I`ve had my k03s running on a revo stg2 for well over a year now and ever since having the k03s fitted its pulled back on WOT from low down and surged like crazy, it got to a point where it was awful to drive and felt like it took ages to catch up with itself once it started pulling back, Bill...

Hi, is there anyone out there that can help me?? my old toledo 2.0 sxe fuel gauge is constanstly stuck on empty and the petrol light stays on . even when filled to the brim. I suspect the fuel sender unit has gone kaput on me, but do you think I can get hold of one reasonable priced...

This is my first post and I cannot see anyone else having this problem so I hope I'm not wasting people's time having missed a similar issue in another forum on SC. My 04 150PD Cupra has been running slightly slowly for the last few months and fuel consumption has dropped. On a cold morning...

I'm fitting a 2001 ibiza cupra (AYP) engine into a mk2 golf. I've used an ibiza loom and ancilaries, I'm ready to try starting the engine but i'm havinga problem with the fuel pump. The pump will not pump when fitted to the loom, (the pump works when tested on 12v PSU), and the level sensor...

Picked up my LCR fuel pump today and wanting to get it fitted ASAP as i understand it cant damage anything by fitting it before my hybrid and stg3 map go`s on? My question is apprently to enable the LCR pump to work correctly one of the hoses needs to be blocked off, could anybody explain or...

Any ideas please? Have had this on the car for almost a year now. It is nothing serious, just annoying and happens at the pivotal on/off boost pressure point. All I can think of is a possible air leak. Everything else is absolutely fine, hardly any smoke on full song, fuel consumption...

Hey guys, Just wondering if any of you knew how accurate the ananlogue fuel guage is compared to the digital one? Only i was driving earlier, digital guage stating '0' miles, with the analoge guage still up a few mm from the end. Anybody shed any light on it, or is the analogue gauge on...

People on this site tell me my car doesn't have an o2 sensor. Ok, that is probably true. What then checks the exhaust gases to make sure that the right mixture is being created? How does it know when to change the mixture? and when it can use the EGR valve? I have been reading loads...

Has anyone changed a fuel filter on a Mk 4 Ibiza 130 TDI, I can only see links to other types of VAG group filters, where you release 5 screws, take the metal lid off and change the actual paper filter that's inside, my replacement filter is the whole part, the metal case. There are loads of...

New to the forum, here's my first post: Got a 54 Ibiza Sx, recently bought. A couple of times I have heard a 'ding' noise and noticed that the low fuel warning light ( yellow dot under fuel guage) has come on. The point is that the car has 3/4 of a tank full. Any idea what problem is and how...

So my car wont start, it's turning over but just won't fire. it started for about 2 seconds there a while ago but just petered out, kind of spluttery. I lifted up the back seat and had a mate turn the key but not start it. Isn't the pump supposed to make a sound when you turn the key? I didn't...

Basically my question is... How do you open the fuel filler cap?!?!?!?! My brother has just bought one and can't figure out how to open it, i've suggested doing it the way we do for our mk3s, but by the sounds of it that doesn't seem to work. Please help!!!! Oh, and before you...
