leaking

after some heavy rain the other day i noticed that my front passenger foot well was soaking wet(its a cupra 2001)......the only evidence i found was a few drips of water dripping from the back/bottom of the dash underneath ! :( can anybody shed some light on to my situation ? is it a common...

Right i havent managed to get a picture yet as i cant find my camera so will try to explain it the best i can...:rolleyes: but i was playing about with my car today and looked under the front bumper on the left hand side there is a hard rubber pipe that goes into a metal one just above the...

OK, This is either a rant or a desparate plea for help, depending how you look at it. Last year (almost exactly) my Leon got the classic water leak into the rear footwells. It also totalled the convenience panal, wiring and shafted the central locking. Oh, and it blew the window motor too...

hi guys, I just got back from a garage and had some boost tests done. the mechanic noticed the intercooler was leaking oil (not majorly). my question is, would this cause an overall lack of power? and lack of maintaining boost? also would this cause my MPG to be low? Im curious because...

hey all, de wipered my ibiza yesterday with a grommet but now after i washed it, there seemed to be water on the inside? luckily not over my sub, but its just a bit annoying because it looks so much better without a wiper, anyone else had this problem, had a search but could not find anything!?

Hi Everyone. AUQ 1.8t engine. Removed standard oil cooler and fitted a Mocal remote thermo sandwich plate. Together with the shorter oil feed pipe. Oil is pouring out between filter and rubber seal. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Filter is as tight as I can get it by hand.

Hi All, My LCR is in for an MOT today and I'vd had the dreaded phone call to say work is needed! They say both rear shock's are leaking and need to be replaced at a cost of £192. So my question is, my LCR is 5 years old, is this the expected life span of it's shocks? If I choose to use the...

Had my FR TDi in for 90k service this morning and the independent garage advise there is a leak on the gearbox that is likely to lead to major damage :( They have advised me not to drive it and suggested I may have grounds for a warranty claim from SEAT. Phoned SEAT who say it must be towed...

hi just wondering if anyone knows if i can buy H & R Cup shockers seperate as one of my fronts are leaking and not holding pressure. If not can you get reseal kit and ill have a go at fixing the original. Cheers i advance for any advice given Ian :D

I'm after a bit of advice please... I have recently got a 2004 Leon tdi 150 and have noticed that the pump on the right hand side of the engine is a bit moist on the lower half of the top plate and the pipe underneath with the nylon sleeve is looking like it has soaked up a bit of diesel ( or...

Im sorry if this is covered somewhere else but i have searched cant find anything. Last week i changed coolant, temp senser, spark plugs and air filters. For the past week i have noticed little rainbow coloured patches wherever i park, and after an attempted trip to Dublin today i stopped...

....and why is it leaking coolant through the 4 spaces at the top??? Not a lot coming out, more seeping, but an annoyance all the same. Any ideas?? Sorry about the pic quality, its that round thing with the cross thing on it, its situated just under the distributor. Cheers TF.

Just for info really if anyone wonders how much this will cost. From my SEAT dealers today (I took it there because I'd rather pay extra for people who are supposed to be experienced and know about common faults) FAULT: Water ingress from 2 places into the passenger footwell over and under...

right heard a small hissing sound early and its coming from my Air con rad its stopped now as the air has come out... Ive looked and theres a very tiny hole in it...Can it be repaired or is it a new aircon rad? thanks

All four of my cupra's injectors are leaking. You can tell this by the fact petrol is all over the surrounding areas on my inlet. I have bought new o-rings for the injectors and also new seals. After searching the forum I also found that it would be best to remove the inlet to carry out this...

Hi folks, Yet another problem with my tolly...none for ages now all at once! The driver side outer CV boot seems to have a hole somewhere and obviously needs replacing. I have helped do one on an old fiat but never changed one on this car. I have the haynes golf manual for this car as has...

my cars in for a service, and i've been told that a ball joint is leaking grease. i'm guessing they will need to replace the ball joint, anyone know how much a ball joint will cost to replace myself? its driver side one. thanks

Hi there! Im wondering if I have a boost leak? I went for the rolling road yesterday, and it made 242hp/343nm :censored: but, according to vagcom it's peak boosting at 1,5bar. I'm suspecting the DV for leaking, my question is therefore, can vagcom measure if I have a boostleak? I reckon there...

I used the guide on here to seal up the panel inside the passenger door with silicone. Somebody had already had a go at it before. Satisfied that it was well and truley sealed up i put it all back together minus the sound proofing which is drying out. After a bit of rain there was still water...
