As I'm considering selling my TFSi Sport I went to Glass' website to get a valuation. Turns out they have a bug at the moment which means if you select that your car has metallic paint it cannot quote. I did a valuation omitting the paint but INCLUDING Sat Nav / Bluetooth / 6xCD / Spare wheel...

Hey guys, Had my Cupra K1 since July and my battery died on me. I was away for 3 days, came back and absolutely no life in it whatsoever, no dashboard lights, no response at all. Anyhow, I was reading in the manual that the battery should be charged under controlled conditions by a garage...

Hope someone can shed some light on this, I've searched but can't find anything exactly like this problem... I've just had the car (LC) serviced, and also had the wheels swapped front to back. Now since then I have an odd grumbling/rubbing noise coming from the OSF wheel. I'm pretty certain...

Ok, had this or about a week now, When in full lock / near full lock turning i'm getting like a rubbing / clicking noise... Got my dad to look when it was doing today, and the wheel isn't touching anything / touching the mudflaps... Anyone got any idea? Is this a problem, or just...

Hi All, My other half currently has the 'manual' key that goes with the Leon and I have the radio key... for the first time last night she got to the car before me and opened the drivers door with the key, the door unlocked but upon opening the door the alarm went off... now being a big of a...

Hi All, I was hoping someone migth be able to make some suggestions as to why my car feels like it's kind of swaying from side to side. I know that sounds odd but it almost feels like the wheels are loose, I obviously chekced all the bolts and they are fine. I thought it might be the...

odd problem, help needed asap Couldn't find anything after a search. When changing up through the gears at low revs there is a momentary loss of power at about 2000rpm. It's almost like the engine braking you get when going down through the gears. It's most noticeable in 2nd gear. I'm...

after fitting my boost gauge last nite very quickly i have noticed a strange reading which i know isnt correct, i have not yet actually wired the gauge in ie: earth, illumination and power but just have the boost pipe plumbed in, with engine off it reads -0.5 bar, when engine is started it reads...

Hi, I picked up my Leon Cupra TDi almost two weeks ago and have been really pleased with it so far. I washed her for the first time tonight and whilst washing the alloys noticed that I have 5 different tyres on my car! When I bought the car, I checked the tyres briefly and was happy to...

I seem to have a problem with the Aircon (climate control) on my Leon Stylance, When set to a cooling setting e.g. 16/17 degrees - there is a faint smell which isnt very pleasant - really difficult to describe it though - slightly musky kind of! When set to a high temp to warm the car...

Hi, I tryed to search for the anwser for my quite odd problem. But I only could find posts about the noises, but no solution. So, my problem is basicly having odd squeeking noise coming from the right or left backside of the car. Everytime I turn or drive over a cobble covered road (we...

hello, has anyone got any advice on the following, the rear offside tyre on my 1999 alhambra tdi 90 hp is wearing rather oddly, its taken far more tread off on the inside than out, its recently had a new wheel bearing in the hub but there is still a noise, is there anything that can work loose...

I was playing with vag-com the other night, logging various things to see if I could spot anything unhealthy that might explain my recent big decrease in mpg. Anyway, what I noticed was the following: Sat in the car, not moving, at idle. Car stationary throughout. Watching requested boost...

Hi guys and girls. I've been experiencin some wierd behaviour from the display on my stereo on my mk3 cupra. It all started with the display not turning off as it should when i remove the key from the ignition, it now doesn't display the correct temperature etc etc. I've had to resort to...

odd temperature behaviour - possibly solved. My 2001 LC is not staying at 90c as it should (on the dash guage) (note - once warm, these cars are meant to stay at 90, not drop and not increase) the background o the problem is this: 1. changed coolant temp sensor 5 times in the last 9...

On cold mornings, my clutch only returns halfway up to its normal point, and then may "pop" the rest of the way up a few secs later. Once wram though, it doesn't do it. When I say half way up, it goes past the point of "full bite" (so the gears are fully engaged when I lift my foot off)...

Hi all, I have just bought an 02 plate Leon Cupra (non R version) with just under 51k on the clock and so far I'm impressed. Certainly a lot better than the old Clio 1.4 RT I was driving before. I just have a couple of questions as I'm unfamiliar with the make/model. When I start the...

Hi peeps, im getting an odd rubbing/graunching/scuffing sound when im going slow, it gets louder to a point as you speed up then goes. All I can thing of is that it may be my brakes?? Any other ideas?
