Tonight the missus came in from driving my car and complained about a horrid noise from the engine and the battery warning light flashing. I have been out and had a look but can't see anything obvious - and no warning lights. Started the car and everything seems fine, then the noise starts...
I have a 2001 Cupra and it is really noisy on start up when it's cold. It makes the whole dash rattle more than it does normally for a few seconds and sounds like and old diesel! It's not really noticeable when warm. Is this normal?!
Just started in the last couple of days,its strange i dont understand.does it make a noise when its on its way out or could it be something else?

Hi,
I've recently bought a 2002 Ibiza 1.9tdi 130 with 50,000 miles, i have started to notice that when the turbo kicks in I don't get the normal turbo whistle (that I would expect from a turbo) but more like a growl. It doesn't seem to effect acceleration or mpg, so was just wondering if this...
I have the 1.6 Petrol engine in the SC. Each time when starting from cold I get maybe a second of 'Tappet' clank whilst the hydraulic lifters pressurise. I know it says in the manual that this is normal, but do all the 1.6 engines do this ?
I grew up on OHV and early OHC engines, and any...
Hey everyone, ive got a really annoying fault. Firstly my climate control works fine, Through the full range of temperatures and it adjusts the blowers when in needs too. However after about 40-50 minutes of driving a very annoying buzzin/rattling starts emitting from the unit itself? And no...
Ive had this problem for a while now.
Its basically the bottom of the seat (the bit with your arse on) that seems to "clunk" evreytime i brake or accelerate and ive not been able to narrow it down as to where or what its coming from. There is a slight rocking in there and can be heard even...
Hi, I have a 2001 1.4 Ibiza Chill.....
Simple question first, can anyone recommend a workshop manual for this model.
Secondly ....
For some time now the car is noisy when starting from cold. Best described as a "diesel like" or "excessive engine pinking" noise. The colder it is the...
i'm coming at this from having steering that made no real noise (other than what you'd expect) until a few weeks back. since then when i'm parking (so very low speeds) the steering doesn't sound too healthy at either end of the lock, i reckon it starts when i'm in the last 3/4 of each lock if...
I have had my Ibiza 1.4 Sport since October last year (almost nine months now) and have driven just over 6,000 miles in it. The front brakes squeak and squeal when I apply them in any conditions and the rear brakes groan and shudder when I apply them (on a downhill slope). All brakes make a...

Hmmm....everytime I try to put my front window up in my Altea, it makes a noise like it is squealing. It doesn't do it when it's going down so much and it's not as bad if it is raining. Sounds like it's going to crack! Any ideas please????
Hi, my wifes ibiza has been noisy on tickover for a few weeks, (quite tappety/noisy) the management light has been on for a while also, but sometimes switches off. I put this down to having a brake light off (which was changed the other day)
We've put the car in for a service, and onto a...

car suspension is pretty hard and bumps or rumble strips produce a loud rattle in the roof... any ideas what this could be before i take the lining down?
cheers
The tappits have started making an awful racket on my Toledo 2.3 V5. To be honest, my interest is in bodywork etc, and I'm not really any good with the mechanical side of things.
Would you recommend that a simple adjustment might help with this (and if so, how much do you reckon I'd get stung...
I have an Altea TDi Sport and noticed when being a passenger in it that the passenger side window is really noise from the wind. I am not sure if its the window seal or the door mirror. Anyone had this problem and what did you do to fix it?
thanks

Hey folks,
I fitted 2 Autogauge gauges yesterday and they are quite loud when you turn the ignition on... It's not the whole anti-vibration tpiece thing, as it makes the sound if I take the vacuum cable out, it's more the electrical side of things making a buzzing / humming type sound...
