poor

Just had a stage 1 Revo software installed to my car on Saturday Travelled 4 60 mile journeys and could easily see 60mpg while sitting at 60mph. Although after the remap I only seem to be getting 53mpg at the most on the same journeys? Is there anything that could be causing this poor mpg...

I have a 2001 Cupra 1.8 turbo 20v In the morning on cold starts it idles fine but if I move within 20 seconds the revs start to flucuates if it wants to stall. If i turn off the igniton and restart it, it's fine. If i sit and lightly rev in for 30 seconds it is also fine. When going along, in...

After writing off my Renault Sport Clio 172 Cup, I decided to buy another Cupra (having owned a MK3 Ibiza Cupra previously). It does have some knocking / twanging noises from the front wheels that I think maybe the cheap coilovers its on being rusty and slammed to hell! Anyway I took...
