Does any one know how long a DPF filter is supposed to last and how often you are supposed to change it? Thanks.

Hello, I'm curious as to how long SCN members have owned their beloved Leons and how much have you spent on mods? [B)] Cheers!

Hi all, i am just a newbie to the forum and also a new seat 1.2 sport owner. i have read in the forum that quite a lot of you have had problems with timing chains after about 30k- 50k miles. I am currently at 3k and a little worried about what I have read so far, I was hoping to get some good...

When I got recovered by the AA the other week due to CV joint failure I was have a chat with the AA man who used to work for VW as a techie and owned a Touran 2.0tdi 140. Anyway I mentioned that I thought it was a con that VW engines can go 20k for an oil service where as Seat only 10k. The guy...

My Dads had a stroke and he wants me to prepare his car for storage in his garage; get it up on blocks, drain the fuel etc. My question is what (if any) effect long term disconnection of the battery may have on the cars electrical systems (ECU, bluetooth, etc). I'm not sure if any of these...

Reading threads on here about the longevity of the 1.8T engine, it seems fairly reliable. However problems with my car recently have made me think it's time to change. The engine may be mechanically solid, but it seems to me that the sensors are the weak points. My car's an '01 reg and has done...

I'd like you thoughts on the following: We bought our Altea about 9 months ago from a Seat dealership. All went well for a while, but then the car has had to be returned 3 times in the last 6 months due to different airbag problems.... frustrating but fixable. This isn't my main cause of...

I've got a remapped Cupra, and a few months ago - I was mocking a friend for going through his tyres very quickly... and now I'm the bloody same!? I drive conservatively sometimes and 'spirited' others so pretty average for the type of car I'd imagine?! I've not had my Toyo's a year, and...

Think all 3 of mine are starting to lose the laquer/corrode. :( Bout a fiver each aren't they?

Hi All, Sorry to put another tale of woe in the altea forum, but I'd appreciate your advice (sorry for the long post as well). Here goes..... I bought an ex-demo Altea FR Tdi (9K miles, reg in june last year) from Dealer 1 in February. About a week later it went into limp mode so it went...

HI all, im a little :confused: i ordered the twin gauge pod from RGM styling on ebay on sunday 1st and still have not received it. i called them twice already and both times they said it had left the factory and i should receive it by courier. i still have not got it and was wondering if this is...

30 seconds..1 minute...2 minutes? or on any journey if the engine has cooled down i suppose ?

Just a wee note to those that don't already know, Autocar have taken delivery of a new yellow Cupra - first report in this weeks mag. First impressions:- 1. Not too sure about the 'challenging' styling (yawn). 2. Driving position is superb and terrific seats (more comfortable than 350Z)...

A week today my Toledo will be going to the body shop to have the following done. Yes I have given in to the upper rear window spoiler and bought one! List is: Cupra front bumper and splitter. Cupra skirts. Boot spoiler. Rear window spoiler (as mentioned above). Side mouldings and...
