    Hi, I own a 52 plate Leon 1.8 20v (non-turbo) and a hole about the size of a 10 pence piece has just been made in my gearbox. On firday I noticed a clicking sound from the front left when slowing down. The frequency of the sound was relative to the speed I was travelling. I'd had two...

  13. New gearbox, now reverse lights and senors wont work.

    Hi, My 52 reg 1.9 TDi needed a new gearbox after 80,000 miles. Now I find that when I engage reverse gear that the reversing lights do not come on nor the parking sensor (though it does if I use the switch). Is this a simple fix? Fuses and bulbs seem okay. Mechanic told me that he has seen...

    Gearbox oil confusion... ??

    Hi all. 6 speed gearbox on a LCR 1.8T20V. Basically i am very confused.. does this gearbox use hypoid gears? what spec does it require gl4 or gl5? fully synthetic or semi syn? 75w90 i think is correct. What gearbox oil is recommended and what have you used?

    Gearbox - need help!

    I've had this for a good few months now. When going from second to 3rd at high revs something crunches up near the base of the gearstick and its a bit reluctant to slot into 3rd. Its fine for normal driving and giving death in any other gear is fine. Any ideas what it is?! Cheers! :)
  17. Is a 5 speed gearbox enough?

    I am thinking of buying a Seat Ibiza 1.8 20VT FR/ Cupra to replace my current Corsa 1.8 SRI. The main gripe I have about my existing car, is that apart from the shoddy handling, it desperately needs a 6th gear on the motorway for better fuel consumption, less engine wear and a quieter ride...
