My 2.0 tdi makes a fairly loud tapping and hissing noise when the engine gets up to temperature on a very hot day such as today. Normally this happens when outside temperatures are high twentys. It sounds like this noise comes from underneath the engine and can be best heard from the side of...

hi, my car reaches 90, optimum temp very quickly, i can be driving my car for 5mins or so some days and reaches this temperture. the car does not over heat and all is normal when this happens. is this normal or something to worry about? thanks

Alright fellas, Wondered if I could get a little comparison to what your cars are running at oil temp wise. My car has started to run a little hotter than it used to and I am not sure this is due to recent mods (ko3s stage 2 CC) or the water pump on its way out due to losing fins etc. Note -...

hi. i was going to take a quick ride today on about 6 km. everything was going well and the heat level was normal. suddenly the tempeture went up to 130C. and it startet to bib and blink :S i turned off the engine, and turned it on again, and the tumpeture was fine :S i cooled it down for...

HI All, I am new to this forum and would appreciate feed back on a problem I am desperate to solve. I have a Seat Cordoba (2003 petrol) and am posting this thread to get your thoughts on a fault my car has developed recently on its climate control system. The air vents in my seat Cordoba...

Hi, i was driving my leon on a long journey last night and the heater was on boiling hot when on LOW, HIGH or anything inbetween. Anyone got any ideas why this happens or what causes the problem? After i got back in the car after 4 hours all was fine again - WTF? Adam

Hi All, I am having a wierd hot start problem with my Altea 1.9TDI 55reg BJB engine. Starts perfectly from cold but if left for 5 mins when hot then engine kind of fires up for a sec with terrible shaking and dies instantly ( kind of judders as it would if speed taken below engine idling...

Leon is at the bottom, but its a nice review.... http://www.carthrottle.com/performance-on-a-budget-part-1/

Car does not like starting whilst the car engine is still warm. Starts fine when cold. Car will turn over when i turn the key but when it goes to kick in it just judders as if there is no fuel but the car smells of an unburned / sulpur smell. My carbon cannister had a pip missing which i...

Hey guys. To get heating in my car have to stick it on High if i decrease the temp to 28 degrees it will just blow cold air even if its freezing in there. Also my exterier temp is always between 30 degrees c or 40 (Wish it was[B)]). Im guesing its the sensor in my wing mirror but nothing...

AUQ - ECU cutting throttle Hi, To cut a long story short has anybody ever seen the ECU cut the throttle at a certain point in the rev range (in my case usually around 6200) despite the pedal staying at 100% I noticed some small dips in power, did some VAG COM logs (in 3rd gear) and...

While booting my newly IHI'd cupra i noticed a drop in boost to almost sod all and i saw my water temp was at 120!!!!!! after slowing down it took 5 mins to get back to 90. I have a forge fmic and checked all the hoses so called jbs who said it may be the water pump and all in with the timing...

i went for a drive last night through the mountains of north wales, waw did the car do well :clap: when i stopped the front discs were glowing red and a bit misty lol, drove on after that and had a massive power soak [:@] , turbo did not want to give full boost any of you guys had this? i will...

Hi all my heater is blowing out hot air all the time, regardless of what i set the climate control to, the flow rate or whether air con is on or off. Setting the cabin temp to high or low makes no difference to the air temp. The air con does "click" on when i press the button and my coolant temp...

Hi Folks, got my hands on my new FR and haven't stopped laughing at the torque this thing has!!:D:D:D Have a bit of concern today though as when I parked up after giving it some boot there was a smell of burning, when I touched the front wings beside the bonnet seam it was red hot!![:@][:@]...

When my car is hot sitting still at idle there seems to be a judder coming from the engine, feels almost like it is misfiring, rev counter doesnt move, but when I open the bonnet the engine can be seen to move more excessively than I would have thought is normal every few seconds, which...

from a few google searches i am thinking that the 2 parts are damping (to stop bare metal from vibrating) and sound proofing (to stop noise getting into the cabin) can people recommend what products to use for the sound proofing (damplifier, brax, sheets of sponge, etc) and where they put it...
