Driving home from work today, accelerated the car from maybe 20mph to 30mph relatively hard, followed by a massive cloud of white smoke from the exhaust pipe at the back of the car, and loss of turbo power, now the car sounds very chuggy and ofc no turbo, There was no Bang, just a cloud of smoke...

Hello everyone. The last months time or two I've noticed I don't feel confident in my brakes anymore. This is a bit surprising as I've always felt extremely confident in the brakes, coming from an old car the brakes in the Leon felt razor sharp and hard. I've always felt that if I brake the car...

Hey Guys, Ive noticed over the last couple of days that my Cordoba is loosing coolant. I've been searching and cant seem to find a leak anywhere around the engine. Topped it up last night and when I check it this morning the coolant level was the same, drove to work and checked it again and the...

Hi, I've been looking at a 150pd (ARL) FR Tdi, it's got a problem with intermittant power loss, which rectifies itself when the engine is turned off and back on. The codes i've got out of it are: 17957 - Boost Pressure Regulation Valve (N75): Open or Short to Ground P1549 - 35-10 - - -...

Hi there, This is one for the Cupra/FR TDi peeps. I know this is a Seat forum but this is a query relating to my mk4 Golf GT TDi PD 150, which is essentially the same car as the Cupra/FR TDi so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.. :blink: The car is an 02 plate and...

Hello people, im calling upon some advice please!! This is a 130PD Sport 1.9TDi 2004 with 70,000 miles. For quite some time now I've had a whining sound coming from the engine bay, I cant hear it unless the revs are going up and down. Worse mainly on the return to tick-over. It happens...

Hello all, The last couple of weeks I've been having troubles with my Seat Leon 1.9 TDi. It seems to have lost alot of it's pace at higher speeds. The acceleration will slow right down when I'm in 3rd gear and reach 50mph and continue even if I change gear to 4th/5th. I tried bypassing the...

Hi all, just got back from no rice, but on the way back my car started to jerk every time I put it in gear, the revs would go mental with the clutch down, and lost all electrics including power steering and essentially engine. Anything I should be looking at? It's the first time it's done...

Can anybody please help me? Got a Leon 110 TDi SE, every now and again it feels like the turbo just dies and i have to restart the car to "reset" it?! Spoke to Seat specialist locally who told me it was airflow meter, which i then replaced but same prob keeps occuring, and there are no faults...

Hi, Anyone help me with this one. Brake lights flicker/flash when applied and I suffer loss of power. This only happens when I actually have the lights turned on. Without lights on this doesnt happen. Brakes work fine. Totally baffled. Any ideas? Thanks
