gear

i'm not sure if its in my head or if there is a problem. Yesterday i was driving back from work and i've given the car a good run between several roundabouts in milton keynes (ok i wash thrashing it a bit). The car seems to pull ok in 2nd gear but just doesn't seem to have much pull in 3rd...

Hi guys! I have a feb 2008 model Ibiza 1.9FR. Bought only 6 weeks ago and already have an issue. I noticed a slight burning smell in heavy traffic and 1st and 2nd gear were very very sticky/notchy to engage. Was not riding the clutch or anything, stopped, neutraled up at lights etc.. Once i...

Morning all, Just a quick question, will the MK3 Cupra gear knob fit in a mk2 Ibiza? Cheers!

Hey guys, i have just lost 1st and 2nd gear on my gearbox, when i put it into first it goes straight into 3rd. I had to drive it home in 3rd which didnt like hills at slow speed so now the clutch is slipping. Can anyone shed any light on the gearbox problem. Its a Alhambra 98, 115tdi... hope...

Can anybody post a picture of the gear knob with cupra sport written on it? I have read loads of threads refering to it but dont have it in my car:( Really interested in aquiring one. Also with all the threads talking about gti having this, and cupra sport having that....i couldnt honestly...

Video clips taken on a private road hence the lack of space to go any faster. Wheelspin in 3rd is a nuisance. Time for a diff maybe? :) Purpose of the clips was to see which gear would be faster for the 40-70mph overtaking pass. Second was binned due to wheelspin. 3rd Gear...

Changing up from 1st to 2nd when car is cold produces a bit of a grating/crunching noise unless I change at low revs & slowly. Doesn't happen on any other gear change, e.g. 3rd down to 2nd. Also gos away when car is warmed up. My first thought was synchro mesh, but I'm no expert and the...

Did anyone see the 'review' of the Mk 5 Ibiza on Fifth Gear this week? They put it up against their current favourite, the new Fiesta, and it was their usual strange review. Firstly they loaded the boots up with toilet rolls to see which could hold the most. This is because both cars are bought...

Hi I have a ibiza mk 4 100pd and has been remapped. Prior to remap and even now when giving it heavy right foot and shifting as fast as possible the revs seems to take longer than usual to normalize?even though the car has no esp/tcs,it feels as if it has and when shifting from say 2nd to 3rd...

Not really a serious post. 3rd gear is great off large roundabouts to 85mph 4th is great for joining motorwarys (up to 100mph +) 6th is great for commuting cruising from 40mph to what ever speed When do i use 5th gear on the road? :p

I have bought a new gear knob for my arosa, but can't work out how to ake the original off. The one i have bought is a screw on. But mine doesn't appear to screw off and i don't want to force it incase the new one doesn't fit. Any help would be very welcomed! thanks

Noticed the other day that the clutch seems to be slipping in first gear from 2000rpm even at half throttle sometimes. Had a search on the forum and some threads said to test by flooring it at low revs in high gears. No slip doing this or in any other gear just seems to be first. Dont think...

I am trying to remove the gear gaitor, in my golf it was as easy as just push foward and prise it up the plastic trim at the bottom. i have tryed to get the one off the leon but it wont budge and i dont want to break it. any tips or anybody done it sucesfully?

I know this has probably been done to death and I have searched the forum for answers but here goes. I've removed the old gear knob and want to replace it but finding an aftermarket one is proving to be very difficult. Here's my question, does anyone on here know where I can find a...

Can someone tell me if there are longer ratio gears on the 1.8 20VT Cupra model compared to the 1.8 20VT FR model? I'm not interested in the diesel versions, just the petrol engines. Also what is the average rpm at say 70mph for each model, the rev limiters on each and how does this impact on...

can u send me pics of the cupra gear knobs and the fr ones. wana see the difference, to see which will suit my sport ibiza,, and if anyone else has got others those picks will be good to thanks gus
