggest this might be noticeable...

Just met up with a Skoda Forum member who's running a 100pd Fabia. Been breathed on by Allards, with 130pd injectors, FMIC, and VNT17. Now sitting at 180+bhp and 320lb/ft of torque. :clap: Yes I've seen the RR print from Stealth Racing. By god it pulls like a train. I just couldnt believe how...

I tried a search of two but to avail, I had my engine management light come on last night and now won't go away? but now I seem to get my tickover rising to about 2000rpm then settles down but come back again this morning, anyone have any ideas what could be wrong

Hi people, I was just wondering if there is such thing as a faster syncing cable on VAG COM. I notice that on version 3.1 when i test my cable it says "fast sync compatible : NO" I have tried this with third party cables based on both opto couplers and an more modern (version 4.x...

Does anybody feel as thought their Ibiza has a handling problem at high speeds (on duel carrage ways and motorways)? I feel as though I am wrestling with the wheel when I hit the 70 / 80 on the motorways. It doesnt even have to be very windy but as soon as I pass a high sided van or lorry or...

Gave me quite a shock today a TDI ibiza 130. Was doing about 60 with the ibiza infront of me. Once the road cleared big puff of soot and i just managed to keep up! Only confort i have was that i was in 6th all the was up to the ton!
