running

As title, just wondered how many miles i need to run in my ko3s as its brand new :p thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm looking for a bit of help with my 1.6 sx cordoba 1997 model. The car idles fine but doesn't seem to pull properly under acceleration, the revs rise but its like its missfiring, the plugs, leads and dizzy cap are all new and I've cleaned the sensors. The car hits the rev limiter at an...

Alright folks, well got the oil pressure gauge installed but I think summats not right. Everythings fine until I really put my foot down, once I get up to about 5K rpm the gauge hits 95psi and I get the oil warning light on. Also the idling pressure seems to be very low, about 10-20 psi...

I'm needing pics and possibly pod info for a boost gauge i'm fitting to my car. It's the usual 52mm gauge but i'm struggling to find a pod to house it, nomad do a double a-pillar pod but I think it looks ugly lol. Any help peeps?

All i can say about the Superchips Bluefin remap on my Leon FR TDI is Wow, i thought my Leon was fast before but now it is even faster and better to drive, i even have a usable first gear:) which is a bonus on its own.Turbo comes in quicker and it pulls all the way to the red line.So if your are...

Want to get the car lowered and was wondering what set ups people are running. I have been steered away from the Koni, eibach set up and have been looking at the offer AMD Essex have on the AP coilovers which are supposed to be the same as Weitec but for a lot less but still part of KW...

Evening all, My LC idles fine but sounds like a bag of nails when accellerating or when putting on more revs. Crusing at 70 isn't any different but acceleration power seems down. There are no warning lights on, oil and coolent levels are fine. A couple of searches indicates that it might...

I've installed a Becker Grand Prix Head unit & was considering upgrading the speakers. DLS R6A's seem to be a good option but would these sound any good running off the head unit or would I need to amp them? Don't really want the hassle of installing amps etc to be honest.

Right, im new to all this turbo stuff, i currently have a Corsa 1.8 Sri, ive got a dbilas inlet and a custom 4branch mani, (only two main engine mods) in the next 2 or 3 weeks ill be buying a ibiza cupra. the list that is on the forsale page is:- modifications: revo stg 2 custom remap...

Hi, Apologies if this question has been asked numerous times but I'm planning on changing my LCR front pads (not disks) with OEM Brembo items tomorrow (managed 26k on the originals believe it or not)... Just wondering whether there’s a technique to bed them in properly (series of 30 –0, 40...

guys, im at 86k in the mk1 cupra, its on a 52plate. got it into my head that shes started running lumpy, just had a knock sensor code come up, seems to be harsher ride than normal and have a shite knocking noise from my rear strut and front arb..... what the hell can i do regards...

Washed my car today and noticed afterwards there were water drops running down the inside of the drivers door window and rear drivers side window. Had a look at the leaky door seals threads and this sounds like something different. Could it be the rubber seal that runs around the whole of the...

This engine runs perfectly, crisp, smooth, accelerates cleanly, with the one odd exception of idling constantly at the right revs, but slightly lumpy. Ive done all the ignition, cleaned throttle body, cleaned idle valve, run expensive cleaner through the fuel and still its lumpy. I also...

Hi, As i was driving home tonight, my car lost power and was missing and running like a pig! Plugged into vagcom and it came up with missfire on cylinder 2. I immideately thought coilpack, so to be sure, i swapped the coilpack on cylinder 1 with cylinder 2 to see if the fault changed...

hey guys the money pit is in bother again! mechanic says it bringing up a code about running lean and is putting on the engine management light. he says he can do nothing with it because the car is mapped and the settings are different and since it is something to do with the management he...

I have had a problem with my TDI arosa now for nearly 2 months. When driving along at a steady speed it will hesitat very badly then carry on, it does it when hot or cold but first started when low on diesel. I have changed the fuel filter and air filter. Over Christmas it refused to start so i...

Hi, I am thinking about getting a 2003 cupra and wondered how much cupras cost to run MPG, fragility etc, if you could give me some idea I would be grateful? Many Thanks

My car runs at 90 all of the time and basically stays there same as my vw and others ive had driven. when left to idle not going anywhere for around 5- 10 mins. the fan kicks in for just a few seconds then goes off. the temperature doesnt rise on the gauge. waterpump has been done just over 1k...

As the title suggests, got a 2003 225 LCR. REcently I've started to notice that sometimes, not all the time when I accelarate hard there seems to be a slight hesitation for the revs to actually increase(more noticeable in 6th). Before anybody says turbo lag or something similar, I knw what...

Just wondering if anyone has tried to test one of these sensors with no mapping alterations on a pd130 - Did it produce any boost at all? Any fault codes? From what I understood the only side effect would the car would do 5 psi less, but when i fitted mine (and even after flashing a 4 bar...
