front

Due to knocking and iffy steering, im wanting to replace my front wishbones and ball joints. I was just wondering if this is a DIY job? I have a few hours spare on saturday and wouldnt mind doing them myself if its not too hard. Cheers!

Own a MK4 Ibiza 3dr, and have bought a Sony Headunit and some £40 FLI Integrator 6 17cm coaxials, together with some dynamat. My original plan was to put these speakers in the rear, and leave the front ones because they are actually OK, but having read some threads, i am having second...

Hi, Please can someone recommend a set of discs and pads for the front ? some one was supposed to be sorting this out for me but screwed at the last minute. Need to get all parts by Friday!!!:confused::confused::confused:

Ok, on my cupra Tdi ihave had a droning noise from the front end. Initially i thought it was Wheel bearings as i see they can be common problem on the mk4 and the car has covered 50k which is whel bearing territory. So i booked it in to seat and they said they checked the beaings and it was...

Hi people does anyone no where you can get the front centre sunblind from. Thanks

Just picked it up today. Was like £90 here in Sweden... How do you go about fiddling it in under the bonnet strut? And while drilling the holes... can anything go really south? I think my coilover is safe....

Not sure how to explain this but will try my best. On the sides of the base under the bolsters there is the wire part of the seat frame, Are these supposed to be fixed or do they move up and down at the front, My thoughts are that they are supposed to be welded and mine have broken would I be...

Does anyone have a part number for front pads on a cupra r (brembo brakes)?

Hellooo! Im a new guy round here :) Only 18years old :P Just bought a new seat leon for my second car... I love itttt!!!!!! The guy that I bought it from went from a leon to a skyline! He clearly knew his stuff about cars... He has turned a 1.4L black leon into a complete cupra...

K1 front bumper came today! How hard is it to change the front bumper? And is there anywhere you can get the front side grills for the sides of the bumper from other than the stealers? (the side shark gill grills) for the k1 bumper. Thanks

Some silly people reversed into my car while my car was parked and drove off.[:@]

Been thinking about changing my seats from the current cupra interior. I realise the rears in whatever I get won't fit - maybe get an upholsterer to retrim the rears. So are there any other fronts that will fit straight in? What about an Audi TT?

Hi guys, I have looked at various threads regarding wiper removal and most are about rear wipers. The others are about Leon MK2's where the wiper fixing nuts have left and right hand threads. Do the MK1's have right and left hand threads and if so which is which?

Well had cupra & powerflex wishbone bushes, top mounts, bearings and coilvers fitted at AmD yesterday. They called me to tell my the front ARB collar was broken and they were unable to source a replacement yesterday. I will get my local garage to fit this for me (annoyed as I now have to pay for...

Hi all, Know there have been many brakes discs and pads thread, but most seem to revolve around which are the best, and seen many good suggestions (e.g. Ferodo DS2500 + EBC Ultimax). But I'm looking for front discs and pad (1.8T Cupra, 312mm) that will be better than the standard VAG ones...

I think I'm going to get new front bushes fitted when my car is in getting the uprated springs fitted. I get some 'clunking' when turning at low speed on bumpy ground, the car also likes to 'follow' groves in the road sometimes. I think these symptoms point to worn bushes.. (although there was...

Has anyone come across a front splitter like this before? I noticed its different to any other i've seen before (ages ago, i've only just got round to posting :rolleyes:), but I think its factory. Would anybody be able to tell me what it is?!! cheers
