Hey folks,, after now having my car for a few days i have noticed that when sitting idle say at the light I can feel the car rocking to the motion of the engine idle. Its a very strange sensation as if ur very gently being shook. Now this may sound daft but is this normal for the idle to be...

I sold my Cordoba (2.0 16v SX) to my mate in 1999 with 7000 miles on the clock and today bought it back with about 127,000 miles on the clock. I bought the car direct from Seat - it was an ex-"management" car with the AP brakes :-o and the uprated lowered suspension. It is a little bit tatty now...

Hi to all - this is my last resort - i have searched this site previously to no success - i have leon cupra 2001 - with speradic issues when idling - it has been into the dealership whilst under warranty and they have replaced everything from turbo to vacuum pipes, 75 valve, temp sensor, DV...

After a number of times jumping into my wifes Toledo 1.9TDI I noticed the extreme lack of power & performance. I changed the MAF the other night & wow what a difference. Only problem now is the exhaust bellows a plume of black smoke on initial startup and at each change of gear. We have a number...

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I've done a quick search but not seen the exact issue.... Car (LC 180) runs fine although at idle the revs continually fluctuate between 660 and 720rpm, otherwise the car runs perfectly. Just wondering if this was normal or indication of something...

Can you help me. My Xreg 1.8 Cupra is not well. often when i start it the engine runs very rough and there is no power there when trying to pull away, then suddenly the engine picks up and is ok. This can continue for several miles. No warning lights have come on yet. also the same...

My 1.4 petrol Ibiza idles at less than 700 revs is this normal? Sometimes when I start it up the engine is very lumpy and shakes like anything until it warms up a bit. I can't help thinking that the idle speed is too low? Is the idle easy to adjust?
