long

My Leon Cupra 280 seems to take a while to get up to heating temp. Where I must be the Driving car in excess of 10 mins. Then it heats up fine In the meantime, cold air con works fine, and works fine when up to speed. While the car is warming, there is a point where the heaters blow warmish...

I know it's a bit of a strange one and people usually stress about how long they have to wait for their new car but in my circumstances it suits me better to get the car around the time i was told it'd probably be ready but it's turned out to be earlier than expected. I was expecting it at the...

Anyone know of anywhere that sells the long square cover for sitting over the inlet manifold??

Just thought this would be an interesting topic. As most modern engines now can easily see 250k. I just wanted to bring up the question, how long do you think tuned cars will last for? In particualr your own? Now i understand not many peeps will keep there car until the death, but in your...

Need a rough time on fitting a new anti roll bar?

I've owned my car (1.6 S) for nearly a year and left it alone, been on here a week and I have a list of things to do to it :lol: Unfortunetly I don't have a lot of money to put into the car at the moment as I am trying to save up to move into my own place. Still, a few bits won't hurt ;) I...

few weeks ago ordered myself a new ibiza 1.6 tdi with climate, bluetooth and in galia blue. Was told around 3-4 months so just wondering roughly when am i likely to receive a build date?

I drive pretty easy really with just one or two moments thrown in ;) but i never scream of the line with the tyres smoking. My FR Tdi hits 2 years old in march and with less than 7k on the clock :blink: (yeah i know) but my P Zeros look already half worn :doh: and at this rate i will be...

I'm only getting about 200 miles per 2 litre washer bottle re-fill these days. I used to get over 400 miles per fill but that was back in the summer. Not sure if I have a leak or if I'm just using loads due to the wet roads and muck and spray :confused: So how often are you guys having to...

Just wondering with these cupra r's they seem to warm up very quickly could their be a problem with mine, gets to 90 with in 5mins on idle then the fans kick in thanks all only bought it before xmas

My son's got a bit of a strange one with his '06 1.4 - the emissions control light (yellow engine symbol) comes on and it's a bit erratic at low revs (makes pulling out of junctions a bugger!) but it's only done it twice and both time after a long motorway run. Here's the bit that makes it...

I have a 2002 1.8T Ibiza and could have a gt2x for a low buck, here in the forum are a lot of threads with the gt2x, some like it and some not, an some are older threads. time gives us experience , so I am curious who runs still a gt2x and ist still satisfied with this decision. what is the...

Bit of an odd thread, but seeing as the Cupra is a keeper, i'd like to ensure it'll keep running well for the next 150,000 odd miles. The car is running a stage 1 map, so I've increased the frequency of servicing to suit. My old Mercedes 190 Cosworth had oil services at 6k intervals & it ran...

Mine started slipping a fair while ago and have done a couple of thousand miles, it only seems to slip if I floor it at 80 in 6th, and it doesn't seem to have got any worse:confused:

I ordered a Leon FR TFSI on the 12 August and I am still waiting for a build week for my car. Has anybody else had this problem recently. The Dealer says maybe I will get it in December. So its a bit more than the 8 to 12 weeks they tell you when you order.

Do you turbo guys leave your engine running after you stop? I heard after you have put your foot down a little your meant to leave the engine running incase the turbo burns out, from not cooling properly?
