Hello All, I have a noise as if a little plastic thing is moving inside the steering wheel, i only hear it when i'm not turning the cd player on. I also hear a slight vibration from my window when the volume is loud. Is this normal ?? Does anyone know how to check the steering wheel for...

For the first time in a while, the wife was in the car, which meant I turned the stereo down, and noticed a funny noise... There's a strange pulsing / rumbling noise which gets faster with the car's speed (not the engine revs). Everything else seems to be working fine and there's no...

Hello there, Recently got a GTi 16v (yay :)) And it's beautiful, although i have found a couple of things wrong with it, but thats ok, its an Ibiza haha First off, it's leaking quite alot through the Oil Pressure Switch, but i've done a search and this seems preety easy to fix, just a case...

Ok, so as you probably know we had some proper rain in the North East this weekend, maybe not as bad as Cumbria had a few weeks ago, but still Lots of Rain. On Sunday night I was trying to get home (home is on top of the NY Moors) for a flying visit, and obviously I knew the road was wet and...

Hey guys, reading through various threads I've noticed that people say they get a headlight warning light if they open the doors, if the temp is below 4C, when indicating and when the fuel is low.. I get none of these? I ran VAG-COM and only got a problem with my MAP sensor which I wrote...

Hi all. I've been running an Infinity Basslink Subwoofer with 4 channel amp built in running my front speakers for about 18 months. However the past week or so it has started to "fart" if that makes sense at higher volumes i.e. it still beats in line with the song but it isnt crisp and...

My son has recently purchased a 1.4 mk3 Ibiza (become a mini me as I have Toledo same colour). Seems a good car but have a few standard things to sort, discs, service etc. But the annoying one is a noise in the steering. There is no play in the system and it drives really well with no noises...

Only recently this has happened, but whenever i am going around a left hand bend and go over a bit of a bump in the road a weird noise comes from the front wheel on the drivers side. It almost sounds like the wheel is rubbing against something. I have only put 30mm springs on it so cant imagine...

Hi, Got new discs and oads fitted on the front of my 03 lcr on thursday. Car was going fine till saturday when there was this weird scraping noise when i would turn left and sometimes right. Was sounding like something was rubbing the wheel. Jacked the car up and had a look but cant see...

Right, to start with I've got a 1.2S, 02 plate. Now, the problem I'm having, on top of the squeaking that's started now the temperatures dropped inside the cabin, is my suspension seems to be making a lot of awful noises. Going over bumps - which there a lot of where I live - I get some...

Hi All fellow Alhambra drivers I was driving along yesterday when suddenly the 'alternator' warning light came on and the 'alternator workshop!' messaage flashed on my dashboard. The engine kept dipping and the volt meter needle kept dropping, I turned all the electrical stuff off that was on...

Hi All, has anyone had gear lever buzzing noises due to engine vibrations? If so, how have you managed to fix it? Thanks.

In the last month or so since remap have noticed very loud whistling noise between 1k and 2k rpm in first, second and third under acceleration. That said, car drives fine, goes fine. Should I be worried? Burst pipe? Any ideas? Or, is this just a symptom of the remap? Any advice appreciated...

Done lots of searching for this with plenty of posts about it with ppl saying they are going to mention at next service etc. But no actual posts on what the mechanics said it was. My dash makes the most annyoing clicky/tapping/squeek type sound but only does it when the car is cold. (sounds...
