fluid

Hi guys! Over the last few weeks i have been getting a strange noise when on full lock at very low speed? I guess the first thing to do i check my power steering fluid, but silly as it may sound, i dont know where it is? :redface: Can someone give me a clue please? And if any of you have had...

I was driving down the A1 last night and needed to wash my windows coz of all of the salt. The washers wouldnt work - simply because it must have frozen. Worked fine this morning. Now normally (i'd have thought) the temperature of the engine would keep the bottle nice and warm - and stop it...

Should my FR have one? My old LC had one but i ran out of washers the other day in the new one and nothing flashed or beeped to tell me about it?

Any body know where i can get a bottle this apart from bill, I cant order it from bill 1, because i need it for saturday and 2, i lost my wallet with my debit card in it whilst out on a messy night out at the weekend :( Cheers.

this might sound like a bit of a stupid question, but how do you check the level of the power steering fluid? There's no visible min/max markings on the tank. I know the cap has a dipstick on it, but my question is do you screw it right back in to read the level, or just rest back at the...

hi peeps, found some of this cleaner fluid in the garage and just wondered if this is the same as a claying? or would i use this after claying? ta jez

one of my coilovers is leaking , does anyone know if spax service them for you and how much it is , the ride on them is real bumpy , it also has powerflex bushes all at the front so that would also not help ,

Hey I've just called the dealer to book in for a 20k service and was told that a brake fluid change was advisable at 20k miles. Do people go for this or not?? They tell me they can do a brake fluid change and an air con recharge together for 100 quid? thanks sk

hiya, I was just wondering if anyone has changed their brake fluid themselves? I took the cap off my brake fluid today, and there is loads of big bits of stuff floating around in it and its quite a dark colour. According to the service history its not been done, even though up until i...

i can see thick red liquid under my car very slowly dripping, where abouts is the power steering fluid under the bonnet where i can top it up so get it to a garage??

Does anyone know what is the total capacity of the brake fluid tank? I want to do a complete brake fluid change and bleed the brakes and cannot find how much fluid I would need to do this?

Hi I've done a search, my manual doesn't say and the local shop doesn't know..... Anyone tell me what brake fluid I need for my 2001 LC ? Thanks

Following servicing I was advised my brake fluid had '5% contamination' and should be changed. I did however have it replaced in February. It seems very quick to me to have got so dirty already. Any thoughts on this and what the problem could be? I am getting no braking problems but the...

Right this weekend or next ( assuming bracket parts turn up etc ) I'm going to be replacing all the brake calipers on the Cordoba. Mk4 Golf rear calipers with goodridge hoses, and LCR brembos with goodridge hoses. So I need someone to explain how I'd go about doing all this? So far I've...

Hello... i need to change my brake fluid asap... i think it's nearly empty... I bought some DOT4 Castrol Brake Fluid from the supermarket today and i need advice on how to change it. What should i watch out for ? Do i need to empty the old fluid and put in the new one; or simply add the...

Hello, my LCR is playing up. I've had it for 3 days now and done approx 300miles in it with no probs. Last night I parked in the driveway (which is not level) and just an hour ago whe I went to drive it out the 'brake/handbrake' warning light came on flashing and beeping. The light stayed on...

Hi I'm really fed up!! Had my cupra r's 60k sevice and brake fluid change at jabba 3 weeks ago and ever since my brake fluid warning light has been coming on. I've topped the fluid up 3 times but it just goes back down to the original level which is half way down the tube (i can't see a...

Hi all Need your advise please Had my cupra r serviced last week at Jabba sport and also had the brake fluid changed. Last night the fluid warning light came on whlist i was driving and flashed. I phoned them this morning and they said to check the level, i've undone the yellow cap and the...

Righty-ho, so i accidently drained the transmission fluid in my 1.4 yesterday when i meant to drain the oil. I've purchased some more and added 2l but it's still not to the correct level, does anyone know how much more gear oil i'm going to need? PS. Feel free to make fun of the idiot who...

Supid question... where do I top it up? Does the clutch use the same resevoir as the brakes? The car is a 2001 Leon 1.8T sport Either the master cylinder or the slave is on the way out, or at least I guess there is a leak (pedal getting longer... but recovers a bit after pumping), but I...
