replacing

Hi, I've got a 2003 20v 1.8t Cupra and need a new cam belt. Only got 48000 on the clock but it's never had it done. I've been quoted £310 + vat from a non Seat Dealer. Is this fair? Also my management light came on and Seat said it the secondary air injection has an incorrect flow and it...

My cupra tdi is 4 years old so as well as cam belt I been told the brake fluid needs changing too. I have heard it's not as easy as 'have your mate pump the brakes to drain the fluid' anymore and you need something that uses air pressure?! Is there a way of doing it myself as I'm not paying £65!

I have an Ibiza Salsa and I really want to replace some parts second hand (from ripping out parts from broken cars at the breakers yard). As far as I know the Ibiza mk2 is similar to the Polo mk3. Would I be able to get parts from a Polo to replace my Ibiza parts? I can never find an...

Are there any speakers we can fit without the needing adaptor plates, saws, or any other tomfoolery? I want better sound without cutting my car to bits! Haha!

Hi All, My LCR is about 6 years old now, just wondering if it's worth replacing the coil packs at my next services, when the plugs are done? They all seem ok, but wondered if they are the sort of thing that degrade with time (i.e. effect performance). Cheers Lee

Hi all, please go easy on me I know nothing about cars. A bit of background, 6 months ago I put 4 new tyres on my Seat 1.9 TDI FR 06 and put it through MOT using seat specialists in Cardiff just before the warranty was due to expire. All was well and good no issues. 5000 miles later Just...

on all my other cars i have had, i have removed the airbox and replaced with an induction kit - differing makes maily but all on petrol cars ranging from 1.4l to 2.5l v6's. Now i have a Leon FR Tdi, can i repeat the process here? even if its a diesel engine? If so, has anyone else done it...

Hi after i was involved in a collision (other driver pulled out on me), she has managed to damage my front bumper, grill and near side wing. Now being very lucky, i have in my house a new near side wing for the passenger side, a new front bumber and a grill. The best thing is that they are all...

I managed to get hold of replacement door mirrors for my 99 Toledo V5. These are the full electric ones (adjustment and parking). Does anyone have any tips on removing the original (nearside is the most important). It's not clear, looking at the replacements, how the whole unit is secured to...

Right well basically im thinking of doing a boot install in my leon and though if I do an install theres no point having a spare in there as I cant get to it easily. Has anyone else removed their spare wheel and just carried a can of tyre sealer instead? many thanks

Evening all, Looking to replace the glow plugs on the BKD 2.0TDI engine, and had a visual look all round where i could on the engine block... no joy! cant see them anywhere! Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Im trying to work out some cheap mods to do, and thought of replacing the following hoses in the engine bay. Mainly the ones labelled below (thanks rsmith for the donor picture :), engine bay looks sweet mate!): They all look around the same thickness, except for maybe #3 Where can I...

Thanks to a combination of alcohol and Halloween, I have now to replace my drivers side wing mirror (as indeed almost all my neighbours have). Grrr.... Anyway, I have sourced a replacement, but I'd like to transfer the mostly undamaged colour coded blue bit from my old wing mirror to the new...

Want to replace the standard speakers but keep the original head unit, as I live in London I don't want to faff about with a face off unit every time I park up, so what speakers fit and what do you guys recommend?

After spending ages sourcing a silicon y-breather I tried to fit it today only to find that the plastic lower pipe was split as well. It basically came off in my hand [:@]. With a little futher investigation I've found that there must also me damage to the oil breather pipes under the inlet...

ok, I have spent a bit of time with the search function but not found a definitive answer so here goes: My Air Con Compressor is missing it's clutch plate, I've a chance of getting a 2nd hand compressor with it's clutch fitted for very cheap (compared to a new one!) and was wondering what the...

Just got a call to say my car has failed its MOT for a number of things including a knackered Front Lower suspension arm. The quote to do the work being far more than I can afford right now just how hard of a job is it to replace one? I'm looking at the Haynes (for the Golf) right now and...

.....any tips? I tried to do this earlier on, as we noticed the other day that one had failed. I undid the two screws that are visible when u open the boot lid, and then tried to pull the light assembly out but it wouldn't budge. I was pulling it hard enough to cause some creaking etc. so...

Has anyone had a flywheel and/or clutch replaced on a V5? How much does it cost, or how much work is involved? Is it an engine out job? I'm just wondering what sort of effort/expense is required because I'm tempted to pick up a V5 on Ebay that needs a flywheel changing.

Thinking of replacing the k03 this week/weekend, but abit nervous of something going wrong. Main concern is getting access to pipes, like oil lines and water lines, are any of these fragile and concern breaking/cracking?:headhurt: Any tips/suggestions/shortcuts?:rolleyes:
