  1. Rattling and squeaking noises

    Hello, I have the mk6 Ibiza FR model with the leather dashboard package and the build quality of the plastics is honestly horrible. There are rattling noises with basically any road bump, not to mention touching the door handles of any door and pushing the door outwards feels like the plastics...

    Paint Quality

    Is it me or is the paint quality very poor on the Leons. I have never had a car that the paint on the bonnet has chipped so much.(The worse part of the Car) The lacquer around the chips starts flaking off, in fact i am going to ask the dealer to look at it see what they say.

    LC THS TIP - to short to reach air box + quality issues

    Spent a few hours this weekend fitting a THS TIP. Would of been a lot quicker but I spent ages trying to align the TIP but it just wont reach the air box. It is to short by around 25-30mm, if you include the MAF housing I'd say it was around 40-50mm short. Has anyone else experienced this...

    I've got a Mk2 Cupra (2008) I've just put in a top of the range touch screen Alpine Head unit (ixa w404r) with a small "Vibe" sub ensclosure in the boot to handle the bass. I have left the stock speakers as they are and have not added an amp. I am very happy with the sub and the head...

  6. Another FR ride quality thread

    I just wondered, as far as it's possible, could anyone here with fsds on their FR describe in a percentage the improvement in ride quality you get with the Konis? I only ask as I'm trying to work out whether it's worth me upgrading. I'm having a hard time adjusting to the new car and unable to...

    Hi yall Just got a TDI Sport 130, wowed by the power and economy Its a nifty little motor but i find the suspension plain potty! It seems really hard but not in a sporty way, rather more in a bumpy leery way- (I'm coming from a Mk2 Golf gti by the way) Ive searched on the forum and you...

  8. Paintwork quality

    Hi, I have a month old black magic coloured Ibiza and as with all new cars birds seem to love leaving deposits on it. Is it right that a 'splat' removed hours after its deposited leaves the paintwork 'matt'. I can't even polish the mark out. I certainly did not have the same problem with my...

  10. Speaker quality 5dr vs 3dr

    Hi, This week i have test driven both the 5 and 3 door Ibiza's (both 1.4, one se the other sport) and have noticed the rear speakers in the 3 door are useless and distort the sound at fairly low volumes. I suspect its due to the rear doors on the 5 dar cars acting as a speaker box, rather...

  13. Does quality fuel count, I think so

    I now use shell v-power and used to use tesco - mainly for the 5p off offer. Recently I had starting trouble (nothing too severe) but after searching theses forums people recommended shell. I was sceptical at first but now i'm converted, quality fuel counts. No starting trouble and I swear...

    Build Quality

    We bought a Fabia VRs at the weekend to replace the G/F's Lupo. Now I've been toddling around in it and it's made me realise just how badly built and finished the Ibiza is. Better trim, much better soundproofing. Better ride quality and better driving position. I can honestly see me...
