Hi I have a 2001 1.9 TDi Toledo - only had it for a couple of months and there are a couple of problems i'm hoping someone can help to diagnose please! 1. A random warning light came on yesterday, which isn't listed in the owners manual. The manual is obviously slanted towards the petrol...

I own an FR TDI. I really quite love it. I had the misfortune of being given a 1.6 Vauxhall Meriva hire car for about 1 hour the other day from Bristol International Airport> cross country > M5 > M4 > Newport, Wales. I've come to the conclusion that crap cars such as that cause road rage...

Hi all, just bought an 03 Ibiza 1.2 S and its a fab car. Got a few niggles but I blame that more on the dealers not checking it than the car itself - good job I have some time off work to get it sorted under warranty... Just a quick question; every so often I hear a random beeping noise, just...

Temp sensor is beeping at me, then it flickers but the temp is sitting at 90 degrees or lower... Anyone any ideas? Ive checked the level and its fine, so i know its not that. Its not a head gasket issue i dont think as theres no leakage, no steam, an no mayo in the oil cap. I just wonder...

heres some pics of a random device hanging down under my steering column, its a small press button switch with 5 red led lights on it, connected by a ribbon cable that runs behind the centre console. anyone know wtf it is? or even better what it does?

I was having a spirt drive today and went round a roundabout in 3rd then give it the beans to come off and as i did it heard to 2 beeps, like the one you get when your low on fuel. No lights on dash and car seems fine...any ideas? Cheers

I was driving to the airport last week when on the way some of the dash lights flickered up for a split second, too quick to notice which ones, and went off again. Forgot about it and went on me hols. Then, on the way back from the airport a couple of days ago the same thing happened, different...

<geek mode ON> While I had various bits off my car the other week, I wanted to have a look inside my turbo inlet, but couldn't get my head far enough down to see. So I took a couple of close-up photos with the camera so I could see what it looked like. I presume they look normal ? :shrug...

for some reason my leon temp gauge has been acting strange all day. start car from cold, after about 10mins, needle hits 90c, after half hour of driving I looked down at the dash to see the needle slowly moving back down to 60c, then floating between 60 and 90c the rest of journey. coming back...
