fluid

Hi All, My Cupra is due a service soon as I've owned it a year (2007 1p). I'm hoping to pick your brains to save some money (or tell me otherwise if you think it's not a good idea). I drive it less than 5,000 miles a year, mostly just a weekend toy. But it is remapped running a bit more power...

Hello, I’m hoping that someone on here may be able to help me! I’ve had my 2009 Seat Ibiza 1.6 TDI CR Sport for a couple of months now and has been faultless. However, a couple of times once I’ve started her up, I’ve noticed that when turning (and not dry steering), it feels like there is no...

My cupra tdi is 4 years old so as well as cam belt I been told the brake fluid needs changing too. I have heard it's not as easy as 'have your mate pump the brakes to drain the fluid' anymore and you need something that uses air pressure?! Is there a way of doing it myself as I'm not paying £65!

Hi folks, i am fitting my new brake setup tomorrow and i am wondering which is the best choice for brake fluid, I drive the car as it should be driven all the time and i am away to start doing a few track days. I was thinking dot 5 but not sure that is the best option any feedback is much...

Hi, Recently had my MK1 Leon TDi MOT'd and the guy said it only just passed the Diesel emissions tests. He recommended putting some cleaning fluid in the tank but only do so once there is aonly a few gallons left. Can anyone recommend me any product? Do I just pour straight into the tank?

I don't know if this is useful for anyone but here goes. A while ago I posted asking what power steering fluid was ok for my Ibiza. There seemed to be a lot of confusion over which was the correct one. Some were saying ATF and some were saying that the correct VAG stuff was vital. I spoke...

I'm considering changing the brake fluid on my LCR sometime soon and wondered what grade of fluid it has as standard? I've got plenty of DOT5.1 fluid left over from when I changed the fluid on my old car and I wonder if this will be okay? (and before anyone says it - no its not been opened...

Hiya all Fitted so new ds2500 pads and some discs from badger about 2 weeks back and there just not feeling that great, no where near as good as i would have expected and have done just over 300m on them, did the bedding in procedure and warm them up but still no massive improvement on old...

can anyone help. The rear washer on my 04 ibiza has stopped working. I have checked and the pipe IS attatched and the pump works but no water is getting through.

I have changed my old brake fluid (EBC 306 sport "NOT RECOMENDED") for new motul RBF660 as recomended by people on here. I used a pressure system where you connect a cap with a pressure hose to a spare tire and then you pressuraise the brake resavoar. Works great! I could not detect any color...

I'm only getting about 200 miles per 2 litre washer bottle re-fill these days. I used to get over 400 miles per fill but that was back in the summer. Not sure if I have a leak or if I'm just using loads due to the wet roads and muck and spray :confused: So how often are you guys having to...

I've got a totally random one here, below the down pipe on the sub frame at the rear of the engine on my 2.0 8v some pipes cross that look like brake pipes. On these pipes there is a black tar-like fluid that is bubbling away with the heat from the down pipe. The fluid is smoking slightly and...

Hi all, hoping someone may have come across this issue....... I drive a Seat Altea XL 2.0 TDI DSG and have noticed that the rear washer is no longer squirting, however, the pump in the front works. There is now a mystery pool of washer fluid that turns up in the offside rear passenger cupholder...

just a quickie how easy is it to change the brake fluid on a 2001 LC? is it something a simpleton could do (me) or should i just take it to garage and get them to do it save fannying about. I had a look for some guides but no joy so if anybody could point me in the direction of one or has...

Took my car in for new shoes yesterday and was told (amongst a few other things) that the brake fluid is VERY dark and wants changing. So, providing the weather's nice over the weekend (long shot I know), I'm going to give it a go. Now, the Haynes manual says brake fluid capacity is 2 litres...
