loss

Hey their folks, I have a 2000 1.6S Leon. Its been chipped and a BMC CDA fitted so was expecting the jump from 105bhp standard to anything between 115-120 bhp. So i went up to the rolling road on saturday and to my surprise it was recorded at 98 bhp. This could not be right to be this low...

Hi all, Hope someone can help. I drive a Leon 1.6 S Petrol, and on the A1 the other day, doing approximately 20mph, my car started making a scraping sound, as if i was dragging something under the bumper. I tried to shake whatever it was i thought i had caught off, but then my throttle...

Anyone have any novel ideas for shedding weight from the Leon (must still work for running the family about) Feel free to add on: 1) Remove spare wheel (replace with Tyre Weld?) 2) Ditch the rear headrests (or at least the centre one)

Hi guys, Bit of a quick query. My mate has an 03 LCR, he is having problems with coolant levels. He claims he's topping it up every couple of weeks because the gauge light comes on and starts beeping. I had a quick look (side of road) but couldn't find any leaks. He has told me...

I've been searching through this forum trying to find someone with a similar problem to mine. Basically, during steady driving, i.e. constant speed not flooring the throttle, the power seems to cut out for a fraction of a second and then come back to normal again which produces a jolting...

Sometimes when driving my LCR, I go to floor it and I only get half the normal power. I stop and turn the car off then back on again and it's fine. This is an intermittent problem and only happens a few times a month but it well annoying. The car is still in warranty so I want to get my...

My ibiza (1998 mk2 90bhp tdi) seems to be losing power over 3,000 rpm - mainly noticeable in 3rd and 4th gear. It feels like the power is momentarily shutting off above these revs. It is not a total power loss, more a lumpy delivery. Does anybody have any ideas? I thought it might be...

I have a mk4 Ibiza, 53 plate, had it about..1 month now. I have noticed a small problem and though it might be TCS but happens even when its off. Basically, this has happend once or twice when driving along road at 30mph, I think it happens when accelerating, but noticed it last night booting...

I bought a cupra at the weekend and the bloke i bought it off has put a cone induction kit on it, but i can only get about 120 top end, just wondering if the wrong induction kit can effect the top speed this badly?

been busy stripping my cupra so few update pics at moment all interior gone; heat matrix still to go, and firewall sound deading all sound deading from floor sides of car gone ( was over a stone of weight alone) all redundant brackets removed some interior wiring removed more to come...

Need a bit of advice.... last few days i've noticed a lack of grunt/umph/power in the mid range RPM... bites ok then when you plant your foot the revs fly round, the turbo makes a VERY strange and loud whoosh..... and not much else, yeah it picks up but really seams to make more noise than...

I have owned an 03 LCR with REVO for 1 week now. Love the car, but I have a coolant leakage. The warranty has ran out, but its had a new water pump, head gasket and turbo fitted in the last 3 months. I have added about 600ml now. I have had a look to see if any pipes or joints are leaking...

Wondering if you can help. My 16v 2.0 Gti appears to be running slow. I recently bought the car, but have owned 16v engined cars before. I notice a sort of rattling sound on the exhaust, under hard accelaeration. Somebody suggested I should check the O2 sensor. Where will I find...

Hi guys. I've owned my Ibiza Cupra for 2 years now with pretty reliable motoring apaty from a couple of coilpacks going. Anyway, my car wasn't performing too well today. It's not remapped and normally boosts at 7psi. Today it has been hitting a wall at 5psi and going no further. Sometimes it may...

Hi Guys, Quick question - the coolant alarm sounded a couple of weeks ago when I when over a speed bump a little too fast. No problem, the coolant was pretty much smack on the 'low' level so I topped it up to the usual 'max' mark. 2 weeks and around 50 miles later, the alarm went off today...

Hi, Got a bit of a problem :think: Started getting a roaring noise under power & thought it was exhaust blowing. Stopped & had a good look but no blowing at all with full revs. Got back on road & noise was a lot worse under pressure & sounds like high pitched turbo woosh. Noise gets...

Im finding that the car seems to loose power/ sort of hold back a little bit when changing into 3rd gear hard sometimes! Whats causing this? Please help! Traction control is turned off!

Hi guys, i have a mk3 ibiza cupra and have just fitted a GRS front mount intercooler on it, before i was peakin at 18psi and dropping to 16psi, now with the intercooler fitted im still peaking at 18psi BUT NOW DROPPING DOWN TO 13psi???? I have read previous posts from years ago when people...

Took the car (Leon TDI Cupra) out this morning (it had been in the garage all weekend) and felt a definite lack of power. This was confirmed 10 minutes later climbing a slight hill as it struggled up in the hill in fourth at 50-60. Also then noticed the engine management light was on...
