Hi all. I have developed an oil leak. I have got her up on ramps and had a good old wipe all over. It seems to be coming/reappearing from this area. Would this be simply the oil sump/gasket? Or possibly coming from elsewhere? Please see -...

After heavy rain, When I open my drivers door water pours out. It's building up above the bottom seal and filling the door shut to the lip into the footwell (probably over into the car too). I'm told by a previous cupra owner that this is very common and is the seal on the panel inside the door...

Been a while since I needed advice on here, but you guys always help! My Cordoba 1999 2.0 SX has developed an oil leak. I have had a look and wiped clean to see where it seems to reappear. It seems to be coming from the oil sump (I assume it is, the lowest hanging point under the engine/bay...

Howdy all! A quick question on behalf of my mum! Her car has been losing coolant (from somewhere in front of the FOS wheel).....is this a common fault, ie end caps on the rad, cracking hoses or leaking expansion tank? The local garage (who I reckon are useless) cannot find the leak...
