heavy

08 1.4 TSI Seat Leon MK2 Stylance / Sports Pack / Black Magic Quite a chunk about my car's information and also about the TSI engine hope its all readable! Something I put together within an hour or so, I couldn't sleep during that time so thought I kill some time by starting this off...

Hi, I have a Cupra 1.8t with a AUQ 2003 and the problem is when you get to 3000rpm it hesitates almost like it has a soft cut off. If you back the power off the reapply the throttle it clears its worse from 3rd to 4th I have to quickly change to 5th and can carry on accelerating. It really...

Since fitting my KW Coilovers, Neuspeed ARBs (25mm front, 28mm rear), uprated wishbone bushes, rear 15mm spacers and front upper/lower strut braces I've noticed that under heavy braking the back end is quite twitchy and feels like it's struggling to stay in a straight line. (it's been laser...

Hi Guys, I have recently been getting frost build up covering every piece of glass on the iside of the car. Took it to the dealer and they have found water ingress from the inner wing area, leaking into the car. Apparently they have sealed the wing and replaced all the carpets. All this on...

lastnight was out driving in the heavy rain and all of a sudden it started running on 3 cylinders misfiring like a pig. Luckily managed to get home and swap it with the leon, I know they were made in spain where theyr aint much rain but this is the second problem with it now because of missing...

Hi everybody, I have been hovering around the forum for a while so I thought now would be a good time to post some pictures. Had the car for two years and still love it as much as the first day. The annoying little niggles are easily forgotten when you can find a nice quiet stretch of road...

Noticed this a few times, and came to my attention Wednesday night! Was driving along, doin a steady 70-80 mph and had a know up my arse on the motorway, so gave him a nice brake test. I then noticed that for a about 1 mile/1minute, that the car was pulling slightly to the right. After a...

Hi, i have drove a few LCR which have heavy power steering? i have never drove one which doesnt feel slightly heavy.. is this normal? i drive many cars everyday at work, cant find any problems with mine so just wondering does your steering feel slightly heavy. i wouldnt say its like too heavy...

LM_ GAUCI messaged me stating that his MK3 Imperial Blue Ibiza Cupra was indeed of some tender loving having stressed that he doesn’t want to park the car under any lights as he can’t bear the swirls. It was agreed that lm_gauci would clean the inside of the car so that I could concentrate...

Since changing my front pads and discs on my AP Calipers....if I brake quite hard and then pull away, I can hear a squaking type noise coming from the front left wheel as I pull away until I am upto about 10 mph or so. What could this be? Surely I can't have a warped disc right after...

Hi guy's Having bought my self a Toledo I bought my girlfriend an Old Ibiza on an S plate. Fully MOT'd for a year and serviced, with 6 months Tax from of all things a KIA dealer. Anyway, I am not as savvy as I should be and the only reservation about the car was the fact that even for me...

Right guys and mechanically minded girls, I've been having a bit of a problem with my coil packs on my 1.4 02 ibiza. Two in a week to be precise. [:@] First time happened coming down the motorway and had no choice but to go straight to Morrisons Stirling and get it fixed. All in all cost...

Hello all When driving my LCR, I have noticed the steering when turning can be quite heavy. I must admit I am comparing to my old car (golf gti) but that was much lighter. Are LCR's known for quite heavy steering when turning? (i.e 90 deg turn). Just want to check with you people...

Hi When decelerating, I tend to put it into 2nd or 3rd (say from 60 + odd) and then hold the revs at about 1200 RPM to get the max engine braking possible. My question is, will this wear my clutch out, ie, is it as bad at putting ur foot down on accelerating at very low revvs? I ask...
