  14. Surging / Holding Back On Acceleration

    I have a 1.8T Cupra and its always felt that I haven't really got 180bhp. I noticed on hard acceleration the power seems to surge then hold back then surge every one or 2 seconds. Whats the most likely suspect, sticking wastegate ? What boost pressure should it be running ? Thanks

    MK1 FR TDI's still holding their value

    Dropped into my local SEAT dealers today to check a part number, and saw a 55 Plate FR+ TDI on the forecourt with 33,000 miles on the clock, and the price in the window...... £12,995 I only paid £700 more than that 24 months ago brand new! Made me smile :D

    Cupra holding revs/increasing revs when changing gear?

    When driving the car sometimes under load or heavy acceleration, when I change gear the revs sometimes increase by say 500rpm before dropping back. I have just replaced the DV for a forge one but still does it. Any ideas?
  17. Holding mats down

    Does anyone have the little poppers that hold the mats down in the front fitted to their alteas? My car has none and the parts guy said you can't fit them as they are part of the carpet. The front mats seem to slide about when getting in and out and it's annoying me, any suggestions?:shrug:
