questions

Hi guys, Looking at part exing my 06 R32 DSG for something a bit more economical. So been looking at FR TDi's. By the way if anyone wants a swap get in touch! I just have a coupleof questions: 1. Do they all come with ant-dazzle rear view mirrors as standard? 2. What options apart...

don't want to bore anyone with introduction the problem so I just get straight to the point. got parrot ck3100 with standard wiring and need reassurance how to connect it. my questions in bold. http://www.nexxia.co.uk/Installation_Advice/Car_Kit_Installation_SOT.htm 1. green and brown...

Im trading in my mk4 to the same dealer network that sold me it due to it being a lemon. its going in for another mk4 fr pd130 evactly same as my current one just a 08 plate on far fewer miles. I was just wondering are there any parts that wont be noticed missing that may be on my 55 plate fr...

Hi i have recently bought a 53 plate LCR 225 in platinum grey and i have to say im in love with it apart from a few little things, 1 is within a day of having it when i lift the cluth it makes a weird grinding/whining noise if slowing down at the same time. I have been told it could be the...

i currently have the 180bhp cupra. thinking of getting it remapped for christmas, ive been told told that i could get around 220bhp and over 300lbs of torque. what i want to know is, as anyone had theirs done, and how good is the outcome. secondly, my service light is flashing, but i...

Firstly, did all the FR models come with different colored mirrors? I'm going to look at a black FR this weekend and the mirrors appear to be black, is this a worry (it's an '04 plate)? Also, do the gear nobs commonly wear on these? Is there anything else I should be looking out for? With...

Hi all, forgive me for this post but I have never really explored this before and it looks simple enough to install a FMIC kit even if you're a novice. I was thinking about buying an 07 Cupra and going Stage 2 but for the price of a standard one, I could get myself a good EVO 8 300 + have...

Which remap for a standard car? I understand many threads have been started on individual remaps, but has there been any back to back testing? Seeing as they're pretty close in price, both promise a gain in power, although I'm keen to hear which remap is the best to go for. There are...

hi having read a thread on here and reading this : http://seatcupra.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=341&Itemid=6 thought i would have play on the way back form work. have held the recirculation button down and then pressed the up arrow the following numbers flicked round on the...

1 - In the service history, will the tick box saying 'Toothed belt' be the cambelt? Done at 70,000 - miles or km I don't know. Are the centre vent surrounds replaceable as one of mine is cracked and it's annoying lol That's all for now Cheers

Hi Does anyone know if the octavia/mk4 golf/bora/TT wheel bearing surround, will fit to a Ibiza? Enabling a big brake conversion, to a Ibiza which has the carrier as part as the wheel bearing surround? Or are the fabia VRS, Ibiza FR bearing surrounds the only way to go? Thanks for...

Got round to fit my autobahn88 TIP today. The fitment overall was very good and got on quite well considering I have little experience working on cars. However, on the turbo inlet, the hose wasn't cut perfectly square so there is a small gap on the top side. The hose still goes well onto the...

I've been venting my tank the last few months since I found out about it, but just had a couple of question (that I probably should have asked first :D ). With a diesel (specifically a PD130 in the FR TDi MkIV Ibiza), is there any harm in venting the tank? Also, how much extra is it safe...

hey! a friend of mine has got one and i haven't seen it but he wants to replace the pollen filter and air filter. where are they/how do you get to them/take them apart? he can't seem to work it out! any ideas? cheers jammy

I have an Audi A4 (B7) and like many B7 guys am interested in the Seat Exeo parts. Does anyone here have pictures of the DIS screens in these cars (Driver Information System)? This is the screen between the speedometer and tachometer. My Audi came with a red monochrome screen and I noticed...

Hi Guys, Just found this site and wanted to say hello and say what a great site it is! I have just bought a 2001 Leon Cupra and i am sure i like it more and more everytime i drive it! Although the car already looks a bit sporty i would like to do a few bits to make the exterior look...

Firstly, will the 323mm brembos from a cupraR fit under the standard 17" star alloys on a leon cupratdi? Secondly, I'd like slightly bigger brakes on the rear aswell, more just for looks than anything. I think the standard size is 256mm discs? What can I use to go bigger? A mate of mine is...

I had a few questions about the 20VT Sport that I have owned for a few weeks. I have done some searching but not convinced with what I have found. On cold start up the initial noise sounds like a diesel but then goes. I have seen a few threads but not sure if this is normal for the 20VT. I...

Right, i've trawled through the search for nearly an hour now, checking various threads and different websites, but most of them seem to be extemely dated. I was wondering, if anyone could recommend a decent HU for a 1.2S Mk4, on a student budget, basically just wanting to be able to plug in...

Right. What bits from other VAG cars fit ibizas? I am under the impression it's mk2 golf subframe & wishbones with a polo 6n rear beam? What upgraded engine mounts can I use? What polybushes fit? What anti-roll bars fit? Can i use mk2/rado G60 braided hosesfor the front an Mk2...
