funny

Hi all, First proper post, so hopefully this is the right place for this. It was a beautiful Tuesday evening. The sun was shining and I had just beaten a GTI who was battling for first place when merging into a single carriageway. The car was making some beautiful noises as I manoeuvred around...

I bought a seat ibiza in January and it cost me over £500 to service it! When I got it back the engine started making a constant noise as if I were needing to go up a gear, but even after changing gear its still very noisy! Then the car decided that on ocassion it wont start, it just chugs...

For the first time in a while, the wife was in the car, which meant I turned the stereo down, and noticed a funny noise... There's a strange pulsing / rumbling noise which gets faster with the car's speed (not the engine revs). Everything else seems to be working fine and there's no...

Hi, i was just out and about and was down a country lane and ended up doing a wheelspin on some black ice and ended up sliding down a ditch now the car is making a really funny noise and is really deep and sounds like the exhaust is rattling a lot but i'm not too sure what's up with it since the...

hello everyone, Got a strange boost problem at the min normally it would stay at 1.0 bar at peak But sometimes when driving it will get stuck at 0.5 but if you turn the ignition on and off it will go back to normal (while driving) im thinking its a n75 or maybe tip that’s causing this? I...

My bloody car mists up really easily and clearing it is getting a right pain. The air con doesnt seem to work all the time and there is a funny whirrin noise from the fan in the dash when the windscreen blower is on. You can then hear the whiriin noise slow down and stop eventually when you turn...

It wasn't until someone said it, and it has me slightly worried. But when I turn the engine over it produced a juttery sound just before it starts running idle. A friend says it has a similar sound to "idle cams" :blink: has anyone else noticed this, or now I have said it does it bring...

my mk1 fr tdi has what feels like a very notchy gearchange. my car is a 150 fr tdi with a 6 speed box. Ive come from mondeo's and vectra's all pre 2001. The gearchanges on the vectra and mondeo is alot better than that of my leon. I know the leon is a mk4 golf but for a german car surely...

I noticed the other day that the brembo caliper on my front passenger side has got some dis-colourment on it, like its faded to a whiter shade on one part. After closer inspection it looks like the top film layer of the caliper has peeled off somehow leaving a whiter shade. Could...

Lately my drivers door sometimes wont lock or unlock with the key fob, all other doors are fine and open when i press the open or lock button. Well on sunday i was at asda petrol station and when i took the key out of the ignition the doors normally unlock automatically but the drivers door...

Car idles lumpy as hell, which is expected from the cams but it wont idle after a rev or if you dip the clutch on the move it just stalls. if you sit on the spot and rev to about 2/2.5 k it starts to miss, but when you drive its fine, other thing is that when you accelerate low down in the...

Hi, Not long had my Cupra and it seems to make a funny noise when its idleing on warm up, leave it about 20 seconds or so and it suddenly goes. Any ideas what this could be?

Hey folks! So I decided to give the SAI removal a go yesterday. Couldn't for the life of me, get to the 3rd (top) nut that holds the SAI pump to the bracket as there was not enough space for the ratchet to turn to loosen it. Sod it, I thought, i'll remove the bracket and worry about...

Iv noticed since i fitted my turbosmart dv to my lcr that the car puuls loads better and you can really feel the turbo kick in. But it only seems to be boosting super storng for around the first 10-15 mins off driving and then seems to go back to how it was before i fitted the turbosmart...
