normal

On my leon fr tdi i find that it takes along time for the engine to get to normal running temp, if i leave it idling, like to defrost it, it doesn't ever seem to get even get warm. Also i do a 10 mile drive to work in the mornings and if its cold and i get stuck behind something and am doing...

just looking for opinions and views. Does any one really feel a difference running on super unleaded? Any advantages like mpg etc ? Thanks chris

Hi guys, Just a quick question. I've recently bought a mk2 Cupra that's running a Revo stage2+ map, Miltek TBE, Upgraded fuel pump, air filter and an SPS switch (I think that's all the mods). What I wanted to know, would it be okay to use normal fuel when running stock settings on the car? Or...

hi guys i need some help. my 1.8T leon's water temp gauge all of a sudden doesnt read anything then occassionally it'll read normal operating temperature (mid range on gauge) then if i take a corner it drops back down to not reading anything. i thought it could just be the thermostat to start...

When my car is parked and the engine running, if i turn the steering wheel from left to right in short movements, it makes a sort of clunking noise, but doesnt sound as if its metal on metal?

By contrast my parents car (Celica) heats up in about 10 seconds, and if I remember correctly my old 306 took less than a minute too! My dad's suggested getting a new thermastat, and even though Lee has put up a great guide (thanks Lee) it still seems like it's quite a difficult job and...

I leant my parents my car for an hour today and they have put £20 of normal unleaded in the tank :banned: Is there any effects or problems doing this? I know when mapped they are setup to run on 99 ron or similar which is worrying Cheers

Hey hey, Just a quick one; i understand the "thread hover - green", "unread - bold" and "read - normal". However when i read a thread, it doesnt change from bold to normal, my owns posts also make a thread stay bold. Im ok on other forums, using Firefox 3.5.3, it just seems since the...

My Autometer boost gauge (Phantom 5703) is not reading 0 when engine off (-4/-5). Can it be serviced? / Reset. I thought it was only suppose to be a "vacuum" when the engine is idling. The reason I ask is I’m sure my readings on my gauge seem lower all of a sudden ~ no loss in power , vag...

Have just purchased and installed FMCL007P and am very happy as cars seems a more responsive. However I have a question... Since doing this it seem that the value is almost recirculating twice (the tssch sound), once when I lift off accelerator, and then again when i change gear? If I only...

I was going to sell this clutch but it looks like 2 of the prongs are snapped. The thing is, the edges where the prongs used to be look clean and don't like they've sheared off. It's looks to me like they've either been removed on purpose or the clutch was made this way. Can anyone confirm...

Apologies for yet another economy thread, but hopefully with a little more detail than just 'whats your fuel economy?' I've just got a 1.9TDi and am not blown away by the economy. If I take it really easy I can get over 50 but that is on motorway cruises at 60mph most mornings. I've driven...
