run

I have had my 1st Ibiza for about a month now and I have a couple of annoying faults. 1) If you give it a short run (less than 15 Mins) then turn off, it will only restart by towing. Starter motors spins fine for ages, but no lift off!!. I have noticed, while its cranking, the odometer reads...

Hi Guys, its tyre time and I was wondering what you chaps are running in this delightful weather? I've got a FR Tdi 06 plate with 17 inch cupra alloys with p-zero's on (205/40/17 IIRC?). Anyone else running different rubber with good results?

Hi guys, Firstly I would like to appologise for the lack of time we have been spending on SEATCUPRA.NET lately. Being short staffed on the detailing side of business and with the xmas rush the on-line shop is keeping us all on our toes lately. So, on with what you have all been waiting...

I have not driven my car for two days and when I went to start it today, the battery has run flat. Is this due to the very cold temperatures we've recently had at night? Or is it because the battery installed simply isn't big enough for my needs? I have a small audio system installed, HID...

Hi, Just wondering if people could tell me roughly how much their Cupra costs them to run for an average month? Bit of a random question but im going to be buying one soon and would like to know how much im going to be spending on it, one thats been nicely looked after. Thanks

Well after having a few arguments with Seat ref my poor fuel economy I found out the problem yesterday went to visit Charlie at Surrey Rolling Road ( Nice guy ) and he advised me that the K+N Panel filter I fitted after getting my FR TFSI was the problem. The thing with these filters is they are...

hi everyone i just bought an ibiza cupra R but it comes with a spare engine due to the old owner putting diesel through it and it got replaced with a new one. could anyone tell me which parts are salvagable? im guessing the top end will be fine and the turbo? bottom end will be knackered i...

Hello everyone, I posted this a few days ago on the ICE section of SCN but no one has replied, so I'm hoping I'll have a bit more luck here. Apologies if it isn't too relevant. I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me to see if what I have planned is do-able. I want to get a...

Hi all,I have just done a run with vag-com on my skoda octavia VRS and am trying to find a hesitation problem what are your views please. p.s i have also done block 002 and 115 if anyones interested.

Taught i done some power runs to see whats the car running as it abit cooler outside, since the last time i done it in the summer few months ago. The temp outside was 10 degress 3rgd gear run some didnt feel right when i was doing, as the turbo just felt abit dying out, plus is my...

Hi guys, I have a tiny 15" sub and two amps to add to my car (might downgrade to 12" sub later - borrowed off a friend to see how it goes) - but where do you all run your wires to your setup? Is there a nice easy way of doing it - do you have any tips or tricks? Cheers, Alix

I've had a search but can't find a previous thread on this (hopefully I'm not going to get flamed for missing something obvious now:) I got a nearly new leon FR (petrol) about 2 months ago. It was 12 months old but had only done 2900 miles. For the first 2 or 3 weeks, about 1500 miles(I drive...

As subject says, I've been told it's ok to run the engine with this disconnected (I'm trying to determine if the MAF is faulty). If the engine works ok with it disconnected, what's the point of this component?

Maybe this has been asked before, but I searched this and thousands of other sites without results. Im planning to install a music installation into my car, my amps and sub in the trunk, but I have really no idea where to run with my wires? How to remove the plastics bits at the side of my...

Hi everyone, recently fitted a boost gauge to my Ibiza fr tdi and were wondering what bar/psi you were kicking out? Myself, I cant seem to get over zero and keep getting a vacuum. I don't know if I've fitted it wrong or if theres a kink in the hose to the gauge or if the gauge itself is faulty...

Sometimes my LC feels like it is being strangled and can't get enough air. Putting my foot down causes it to stutter and black smoke to come from the exhaust. It happens most in 6th gear and comes on without warning. At most other times the car is fine if a little snappy on the throttle...

Right this might be a no brainer but here goes I have run the trail version of vag com and it ran through what i believe to be the process (which too hours) now once it has finished all that it says in the window is something on the lines of address 15 air bag not checked now i know...

What would be the maximum power AMP I can run on a 500w wiring kit? I have heard that the AMPs don't produce anywhere near the stated "Max Power" so I was wandering if I could go higher than a 500w AMP (i.e. something like 700w) Cheers,

I have been fiddling with the diesel/propane/NOS mixture which has seemed to work quite well if these figures are correct. When these power at the wheel figures are converted to flywheel figures my car is now making about 335-340ish bhp and 550-570lb torque ! Torque figure does seem quite high...
