Hi, I have a 52 plate Leon cupra 1.8 20v T and the amber engine warning light has come on. When its is started from stone cold it coughs and splutters into life, fine if I keep it revving at about 2,000rpm for about 30 seconds and once warmed up a bit idols fine. Also fine if I turn the...

How can i lock the doors and leave the engine running without setting the alarm off, have tried pressing the valet button but this seems to do sweet FA.

Am going to be buying a leon cupra r 225 soon. I am still researching. I would like to know in your experiances what the running costs are to own these cars? what are they like for parts, what are most common things to go wrong and how much roughly to fix? Are they easy to work on yourself...

Planning to fit LEDs to use as daytime running lights does anyone know the law on these do they need to be wired to the side lights or can I wire them into the dipped beam. Do they need to be on a switch? Has anyone got an idiots guide to fit these lights?

my car is running rich and im not sure where to start as there are no fault codes on the ecu and it could be the coolant temp sensor,air flow meter or lambda probe?the only other thing i could think of is ive made my own de-cat pipe and ive unplugged and removed the second sensor.i was just...

I've have the LED sightlights & resistor kit in my spare set of headlamps. However, when I trialled the resistor, it became very hot. Too hot to mount it in the headlamp itself - it would almost certainly burn through the cable insulation & probably burn through the plastic housing...

Have had an intermittant problem with the Bus over the past few years which has come to a head this weekend basically the car would go into 'limp mode' as it were when driving, but it has had an easy fix by pulling over, turning off the ignition, waiting 30s then turing the engine one and...

I know this could probably be one of several things but just thought I'd see if anyone has any ideas (I've done a search but no joy). Engine management light came on the other week, the car drove fine, no power loss or anything. The only difference is when its warm it can't seem to decide on...

I have fitted a new MAF after the car was running rough (plus done over 70k now), but since fitting the car seems to be boosting a bit strange. It is smoother now but seems to bog down around 2000rpm in most gears, like bad turbo lag, and seems slower. There were no other problems before...
