low

As above :)

I've almost completed 2000 miles in my 2.0spt tdi (17" wheels) and find it impossible to get more than 43mpg out of the car regardless of speed. My old 1.9 tdi would do 60mpg if you drove at fifty and were very gentle, following the traffic on the flat roads in lincolnshire. I'm averaging 39mpg...

Hi there, probably a really silly post this, I must sound like a right div...but here goes : I bought my Ibiza FR TDi back in June this year and is already the engine oil is requiring a fill-up :cry: Don't know if this is normal, but I know that new cars use oil like. Can someone help as...

When my LCR's low fuel warning comes on, I have noticed a strange noise coming from the rear of the car. I presume its something to do with the fuel tank. It can only be heard when the car is ticking over. Its like a clunking noise. Sort of like fuel sloshing around but it won't stop...

Ive just had the report back from a '04 LCR Im trying to buy. The engineer has reported low oil and what appears to be an oil leak on the underside of the engine on the right hand side. Do these cars burn oil and Im wondering whether it could be oil left there from the last oil change..? Any...

guys help, my pedal is awfully low when the car is cold i really have to push it into the floor to get in and out of gear, as the car warms up the pedal rasies, still not to its normall height but certainly more comfortable, this seems to have gotton worse over a few weeks, i know its not the...

Noob need help vag-com error low boost Hi peeps, Got a mk1 cupra 1.8t 180bhp. engine has been in limp mode for a few days now. connected vag-com to read codes and got: 07608 - Boost control valve (N249): Mechanical malfunction. cleared codes etc... have been suffering from low...

Hi guys, My Ibiza seems to have developed a nasty vibration type noise whilst accelerating at low revs. could almost be an exhaust type noise but im not sure. Most noticable in 2nd 3rd and 4th. Does anyone know what this could be? it doesn't sound nice and my local garage just says...

I was just wondering if someone could go out and measure the distance between the ground and the middle of the wheelarch on a std LCR so i can work out how much i've lowered mine by? I know i should've done it before hand but i forgot/am idiot. ATM it's 650mm exactly both fronts and rears...

Hi I have a Pd 115 tdi and the car loses power at lower rpm ( 1400 / 2000 rpm). I noticed (when my vag com still worked ) that i had overboost situations, but no limp mode. I had my turbo rebuilt because of that and still i have low power at low rpm,and also at high rpm it feels that the...

i have a noise like a piece of plastic catching when i turn righ on full lock and when i slow down and nearly stop the drivers side brake sound like its locking up or this may be the abs, i also have the ecu light on aswel but this could be a different matter any ideas anyone

Hi All Just a quickie! I have a rumble from the front end at low speeds. It sounds like a worn wheel bearing sound, but as the car is only 5 months old (16000 miles) I doubt it's that. Is anyone else getting this sound? It's going into the dealer on Saturday for a few other bits, so...

Was driving home last light and came across some road works, beofre i knew it a small sign saying RAMP was 2 cars lenghs away, i hit the ramp doing 40 and it went bang! (the bangs just because of the car being lowered, it does that when i hit pot holes etc)... so i carried on driving but noticed...

In another post i made in the REVO section about hitting limp mode a lot with REVO switched on some clever bods told me to look at the MAF sensor too as this could cause that. Have'nt tested yet, but would average fuel consumption of 40mpg and lower performance also stem from the MAF being...

Ok im going for either a 50 or 30mm eibach spring with koni shock setup, however, im wanting to know if anyone has a 50mm (or more) lowered toledo with 18 inch wheels and has any rubbing problems at all?

Hi all, I'm finding my standard Cupra a bit lacking in low down grunt, once you get it in 4th, 5th and 6th it flies but from the lights I'm finding it lacking. I've scanned the ECU (I'm in the trade) and there's no fault codes and all the live data looks correct so I'm assuming that's how it is...

Hi folks I've tried many a search, but have yet to find consistent answers to this, so here goes...! Just lately, the engine warning symbol thingy has been lit on my 2001 Cupra. At first this seemed to have no detriment on performance, and a trip to a local specialist with vag-com showed...

This morning from cold for about a mile my car was very dead low down before the turbo kicked in but ok when the turbo kicked .. This was happening for about a mile and then was ok.... I had read in the elsa manuals of a fault that can happen with the PD130/150. If there is a lot of rain...

Cos i'm not sure. Lots of people on here have the leon splitter on their front ends, and are lowered 40mm. I couldn't imagine having something that low on the car it'd scrape like hell!!!! what do you reckon? Also, and i know i should post in qu's section! But when i go over a bump the...
