Well after having a couple of disappointing rolling road results, i was determined to investigate the reason why. me being me, took it to the Garage, yep you guessed it Votex in Congleton. And i must say after a new MAF and also finding a major boost leak between the Charge Pipe and...

I have recently put an induction kit on my 1.4 beeza and had to get a little mini filter for the breather pipe from the crank case. i noticed when i had the engine runnin that there was quite a lot of steamy chemical smelling vapour coming out of the pipe. is it usual for this to...

I've finally sorted out my cars problems with a brand new MAF after lots of posts on here and trial and error! Now it's fixed, I have noticed though, that my LCT seems to have ever so slightly fluctuating performance. For example, if I accelarate hard a few times, say between several sets...

I'v read up alot on the cars and i understand that that a certain pump makes alot of noise when the car is cold. Is it a slightly Diesel Tappety sound? I'v done a search but did not really find any answers to the type of noise it makes. Cheers Ken

Alrighty, just thought i'd ask this as a quicky. How much soot is normal kicking out from the exhuast. Just that a few of my mates and work mates who have been behind me while driving say that it kicks out rather alot.. i can see it in my rear view mirror too... thanks

Hello SEAT owners. I have been in this forum for awhile considering to by a new Ibiza. Recently I have been looking at Ford Fiesta's 1.4 which are around 2 years old but then on friday noticed the offer Seat were doing on the 1.4 Sport and the Special Edition DAB model with 0% APR. Just...

A bit of a pointless ranting thread sorry..! :whistle: I have had a few people in my work now slate the looks of my Leon FR+ by saying that it looks like any other Leon and looks "just like a very basic normal car"...and "its no-where near as good as a BMW" etc etc A leon 1.6S was parked...

I have just fitted my boost and oil guage and when in 2nd it boosts to 10 (spot on no bouncing) and in 3rd 4th and 5th it boosts to 20 (spot on no bouncing) and slowly reduces the higher the revs? Just wondered cos ive seen some people on here saying theirs only boosts at 14/16 on revo stage 1.

driving to UNI today the engine temp needle dropped as i was following a truck on a windy road at moderately low speeds, it went from half to about a quarter then 5 mins later went back to half and didnt move from half again. its never done this before is there a logical explanation? and is...

Ok my clutch is doing my head in. EPC light was on and found out it was the white screw on the clutch switch had come loose. EPC light gone out no play in my clutch pedal any more, no clicking and no over revving when letting off, changing gear etc. JOB DONE!!.............NO. Now i...

As title says. This is the top of my eninge on my LC as you can see. One is raised where the others arent. Is this normal or do i have a problem I pushed it in before i started the engine so it was like the others, i turned the key and heard the TB aligning so i waited til that...

Ive just spoken with a Seat dealer regarding a car I was looking to buy. The inspection showed up oil around the pulley end of the engine - so the owner kindly had it taken back to Seat for them to inspect. Ive just been told myself from the SEAT dealer that this oil coming out of the engine...

Whats peoples opinions on how to fit this, iv read a few people say reverse, and one person said somewhere that they spoke to Forge at some show and even they recommended fitting in reverse, something to do with it working like the old diaphram type. Any more opinions on which way to fit it?

Hi All, I fitted my new front discs and Galfer 1055 pads today to my LCR. Once finished I drove over to my parents which was about 8 miles, when I pulled up I noticed quite a lot of smoke coming from the brakes on both sides. I’ve changed the pads before and not had this, but this is the...

i was going to do a search for this but didnt have a clue what to search for... Basically, if i am just cruising along at about 2000rpm, any gear doesnt matter and i decide i want to put my foot down, i do so, revs shoot up to about 3000rpm, then drop down a few hundred then go back up again...

I've only had my Leon (standard FR) a couple of months but not that impressed with the brake pads they dont seem as responsive as I expected them to be. Plus they squeal when put into reverse, is this normal?? I also noticed that the front brake pads produce an excessive amount of brake...

Please advise where the best place is to get the correct removal tools for the standard AURA CD/Player from my 2005 Leon FR & where do i get the DIN Converter housing? dealers or halfords ??? Iam i right in thinking the Battery Live & Ignition live are the otherway around in these Cars ...
