well as many of you already know, had a SEAT Ibiza Cupra, couldn't afford running costs, so PX'd for a Pug 106. It was a great, fun car to drive, but decided I needed VAG in my life again!
so bought a completely standard 1996 Audi A4 1.9 TDI.. done some little things to it, and now it looks...
I fitted a DTUK digital diesel tuning system (PD2) chip that I bought from their website and first impressions are very good. This isn't your normal resister in a box ebay jobby, it's a proper digital system costing over £300 and it's worth every penny. I have had remaps before (Revo and Custom...
Quite pleased with myself - fitted the Audi TT brakes i bought last week for £130. :D
Quite easy to do. Had a big problem removing the retaining screw for one of the old discs. Took me over an hour to get it out after stripping the Philips head. [:@]
I used a hose clamp to prevent any...

Well its not as simple as that, basically I got my friend (who has fitted these before) to fit a double-DIN Alpine headunit into my Ibiza. I went off to work and he finished about 6pm but he left the interior light on.
I came home at 1am to find the light on, opened it up, it started okay and...
I posted a while back on this topic and the kit is now ready for my car- I hope to have them fitted by the end of the week- here is the guys advert from another forum- I will report back but I am optimistic that the outcome will be better than the iron upgrade route and may be lighter than and...
I just purchased the latest fast car and in the rated section, theres a turbo designed and manufactured by a uk company,
the HX35, just wondered if anybody has had/heard/or bolted one on a 1.8T? Quite Intrigued, they rrp at £450, obviousley without any bolt on's like oil lines etc etc.
The...
Hi all,
Well I thought it was about time I made my own Readers Ride thread. :D
I've had the car since the beginning of October. I've wanted an LCR as it had all the things I was looking for in a car.
I needed to be able to get the kids in and out as I was going around in a 3dr Mitsi Colt...
Got my new custom discs fitted today after I managed to ruin the old ones after 9 months and 9,000 miles. Learnt the expensive way that the cupra doesnt have brake wear sensors [:@]
They have 8 grooves in them, After plenty of research and confusion, I finally got hold of something that I...
How do I get rid of the condensation in the headlamp? I am thinking remove the bulb and try to dry out with wifes hair dryer on low and then ensure the rubber grummet is sealed properly.
Comments welcome
Cheers

Finally saved up enough for the Milltek downpipe, fitted it this morning, what a pita! Jkm are advertising free fitting (ie no 10 % discount) well worth it imho! Turbo bolts, particularly the top one under the manifold are an absolute pig, the nuts are "stiff nuts" and only a stubby 17mm spanner...

Hi Folks,
Over the last few months i had noticed a sort of squeak type noise from the engine. It would normally happen in a high gear if i was accelerating, say up a hill at low rpm.
As the revs passed between 1500 and 2100 rpm, i would hear the noise.
When it was in for its service i...
Searching through SCN at the moment trying to find info on PCV removal. I'm doing this because I've got a couple of leaky breathers (http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=240698) and rather than sort this out I now want to know if I can remove it? Also is it OK and safe to do so...
Hi
I've just bought a Ibiza Cupra 180 1.8T 20v - 2005
I miss cruise control, especially driving it back 80 miles from the garage I bought it from today!
Has anyone fitted the following?
KUFATEC Cruise Control - Retrofit - w/ Multi. Display - Seat Ibiza 6L
Product No.: 36313...
Got round to fit my autobahn88 TIP today. The fitment overall was very good and got on quite well considering I have little experience working on cars. However, on the turbo inlet, the hose wasn't cut perfectly square so there is a small gap on the top side. The hose still goes well onto the...
Managed to fit the SEAT alloy dash over the weekend, not sure tbh :confused:
More pics on Readers Ride section or clicking the link below my sig.
Let me know what you think, good or bad :p
Ive fitted a fmic 2day :funk: Took it for a test run and it dosnt seem right, every time i put my foot down i could hear a whistle sound quite similer when turbo spool up when you fit tip. the car does feel laggy and not that resposive. dont have boost gauge yet. Does this sound a like a boost...
